sir Henry James's Terrible Tale OF
the Irish In America.

LONDON, November 12-Sir Henry James
continued his speech In behalf the London
Times before the Parnell commission today.
He pointed out that abundant evidence had
been produced before the commission to
show the common aims and methods Of the
Irish Republican Brotherhood and Clan-na-
Gael. The skirmishing fund. he declared.
was murder fund behind the pretence Of
constitutional method. The members of the
Parnell party sought to conceal their active
alliance with secret societies, many members
Of which were ready to resort to most infa-
nous outrages.
Referring to the Paruellites' disclaimer
that they did not advocate the use
Of dynamite and the rupture between the
Irish in America and O'Donovan Rosa, Sir
Henry said these actions did not mean the
abandonment of the dynamite policy. Rosa
was rejected because he was garrulous and
indiscreet The policy OF Patrick Ford was
still maintained. That policy implied that
revolutionary partlsans could comnlt mur-
der and inelte the people to any crime, IL
such murder and crime were directed against
England.

And oo.974 Per Cent. of Them Went

Postal Clerks HustIlng to Give Mer-
chants Early Malls.

WASHINGTON, November 12.-The annual
report of ]. Lorie Bell. General Superin-
tendent of the railway mail service for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1889, shows that
during the year service was authorized by
the department upon 150. .3S1.miles of railroad.
During the year. 6.66S miles Of new railroad
service were added. The number Of clerks
employed on the railroad lines was in
creased from 4,641 to 4.947. The number Of
pieces of mail matter handled by the postal
clerks was 7,026, .130. Of this number
80 974 per cent. was correctly distributed.
Mr.. Bell says, "The Importance Of effectipg
an early morning delivery of the mails ar
irving at great commercial centres has be-
come so apparent that much attention has
been given to- the perfectlng and enlarge
ment Of arrangements enabling post offices
to make delivery by the first carriers after
the mails are sent In from the trains. By
extending the system, preparation
has been made possible to send
mail which, by the usual process of assort-
ing at post offices, could not be delivered be-
fore noon. 1t is believed this system can be
much enlarged upon with great advantage
TO the public. 1t is proposed to give .particu-
necessary details that will enable prepara-
tion to be made in railway post offices, so
that mail matter can be instantly turned over
to the carriers"
Mr. Bell calls attention to the arrangement
recently concluded by which, after Noyem-
Der 10Th, 1889, the fast west bound schedule
between New York and other eastern cities
and San Francisco will be reduced from five
days, eight hours, fifteen minutes to four
days, twenty-five hours, forty-ive minutes.
There will be reduction on time in the east
bound transcontinental service of
thirty-one and one-half hours. The
report shows that during the fiscal year 1913
railroad accidents were reported, in which
ten postal clerks were killed, 95 seriously
and 40 slightly injured. An unusual number
of those disabled appear to have been so
badly injured as to render them unfit for fur
ther duty in this service. In this connection
the general superintendent urges that Con-
gress be requested to make some provision
for the families of those killed while in the
performance of their duties. The estimates
for the year ending June 80, 1891, aggregate
So, ,9l9, ,l60, an increase of 5.61 per cent. over
the amount appropriated for the present
year. Mr.. Bell recommends that the office
0fassistant general superintendent be created
with an annual salary of $4,000, and that the
of chief clerk be authorized
at salary of $4,000 per annum.
