London, April 12.-Upon the opening Of the ses-
sion of the Parnell Commission this morning Sir
Charles Russell resumed and finished his speech In
defence OF the Parneles. Hc undertook to show
fhas tho money Mr. Parnell gave Byrne, which the
prosecution alleged was given for the purpose Of en-.
aoling Byrne to escapeS was meant by Mr. Parnell
to be used for the ordinary purposes of the National
League. and that Mr.. Parnen did not know that
Byrno was In peril of arrest
The court, Sir Charles said was trying the history
Of the Irish revolution He asird that fair and gen-
erous consideration be given It II prosperity was
returning TO Ireland, thanks be to God But affairs
were unhealthy in that country whore the people
considered the imprisoned members Of the House of
Commons heroes and martyrs. Sir Charles declared
that he did not speak merely the advocate of the
accused members OF the House Of Commons but for
the land of his birth, and he believed in the best
interests Of England The inquiry, which was IN
tended to be a curse, had been a blessing 1t had
been designed for the purpose Of running man,
but had proved the means of his vindicauon.
In his peroraton, which lasted half an hour, Sir,
Charles Russell said In opening our case said that
we represented the accused. The positions are now
reversed. The accused sit there Cpoiniing with in
dimant scorn at Mr.. Walter and Mr.. Macdonald, Of
The Times. This inquiry will not only vindcate IN
dividrals, but It will remove all msconcepton of tho
character action and motives of the Irish people and
their leaders. It will set earnest, honest minds to
thinking, and will hasten true union and effect true
reconciliation 1t will dispe the weighty cloud that
has darkened the history Of noble and dmmed
the glory of mighty Empire"

"PArENr APPLIED FOR" NOT PROTECTION.

"PATENT APPLIED FOB" NOT PROTBOIION.
Detroit, Mich, April 12.-An important decision
was rendered the United States District Court yes
terday by Judge Brown. Asa W. Straight, an In
vontor of burner for gasoline stove, upon which he
had applied for a patent, brought suit for an In
junction against Clay ton and Lambert, who had I'M
proved Straghps burner, claiming that the device
patent applied for' on his burner protected him.
Judge Brown held that the device is no protection
and the court cannot grant injunction, as 1t can
not assume that the patent will be granted by the
Commissioner He further says that patentees have
no rights at common law and the statute makes tho
life OF o patSnt seventeen years. To grant such an
Injunction would be TO give the patent moro than It's
months after the application was fled. The bill was
therefore dismissed for want Of Jurisdiction.

A CANADIAN RECIPROCITY RESOLUTION:

Ottawa, April 12.-The senate finished the debate
at 80 O'Clock this morning, Senator Works rcso-
luton to the effect that IL would be unjust to the
United Kingdom to levy higher duties on goods I'M
ported thence than on goods Of the same character
imported from any foreign country, and Mr. Abooas
amendment was adopted instead by vote Of 30 TO
IL. The amendment Is TO the effect that 1t would
not be in the interest Of Canada to establish an
entire reciprocity Of trade with any foreign nation
upon any condition that would restrict, with regard
to Others entire freedom Of action by this country
protecting its own industries, In dealing with Its
own sources Of revenue, and In regulating ts own
foreign trade. that would mako necessary the
adoption of duties discriminating against imports from
other nations, and more especially tho mother country,
while at the same time any measure for securing
reciprocity Of trade with any foreign country in such
of the products OF the trade Of the country as may
be freely ntercbanged with advantage 10 both would
receive the favorable consideration OF the House.
