nell Comm, ssion Proceedings.
LONDON, Jan. 24-At the hearing before
the ParnelI commission to-day, Capt Stack
ascribsd tho outrages in Ireland TO the
league and to the infamed language Of the
Irish members of the House OF Commons,
priests and other leaders. The league prac-
tically assumed the government of the
country and encouraged outrages. There
was no abnormal distress in his district
He thought the outrages would not have
occurred had they not been instigated by
the league. On cross-examlnah0n he said
that as o rule the Irish leaders did not de-
nounce outrages, but there might have been
exceptions.
MISS PARNELL'E PAPERS.
Inspector Rogers deposed that he searched
the house Of Mary O'Co nor, secretary of
the Ladies Land League, at Athlone, and
found several letters from Miss Anna
Parnell with reference to the formation of a
ladies branch for the relief of evicted ten
ants. Miss O'Connor's accounts disclosed
expenditures for the defense of prisoners
charged with outrages.
Sir Henry James here announced that he
intended to read extracts from speeches
produced in court
Sir Charles Russell said that he wanted
all of Mr.. Parnell's speeches read and not
extracts.
Justice Hannen, seeing that Sir James
had a pile of speeches before him foot
high, entreated the counsel to consider how
TO shorten the reading of them. 1t would
take many days to read them ALL he said,
| and what would be the advantage if Sir
James proceeded to read extracts from a
speech by Mr.. Bggar in October, 1880.
Mr. Biggar, interrupting, said he would
| not have extracts; he was anxious to hear
the whole speech, which was well worth
reading. [Laughter.1
Sir Charles Russell emphasized Mr.. Big
gar'S DESIRE and Sir Henry James was com
PEELED to accede. After readi for some
time, his voice failed, and he was courte-
ousy relieved by Mr.. Lockwood of the
Parnellite counsel
A BRANCH NAMED AFTER GLADSTONE.
Mr. Gladstone, who is now at Naples, in
reply to a correspondent who had called his
tention to the fact that branch of the
Irish National League had been named after
him writes: 81 have no connection with
the league nor have any knowledge what
soever upon tine subject. l suppose my
| name was chosen owing to my efforts to
| free the Irish from oppressive laws, such
as are absolutely certain to produce OBJ
| jectionable acts on the part of some Irish
men, the fewCess of which l only wonder
at and feel thankful for"
FRESH DOCUMENTS FROM AMERICA

vative) asserts that the London Times has
