Special Cable Dispatch to TIE EVENING STAR.
LONDON, Feb. 26.-There is wild excitement
in the Parneu commission court and on
the streets over Pigott's confession and disap-
pearance. Special editions of the papers are
selling like wild fire. The spectators in the
Parnell court, including Mr.. Gladstone. are
eagerly discussing it, and the Irish members
can scarcely restrain their iubilstion. Sir
Charles Russell is terribly chagrined, as
Pigott's boiling spikes his guns. He was pre-
pared to prove elaborate forgeries of accom-
mediation bills BY Pigott dun ing the years 1878
to 1881, and also extensive dealing in obscene
literature by him with the money obtained
from the Times. A warrant is now in the
hands of the Scotland yard officials for his ar
rest. Attorney-General Webster will try TO
wriggle out Of the libel part Of the case. Rus
sell insists on the whole matter being probed
to the bottom, alleging foul conspiracy be-
hind Houston and Pigott Houston's absence
from court to-day caused an additional sensa-
tlon. The president of the court has directed
that all Of Pigott's papers left at the hotel
be seized.

Boulanger, it says, will not try to con spire against the republic simply because he has no need to do so. The electors, it be- lieves, voted chiefly not against the republic, but against an incapable and impotent cham Der of deputies It says that the system ot election known as the scrutin d. arrondise ment ought to be immediately re-established the budget for 1889 adopted and Parliament adjourn until October, when the general election will be held.
