PARNELL COURT IN LAUGHTER.
InfOrmer Farragher Breaks Down
Badly on Cross. .ExamiuatiAn

Badly on Cross
Special Cable Dispatch to The EVENING STAR
LONDON, Jan. 23.-Tne Parnellite counsel has
been given to understand that the question of
the letters will be approached next week, but
after SO many intimations more or less precise
of this kind from the Times solicitors, it is not
believed that absolute reliance can be placed
on this. Meanwhile the evidence of the In
former Farragher yesterday visibly increased
the languid interest in the commission pro-
ceedings. The mans story was first listened
to with absorbed attention, but he so COM
pletely broke down on cross-examination vir-
tually declining in fact TO be cross-examined at
all, that the incident ended in general laugh
ter, which the judge at length had to protest
against To-day Timothy Healy writes in con-
tradiction of Farragher's evidence that he
never was a member of the executive of the
land league and never attended any of its
meetings in Dublin. Parnelrs Scotch action
will come on again next Tuesday in the Scotch
court.

although they have been there only few times.
The court was informed of the fact, and will
make an investigation. The law has not been
carefully examined. but il is believed that evi-
dence supporting the charge that they have
been holding political positions TO which they
were appointed after becoming members of the
grand jury will invalidate all indictments that
have been returned. Judge Woods did not re-
ceive information regarding the matter until
late in the afternoon. 1t is understood that he

RIVAL LABOR ORGANIZATIONS.
War Threatened Between knights Of
Labor and Miners Union Men.

SEATTLE, w. T.. Jan. 2S.-Knights Of Labor
have ordered general lockout at the mines
of the Oregon improvement company to force
the company TO disarm the miners union. The
knights charge the company with furnishing
rifles TO the miners union. The knights are
also arming themselves Bloodshed is ex-
pected at any moment. Sheriff Cochrane has
wired Gov. Semple TO come and investigate.
The Oregon improvement company has force
of railroad detectives and deputy marshals in
readiness. Two of the mines have closed
down. The Post-InteLigenor this morning
published letter from Superintendent Mcneil,
of the Oregon improvement company, making
concessions to the Knights Of Labor, in which
the company reconsiders the original intention
to refuse employment TO the knights The
company will make no further discrimination
This will probably induce the miners to disarm.

Mai. POwelrs Irrigation Scheme.
HE EXPLAINS IT TO THE HOUSE COMMITTEE ON
TERRITORIES.
Director ]. W. Powell, of the geological sur
vey, was before the House committee ON Terri
tories to-day, and explained his proposed plan
for the reclamation of arid lands of the west by
irrigation. The principal part Of his explana-
tion was that bearing on the Jemes river in
New Mexico. 1t was substantially the same az
that related before the committee ON public
lands last week. He illustrated, by means of q
map, the location of the proposed reservoirs,
dams and canal in that region, and said he
thought the reservoirs could be constructed
for s45O, 900. whereby 155,0O0 acres of land
could be reclaimed. The lands were worth
nothing now, but if reclaimed by irrigation
would be worth a minimum price of $50 and
amaximum price Of 500 per acre. Mr.. Powell
said that between ninety and one hundred mil
hon acres Of arid lands in the west could be
reclaimed by irrigation. After the works had
been constructed and were in operation Mr..
Powell estimated that the annual cost TO the
farmer Of irrigating his land would be from e1
to % per acre.
Mr.. Powell was asked concerning the use Of
artesian wells for irrigating purposes, but be
said that they were too expensive for the pur-
pose.
In conclusion he said that there was one
thing that the people of the west wanted, and
that was the selection BY the government Of
lands best adapted to irrigation.

however, and displayed decided weakness,

hour, but although the market at IL O'Clock
was dull and firm, prices we're still generally .

mer the jobbers of this vicinity brought .
number of suits in the district court of this
county against the Rock Island and other roads
for alleged violation Of the railroad law passed
by the last general assembly. The counsel for
the roads at once took the papers from the
local court to the United States circuit court,
alleging that il was the proper court of juris-
diction, chiefly for the reason that the suits
were not criminal, but civil in their nature,
and involved amounts 10 the value Of s5,000
and upward. They were accordingly entered
on file, but the attorney-general at once ap-
peared and moved that they be remanded 10

criminal nature and that the state court there
fore had jurisdiction. Judge Brewer now
