LONDON. Oct 29-Mr. Michael Davitt re-
sumed his address before the Parnell commits
sion today. He said the Chicago convention
disproved the charge that the Ciau-na-Gael was
actively allied with the national league. The
authors of the articles in the Times invented
and garbled quotations from American
papers. Some OF the express. .ons IN

SURPRISING VERDICT.
The failure to convict Farmer Gallagher at
Marlborough yesterday for completely in the
killing OF Police Inspector Martin is equally as
surprising as the outcome of tho trial of the
peasant Coll last week. 1t turns out, however,
that there are some men among the opponents
OF home rule in Ireland who cannot conscien-
tousiy bring themselves to the point of con-
signing a fellow countryman to imprisonment
for nearly quarter of a century for the crime
OF entertaining political opinions at variance
with their own. The authorities intend to
place him on trial again.

denies that Prince Bismarck suggested that q
French protectorate should be established over
Tunis. 1t says that NJ Waddington, Lord
Salisbury and the late earl of Beaconsfield con-
sidered the Tunlsian question at the Berlin
congress in 1875. France then strongly felt

or sparing the feelings of Italy and waited three
years without changing the situation.
