SURPRISE
The Irish Leader to Make
 Startling Exposures.
TO AFFECT THE LONDON TIMES
They Will be More Damaging Than the
 Confession of Pigott.

He Pictures His Prison Life to the Par
 nell Commission and Tells How He Was
 Yoked to a Cart Like . Beast of Burden.
 Experiences During the Irish Famine
 of AS.
 LONDON, Oct. 30.-In his speech be- fore the Parnell Special Commission Michael Davitt is daily scoring points in favor of the Parnellites and adding to his already we'll established reputation as an eloquent and forcible orator. As his speech progresses public interest in the proceedings, which at the resump- ton of the sittings Of the Commission withdrawal of MT. Parnen from the case, awakens and the court room is again assuming the appearance 1t pre- sented when the Nationalist defend ants were engaged in their daily occupa- tion of knocking down the foundation of forgery, perjury and fraud, upon which the case of the "Times" was based.
 The Irish Famine and His Prison Life.
 MT. Davitt held his audience almost brea thless while he recited his expert ences during the Irish famine in 1S4S, and moistened the eyes of many of his hearers when he pictured his prison life, an episode of which was his being yoked to cart like a beast of burden, because with his single arm he was un- able to perform the tasks imposed upon him as man with two arms could have done.
 Startling Disclosures Expected.
 It is quite evident, from intimations made by MT. Davitt, from time to time, in the course of his address, that he is on the eve of making some startling disclosures, and this assumption is for tified by an article in the "Freeman's Journal" which asserts that the father of the Land League is rapidly drawing his adversaries to the verge of the prec- ipice, over which they will inevitably be hurled. These disclosures are said to affect the ''Times'' to greater de- gree than did even the confession of the infamous Pigott, and to be of a charac- ter rendering it almost impossible for the cut and dried commission to sustain single allegation made by that paper.

 NEW YoRK, Oct. 30. - The worlds championship was decided on the Polo grounds when tho New Works won their sixth game from the Brooklyns. It was an excellent exhibition of ball playing, and the Giants had to play hard to win, which they did, and we'll earned their victory. They outplayed the Brook lyns at every point of the game, and managed to make their hits just at the right time. Terry did exceedingly we'll, but O'Day carried of the pitoh- Ing honors.
 Brooklyn was first at the bat, and opened the game in lively manner. O'Brien was given his baso on balls. and went to second on Hub Collins bunt. Then Tom Burns found O'Day for tre- mendous hit to the top of center field bank, on which O'Brien and Collins scored, and the batter reached second. From this point the Brooklyns made but two hits during the entire game, and were unable to increase their score.
 The New Works earned run in the first inning on Tiernan's two-bagger and Wards three-baser. In the sixth they tied the score on Wards hit and steal, Connors out, Ward getting third on the play and Richardson's sacrifice. In the eighth O'Day got his base on balls, but was forced out at second by Slattery's hit to Terry. Tiernan fouled to Pink ney, Slattery stole second and scored on wild pitch.
 The grooms were quickly retired in the ninth, and the great prize for which the Giants have been struggling since last April was theirs. The faithful oranl1s oheered them heartily, and the sea. of 1889 came to an end. The Scofy:
