PARNELL'S LIBEL SUIT.
Political Questions to be Excluded
from Consid grafton.


LONDON, April 17.-Mr Parnen has en-
gagged Sir Charles Russell, Mr.. Asquith and
Arthur Russell. to conduct the libel suit
brought by him against the Times The
trial of the case will take place in London
in the autumn. The specific charges
against the Times are that it published a
fac SiDlite of a letter dated in April,
1897, which was falsely ascribed to Mr..
Parnell, and that it published other let
ters during the case of O'Donnel We. Wal
ter, among them being the Kilmaiuham
letter beginning: Dear E." which the
Times, subsequent to the trial, called gem
uine. Mr.. Parnel will insist that the case
be confined to the subject of the issue of
forgeries, and that all questions of politi-
cal nature be excluded from consideration.
A PRIEST BRINGS SUIT.
Rev. Father Covenay has commenced
suit against the Standard for saying that
he approved the murder of Police Inspector
Martin at Gweedore, Ireland.
HARRINGTON SPEAKS.
Lord Harrington, in a speech at Sunder-
land tonight, denied the truth of the asser-
ton that the by-eections showed a revul-
sion of popular feeling in favor of Mr..
Gladstone. He claimed that the fact that
the liberal unionist poll had III every instance
been increased when the liberal unionist
candidate had been defeated showed that
the country adhered TO the decision given
at the last general election. He said that
the principles of local government,
as accepted by the peoples Of
England and Scotland, would be
offered to Ireland as soon as the Irish were
ready TO recognize that there was no griev-
ance in possessing an equality in political
status with England, Scotland and Wales.
HE ASSISTED GwEEDoRE'S TENANTS.
LONDONDERRY, April 17.-Prof. Harri-
son has been committed to the Londonderry
Jail for trial at the court of sessions, on
Tuesday next, on the charge of assisting the
besieged tenants at Gweedore.
A BRUTAL SERGEANT.
While Prof Harrison was being conveyed
TO the jail he was heartily cheered by the
populace. The sergeant who was in charge
of the policemen who arrested Prof. Harri-
son ordered his men to "beat tho devil out
Of them" and Fathers Gildea, Boyle,
COMFY bear, O'Brien and O'Shea, and
the reporter of the London
Daily NelOs were roughly handled.
Women were trampled on by the crowd,
and in some instances were dubbed by the
police. The excitement was intense, the
populace being greatly enraged by the &C
tion of the police.

The Fatal Shot Fired because He Had
Struck Her with His Fist
PITTsBURG, Pa, April 17.-At Butler,
Pa, about o'clock this morning, James
Fields was fatally shot by his wife. Mrs.
Fields was reading book and her husband
ordered her to come to bed. She refused to
do so, when he got up and struck her.

him if he hit her again she
would shoot him. He then struck her in
the face, when she fired the revolver, in
ficting fatal wound. Before dying Fields
made a sworn statement generating his
wife, in which he stated that she had shot
him in self-defense She is still at liberty.
The coroner's Jury has rendered verdict

GIT GO THE DEMOCRATS.
All, THE POSTAL BERTHs BEING
FILLED WITH OUR FOES.

A.nointments to Fourth-Class Post
noasterships Now Being Rush ed
through at the Bate of SO Per Day
The Railway Mail Service Also
Being Partisanized.
WASHINGTON, April 17.-From 100 to $50
t,,rtb-class postmasters are now being ap-
-oir+ad daily. OF these about third are
n fill existing vacancies; another one-third
ara Amounted in the places of postmasters
.o,,oved for cause, and the other one-third
.,,ccaed the postmasters who have served
about four years.
THE QUESTION OF RETENTION.
While the fourth-class postmasters are
commissioned to serve during the pleasure
- the Postmaster General, it is believed by
the nostofice department officials that good
sorvice does not demand retention of a
-os,r,sster save in exceptional cases,
beyond the four year period. While the
goo1 of the service, it is said, will be the
2rst consideration in the matter OF changes
in fourth class postoffices, there is reason to
believe that the commissions of the post
matters who have served four years Will be
deemed to have expired.
RAILWAY MAIL SERVICE CHANGES.
Since March 4, about 500 changes have
been made in the personnel of the railway
mail service. First Assistant Postmaster
General Clarkson, in speaking of the mat
ter to-day said that it has been the policy
Of the department. to displace inco npetent
clerks and appoint experienced and thor
oughly efficient men who left the service
during the last administration
where such were available and de-
sirous of re-entering the service. OF
course. be said. men whose faculties have
become impaired or whose thorough fitness
has become questionable will not be rein
stated Therailwav mail service, he con-
tnued, requires men not only of superior
intelligence, hut men whose faculties are in
perfect working order.
HARD TO FIND.
Menwho possess every requirement of
the ser,ic are comparatively few and not
easily secured. but when such men are
found hey should be retained in the ser
vice as long as possible. Efficiency in the
postal sCvice can be obtained only after a
long Struggle, and to remove such men to
make PAGES for political favorites, ire
spective of their fitness, is public wrong
and should not be tolerated by the public.

PITTsBURG, April 17.-There was great
excitement at the Oh Exchange to-day and

BAD FOR OUR NEW NAVY
SIMILAR VESSELS TURN OUT BAD
IN ENGLAND.

They Pitched and Rolled so Much IN
q Moderately Heavy Sea as to Make
Effective Workmanship Impossible
They Also Proved Very Wet Ships
A Failure to Obtain a Twenty-Knot
Speed.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE recent re-
ports of the maneuvers of the British naval
fleet contain some matter not entirely reas-
surfing with respect to some of our new
naval vessels In these maneuvers about
six vessels of the Archer type participated.
The result is a disagreeable surprise to Sir
William Reed, chief naval constructor of
the admiralty.
POOR GUN PLATFORMS.
1t was found that the vessels pitched and
rolled about to such an extent in a moder
ately heavy sea as to render them very
poor gun platforms, to use technical ex-
preston, which means that the guns were
so unstable that they could not be directed
with any approach to accuracy of fire.
They were also very wet ships. These de-
fects are supposed to result from the exces-
sive weight of the ordnance. 1t was recon-
mended that the 6-inch rifles be replaced by
5-inch guns and the anchors moved farther
aft.
THE YORKTOWN LIKE THE ARCHER.
The significance of these reports to the
naval officers here lies 10 the fact that the
new gunboat Yorktown is patterned after
the Archer, and will carry the same caliber
and weight of ordnance. Failure has also
attended the efforts of the British construct
ors to build a twenty-knot ship, of which
the navy department here is attempting to
build two under the direction of an act of
congress.
SHOWING OF THE MEDEA.
The Medea which was built for twenty
knot ship, has never exceeded nineteen
knots, but has developed more than the esti-
mated horsepower an indication to con
structors here that it is not possible to drive
vessel of that length at twenty knots.
The British authorities have taken the same
view, and will build another set of these
boats of greater length. Other vessels of
the same type have failed to develop any
thing like the necessary 5000 horsepower,
so that the promise of success of our boats
is not bright.

NEWSPAPER CORRESPONDENCE.
Train Men to be Encouraged in Get

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE postoff1ce

for its object the encouragement Of the
practice by train men of carrying special
newspaper correspondence and other matter

department that there are very large
number of small towns throughout TIE
country which have meager Geographic
facilities.
BENEFITS OF THE PRACTICE.
In many of these villages the post and
telegraph office close early and to prohibit
the train men from carrying to neighbor
ing town or city small packages containing,
possibly, information of the highest general
Importance, is regarded as unwise and IN
just. The newspapers of the country, it is
maintained, should receive every possible
facility fer obtaining and disseminating
