fort-ForeIgn Facts Of Interest.
LONDON, May Mr.. Parnell denied
knowing Number One,- either under
the name Of lyman or any other. He
had never heard Egan associated with
the martyr fund" for the benefit of the
families of those executed and incarcer-
ated for participation in the Phoenix
park murders. He saw EUahing criminal
in the fund, but rather thought it was
right to assist the innocent victims Of
the martyrs"
Mr.. Parnell said he could not recollect
having denounced outrages between
1878 and 1881. He believed the outrages
were the work of small societies.
A Sensational Incident.
A sensational incident-the most re-
markable Of the days examination-oc-
CURED when Sir Richard Webster quoted
q statement made by Mr.. Parnell during
the debate on Mr.. Forster's bill in 1881,
suspending the habeas corpus, to the
effect that secret societies had then
ceased to exist in Ireland. Sir Richard
asked Mr.. Parnell if he believed the
statement when he made it.
Mr. Parnell-No; at any rate it was an
exaggerated statement.
Sir Richard Webster-Did you or did
you not misstate the fact when you
made that statement?
Mr.. Parnell admitted that he had
made the statement knowing it to be UNI
true, or at least extravaganza. He
further admitted that he had never
withdrawn the statement. His purpose
in making it was to exaggerate the effect
which the league had had in eradicating
secret societies.
Mr.. Parnell further testified that he
was unable to say what had become of
the books of the Land League. Some OF
them were brought to London and some
were now before the commission.
When the missing books and documents
were he did not know, but he would en-
deavor to find out.
Trick to Capture Rochefort.
NJ. Rochefort has abandoned his jour
ney to Bona, Algeria. for which place
he started to bury his son, and returned
to London. He had applied to the French
government for permit to go to Alge-
ria for the purpose mentioned and had
been assured that the necessary papers
would be forwarded at once. Upon his
arrival at Dover, where he was joined by
his daughter, he found no papers await
ing him, nor did they arrive during the
succeeding two days during his stay.
Disguised at the apparent indifference of
the French authorities he gave up the
idea of attending the obsequies of his son
and rejoined his fellow exiles here.
NIoravian Miners Object to swindIing.
A body of infantry has been sent to
quell the rioting which prevails among
-.
Moravia. The miners demand the return
of $4,000 which they have collectively
paid in on account of insurance premi-
ums which demand the master, refuse
to comply with, hence the riots. Thus
far ten of the leaders in the disorders
have been arrested, but the men are de-
termined to fight until they are over
powered by superior numbers or their
demands are satisfactorily met
IntervIewers Weary American Delegates.
The American delegates to the Samoan
conference in Berlin have been so pest
cred by the opportunities of German re-
porters and American correspondents
that they have been compelled to refuse
admittance to all callers, except those
personally known, or who give satisfac-
tory assurance that they are not inter-
viewers.

meeting in Manchester on May 81 under
the auspices of the Liverpool Financial
Reform association. The largest hall in
the city has been engaged for the occa-
sion, and ii is believed that more persons
will be turned away for lack of accom-
mediation than will be able TO find room
within.
