snable we entertain no doubt that the knowledge that
such assistance will all Afforded the
effect persons disposed commit
The observation applies to the support Of their fam
HES.
In the absence Of the League accounts, the re-
port declares that it is impossible TO arrive at
figures with any certainty. Mr.. Egans letter TO
Mr.. Parnen i'm October 1852, contained some
items of expenditure in round numbers. The de-
tails were never given. The audit held by Dillon
and Matt Harris added nothing TO the knowledge
of how the money expended. Mr.. Parncll
admitted that there had never been any audit of
the Land League expenditure. Numerous books
and documents which if produced might have
thrown light upon the League proceedings
were not produced The court was unable to OBJ
tain these documents. No valid excuse was ever
given for not producing them. Generally the Com
mission had not received from Mr.. Parnell and
the officers of the Land League the assistance it
was entitled 10 expect in investigating the League
accounts.
The report proceeds TO trace the course of the
Leagues movements in America and its connection
with the Clan-na-Gael.
Touching the contradictory evidence of lie
Caron and Mr.. Parncll over the interview in the
corridor of the House of Commons in 1881, the
balance of probabilities was in favor of the ac-
curacy of lie Caron. 1t was highly probable that
Mr. Parnell would say TO any one whom he re-
garded as a member of the physical force party
in America that an understanding ought 10 De
brought about between that party and Mr.. Par
nell and his supporters in the League. 1t was
also probable that Mr.. Pamell would mention
DcVoy as the person best able 10 arrange such an
understanding; for Dewey had been among the
principal agents through whom the support of the
section of Fcnians had been obtained. The pur-
pose of such an alliance may be disputed bat the
desire of Mr. Parncll and Mr.. Dayitt that the par
ties of physical force and of open political move
mcnt should act in harmony has been proved by
Dcvoy'S letter, corroboratcd by Lc Caron. II was
clear that Le Caron wrote TO him 10 come to Eu-
rope to see Parncll and Egan. Mr.. Parn"ll de-
MES that he ever told lie Caron he had long
ceased to believe in any thing but force OF arms to
redeem Ireland He based his denial upon tie
fact that he never thought so II Is not lmpoSSl-
bic that convcrsng with a supposed rcvolutlonst'
Mr. Parnell expressed himself as to leave tie
impression that he agreed with those who favored
revolution.
Touching the tenth convention Of tho Can
ra-Cacl, at which Sullivan presided, the proceed
inss proved that the dynamite policy had been
detinitoly adopted by the Chicago Convention of
1851, at which T. F. OC,nnor was delegate
from Mr. Parncn The WasL.n4'on Convention
in 1852, the Astor House meeting and the
PHILADELPHIA Convention in 1883 are SlccrsSiycN
quoted as proving the identity and sympathy OF
fine sentiments Of the Irish Lcasuers with the
