received Catholic mass books containing
Internal machines. The packages were
addressed from TOuion and apparently
contained an oblong box. Thewrapping
paper around the supposed box was
taken off and the package was found
to consist OF q go0d-sized missal or
Roman Catholic mass book. At first
sight it was a neat present TO SEND 10
the wife of the president. Upon more
careful examination it was found that
the leaves of the missal, to outward ap-
pearances, had been stuck together with
varnish or mucilage. This caused
still more careful examination OF the
mysterious missal, and upon being
opened with the greatest care 1t was
found that the interior Of the book had
been cut away in the manner sometimes
adopted by smugglers who desire to send
articles free of duty through the mails.
and who place them in a followed out
book for that purpose. 1t was found
that the interior of the missal contained
powerful illuminate powder. No clue,
according to the police, has been found
to the sender OF this Internal machine,
though the postoffice authorities OF Tou-
Ion, acting in connection with the Par
isian police and with the police OF Tou-
lon, are said to- be on the track OF the
perpetrators or perpetrator of this out

DILLON and O'Brien's reputation OF
Parnell, though foregone conclusion,
has profoundly depressed the Parneli
| ties. Mr.. Parnell hoped until the last
| moment to again entangle them in ma
! neuverS for reunion. Their prompt and
| decisive declarations as soon as outside
| the prison doors, and their refusal to
| listen to any advances from the Par
| nellites fell like n death blow upon the
faction. Parnell telegraphed to his
committees that OBJECTIONS on every side
| did not alter his course a hairs breadth.
| To fill up the gals left in the committee
| by the deserters another directorate is
forming, aspiring to found daily paper
on the Parnell-Pence principle. One
Dublin evening organ remaining faith
full, appeals to the party to rally
rally and not succumb to stage fright
because they lost O'Brien, but now that
the truth is penetrating the stoutest

cause is we'll nigh extinct, and that it

it is thought that Parnell will soon ap-

THE United States commissioners to
Europe for the Chicago exposition, are
In state of high delight with the fiat
tering and enthusiastic reception they
have met with in England. From the
moment of their landing at Southamp-
ton they were the objects of unceasing
solicitude' and courteous attentions OF
all that is best and most distinguished
in the London world. Their visit has
been an occasion for continuous DEM
onstration of good will, kindness and
sympathy toward them and toward the
country and the cause which they rep
resent, which is but all the more marked
by reason of its absolute spontaneity.
From the outset they have been well
coined as. friends and thrice-honored
guests.
The execution of young Boyland and
Dore, the two accomplices Of Mrs. Boy
| land in the Courbevois murder, took
place on the Place de LaRoquette. Dore
walked calmly to the guillotine, but a
desperate struggle took place on the
scaffold. Boyland made no resistance.
Mrs. Boyland has been granted re-
prieve. No sooner had the heads of the
murderers been rolled into the basket
than the crowds surged forward and
with mighty rush broke through the
Gordon of soldiers and policemen and
began disgusting scramble for an OPP
portunity to view the work OF the gull
lotine.

pear to be reliable, give much worse
color to the position Of affairs than has
yet been realized; and if matters are
only half as bad as depicted the conse
quences will not be without important
