| LONDON, July 3.-Davitt continued his
! testimony before the Parnell commission
to-day. He stated that he would not OBJ
iect to joining any movement to secure the
independence of ireland, if such movement
were backed by force strong enough to
justify hope of success.
Davitt said that he did not approve of the
Clerkenwell explosion. He regretted the
attack upon the prison van in which a
brave policeman was killed, but applauded
the men who made the attack for trying to
save their friends. While in prison he
concluded that the movements by the
leased he held conference with the leader
of the Irish Republican brotherhood in
Paris regarding the advisability of an open
movement. Mott Harris, one of those
with whom he conferred, had given per
mission for his name to be diYulged,
but at present the witness could
not divulge the names of the others
of the Irish Republican brotherhood
leaders without their permission Chief
Justice Hammer said that Acknowledgement
Webster was entitled to press the question
as to what others were present, but could
not wait until the end of the examination
to do so. The witness further said that he
failed to win the Irish Republican brother
hood leaders to approve of the adoption of
an open movement with the exception Of
Harris. He intended to make the land
question stepping stone to the indepen-
dendence Of Ireland, treating the landlords
as an English garrison. The Leagues

become the programme of the Tory gov

Success Of the Sioux Commission.

LOWER BRULE AGENCY, Oak, July g.
In the mornings council, Iron Nation said
he was the head chief and leader OF the
tribe, and that he should sign the bill and
that his people would follow, but that he
would like the commissioners to read the bill
again so that all could understand it. This
was done. General Crook said that those
who were willing to sign had better sign
this afternoon and that tomorrow was the
Fourth of July, and the fact that the In
dams at Lower Brule had signed will be
telegraphed all over the country. All their
friends would hear the news and be
pleased After q few questions had been
asked regarding the bill, Iron Nation arose
and addressing General Crook said: Three
Stars, l an going to sign because you tell
me this is a good bill, but before l
do so. want you to promise to be good
friends to the Indians on this river. We
want to remain on White river and wish
you to tell the Great Father that Lefthand
Thunder endeavored to check the move
ment of the bill, but was unsuccessful
Iron Nation signed first and was followed
in the order of their rank by the other
chiefs. The conversion of Iron Nation,
Little Pheasant, Dead Band and sundry
leaders Of last years opposition was tri-
umph hardly ever equalled in the record of
Indian negotiations, and for which the com
mission deserve great credit.
Yesterday afternoon, General Cook, at
the request of the chiefs, had private talk
with them at this conference about the
programme which has been successfully
carried out today. The Indians are signing
as rapidly as possible.

Peter Jackson, the colored pugilist, was
standing in saloon on the south side talk
ing with Billy Bradburn, the stock yards
pugilist of this city, when a discussion
arose as to the merits of jackson. Brad

while Fitzpatrick championed him The
discussion grew warm and personal and
Fitzpatrick finally landed his right on

ADJUSTMENTS.
MoDJEsKA AS BEATRICE.

Modieska and her company produced
Shakespeare's charming play Much Ado
About Nothing at the Grand last evening.
The warm weather, the lake, and the undue
length of the engagement were again infu-
entail in reducing the size of the house far
below what the talent of the actress and
the strength OF her support should have
caused it to be; what the house lacked in
attendance, Ehowever, it made up in
enthusiasm.
Beatrice is one of Shakespere's most in
teresting and most successful comedy
roles, and found an ideal portrayal in the
acting of Madame Modjeska. The actress
appears to be in perfect health a fact that
lends force to her acting and charm to her
person. Benedick was in the hands of Mr..
Lane, who was more happy in the scenes
preceding love than in the subsequent
parts of the comedy. Mr.. Hanley as the
Prince displayed his usual talent in acting
and his customary taste in dress
and makeup. Mr.. Stafford as Claudia was
strongly reminiscent of Lawrence Barrett
in voice and gesture. Messrs. Adins and
Fawcett as Leonato and Dogberry, res
pectively, were in a happy mood Miss Tyn-
dale was loveable hero. Other parts were
satisfactorily rendered.
''Mary Stuart" will be produced this
afternoon and 'The Twelfth Night this
evening. These will be the last perform
ances of this gifted actress and her accom-
plished troupe, and well merit the patron
age of our theatre going public who are
fond of a strong actress with a strong com
pany in strong plays.

The Atoms Latest Cut.

DENVER, July Be. S. Lomax, general
passenger agent of the Union Pacific at
Omaha this morning notified the Union
Pacific and Denver & Rio Grande Denver
offices of the notification he had received
from the Chicago g. Alton road relative to
rate of S26 from Denver. The Chicago &
Alton road agrees to accept 1856 as its
share of all receipts on tickets sold over
their line Mr.. Lomax declares that the
Union Pacific will meet the cut and that
it will go into effect Monday, July s. and he
urges similar rate from Colorado Springs
and Pueblo on all tickets sold via the Rock
Island and Alton roads. Chief Clerk Wad-
leigh, of the Rio Grande, stated to re-
porter that the situation as get has not
beent discussed but that all eastern roads
would doubtless make SIG rate to CHI
cago. The Atoms latest action makes the
fare from Chicago to Denver and vice
versa the same, $40 or reduction of S4.65.

The Norfolk & western Disaster.

LYSCHBURG, Va, July 3.-The scene of
the terrible disaster near Thaxton, on the
Norfolk & Western railroad is beyond
description. Hardly enough is left of the
train of eight cars that took leap to the
bottom of the awful pit to make one car.
AS soon as the boiler of the engine exploded,
the entire mass of debris took fire. Those
who went down who were not killed out
right were burned to death. A portion of
eight bodies has been taken out. 1t is
believed that fully fifteen others were
entirely consumed by fire. The survivors
of the wreck say that cries for help could
be heard from all portions of the wreck,
and those unhurt were powerless to render
any assistance. The women who managed
to escape lay about on the damp ground,
suffering from their injuries until day
break, and many walked long dis

A Fire Damp Explosion in France.

PARIS, July 3.-An explosion of fire
damp occurred in coal pit at Stetttenue
to-day. Three hundred miners are en-
tOmbed. A number of bodies have been
taken out of the pit.
Two pits We're effected by the explosion
One of these is inundated and the other on
fire. Sixteen bodies have been recovered
The ten miners who were taken out alive
are so badly injured that they will prob
ably die. Sixty horses employed in the
mine were burned to death. The news of
the disaster spread quickly, and the mouths
of the shafts were soon surrounded by
crowds of relatives and friends of the i'm
prisOned miners. Many heartrending
scenes were witnessed as the bodies We're
brought to the surface. There is no hope
of recovering any of the men now in the
pits, all of whom have already probably
persisted. a later dispatch says that 200
miners were killed.

HALLIDAYsBURG, Pa, July 3.-One of
the heaviest thunderstorms that has &C.
Cured here in years passed over this city
last night, causing great flood. In three
hours time three inches fell, and by mid
night the Juniata river stood fifteen
feet above low water mark, and only two
feet lower than on May 81. The lower
streets of the town were covered with
from three to five feet of water, and many
people had to leave their houses. Stores,
mills and houses on the river bank were all
flooded. Truck gardens and farms in the
surrounding country were badly damaged.
Several new county bridges and much
fencing were carried away. The mills of
the Portage Iron works at Duncanville
were flooded and the fires put out. The
water was higher at Duncanville than the
flood on May 81 last, and river five feet
deep rushed through and destroyed the
main street of the town. Several houses
were struck by lightnidg and the inmates
severely injured.

A Flood at TitusYiIIe. Pa.

TTrUsvILLE, Penn, July "a terrific
thunder storm passed over this city last
evening followed by two cloud bursts that
caused furious overflow of Church run,
which winds through this city. From an
insignificant stream the run turned into a
furious torrent in few minutes, coursing
through the streets, and filling the cellars,
and rising in some cases to the first stories
of houses. Fully three miles of streets are
flooded. Over two feet of water is on the
sidewalks. Families along the line of the
flood became frantic, and number of RATS
were built on which women and children
had taken places of safety. The force of
the water ripped up hundreds of feet of
sewers. The roads in the surrounding
country are badly washed out. At East
Titusville number of residences were
badly damaged. Several narrow escapes
from drowning occurred in this city.
The water poured down the side hills, to
the northwest of the city where the cloud
burst occurred, in a perfect avalanche,
sweeping all before it. What were fertile
gardens are now stony waste and a number
of valuable farms are ruined.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, July 3.-Hassan Ghouly
Kahl, the Persian minister. is dissatisfied
with America and will leave Washington
for Europe the latter part of next week.
He is going to London to pay his respects
to the Shah. He cannot tell yet whether
he will return to the United States or not.
He is out of cOnceit with.the Americans. or
more properly with American newspapers.
The press in this country, he says, has too
much license. During the past year he has
selected through New York agency all
the newspaper clippings obtainable about
the Shah, the tenor OF these articles, he
says, is brutally unjust to his majesty, to
whom they have been forwarded and who
is greatly annoyed at them. The minister
did not say so in words, but he strongly
intimated that as result of these publica-
tions the Persian potentate would with
draw his diplomatic representative to the
United States.

ACROSS THE CONTINENT.
How Two Lads from San Francisco Beat Their
Way to Washington.

Way to Washington.
| Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner DISPATCH 7
WASHINGTON, July 3.-The two young
sters from San Francisco who beat their
way on the railway to this point called at
the Examiner Office yesterday to look over
the files and read up on the coast news
since tkeir departure. Their names are
Samuel p. Dick and George Clark. The
former is sixteen and the latter about if
teen years of age. Within week prior to
their long journey east they had been en-
ployed III the press room of the Examiner
They left San Francisco on the morning of
May 5, arriving in this city Monday Their
combined capital was 80 cents, This, they
say, was given to them by 'Dccn Madison
the foreman of the Examiner mail depart
ment They expended the money on the
ferry boat going over to Oakland; the
journey across the country was made by
easy stages. Their first jump was from
Oakland to Fresno, a distance of 206 miles
Their stop at this point was of their own
volition. They were hungry and tired
from riding in a cramped position.
Here, as at other places where they sub
sequently laid over, they BACKED boots and
thus secured enough for their physical
wants. AS rule, they rode on passenger
trains; sometimes it was advisable to take
an emigrant train. and on two occasions
they so far humbled their pride as to de-
scend to a common every day freight train.
They found no difficulty in securing free
transportation; their usual plan was to
station themselves on the platform of the
baggage or express ears. Here they were
practically safe from observation When
a station was reached they either climbed
to the ground or mounted to the TOD of the
car. On the emigrant trains, which they
only took at night they found refuge from
the CONDUCTOR eye by secreting til smselves
under the hunks, where they would ride
until morning. Occasionally they varied
the monotony of the trip by stealing a ride
on the rear platform OF vestibule
car. Dick showed his knowledge of
he escaped detection in that position from
the negro porter by calculating, THE niger
porters! Why, they never risk getting
their faces full of dust by bothering about
the rear platform. You couldn't get one of
'em out there with derrick unless he knew
there was four bit piece awaiting him.
At Salida, Colo, the boys made quite a
little sum of money backing boots, the
most of which they sent back to their
parents. They say they have lost their re
spect for San Francisco since leaving on
their trrvels; they find it small and insig-
nificant as compared with Chicago, and it
is not nearly so attractive as Washington.
For all that, however, they intend to return
after a visit to some of the larger eastern
cities. They employed their time yester-
day mainly in sight seeing about the capitol
and the national museum. They were
down on newspaper row last night, and the
correspondents, after hearing their story,
raised quite little sum of money for them.

dolph, of New York, introduced the sub
iect of the national lesson plan. He said
thst 10, 100000 people studied lessons.
At the evening session the French and
Swizz delegates stated that international
lessons were not suited to France and
Switzerland, owing to the length of the
cycle and the difficulty of many of the
subjects
