The committee on roa Is and bridges.

moving the old suspension bridge to

moving the old bridge would be in the
neighbOrh0Od of $4,000. while a new

more serviceable than a suspension
bridge. could be erected for $1,000.
Upon the recommendation of the COM

He Advocates Buying Out the Landlords
in Old Erin.

LONDON, May 2d.-The cross-examination OF
Parnell was continued to-day. Parnen ad-
mltted that Condon was connected with the
Manchester murders. He was Chairman OF the
Reception Committee at Washington. The
witness had always repudiated the dynamite
and physical force party in America and de
nounced them in the House of Commons. He
was not aware that the Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette reported verbatim a speech he made al
Cincinnati in which he is said TO have referred
TO the severance OF the last link between Great
Britain and Ireland, or that its report was like
that IN the IrtSh World. Parnell admitted that
he had not found fault with the past action o.
the Inyincibies, but he quoted from his speeche.
AND his manifesto of 1881 denounciug outrae {,
and unconstitutional action by Irishmen.
Parnell said he advocated the buying out O
landlords in Ireland and making tenants own
ers of the land.
On cross-examipation Parnell proceeded
through mass of detail, and it was aimed L
eonnect him with the Fenians, and also to show
that he must have known of the plots to commit
murder. Nothing, however, was ELECTED from
the witness 10 show he was in any way con.
nected with the FeDainS, or that he had any
knowledge of the murderous consplracies The
Attorney General remarked that old heads
could not be put on young shoulders On
again being pressed by counsel as to whether he
had ever denounced these oNtrages Parnell
read extracts from speeches delivered by him in
1879, such as:
Let us remain within the law and Constitu-
tion."
II hope the people will not be tempted to
initiate the violence and Illegal attitude of the
Government"
The League is perfectly peaceable and con-
stitutional, and there is nothing behind it,"
Parnell further said that in 1880 he denounced
the shooting of agents as unnecessary and pre-
Judicial where there was a suitable league or
ganlZation, but admitted that such denuncia-
tion was insufficient 10 sop such outrsges He
denied he was responsible for the violence of
articles which appeared in the United Ireland
and said that y Brien had supreme control OF
that paper.

level with it OF accumulated water and noxious
gases which had rendered them unworkable.

RAILWAY MAIL SERVICE,
Responding Clerks Who Were Dis
charged on Political Grounds.

WAsHINGT ON, May 2d.-General Superintend-
ent Bell, of the Railway Mail Service, in reply
TO question as to the number of changes which
were made in the service between March 4th
and May LIST, when the civil service law was
extended to it, said he did not know the exact
number, but that he had made change where
ever he could improve the service He added
" In making appointments in the Railway Mail
Service, since l became U. S. General Superin-
tendent the course has been, as far as possible
to weed out incompetents and probatiuners and
to bring back those whose records indicated
proficiency. and who were removed mainly
because they were Republicans. think ninety
per cent OF the appointments that have been
made comprise the class mentioned. Of the re-
mainder. the aim has been to select from those
who have been recommended, such as are most
likely to become capable clerks after serving
the usual probationary term. After carefully
reviewing the force, in connection with the re-
vision, feel confident the service has, because
of the change, been materially strengthened.
and while should have been glad to have lad
more time in which to bring back more of the
old hieh-class men. I have no doubt but that
which has been done in the past few weeks
will speedily add to the efficiency OF the
