PARIS. Jan. 19.-John Dillon, T. P Gill,
and Mr.. and Mrs. William O'Brieu arrived
in this city to-day. In an interview, Mr..
Dillon said he had made inquiries in
regard to the matter, and had found th at
there was absolutely no foundation for
the statement which recently appeared in
the Insuppressible to the effect that
Mr.. Harrington has held back the
funds which had been collected in
America for the relief OF the evicted tenants
in ireland for the political advantage of Mr..
Parnell. On the contrary, Mr.. Dillon con-
| tinued. Messrs. Webb, Kenny and Harring-
ton were using the funds strictly in accord
ance with the agreement arrived at in
America. Not a farthing had been used tor
any purpose connected with the present dis.
pute over the Irish leadership.
Il am happy to state" said Mr.. Dillon,
that both sides, including Mr.. Parnell
have agreed to an arrangement whereby the
persons evicted from their homes will be
protected, quite apart from the dispute in
regard to the leadership"
The Favored Nation Clause.
PARIs-In the Chamber of Deputies to-
day M. Bourgeois proposed the renunciaton
of all existing treaties of commerce, includ-
ing those containing the favored nation
| clause. He extoIled the system of rec1proc-
lty as the best means OF protection against
! protection.
NJ. Ribot. Minister of Foreign Affairs, in
responding to NJ. Bourgeois remarks, said
that the moment had not vet arrived to ex-
anime the general economic policy of the
country. France did not wish to isolate
herself in the midst of Eu.ope
The"iavored nation clause applied only to
Russia. Austria and Denmark and countries
supplying France with raw materials duty
tree or cereals taxed as soon as they entered
the country. Nothing was to be gained BY
abolishing the Favored nation clause.
The treaties with China and Mexico were of
advantage to France and their remuneration
would result in great loss to French trade.
The Chamber, ut the conclusion of M.
Ribot's remarks, bv q vote Of 458 to IL
passed to the order of the day, thus approx
ing his course.
Koch's Experiments With Lymph.
PARIs-Further details have been learned
of Prof Koch's experiment with his lymph.
They show that many thousands of guinea
pigs which had been inoculated have been
cremated after the work of vivisecton had
been completed. The bodies of the animals
are burned in huge furnace situated in
the Hygienic Institute. The researches
which are being carried on with the new
remedy are attended with considerable
danger. 1t is reported that five scientists
died after testing the glanders bacillus, and
that three medical men who were working
on the cholera mIcrobe subsequently suf-

to the unceasing precautions which they
take while pursuing their experiments.
