THE LIFE OF PARNELL.
T. P. O'CONNOR'S BIOGRAPHY OF
THE DEAD STATESMAN,
Brighton Set Down as His Birthplace, Not
Avondale, Ireland, as Generally Sup
possd-How He Imbibed the Principles
for Which He Contended So Earnestly.

LONDON, Oct. 13.--T. P. O'Connor's
Life of Parnell has appeared. 1t is a
book of 225 pages. All previous BIZ
ographies accord to Avondale the honor
of ParnelPs place OF birth. O'Connor
says he heard Parnell state that this was
incorrect, and that he was born at
Brighton. Among his earliest influences
were stories he heard from servants and
from his mother, hostile to the existing
relations of England and Ireland.
These made Parnell the man he be-
came. O'Connor traces Parnells
life through, and speaking of
his early parliamentary career, says in
the present moments, when the pas
sionate friends OF Parnell denounce his
opponents as murderers, it is well to
recall the fact that Parnell undoubtedly
helped to break poor Isaac Butts's heart
and hasten his end. The hand that
struck him down after the divorce dis
closures was his own. Strangely enough
the idea that he would one day ruin
himself was familiar to his colleagues
for many years, owing to his hermit
life and instances of alteration OF mind.
OConnor never regarded Parnell as
highly intellectual, and says he was es-
sentially narrow, and to this narrowness
OConnor attributes the final mistake of
his life. When Mccarthy, before the
last momentous meeting in the commit
tee room, told Parnell that when Glad
stone had said his reply was to poohoo
the whole business as a mere non-con-
formist howl, which would die out if
defied, one reason for his attitude was
his latent dislike for Englishmen.

LONDON, Oct. 13.-A great storm to-
day flooded the lowlands of Northern
Wales, causing great damage. The wind
was particularly savage at Tanworth. It
overturned a number of tents on the
race track at Fazeley, and severely in
jured many persons. The damage at
watering places along the eastern coast
of the English channel will be enor-
nous. A Norwegian bark went ashore
off the coast of Garsetshire, and much
difficulty was experienced in rescuing
her crew. A French brig was stranded
near Falmouth, where the force of the
wind shattered her. No details have
been learned. A Norwegian vessel,
coal laden, was totally wrecked at Kear-
ley, Ireland. Several collisions occur
red on the Thames, and. several vessels
were driven ashore. At Birr, Ireland,
the gale demolished circus tent which
was crowded with children, and many
were injured in the stampede that fol-
lowed.
The area of the storm extends over
the whole OF England, Ireland and the
southern portions of Scotland. A large
number OF coasters have been lost. The
valleys OF the Severn and Dee are
flooded. At Brighton the pier and
esplanade were swept by tremendous
seas. A hugh structure which was be-
ing prepared for Buffalo Bills Wild
West show, was utterly destroyed. At
Swansea a number OF buildings were
unroofed, and at York the roof OF cir
Gus was blown off, killing boy in the
street.
At Dublin the magnificent mourning
draperies displayed on the occasion OF
Parnells funeral have been entirely
blown away. and the same is true of the
floral decorations adorning the grave at
Glasneven.
At Cardiff and vicinity eleven coasting
vessels have been driven ashore, but the
crews were fortunately saved. The
White Star lines ship Majestic was un-
able. to debark the mails and Irish
bound passengers at Queenstown, be-
cause of the tremendous sea, and was
compelled to proceed to Liverpool direct.

A GERMAN SCANDAL.
Berlin Society Shocked by the Exposure
of Herr Ianche's DOings.


of Herr Manche's DOings.
BERLIN, Oct. 13.-A case something
like the recent French decorations scan
dal has just been concluded here. A
pamphlet recently appeared charging
Herr Manche, ,ex-chief of the civil cabinet
of Emperor William l, with accepting
bribes for his services in preferring
titles. Soon after, manufacturer
named Thomas, sued Manche for mall
version of funds, deposing that he had
paid Manche 800 marks to obtain for
him the title of commissioner
OF commerce, and afterward confded to
Manche 10000 marks to distribute in
charities. In defense Manche denies re-
ceiving the first gift, and says he re-
turned 10000 marks he had not paid
over to charities. There was other evil
dence, however, going to show that
Manche was in the habit of taking
money payments for his services of this
kind, and shat Police Captain Grief and
Countess Hacke were his accomplices.
Manche has been sentenced to nine
months imprisonment. The develop
ments have created sensation in Berlin

BALTIMORE, Oct. 13.-The widow OF
the late Albert K. Ordway, who COM
mitted suicide here last March, was taken
to Bay View asylum today. She has re-
Gently asserted that her husband was
the companion Of William Tascott, the
man who is supposed to have murdered
Millionaire Smell in Chicago few years
ago. Ordway was son of well-known
clothier, and she was married to him in
1881. Her husband, she says, soon took
to drink and began to asso-
ciate with disreputable people. One
night he stood before a mirror
with mask on his face and declared
he was going to have money from old
man Smell or kill the -. She
pleaded with him to renounce his inten-
ton, but he persisted, and left the house
in hurry. Next morning he returned
with bloody handkerchief and without
shoes. When questioned by her he said
he had loaned his shoes to Tascott, who
had been shot, and was lying in the rear
of a saloon on West Madison street.
One of the most important statements
in the woman's story is that she knows
Tascott is dead. She says she knows he
was strangled to death, and his body
made away by his pals. In that con-
nection, she mentioned the names of
Funkhouser, Marston and Reynolds.
Subsequent to the murder of Smell, she
says, her husband was continually
nervous, and always seemed anxious to
leave the city, although he was in busi
ness with his father. After great deal
of persuasion, she agreed to accompany
him to Baltimore. After they arriyed
here, she made up her mind to expose
the crime, but he induced her not to do
so. Finally, as the result of drink, he
suicided,

The Russian Foreign Minister Has an
Interview With King Humbert.
ROME, Oct. 13.-DeGiers, Russian min
lister of foreign affairs, with his family,
is now travelling in this country, and ar
rived at Milan this morning. The Ital-
ian premier and minister of agriculture
called upon DeGiers and had confer
ence with him. 1t is understood there
is no special motive for his visit other
than that attributed to the czar's desire
to show he is determined to maintain
the peace of Europe if it is possible to
do so. Italian statesmen are highly
pleased with the attitude the czar has
assumed in this matter, as they con-
slider it certain to strengthen the general
peace policy OF the nations united under
the agreement known as the dreibund.
M. DeGiers's expected audience with
King Humbert was given today at the
Royal Villa at Monha, the interview
lasting half an hour, and the Marquis
Di Rudini being present. The Italian
press halls the meeting of King Hum
bert and the Russian statesman as a
guarantee that there is no danger Of a
conflict between the dreibund and Rus
sia and France.
