and fear as to the result, rodo to tho

the struggle and it was impossible to

PARNELL ExONERATED.
Xhe PaxaeI Commission Makes Its Repoft>
What the Conclusions Arc.

Xhe ParaeM Commission Makes Its Repoft@
What the Conclusions Are.
LONDON, Fen. 1.-THE report Of the
Parneu Commission, laid before Parlia-
ment yesterday, is long and tedious
document taking up the case OF each
Irish member of Parliament against
whom charges were brought and enter
ing minutely into the details of the tes-
timony. The upshot of the report, or
what may be termed Judgment Of the
court, is as follows:
1t is proved that Messrs. Davitt,
Harris, Dillon, w. E. O'Brien, w. Red
mond, O'Connor. Condor and O'Kelly
conspired to bring about the absolute
separation of Ireland from Great Britain;
the fac simile Parnell letter was for
gerry: the defendants were sincere in
denouncing the Phoenix park murders;
the defendants did incite intimida-
ton and invited the assistance OF
Ford. Mr.. Parnell is exonerated
from the charge of assisting Byrne to
escape. It is not true that Mr.. Parnell
was intimate with leading Invincibles.
Mr.. Davitt was closely associated with
the party Of violence IN America. The
report is more moderate and impartial
than was expected and consequently
gives satisfaction to nobody except the
judges, who are relieved to get 1t OF
their hands
The report further says: SIT is not
proved that the defendants subscribed
toward the assistance of or intimately
lie IN
paid money to procure their escape from
Justice. 1t is not proved that the de-
PENDANTS were aware that the Clan-na-
Gael controlled the American League or
collected money for the Parliamentary
fund. It is not proved that at the
time of the Kilmainham negotiations
Mr.. Parnell was aware that Sheridan
and Boynton were organizing their out
RACES. The Invincibles were not a
branch of the Land League. The
League neither organized nor paid Irwin
cibles. None of the defendants directly
or Indirectly had knowledge of the
Phoenix Park conspiracy. Piggott was
utterly unworthy Of credit All letters
he produced as eliminating were for
geries."
On the other hand the judges say the
league never gave the authorities any
assistance in detecting crime. There
are no details of the expenditure OF
100000 of the league funds. There is
no valid excuse for the non-production
of its books. The Commission has not
received from Mr.. Parnell or the league
the assistance it expected. The report
is signed by all Judges.

a wRoNoEo WOMAN.

The Bride Of Dick HAYES, the Birminghan
Brute. Expresses Her Contempt Of the
Convicted Murderer In Burning Words.
B1RM1N6HAN, Ala, Feb. 12.-Since
Dick Halves was taken from the side
Of his bride of six hours to answer the
charge of numbering his first wife and
his two children, scores of reporters and
correspondents have tried in vain to
interview the young lady he married.
Miss May Storey, that was her maiden
name, is now living quietly at the home
of her parents in Columbus, Miss. There
your correspondent secured an inter
view, in which she tells the whole story
of how she once loved Dick Halves, and
his crime. When she first commenced
to talk about the affair she said:
81 try to forget; people say I bear up
bravely, but 1 had to do it. If had
given way to the terrible grief that was
breaking my heart it would have killed
my old father. You know he opposed
the marriage and when the blow came
it almost killed him. For his sake
have tried to bear it bravely. The sub
ject is never mentioned at home now.
You have seen father? His gray hairs;
that awful trouble caused it. Do love
that man? No, no; God forbid! 1 hate
him. He is not the man l loved. I
loved man who looked like Mr.. Halves,
but 1 never loved monster, a fiend in
human shape"
Then she described at length how
ho1 I'd hat hn
widower, with only one child, and how
he deceived even her father by exhibit
ing bogus decree of divorce. She told
of the wedding and how happy she was
when they started on their bridal tour.
When HAYES was arrested on their ar
rival in Birmingham he sent her to =
hotel in charge of friend, and it was
two hours before she was told of the
charge against him. Speaking of this
she said:
81 could not believe it. 1t seemed too
horrible. 1 thought I was dreaming.
That night did not close my eyes in
sleep. My brain was in whirl. r. did
not know what to believe or what to do.
AS long as 1 remained in birmingham
seemed to be in some sort of horrible
trance. My father had heard of it all.
In fact he had heard about it before
knew the truth, and he telegraphed
me to come home. I reached
home at last. It seemed an age
since left it and found relief in tears.
Oh, it was terrible! terrible! read the
papers, read all about the finding Of
those bodies in the lake, the terrible
riot at the Jail, every thing; read all the
evidence against Mr.. Halves, my hus-
band. Then my dream was over. The
man l loved was dead and in his place 1
saw monster in human shape. All the
love in my heart was dead; my conf
dence in men was destroyed forever. No
man can be trusted. AS long as live
shall never place any confidence in man
again. The very moment L. fully re-
allied the horror of his crime, then I
loved him no more. My heart was dead.
The character of the man loved was so
different from that of this man Halves I
can never think of them as one and the
same"

The Rush Into the Sioux Lands-Many
Claimants to Each Lot.
PIERRE, S. D.. Feb. 13.-Tuesday af-
ternoon Colonel Lassen, in command of
the military at Fort Pierre, received an
official telegram from the War Depart
ment officially announcing the Presi-
dents proclamation opening the Sioux
reservation and that the military forces
should be withdrawn. Information to
this effect was sent to the daily papers
of this city, and Immediately extra
copies were put out announcing the fact
Vehicles Of all kinds were Immediately
called out and packed with men of all
classes and there was an exciting race
for the reservation. Every body who
could get transportation joined the ex-
cited crowd, and those who could not
ride walked. In thirty minutes the town
was practically deserted; stores closed
and business almost suspended.
At Fort Pierre the situation is serious
The bulk of the crowd first struck that
village and Immediately commenced to
claim town lots, there being as many a.
ten claimants to one lot
AT CHAMBERLAIN.
CHAMBERLAIN, s. D., Feb. 13.-The
situation on the town site west of this
city became more complicated than ever
last night when large party Of persons
from along the Milwaukee road arrived
with force of surveyors and began at
once running lines regardless of the
rights Of prior settlers, Indian lands OF
any thing else. A meeting Was held by
the several claimants for the purpose OF
adjusting the differences, but . com.
promise could not be made and the fight
for the possession from this time on
promises to be most bitter. Many set
tiers are putting up buildings on lands
reserved for the Indians in severalty.
but they are being elected
