Labouchere Defends Sullivan.

LONDON, June 2o.-Labouchere, writing
in Truth about the charges against Alex
ander Sullivan, says that everything that
The Times (which has an agent and banking
account in Chicago) can do to prejudice the
public against Sullivan will be effectually
done: First, because Sullivan advised Pat
rick Egan respecting information sent to
England regarding the Parnell forseries;
second, because he selected Father Dorney to
convey across the ocean the documents which
smashed The Times case. Labouchere says
the assertion that Sullivan misapplied funds
intrusted to him is shown 10 be absolutely
false. He thinks it probable that these
charges have been brought against Sullivan
