WITNESS PlGGOTT TALKS WILDLY.

| LONDON, Feb 21.-In the cross-examina-
ton of Witness Piggott before the Parnell
| commission today he said he had cor
responded with Mr.. Forester from 1881 to
| 1881. He denied that he had communicat-
ed with every Irish secretary since 1870. To
the best of his belief he did not write to
Earl Spencer in 1873 offering valuable in
formation for money. He denied that III
his statement to Mr.. Lewis he said that the
publication of the letters by the Times
had alarmed him and thath had therefore
asked Archbishop. Walsh, because he re-
garded the archbishop as his confessor.
He denied that he knew that the articles
on Parnellism and crime We're being pre-
pared.
Sir Charles Russell here produced a let
ter from PigeotC to Archbishop Walsh
dated March 4, 1857, and marked Private
and confidential" In his letter PIggott
told the archbishop that he was aware the
proceeding were contemplated with the
object of destroying the Parnellites infu-
ence in parliament. All that he could in
dictate was that the proceedings would
consist of the publication of statements
tending to show the completely in crime of
Parnell and his colleagues. He assured
the rchbishop that he wrote with a full
knowledge of these designes and could in
dictate how they could be successfully com.
batted and defeated.
Sir Charles Russell pressed the witness
to explain how these designs could have
been defeated if the letters were genuine.
Piggott replied that he had not the
slightest recollection of writing anything
of the kind He did not recolect what
charges were made in the letter and in
fact he did not recollect the letter at all.
He could not have had the Parnell letters
in mind when he wrote to the archbishop;
he must have been thinking of other
charges, but be could not say what those
charges were.
Sir Charles Russell then read the post
script to the letter as follows: Il need
hardly say that did | consider the parties
really guilty | should not dream that your
grace would partake in an effort to shield
them. My only wish is to impress upon
your grace that the evidence is apparently
convincing and probably sufficient to Sc
cure conviction by an English jury"
Piggott reiterated that the Parnell let
tiers were not in his mind when he wrote
the postscript. He added that he never
thought the letters in themselves consti-
tuted serious charge. He asked for the
archbishop's reply, which Sir Charles Rus
sell produced. Piggott, after inspecting
the archbishop's letter, said he believed
that he never received it. The commission
then adjourned.
LONDON. Feb. 22.-The News under
stauds that in the witness box Piggott,
when asked TO write the words hesitaucy
and likelihood, spelled them 'hesitency'
and ''likelehood.n Both misspellings oc-
Cured in the alleged Parnell letter.

MONEY FOR EIPPOLYTE
The Haytien Revolutionist Duplicating
the Country's Currency

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-Several weeks ago
the Haytien consulate received a letter
from d well known bank note company,
declining to make certain batch of Hay
ten stock and paper currency. Minister
Preston thought it rather queer that the
company should decline to do work he had
never asked them to do, and detectives
were sent to investigate. The detec-
tives say they have discovered a
scheme with millions in it-for Hippolyte.
Two agents of Hippolyte in New York,
they say, ordered nearly 100000 in
bank notes OF various denominations, to
be an exact copy of Haytien bank notes,
asserting that the money was TO be made
genuine as soon as it reached Hayti. Ac-
cordng to Minister Preston, two large
way to Gen. Hippolyte They were
shipped on the steamer Geo. W. Clyde,
which sailed last Saturday. The minister
described the boxes of greenbacks as being
marked photographs" An examination
of the Clyde's manifest developed the fact
that two boxes of Autographs were among
the articles the Clyde took 70 Cape Hay
tien. There was also 1000 in Mexican
silver dollars.
1t was said that these bills were sent by
a firm doing business in William street.
At the Office of the firm it was said: 'We
are merchants and not politicians. We
have nothing to do with the north or
the south, except as merchants"
Minister Preston, when seen afterward,
said: Its no use for them to deny that
they have sent new bank notes to Hippo
lyte, for know it to be SO myself. The
money is base limitation of the genuine
currency. | suppose Hippolyte Will pay
his army off with this stamped paper-for
it's nothing else"
A representative of the Cincinnati Bank
Note company said that they had been APP
preached by certain persons on the ques-
ton Of making money for Hayti several
weeks ago, but owing to the underlined
state of the Haytien treasury, north or
SOUTH the company declined to make the
bank notes. 1t is susdected that the bal
ance of the 81, 000, 900 in paper money is on
the Conserva and Carondeiet.

By the Governor, NATHAN O. MURPHY,
 Secretary of Arizona,

SENATOR SHERMAN expressed him. self on the silver question the other day as follows I have just returned from an interview with the Presi dent, in which the silver question was discussed at considerable lengh, I am not at liberty, of course, to repeat the details of the discussion, but think it pretty well settled that the next congress will be compelled to legislate further in the interest of silver l am not prepared to state what will be the full nature of the legislation. It is an important one in which politicts does not enter, or at least should not enter. As it Is a matter of finance in the interests of all classes of people, rich and
 
 poor, my opinion Is that whatever is done, nothing can be accomplished under two years at least, because the legislation is such as might prove ruinous to the country. While l have deoeided views as to what should be done, donot at this time care to elaborate them, as the mat ter is sure to come up in congress, and I may desire to change my mind after full discussion of the question.
