LONDON, August 2l.-Parnell's letter
admitting tho inaccuracy Of the amount
attributed to Mr.. Dlllon's drawing from
the evicted tenants fund has brought
to pause the wretched controversy in
the Irish commoners' ranks, which real
ly centers In the desire OF each side TO
obtain control Of the Paris fund.
Mr.. Parnell, brought TO bay,
Is melting out the same treatment
to Messrs. Dillon and 0'Brien, which he
has already meted out TO the Healyites
and Liberal leaders, but he is fighting
an impossible battle. Nobody doubts
the scrupulous integrity of MIR. Morley,
and on the question OF veracity, Mr..
Parnell, with his record OF the widest
statements, stands no chance OF
credence. However, he still knows the
weak points OF his enemies armor, and
compels them to vince and take refuge
in antiquities. This unedifying spec
tacle which occurring as IL does at the
deadest part OF the political season, can
have but one reSult-the destruction OF
Ireland'S chances Of home rule.
The Tory press and party are delight
ed that Mr.. Parnell has succeeded In
drawing from Messrs. Gladstone and
Morley an admission OF anxiety To
reach Mr.. Parnel through secret chan
nelS.
The clerlcals are incensed at Messrs
O'Brien and Dillon for adhering to the
plan OF campaign in defiance OF Rome.

organization and thoir losses TO the
national federation has frightened
them.
The hideous scene enacted at the Con-
way hanging mas caused an outcry
through the country which Is not un-
likely TO prove the beginning OF the end
of capital punishment, and Is certain In
any case TO strengthen the agitation Tor
its aboltou. The exclusion OF reporters
from executions has long been sore
subject, and as the officials have fully
exercised this power, in many cases an
uneasy suspicion exists that other SINH

much too great, but his protest was Of

be was carousing on the previous night,
and at present IL Is impossible To say
where the blame lies. The public will
insist upon rigid inquiry.

far as the Queen was able TO ensure II
nothing was lacking TO honor and graft
fy France. The Queen sacrificed por-
tion of her Highland holiday purposely
to witness the review. The only pos
sible cause for dissatisfaction that the
French government could entertain was
the absence Of Lord Salisbury, which
deprives the function OF Foreign Office
approval. The Radicals declare that
Lord Salisbury declined thus openly 10
display friendship which might be In
terpreted as a disregard OF the drei-

Little is hoped for from China's naval
