The Irish Rnycntts.

LONDON, May 30.-At the meeting of the
Parnell commission to day, Arthur O'Con-
nor, member of parliament, testified that
while he was in Indianapolis last year
General Harrison, now President of the
United States, said every honest man and
lover of liberty would rather share the
company of William O'Brien in Tullamore
jail than that of the viceroy in Dublin
castle. O'COnnOr said that when he took
office III the league he found many of the
books fragmentary and in arrears. 1t was
impossible to do anything with them
He did not know whether the books
which the government seized during the
administration of Chief Secretary Forster
had been destroyed Judge Hammer or
dered inquiries to be made about these
books. O'COnnOr repealed as a calumny
the suggestions that the tenants under
stood his advice to them to boycott land
grabbers as a hint to murder or use VIC
lence upon them. He admitted SAYING it was
not unnatural that a man who saw his fam
lily flung into the roadside should shoot
the evictor
Justin Mccarthy. member of parliament,
testified to the horror and dismay which
the PhcAnlX park murders caused among
the Parnellites.
George Lewis, Parnells solicitor, was
examined with reference to the missing
books. He said he had no knowledge of
any books except those of the Eeglish
branch league, which were produced in
court He had not applied for the return
of the cancelled checks or bank pass-kook.
Justice Hannen-''The court will not al

have them ALL
Lewis said he had not inquired what be-
came of the leagues letters, nor had he
taken any steps to trace the payments of
the money.

WASHINGTON, May 30,-Although the
weather prospects were dubious this
morning, the veterans of the late war
turned out in good force to make their an
nual pilgrimage to Arlington, the Soldiers
home and other grounds where the remains
of their old comrades rest, and to pay
tributes of respect ana affection in the
shape Of floral offerings and suitable cere-
monies. There was little evidence of bust
ness activity and the spirit of the day was
toleraoly observed The Grand Army of
the Republic concentrated its efforts upon
Arlington. Attorney General Miller was
the representative of the administration at
that place. General D. S. Alexander was the
orator OF the day, and poem was delivered
! by Eugene I. Ware, of Kansas There was
appropriate music by the Marine band and
a salute was fired by battery of artillery
! General SheTidan's grave was especially
decorated by the ladies of the Potomac relief
corps and the monument of General Gabriel
S. Paul was unveiled with an appropriate
address by Chief Justice Charles Drake.
At the Soldiers home Major S. S. Rock
wood delivered the GRAFTON and Colonel
! Dewitt Sprague read an original poem,
while similar offices were performed at the
! Congressior cemetery by Hon. W. w.
Curry and &. B. Fleming respectively.
Y Flowers were SIIeWn over General
LOgan's tomb by a committee of the Logan
guard of honor.
At st. Matthews church mass was cele-
brated at 9 clock for the repose of the
soul of the late General Sheridan and for
tht soldiers who fell in battle
The attendance at Arlington cemetery
was unusually large. Mrs. Harrison, Mrs.
Mckee and husband and DR.. Scott of the
White House brought boquets which they
placed on General Sheridan's grave, Gen
eral Schofeld and staff and Senators
Sawyer and Henderson were present.
The first ceremony of the day was at the
the Sheridan monument. Other members
of the G. A. r. committee of the Womens
Relief corps and Loyal legion com
mandery gathered within the enclosure
around the monument The Marine
band played a dirge of and old veteran
pulled a rope, and the flags which have
covered the monument since it was put in
place, fell to the ground, exposing to view
the plain granite shaft, thirteen feet high,
and bearing on its face the bronze bust me
dallion of General Sheridan. The Womens'
relief corps threw a shower of roses around
the base of the monument, and later in the
day the children of General Sheridan added
their contribution to the heap which kind
hands had strewn about their fathers
grave.

Secretary WINDOWS worsted Decision.

Especial to THE MISUNDERSTANDING Dispatch
WASHINGTON, May 30.-Secretary Win
dom decided the worsted controversy yes
terday in accordance with the wishes of the
wooden manufacturers. This result is ar
rived at by deciding that worsteds are
woOlens and do not come under the worsted
schedules. Mr. Window apparently lacked
the audacity to make this reversal of the
immemorial practice of the treasury de
partmept on his own initiative. When Mr.
William Whitman and the other gentlemen
interested presented their arguments here
in March, ne told them he must have a con-
crete case to justify decision. All the ap-
praisers were then following the old prac-
tice under the tariff of 1857 of classifying
worsted coatings with other Worsted, and
there could be 10 appeal from this classify
cation because the importers were satisfied
with it and would make no appeal. Imme-
diately after the wooden manufacturers
had indicated to the secretary what they
wanted, disposition to reverse the old rul-
ing suddenly was developed among the sec
retary's subordinates. Whether the
change was due to suggestion from head
quarters must be left to conjecture Ger
tain it is, however, that the appraiser at
Philadelphia, the meeting of general ap-
praisers at New York, the assistant ap-
pralser at New York, the appraiser at New
York, the collector of customs at New York
and the solicitor of the treasury wheeled
into line with startling promptitude, and
the appraisers decided that their old prac-
tice had been wrong, and that worsted
coatings did not belong with other worsteds
but with w0ollens. Secretary Window had
built bridge upon which it was easy for
him to walk from the firm ground of I'M
broken Republican and Democratic practice
for twenty-five years into the structure
which Mr.. Whitman and the manufacturers
had prepared for him. Yesterday he crossed
the bridge in good order and issued an opin-
ion of some seventeen typewriter pages,
telling why his policy is to be different from
that of his predecessors. This decision
will probably put stop to the importation
of worsted coatings. The importers will
appeal to the courts, but it will be months,
if not years, before they get decision, and
in the meantime they will be in uncertainty
whether the duty they will finally have to
pay will be the larger or the smaller one.

A Kapsan Fanatic.

EAST ST.. LOUIS, May 3O.-1he Republics
Fort Worth, Ark, special says: Quite d
sensation was created here by the remarks
of Hon. Mr. Kelly, Of Kansas, whose speech
followed that of the orator of the day at
the memorial services. He said that in the
past the state of Arkansas was in disrepute.
Comrades Benjamin and Clayton were as
sassinated in this state because they were
loyal to the flag of their country. The eyes
OF the entire country are upon Arkansas.
He said that his state legislature had
passed resolutions denOuncing Arkansas
and calling upon the state government to
protect its people, even if it had to put the
state under martial law, and then con-
tinued:
Il am Congressman, and comrades, L
Will see that you are protected II my IN
tiuence and power can effect it, even if we
have to resort to martial law"
The indignation and contempt OF the cItl-
Zens on this remarkable speech of Kelly
eliminated in large and spontaneous
meeting at the court house at + p. m. 1t
was composed of both Republicans and
Democrats, and the Republicans reported
by committee composed of two Republl-
cans and one Democrat, two of whom were
federal soldiers and members of the G. A.
L. j. P. Grady, Republican and ex-federal
soldier and member of the G. a. R., was
called to the chair, when the following
resolution was unanimously adopted:
''Resolved-That this meeting, composed
of Democrats and Republicans, denounces
the speech of Mr.. Kelly as not only false
but on such sacred occasion in taste
that could, it is to be hoped, emeniate from
no part of the civilized country except
from the state whose legislature made such
a disgraceful show of itself in the resolu-
ton of which Kelly boosted so largely to-
day.

WASHINGTON, May 3O.-Mrs. Chandler,
mother of Mrs. Maybrick, is well remem-
bered in this city by old residents of Mobile
who knew her when she was the wife of a
prominent banker there She was faci-
mating woman and finely educated. She
! wrote French and Spanish as 1uently as
English Not long after her marriage to
Chandler their incompatability became APP
parent. Family jars were frequent, and it
IS said that during these scenes Mrs.
Chandler often declared that she wished
her husband or herself dead. When her
husband was finally taken i'll, the gossips'
tongues wagged at great rate. Mrs.
Chambers conduct was not calculated to al
lay suspicion. She refused positively to al
low her motherin-law to see the patient, she
herself nursing him until his death, keeping
the chamber under lock and key all the
while. In view of her high social position
and the absence of tangible evidence, she
was not mOleSted by the authorities.
Not long after her husbands death she
married Colonel Dubarry, of the confeder
ate army. He was a brother of Dubarry,
OF the commissary department, United
States army. Early IN 1864 the husband
was ordered to Europe on q confidential
mission for the confederacy and he started
for Liverpool, taking his wife and young
daughter, now Mrs. Maybrick, with him.
AT sea Colonel Dubarry was suddenly
taken i'll, with all the symptoms of arsen-
ical poison. He died on board and was
buried at sea
A few years ago Mrs. Dubarry met Mr..
Haggard, an attache of the British foreign
office who was said to be brother Of the
well-known novelist H. Rider Haggard. |
She is said to have fully unfolded her his !
tory to Haggard. He is reported to have |
married her and taken her to Persia, where |
he was billited as an attachee of the British |
legation. Haggard was grass widower at |
the time, having married the charming |
young daughter of Washington family of |
high social position. They lived together |
only short time before the wife sought !
divorce, which was quietly secured upon
grounds never made public. Maybrick,
who has spent almost all his life abroad, |
was discarded b. the beautiful woman.
She clearly resembled her mother in face
and figure, and apparently inherited her
mothers alleged propensity for dabbling
in deadly drugs.

that VoudOoism and its disgusting rites still

POSSIBILITIES IN BEHRING SEA.
What Naval Force the United States Can
Command In an Emergency.

WASHINGTON, May 3O.-The warlike dis
expected trouble between the United States
and Great Britain over the Behring seal
fisheries are generally discredited by the
officers of the navy department. II is
pointed out that no officer sufficiently high
to make him acquainted with the English
governments purposes would under any
circumstances be so foolish as to talk in
the manner stated in the dispatch from
Victoria, British Columbia.
A prominent naval officer to-day said the
United States had no reason to apprehend
any difficulty. Great Britain assuredly
would not commit any overt act in case her
sealers were arrested without warning this
government of its intentions. The
warning that Great Britain would
by force dispute the sovereignty of
Behring sea never has been communicated
to the United States, and this alone shows
the improbability of the story. 1t might be
that the vessels named were going to
Behring sea, though that was by no means
certain. Their duties there, however,
would probably consist in nothing more
than in keeping a watch on the situation
to prevent their citizens from being wan
tonly ill-used and giving the sealers good
advice. If our vessels attempted anything
that was unwarranted, it might be that the
British officers would feel called upon to
interfere. The United States sent vessels
each year to the Newfoundland fisheries
to look after American interests,
and the British vessels probably
had similar mission in Alaskan waters,
presuming that they would go there.
The United States naval force at present
available in Behring sea consist of the
Bear, the uThetis and revenue cutter
The sea vessels are of no use for actual
warfare, and are simply policemen of the
sea. The Adams and Iroquois are at Mare
island and could be sent to sea on short
notice if circumstances demanded it.
The Charleston is also at San
Francisco, but it will be some
time before she is ready to go
into commission. She has demonstrated
that she is an excellent boat, but has not
filled the contract requirements, Even if
these requirements were waived under
the stress of emergency it would take some
time to fit the Charleston out for service,
as has been already stated.
However, naval officers do not think the
situation at all alarming or even threaten
ing. The Behring sea fisheries, they are
confident, will not precipitate a conflict
between the United States and Great
Britain

The Day in New York.

New YORK, May 3O.-Early this morning
it did not give promise of fair day as rain
fell lightly at intervals, but as the morning
wore on the rain ceased entirely and the
sun at times almost broke through the
clouds All the public buildings displayed
flags at half mast, but there was a meagre
display of bunting elsewhere. The parade
started at 9 o'clock from Fifty-eight street,
The line of march was down Fifth avenue
to Fourteenth street, thence to Broadway
around Union Square. The Lincoln and
Washington statues were beautifully
adorned with flowers. The procession was
led by General o. o. Howard with bat
talon of marines. The parade was re
viewed by Governor Hill, Vice-President
Morton and Mayor Grant. After the parade
the members of the G. A. r. went to the
various cemeteries and decorated the graves
of the dead.

The interior of the tomb was a mass of

pletely hide the casket.
Chan Yen Hoen, the Chinese plenipoten-
tiary at Washington, sent floral device
bearing his name. Many G. A r. and
other organizations also sent more floral
contributions.
On the left side of the tomb platform
