by Mr. Parnell against John Walter, reg

came up before the court at Edinburg
again to-day and the case was dismissed,
the costs being taxed against the plaintiff

owning the Times, arrestments against
him as an individual would be invalid.
Parnell Will appeal from this decision.
Beech said that Egan also told him
there were many payments made by the
league which it was impossible TO make
public, and he instanced paying the
officers who were sent from Amsterdam
TO assist the Beers during the Transvaal
war The witness had two interviews
with Mr.. Parnen. The first interview
was held at the house of A. NJ. Sullivan
at Chatham, and the next in the lobby Of
the house of commons, where, after con-
versing with O'Kelly and Parnell to-
gether, he had talk with Parnell alone.
PaTnell said it rested wholly with the
leaders of the revolutionary party TO
bring both parties into line: asked wit
ness to get Dewey to meet him in Paris,
and offered to defray Devoy's expenses.
He also desired to meet Alexander Sulli-
van, Hines and others. FDoctor, he
said to Beach, who is a Prussian, 81

anything but force of arms can ever
bring about the redemption of
ireland. - Mr.. Parnell went on to say
he did not see why a successful insurrec-
ton should not happen in Ireland, add
ing: 81 think we have at the end of the
year G100, 200 in the league treasury
That is a pretty good nucleus. You
people might do something more. - On
seeing MIR. Parnell third time he
conversed with him for few
seconds only and on bidding him good
bye, he got his photograph signed,
yours truly, G.. S. Parnell, - as a
memento. He would produce the photo

members of the league. He discussed
an open movement with Sexton and

Brestin, who with Hines and Dewey
then formed the revolution

willingness to bring the parties into line.
So also did Sullivan, Hines and Dewey
whom he met in Chicago. Driscoll ex-
pressed himself as pleased to see that
Parnen was returning to his senses
on the revolution question, but
he objected to any collision be-
tween the organizations. Witness was
