of the package is mysterious, and the

it is that 1t must have been too near the

THE PRESIDENT IN A QUANDRAY


The WIel and La Abra Claims Taking up His
Attention
WASHINGTON, D. G. - Among the
papers President Harrison has before
him, and upon which he mag take action
while at Deer Park, Is a statement from
Secretary Blaine, respecting the noted
Wicl and La Abta CLAIMS, upon which the
government of Mexico has paIG several
hundred thousand dollars under the
Judgment Of the commission before
whom the claims were tried.
After Mexico had paid q por-
ton of the sam awarded further
payne mt was stopped in the time of Mr..
Cleveland's administration and the mat
ter was taken up By congress, upon the
plea that the testimony before the claims
commission was perjrred and unreliable,
and the claims themselves IN just and IN
four ded. The long investigation by the
senate committee on foreign relations,
resulting in report just before the 50th
congress adjourned and sustaining
the plea and recommending the passage
of the bill, 20 secure retrial. The facts
IN the case have been submitted to Presi-
dent Harrison by S cre;ary Blaine who
awaits instructions as to the disposition
of the money paid oy the government of
Mexico. Claimants have made a demand
tor It under the judgment awarded by the
commission. The amount involved is
nearly 100000.

THE pARNELL COMMISSION.

President Harrison Quoted IN Praise Of
Editor william O'Brien.
LONDON, May 31.-At the meeting Of
the Parnell commission the first witness
was Mr.. Arthur O'Connor, member Of
parliament. He testified that while he
was in indianapolis last year Gen. Har-
rison, now president of the United
States, said that every honest man and
lover of liberty would rather share the
company of Mr.. William O'Brien in
Tullamore Jail than that of the viceroy
in Dublin Castle. Mr.. O'Connor said
that when he took the Office in the
league he found many books fragumen-
tary and in arrears. 1t was impossible
to do anything with them. He did not
know whether the books which the gov
eminent seized during the administra-
ton of Chief Secretary Forster had been
destroyed.
Presiding Judge Hammer ordered that
inquiries be made about these books.
Mr.. O'Connor repealed as calumny
the suggestion that the tenants had
understood his advice to them to boy
colt land grabbers as a hint to murder
or use violence upon them. He ad-
mitted saying that 1t was not unnatural
that a man who saw his family flung
into the roadside should shoot the evic-
tor.
On the application ofscounsel for The
Times the case has been postponed until
next November.
