PARNELL ON TaE STUMP.
He Makes Speeches at Drogheda and
NaVar,

DUBLIN, March 1.-Replying to deputa-
ton at Drogheda to-day Mr.. Parnell said be
was rejoiced at the proof of support every
where accorded him. This. he said. showed
his opponents that lrishmen would not
allow them to degrade the platform by per.
mitting them to strike below the belt under
a pretext Of dealing with questions of public
moment. If the differences between the
two factions was not fought out upon
dignified lines, the blame would not fall
uponlhis supporters. Tney would strain
every point TO accord their opponents & fair
hearing, but If their opponents outraged
the seAse of the people by going outside the
limits of decency, the people would justly
resent their conduct.
THE MEN OF MEATH
On arriving at Navan, Mr.. Parnell ad-
dressed a meeting in the Square. He said
that perhaps some day in the distant future
somebody would arise, privileged TO address
them, not as men of Royal Meath. but as
men of republican Meath. [Cheers. It was
Meath which first gave him the opportunity,
sixteen years ago, to serve Ireland in
public life. [Cheers.l At what moment
during that period had he ever been un-
faithful to the principles then pledged?
[Cries Of "Never."l They had won a
hundred skirmishes together, and now he
wanted to be allowed to win the battle with
them. Already they had put a snaffis in
the mouth of the landlord. By-and-by, with a
parliament in College Green, they would fit
these same mouths with a bit and bride,

Letters Diverted from Their Course

Letters Diverted from Their Course
and Opened in Canada.
TORONTO, ONT, March 1.-Speaking at
mass meeting of liberals in East York
last night, Sir Richard Cartwright said that
the government appeared to have adopted
the policy of letter-stealing, and went on to
make the following charge: "The other
day / noticed letter which our
secretary had addressed to a gentle-
man in Hastings, but which apparently had
never reached that gentleman. The ad-
dress was plain, but the letter had gone to
the dead letter Office, been opened there and
sent, not to the secretary, as l think
the law requires, but to the govern
ment candidate for West Hast
ings, who forthwith published it. l
advised the secretary to set the law in
motion to ascertain how it comes to pass in
a country like this, where we might hope
that at least the privacy of the mails would
be respected; that letters addressed to a
certain place go to the dead letter Office,
and thence to the political opponent of the
man to whom they are addressed.
LETTER WRITING DANGEROUS.
81 have come to consider it a dangerous
thing, indeed, for me to send letters, as my
writing is tolerably we'll known TO gentle
men on the other side Of politics. More
than one case has come to my knowl-
edge where, by accident, l suppose, my
letters did not get to the dead letter Office
but the seals were broken as if somebody or
another had been making himself ac-
quainted with their contents" Referring
to Mr. Van Horne's manifesto, he alluded to
Mr.. Van Horne as a dictator>in-chief of her
majesty's government in Canada. He con-
demned the manifesto as a mistake.

The Slightest Republican Chicanery

WASHINGTON, March Johnny Daven-
port is still here, and now that the demo-
Gratis have lost two votes by death he is
actually talking of resumption of the force
bill. He is encouraged in this by the utter
ances of the force bill senator's. He also
gets comfort from au alleged remark of
Senator Cameron, that if the democrats of
the Senate jeopardize the subsidy bill by
delay that he (Cameronl will vote with the
radical republicans TO attempt the passage
OF the force bill. This is but part
Of the outgivings of the sub
sidy men tonight. They do not
hesitate to say that the Senate must choose
between an extra session and the subsidy
bill. Senator German says there is time
enough to pass the appropriation bills II the
Senate attends strictly to that business, but
that republican chicanery of any sort
would precipitate an extra session.

BERLIN, March 1.-The action of the
government in regard to passports in
Alsace-Lorraine is i'll received by some con-
servatives as well as by the freissinnige
party.
The Retchsbote hopes that the passport
measure is due to other reasons than the
conduct Of the French chauvinists.
The Kreuz ZeitWng speculates upon the
probability of war with France, and after
upbraiding the Germans for being of a too
patient and sluggish temperament, and
expressing doubts of the friendship of
Italy and England, it says that Germany,
having failed to secure the love of Europe,
ought to endeavor to obtain respect.
The Journal de st. Petersburg hopes that
efforts will be made on both sides to remove
the shadow on the relations between France
and Germany.

CUBA AT CHICAGO.
The Island to Make a Fine Exhibit and
Anxious for Trade.

WASHINGTON, March L.-Mr, Curtis of
the state department, who has charge Of the
Latin-Amerioan department Of the Chicago
exposition, has just returned from q
visit to the West Indiesl in the interest of
the exposition.
In his report, which was forwarded to the
committee on foreign exhibits yesterday,
Mr.. Curtis announces the appointment by
the captain general of Cuba Of q board OF
thirty commissioners to represent the island
at the exposition, and TO secure a collec-
tion illustrating It's resources, prod
ucts ands industries for exhibition
there. This board, he says, includes
the most prominent, enterprising and influ-
bearing the rank Of excellentissimo
Among the others are the mayor of Havana,
rector Of the university and the editors of
the principal Cuban newspapers.
ANXIOUS TO TRADE WITH US
The desire of the people of Cuba, the re-
port says. especially the sugar and tobacco
planters and manufacturers, to promote
their commercial relations with the United
States, amounts to anxiety, and several
commercial organizations of the island sent
to Madrid committee Of prominent citi-
Zens to impress upon the ministry and cortes
the absolute necessity of negotiating a
liberal reciprocity treaty with the United
States
SAN DOMINGO WANTS RECIPROCITY.
'I may also mention in this connection a
matter of news learned at Havana, which
is that the commercial Organizations of the
republic OF San Domingo have raised
purse to pay the salary
and expenses Of an envoy to
be sent by the government to Washington
for the purpose of negotiating reciprocity
treaty with the United States. A smilar
spirit pervades the entire group of West
Indian colonies, andswill. am sure, stimu-
late their representation at the exposi-
tiou."
While in Havana Mr.. Curtis secured for
the historical section of the exposition
plaster casts of the tomb of Columbus and
the famous statue of Columbus in chains.

WASHINGTON, March i,-Speaker Reed
hes some friends left on the democratic
aide, but none Of them, not oven Mr.. Nc
C!smmy of North Carolina, has yet had the
hardihood to prepare even very mesger
resolution Of thanks to the speaker for his
faithful and importisl administration Of
his Office. Speaker Reed, 1t is understood,
does not want perfunctory
resolution Of this sort from his
democratic friends, rightly believing that
the other democrats would make their pro-
test the more emphatic because the propo-
sition came from their side of the House.
He will depend upon his republican COL
leagues to tender the vote Of thanks which
has heretofore come from the opposition,
discounting philosophically in advance the
inevitable democratic dissent.

given rise to rumor that
he will call an extra session of

pointments, but Senator Edmunds said yes
terday that an extra session would not be
necessary for this purpose. Neither would
1t be necessary for the President to delay his
action until next December, as the Senate
would undoubtedly confirm any appoint
ments made during the recess.
