rBY pUNLAP's CABLE COMPANY

GALWAY, March 15.-Mr. Parnell was
interviewed to-day by a Dunlap reporter.
AT the same time he was shown a cablegram
telling of the enthusiastic reception accorded
his representatives in New York this MORN
Ing. Mr., Parnell said: 81 am exceedingly
pleased at this testimony of American SYM
pathy. 1 never, even in the most serious
phases of the crisis caused by Mr.. Glad
stones letter, had any reason to doubt the
soundness of the Irish-Americau opinion on
the great question of Irelanc's right to
choose her own leader"
The reporter then called Mr. Parnell's at
tention to the sensational report published
on Saturday and cabled back here, alleging
that he had absented himself from the
House CT Commons during the debate on
the Irish distress question Thursday night
in order to visit Mrs O'Shea at Brighton.
Mr.. Parrell replied to this: "The story is
pure fiction. There was nothing requiring
my presence in the House at that time. The
debate was circumscribed one and no use
full question could have been asked upon it.
The members of my party, who are acquaint-
ed with the local details dealt with by the
Chief Secretary, were there and spoke. L
have not sufficiently close acquaintance
with the localities to join in the discussion,
and what L could have said, if / were there,
was much better said by the representatives
of the divisions directly concerned"
Parnell then pointed out that Mccarthy
took no part in the debate and that Sexton,
Healy and all his chief opponents were
likewise absent from the House on the night
in question. "That shows" Mr.. Parnell
continued, "how ridiculous this charge is.
If my opponents could make any capital
against me by joining the debate they would
have done so. But of course there was no
room for them to do SO. Yes, wrote my
manifesto on Thursday night. l was also
engaged during that night in attending to
urgent details connected with our campaign
in ireland. The suggestion that broke an
engagement had at the House is, as l told
you, lie. This fanciful story believe
emanated from the same source as did that
other false report OF fight between the two
sections of the Irish party during their sit
tings in room Is. report that, by the way,
resulted in an order being given excluding
its authors from the lobby of the House of
Commons hereafter"

A FRIEND OF THE NORTH,
The Dying Prince the Strongest Intellect in

The Dying Prince the Strongest Intellect in
the Bonaparte Family.
PARIS, March 15.-Hon. J. Bigelow, ex-
United States Minister to France, in an in
terview to-day, said that Prince Jerome
Napoleon, who is lying at the point of death
at Rome. was "a good friend of the North. +"
Mr.. Bigelow added: "When the
Imperial Court was leaning toward the
South, Prince Jerome Napoleon exerted his
utmost influence in our favor, and opposed
the Mexican expedition. Prince Napoleon
believed in the final success of the North.
[ remember that when he was residing at the
PalalS Royal the appointment of the French
Minister TO Washington was announced.
He is no friend of YOURS said Prince
Napoleon, addressing some of the members
of the diplomatic corps who had Southern
sympathies.
"The Princes influence was greatly
weakened by his liceBtious habits, but un-
doubtedl his was the strongest intellect OF
the Bonapar;e family Having the Prince
on my side, greatly strengthened me in the
negotiations ending in the collapse of the
Mexican enterprise.

COURTESY OF COMBATANTS.
Emperor William Never Had an Idea That
Reconciliation Was Possible.

Emperor William Never Had an Idea That
Reconciliation Was Possible.
PARIS, March 15.-It was stated on the
highest authority that the German Gov
ernment drafted the long statement which
appeared in dispatch published from the
London Times Berlin correspondent, and
claiming to represent the Emperor's reason
for the ace-Lorraine decree. In
this dispatch, it will be remembered, EN-
peror William was said to repudiate the
idea that he had been misinformed az to the
state of affairs caused by the Empress
Frederick's sojourn In Paris, saying that
the courtesy he sought to establish was
merely that of comoatants politely bowing
before crossing swords, and that he never
had any idea that reconciliation was pos
sible.
But the Emperor is supposed to have
added, from the moment that his action was
interpreted as a sign of weakness by hand
full of howling dervishes who succeeded in
making a whole nation giddy, it was his
duty to reassert the dignity of the German
nation. at was not the Emperor's business
to look into the motives of these outbursts,
the Emperor is alleged to have said in con-
clusion.

House Republicans Have Programme of
Action Arranged.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,
HARTFORD, March 15.-Chairman Ben
ton, of the Republican State Central Com
mittee, said late to-day that the House
would pass the Judson bill Tues
day and then send it to the Sem
ate, after which they would take
a recess for Two weeks. He had no faith
that the Senate would concur in the Judson
bill, which con ers upon the Superior Court
the power to decide who is Governor of Con-
nectlcut, but he had faint hope that such
might be the action of the Senate. If, during
the two weeks recess, the House will take
on Tuesday, the Senate does not accept the
Judson bill, or some other practically simi-
lar method of settlement. the House will
pass all bills which seem to be necessary
and will adjourn sine die.
Inquiry among most of the Democratic
Senators, who are in the majority, indicates
that the Judson bill will be rejected The
Senate will adhere to the original deter
mination to do nothing until all the Demo-
cratic State officers are seated. Should the
Legislature adjourn without filling any of
tine many vacancies in the several civil and
criminal courts of the State the greatest
confusion will ensue.

That Is What the Chicago Socialists Term
the New Orleans Outbreak.
CHICAGO, March 15.-At the meeting of
the Trades and Labor Assembly this after
noon Tommy Morgan, Socialist candidate
for Mayor, offered a resolution, which,
after being discussed for three hours,
was finally adopted. The pre-
amble recites that laws have been
enacted for the most severe punishment for
all acts of violence committed by outraged
labor, and whereas yesterday in the city of
New Orleans prominent professional, bust
ness and public men, openly and deliber-
ately organized a mob around them, and
with their cooperation murdered II un-
armed defenseless prisoners in the Jail Of
that city. therefore be it
Resolved, That this body demands that the
same principles and laws that have been strict
ly enforced on the working people be now en-
forced on these mUrdererS for the reason that
if capitalistic anarchism be not prevented by
the severest punishment, the ruling class in
this case will practically be above the law. and
the discontinued laboring classes subjected to
some kind of capitalistic anarchism.

PROSECUTION OF A LADY
For Speaking Disparagingly of the
EmperOr'S Portrait,
on A DISMISSED SERVANTS WORD.
Court Scandals, Involving High Names,
Finally flushed Up.
DISSATISFIED WITH MIQUEES POLICY
rBY puNLAP's CABLE coMFANY.I ]

BERLIN, March 15-Trials for high
treason, which for some time past ha We
happily not been heard of in German courts,
have reappeared under the benevolent des-
potism inaugurated by Emperor William,
and there is the same fine favor OF espionage
and blackmail about them as of yore. The
case of Schmidt versus Won Pummel is one
in point. The defendant is a respectable
lady, wife Of high placed omcial, and the
informer Schmidt is a discharged servant,
formerly in her employ. Schmidt deposed
that be heard Frau Pummel make use of a
disparaging expression while busting por-
trait OF the Kaiser.
Still Pushing the Prosecution.
The untrustworthiness of the witness was
plainly proved at the trial, but the prosecu-
ton is being pushed on with as much rigor
aud disregard for justice as if the safety OF
the realm depended upon the conviction and
incarceration OF the defendant. 1t is more
than probable that the Emperor knows Moth
ing about the affair and that the over-zeal-
Gus or spiteful disposition of some State S
Attorney or other is responsible for the dis
graceful proceedings.
The court scandals involving the name of
the late Prince Frederick Charles as a dealer
in diplomas and orders of chivalry, which
were reported at length on February 16,
have been finally hushed up, and all the
charges against that scoundrel, Maurice
Reiter, who served as a catspaw in the
shady transaction of His Highne. and the
court CLIQUE, have been dropped. One in
significant person is left to take his trial on
charges so irrelevant as to guarantee him an
easy escape.
Sure of an Acquittal.
His public trial is set down for Wedues-
day next, when possibly a subordinate off,
cial of the Court MarshaPs office will be put
into the dock as an accomplice; but the in
dictment is so constructed as to make
speedy dismissal Of the case, according to
law, necessary. This is only one of many
signs of important deviation from the new
course OF which so much has been said in
laudation Of the present reign.
DR.. Miguel has heretofore been looked
upon as one of the principal exponentS of
the new departure, and has done his share
this week toward discrejiting his and the
KaiSer's policy, by the unfair partiality ne
has displayed toward the II lordlv Prussian
msgnates, who are exempt by law from tax
alton. Herr Miguel has declared that the
magnateS must not be asked tc rellnquish
their rights unless they receive round sum
in compensation. The Liberal party are in
dignant at their old Democrats cowardly
retreat, and thev remind him that in his
farewell speech as Burgomeister of Frank
furth he promised to make it his business,
as Secretary of the Treasury, to procure the
equalization of taxation at all hazards.

present and there is considerable talk of
holding a meeting to give expression to
their feelings. The cause OF this indigna-

AMERICAN STATIONS.

German Naval Authorities Charged With

Liberal members assails the Marine De-

benefit of the presence of a single cruiser
for the last four years, but this has now been
recalled, while the West American waters
have not mad a glimpse of the German fac

BETTING ON HIS LIFE.

An Instance Showing the Extent to Which
Gambling will Carry a Man.
A few years ago a shooting occurred in a
Los Vegas saloon. One man got three bull
lets in his body and lay groaning on the
floor. One glance showed that his moments
were numbered.
His breath came in quick, convulsive
gasps, and at times he moaned with pain, as
a friend bent over him and endeavored to
stanch the wounds.
Gambling was at its height in Los Vegas
at this time, and in the midst of this scene a
gambler sprang upon faro table and
shouted: "I'll bet 500 to $40 that man dies
within five minutes" No one responded,
but the offer drew no remonstrance from the
crowd.

denunciation of the affair.
Consul Jerome Fedeli received several
kilograms, one from the Consul at New
Orleans, the contents of which he declined
to reveal, and one from Carlo Barsotti, New
York, editor of II Progresso Halo Ameri-

among Italians and Americans regarding

THE LATEST IN ADVERTISING.

English People Deluged With Recon-

A new method OF advertising is being ten
tatively adopted in England. 1t would
seem to consist in sending post cards recon-
mending particular play, book or picture,
and as this recommendation is pretty likely
to meet not only the eve of the person to
whom it is addressed, but also those of the
postman and servant, through whose hands
1t passes, the scheme seems likely to prove
a successful one.

that he has received the following letter:
