Monday afternoon. The FIRE origi.
mated from the prairie fires that have
been raging in that vicinity for two
weeks past, The large mill known as
the Elba Touring mill with capacity
Of fifty barrels per day was totally
destroyed. The hotel was also com.
pletely burned, with all its contents.
The prevailing high winds carried
the flames beyond the control Of the cit
liens. Several business houses were
wiped out. Many residences were also
demolished, Altogether half Of the

LONDON, May S.-Mr. Parnell conclud.
ed his testimony to-day, In the course
Of his examination he said that all the
names the Attorney General had men.
toned as those OF persons who were as
ISOLATED with the meetings were only a
small fraction Of those who had
attended, Men OF prominent po.
sition, and Of undoubted respectability
attended these meetings. In no sense
could the American receptions be inden-
titled with the proceedings Of the physi-
cial force party,
Witness firmly believed that none OF
his colleagues since joining the Irish
Parliament had had anything To do with
the Fenians. Only casually did the
Fenians come within the rules OF the
constitutional movement. Attorney
General Webster, recurring to the ex-
animation Of Mr.. Parnell's private bank
account, wanted to trace q number OF
checks, and q warm discussion ensued,
Sir Charles Russell declaring that such
action would be unfair. Justice Han
men suggested q postponement OF the In
quiry into this matter until further
documents were before the court.
Archbishop Walsh took the stand. He
testified that he came TO the conclusion
before 1870 that there was need OF a de.
fensiye land organization, and was pro-
Ceeding TO give his opinion Of the neces-
sity for such an organization when JUS
tice Hannen interposed, saying the In.
quiry must be limited 10 whether or not
the Land League was necessary.
Attorney General Webster submitted
that matters OF opinion were not admis-
sable.
Mr.. Bigger urged that opinion evi.
dence had been. given over and over
again by "hirelings oi.the 6 Government"
Justice Hannen warned Mr.. Bigger that
he must not make use OF such expires
sions. Mr.. Bigger said that unless such
evidence was admitted the whole in
quiry would end In q farce. The judges
here retired TO consider the matter pri-
vately. On theirreturn Justice Hannen
announced that they had decided that
1t was permissible TO ask any witness,
however distinguished, abstract ques-
tons OF opinion.
The Archbishop, continuing, said that
in the course Of his visits through his
diocese he had abundant means OF
knowing that the League denounced
outrages. Many priests had joined the
League with his full approval. He saw
nothing in the action Of the members OF
the League to forbid the clergy joining
the organization.

A COUNTY SEAT WAR.


Kansas hobs UP with her lsegular Annual
Muddle. =
Topeka, KAN, May s.-Wallace coun-
ty, the last county in this State to be
organized, experienced many vicissi-
tudes prior to February last, when the
Legislature passed an act to enable the
county commissioners to retain the
county seat for five years at the town
designated by the Governor as the tenn
porary county seat, This town was
Sharon Springs. April IS the first cleo
ton under the new organization was
held, and although no question Of county
seat entered into the election, many ciu-
zens, by conniyanCe, voted 10 make
Wallace, a rival town, the permanent
county seat. No votes were cast for any
other town. Ten days later the county
officers, except the commissioners, rnan.
lmously moved with their books and
records TO Wallace, where they still are.
An application for o peremptory writ Of
mandamus has been made In the Su.
preme Court in the name Of the State
on the relation OF the Attorney General
to compel the officers to return 10 Sharon
Springs. Trouble In Wallace county
may be looked for which ever way the
decision goes.
