PLOT OF PARNELL'S FOES.
SIR RUSSELL SAYS THE ONLY AIM
NOW WIS TO UNMASK IT.

The Publication by the Times of the
Forged Letters Characterized as
Serious Calumny-Lord Londonder-
rvs Tenure as Viceroy- o 'Brien's
Removal to Galway Jail Causes Ex-
element.
LONDON, April 11.-Sir Charles Russell
continued his speech to-day. He declared
that the publication in the Times Of the
forged letters and the articles on Parnell-
ism and crime was a serious calumny. He
characterized the manner adopted by the
prosecution in abandoning the charges
based on the forged letters, and the tone of
the Times apology as most monstrous. Mr..
Parnells only care now was, Sir Charles
said, to unmasx what he believed to be a
foul plot against him.
WHERE THE MONEY CAME FROM.
"Where did the money come from that

not venture upon an enterprise involving
the expenditure of thousands of pounds as
O private individual 1t was an association
representing the landed interests of Ireland
that supplied the funds that found n ready
tool in Houston, who had pursued course
such as would have been followed by man
who was lending himself to deliberate for
geries. Houston had destroyed all docu-
ments that might incriminate him, and all
letters which it would be dangerous to pro-
duce, and had resorted to every device in
order to render it impossible to trace the
course of his relations with Pigott. Sir
Charles detailed the history of the forged
letters, and promised to produce evidence
that would afford the fullest vindicau on
for Mr. Parnell and his associates, and
show conclusively that they were free from
the remotest connection with crime"
LoNDoNDERRY's TENURE.
In the House of Commons this afternoon,
Mr.. Balfour said that Lord Londonderry

his resignation, but the government could
not assume that he would continue in
office.

lowing members: De Marciers Tracieux

Pennsylvania -. Use and Abuse
Where the Point Turns.
PHILADELPHIA, April 11.-In the Cdtho-
tic Standard of this week appears state
ment regarding the position of Archbishop
Ryan and his recent utterances upon the
prohibition amendment. 1t is as follows;
His Grace, the Most Reverend Archbishop
of Philadelphia, has received a number Of
letters asking for information on the sub
ject of prohibition, and particularly as to
whether his letter published in this city, is
to be regarded as an authoritative official
utterance, or simply as an expression of his
grace's individual opinion.
FURNISHES STATEMENT.
His grace finding it inconvenient to reply
to all these letters separately. has requested
us to publish the following statement,
which he hopes will be accepted as a gen.
eral answer to the various inquiries that
have been made: "In reply to various let

phia begs to state that what he wrote on
the constitution was simply his personal
conviction, although, of course, it is we'll

tions it is difficult for Catholic bishop to
separate his personality from his sacred Of

LIBERTY OF CATHOLICS.
The liberty of Catholics to vote for the
measure will depend on the principles on
which they found their convictions. Some
of the principles urged in the literature of
prohibition such as the one that use of
spirituous liquors, even as a beverage, is
intrinsically wrong, and should be always
prohibited, cannot be held by Catholics. 1t
is only abuse, not use, that can be con-
demned If use and abuse be inseparable

GAS he cannot think that this is true of
the whole state of Pennsylvania. and as we
have strong restrictive laws and can enact
still stricter ones, he is unable to see the need
of a constitutional amendment on the sub

court has decided case of unusual interest
to grain dealers and dealers in op-
tions. 1t was a suit brought by a
Chicago broker against a Nebraska
speculator ON note given to cover
margins. The court held that as there
was no intention of the parties to pur-
chase and receive grain, and no inten-
tion Of the sellers to deliver the same, no
recovery could be had on the contract In
considering such a contract, although the
outward forms Of law may have been com
piled with, yet where the defense is that the
contract is a wagering one and not intended
for actual sale and delivery of the property,
it is the duty of the courts to go behind the
