THE PARNELL COMMISSION.
Archbishop Walsh Gets HIS Back
UP ON the League QuesIiOm.

LONDON, May 9.-Archbishop Walsh
to-day continued his testimony before the
Parnell Commission. He testified that
the facts that came to his knowledge
proved that the League tended to dimin-
Ish crime. There has been gradual
decadence in secret societies in Ireland
since 1866.
He was aware that the League advised
tenants not to enter the Land Court after
the passage of the act establishing that
court in 1881.
Subsequent events justified that adj
vice. He only knew of one instance
where the League had been indiscreet.
This indiscretion consisted in the passage
of resolution by branch of the League
to publish in its district a list of persons
not members OF the League.
He protested against this action, and
publication OF the list was thereupon
abandoned. As the League spread the
secret societies vanished. The people
learned to prefer open parliamentary
action and to dislike secrecy. Through
out his diocese cases OF boycotting had
been few, although the League was
strong in that district. The only sense
in which boycotting ought to be toler-
ated came under the name of exclusive
uealluB. Anything ike lulllnludtiOu -
reprehensible.
The members of the League held that
boycotting would keep the country free
from outrages. Witness did not approve
of refusing to sell the necessaries of life
20 man under boycott. He understood
the plan of campaign to be purely re-
volutionary combination, thaG did not inn
ply boycotting.
Atkinson, counsel for the Times, here
quoted from pastoral issue by the Arch
bishop in 1882, denouncing the move
ment not to pay debts as forcible re-
sistance to law.
Archbishop Walsh said the pastoral
had been issued in consequence Of the
increase in the number Of secret socie-
ties, owing to disorganization of the
League under imprisonment of its lead
ers, and while people were driven to
despair by evictions.

Now that number of capitalists are
taking steps TO erect steel works capable
of casting one hundred-ton guns, it is
felt that such an enterprise on this coast
would be at great disadvantage with At.
lantic works unless foreign steel could be
received in cur ports free of duty. In
order to have this, discriminating free
list On this article in favor Of this
coast would have to pass Con-
gress. There is no question of the justice
of such a measure, but we would
be met at the East with the combined
opposition Of all the sentimental and in
terested protectionists of the country.
We now pay duty of 81 ton on pig
iron, and 2114 to 3 cents per pound on
steel ingots. The Atlantic steel works,
having the Pennsylvania and Alabama
mine, to draw upon, could underbid us
in proposals for the manufacture Of large
guns for the Government, if we had to
pay transportation rates on steel and iron
from the East, or the duty on foreign
material. Then comes another dit
fculty, and that is that one
hundred ton guns cannot be car.
ried on the railways. Their weight
would break down bridges and damage
The roads. Therefore, the only means of
getting them here would be by ship via
Cape Horn, a very expensive and slow
process, and one which would be i'm
practicable in the case of war with a
foreign naval power. It is absolutely
necessary that these great guns should
be manufactured here, if we expect to
have them when they are wanted. If,
in considering. bids, the Government
would give California the advantage, as
against Eastern bidders, of the
cost of transportation, that would
help us out. But there is no
certainty that that would be done
by successive administrations, unless
the right were secured by an act of Con-
gress. The difficulty would be solved by
the discovery on this coast of extensive
beds of iron ore containing a sufficient
proportion of metallic iron to render it
available for steel works. We hear every
now and again of the discovery of iron
deposits on this coast, but, 30 far, our roll
ing mills and foundries seem 10 have
depended for their raw material upon
the importation of scraps and pig iron.

Mr.. NOLAN, member of the Coun.
Gil, was interviewed yesterday upon the
question Ct depositing the city funds in
the responsible bank making the high
est bid. When asked if he thought the
Council would advertise again for bids,
he said:
81 do. 1 think it would be unwise for
the city to allow its funds to remain in a
bank where no interest is paid for, by
the time the bonds are sold, we will have
upwards of $4,000, 900 on deposit, which,
at the rate of, say, 8 per cent. on daily
balances, will amount to the neat
little sum of 100000 FER annum, and we
cannot afford to lose that"

Bunch of KEYS.

The Los Angeles Theater was crowded
last night, when the initial performance
OF Hoyt's Bunch Of Keys was given.
From the first to the last the audience
seemed to be delighted with the humor-
GUS nonsense given on the stage. The
"Razzle-Dazzle" song and several others
were encored, The mechanical effects
were good and aided the actors in pro.
voking laughter. As whole the piece
is put on the stage better than when it
was here before. The company will be
here the rest of the week.

Plant out Prune Trees.

California prunes are asserting their
superiority in the Eastern markets.
The foreign importation to meet the de-
mand is 100000 pounds per year.
Our State can, with proper energy, alone
meet this demand. The industry is in
its infancy, and but two or three counties
have, so far, entered into it to any great
extent. The shipments that have been
made to Eastern cities have been well
received, and the fruit pronounced
superior to the imported article. The
foreign merchants have done everything
in their power to discredit the California
prune. Eighteen months ago a consign-
ment, grown in Alameda, was pro.
nounced at Chicago 30 obviously superior
to the European prunes that it COM
manded cent pound more. The world
was then told that this was an accident
ally choice lot, which could not be dupli-
Gated. When other consignments fol-
lowed equal in quality, the foreign fruit
dealers said that our prunes would
not keep, that on long voyage
they would ferment. A shipment
was made to New York via Panama
and arrived in perfect order. Discom-
hted again, the foreigners have now fallen
back on their original argument; they
say that our prunes are certainly better
than the European prunes, but there are
not enough of them. "The Californian
is frst-class in quality" said dealer,
patronizingly, 'and no doubt the guam
tity will come in due season." So it
will, and sooner than our New York
friends fancy. Wherever the prune has
been grown in this county it has been a
success, both in the quantity of the bear
ing and in the quality OF the fruit. The
fact that Eastern dealers are DESTROYS of
receiving all the California prunes they
can get, will stimulate the industry all
over the State. We shall have no trouble
in producing enough to supplant the 1r-
eign importation and TO keep pace with
the increased consumption. Los Angeles
fruit growers would do well to be pre-
pared for the prune boom that is newt
able. 1t will pay them to plant out tieas
at once, and secure share in this great
industry, which has future not sur
passed by any other of our horticultural

So FAR, all the reports received from
the trial trip of the cruiser Charleston,
have been favorable. She seems to have
worked splendidly on the down trip, and
her sea qualities were severely tested in
crossing the bar at the mouth of the Col
den Gate. She behaved finely in head
sea, with heavy combers breaking clear
over her. To-day the great test will prob
ably take place over the four-mile course
in Santa Barbara channel. Her machin-
cry is to be tested to 1000 horse power for
four continuous hours. That would give
her speed of over nineteen knots an hour.
This is very severe test, and if she
comes out of it triumphantly at the first
trial, she will have done something that
has never before been accomplished by
war vessel OF her class. Every Cali
fornian is proud of the way she has come
out so far, and they will feel justly elated
if she goes successfully through the
crucial test yet to come off.

The Samoan ImhrOgliO.

Germany has an earnest desiic 10 get the
upper-hand in Samoa, but il is hardly cred
ible that the recent ruthless attacks made
by some OF the German marines upon the
natives, Americans and English in Samoa
were authorized either directly or indirect
ly, by the home government. These were,
80 far az the dispatches show, simply the
work of an uncontrolled mob spirit set
ablaze by the resistance of the natives to
the intrigues intended 10 deprive them Of
their independence. Vet the destruction of
the property Of American citizens and the
tearing down of the American flags by the
soldiers of a foreign power are acts that
cannot be ignored by our government. 1t is
momcntous business. No less 50 ia the re-
ported attack upon English officers. The
German government will probably apollo
gize and offer indemnity. Prince Bismarck
mas not lost his sagacity, and he therefore
knows that Germany cannot afford 10 make
enemies Of the United States and England
by arrogance in this Samoan affair. The
German empire is not so powerful that 1t
does not need to preserve friendly relations
with these two governments.
As TO the effect Of this rash outbreak so
far as Germany's enterprises in the Pacific
are concerned, il cannot but lie damaging.
Naturally both the United States ami Great
Britain will now pursue firmer and more
courageous policy. They viii have donO
with trifling. The two tions have acted
together for their common Interests. They
have not sought TO get exclusive control OF
the Samoan islands, but simply to uphold
their rights in that re ion, and they are
now likely to insist without reserve or tim
idity that Germany shall not have control.
Our government seeks no quarrel with Ger
many or any other power. But we must
protect our interests in the Pacific. And
our duty is made clear not only b. CONNER
cial interesta but also by treaty stipulations.
We cannot hcnorably stand aside and let
Samoa become the prey of Bismarck.

The Railroad CrematOry.

Several persons, after escaping any In
jury from the shock of the trains coming to
gether at Tallmadge, near Akron, on the
New York Pennsylvania and Ohio railway
recently, were caught by the flames which
sprung fierce and hungry from the deadly
car stove and burned until death relieved
their suffering. One little girl travelling
all alone from the west TO the east was
caught underneath one of the seats and held
fast until tho flames licked up her young
life. Steam heating from the locomotive
boiler is not practical on this road The
managers are no doubt afraid that IN emer-
gency might some day arise In which the
heating boiler would not work The train
might get stuck in snow bank, for instance,
or the engineer might be seized with thirst
and drink up an the water in the tender and
so leave the passengers to SILVER and shake.
1t 10 better, you see, to burn up a few hui
man beings once in while than to let pas
seniser run any risk OF ever having his ears
or fingers ache with the cold. This reason
for not putting in steam heating apparatus
may appear trifing TO the general reader; 1t
is powerful 10 those managers who do not
want to go TO the expense of sending their
