PHOENIX PARK TRAGEDY.
And the Supposed Assassin Delaney
Brought Before the PaTnell Commits
sion.

LONDON, Jan. l6
Upon the resumption of the session of the
Parnell commission, this morning, Presiding
Justice Harmon said Mr.. VIM. O'Brien's ar
ticle on United Ireland, for which he was
summoned to appear before the court, ex-
ceeded fair discussion of the case under in
yestigatiou. Yet he would not punish Mr..
O'Brien. He added, however, that in the
future cases of a similar nature would be
more severely treated.
Delaney, who is now undergoing SEN
tence for Phoenix Park murders, was
called and testified. When questioned
about Egan's letter in which reference is
made to the fund, Delaney said he knew
nothing about snch fund. On cross-eram
iuation the witness admitted that when he
was he was sentenced to penal servitude
for five yesrs for highway robbery. He en-
rolled himself With the fenians the same
night he left prison. When accused of the
Phoenix Park murders he gave the suthorl-
ties all Information in his possesssou. When
asked nov he came to give the Times
evidence, ne stated that Crown Solicitor
shannon came to the jail a fortnight ago and
took his sworn statement. Recurring to the
fenian organization he declared it never
was an assassination society except in cases
where somebody informed against them.
The fenians sought to fight openly and were
very different from the invincibles. He
knew Egan, Brennan and Byrne to be
fensns in 1875 and had met them at a secret
me ting. He admitted he never met them
among the invincibles but knew they were
the leaders of the invincibles through Can
and others.

linear foot, instead of s, and lS cts.
Agreed TO.
The amendment heretofore offered by Al
Hson, as 10 taggers iron was somewhat mod
ihed by him and Jones of Ark. moved to put
that article on the free list.
In answer TO Vest A llisou said there were
quite number of tin plate establish ments in
the country which could in very brief Pc
Rod, enter on the production of tin plates.
He believed within the time fixed for the
new provision to take effect Jan. l. 1890
the plant would be sufficient in the country
To manufacture all the tin plate used here in
competition with Great Britain.
The committee decided TO allow the pres
ent rate on Tin plate to stand until the first
of January, 80. That would allow time for
the establishment of a sufficient plant in this
country to produce all the tin plate needed.
Jones of Arkansas argued in favor of putting
tin plate on the free list. lie said the
amendment doubled the tar on an article of
prime necessity and diverted the revenue
from the public treasury into private pock
cts. More than $4,000. 900 revenue were
derived from tin plates and acted as q draw
back ON the expectation of tin ware. He
thought if nine tenths of the duty were re-
mitted to foreigners, ten-tenths ought to be
remitted to the people of the United States.
Putting tin plate on the free list would bene-
fit the people at large and not private corpo- |

DENOUNCED BY THE PAPERS i.

CHICAGO, Ill, Sept. l9.-The morn
ing papers all denounce yesterday IS SEN
sational story about Lecaron' g daughter
having furnished evidence ethat DR..
Cronin was murdered by eIhissaries of
the British government, as a plot of the
so-called ''Triangle. -
THE LECARON LETTERS, LAUGHED AT.
CHICAGO, Ill, Sept. 19.-The Even
ing News publishes the following:
Why the story is not any good sup
posing it were true, - laughed Judge
Longenecker, referring TO the fairy tale
of the letters from Gertie Lecaron,
which are said to contain the true story
of the murder of CrOnin.
''Letters are utterly inadmisslble as
evidence - he continued, ''and then if
they were, does that explain away the
guilt of the defendants here? If Cough
lin secured q white horse TO drive the
doctor to his death, how does this story
excuse him? Why should Burke. who
hired the Carlson cottage, escape? 1t
is prepOsJerous story and utterly use
less as a defense. -
When the court was called TO order af-
ter the recess it was understood that Mr..
BeTwin, attorney for Frank Woodruff,
the prisoner in the CrOnln case VINO was
TO have a separate trial, would move for
a discharge of his client on the ground
that the statutory time within which he
is entitled to hearing had passed.
The states attorney said: ''TheTe is a
motion here to discharge Woodruff. If
your honor please, I will state at this
time that we also hold Wood
ruff for horse stealing and he
has on his own motion continued
that case until the next term. In addi-
tion TO that he has made motion for a
separate trial. We were ready to try
him this term and but for that he would
have been on trial now. In addition to
that there is an affidavit on file showing
that on his motion the case was continued
to August and was then continued TO this
term. BY evidence Of his own showing
we have all Of this term in which to try
him and under supreme court decision,
we can continue it until the next
term on showing good cause. We think
there is sufficient cause if it becomes
necessary to show it.
After some further talk the matter was
set for hearing at O'Clock tomorrow
afternoon The examination of veniTe-
men was then resumed. No further
members of the panel had been accepted
at the hour of adjournment. The hear
ing will be resumed at / o clock to-mOr-
row afternoon.

be found without any difficulty If the po-
lice really want him. Mr.. ROddY is at
Brideweu, and viii stay there for sey-
