The Brit ish commander tells also of the re- pulse of two heavy German attacks against Contamination and of steady progress by his forces in the TTones wood, the scene of much heavy and desperate fighting during the past few days. incidentally, General Haig com ments on the heavy casualties sus- tained by the Germans in their attacks against the British forces north of the Somme.
 From General Haig's bulletins it is seen that the British are driving stead fly towards the crest of the ridge com manding the wide Bipaume plateau. According to the view of French mili- tary experts there are no less than 500, 900 German bayonets opposing the advance of General Haig's forces.
 The Reuter- correspondent at the British front reports that two German field guns bearing the date 1874" have been captured by the British. The cor respondent asks whether, without at taching undue importance to the inci- dent, these guns do not indicate the straits to which the Germans are be- ginning to be reduced in order to find sufficient armament

LONDON, July 12.-John Redmond, leader of the Irish nationalsts, today issued a statement characterizing the speech of the Marquis of Lansdowne in the House of Lords on Tuesday, as a declaration of war on the Irish people He says also that the speech was a breach of faith, apparently made with the intention of wrecking the signs for q compromise.
 In his speech before the House of Lords on Tuesday, Lansdowne outlined a system for the provisional govern ment of Ireland when martial law is abolished there, and until new gov ernment can be established. Among other suggestions was the maintenance of a garrison in Ireland strong enough to preserve order. He thought 10000 troops under command of General Max twell would be sufficient to prevent the situation from getting out of hand

 If this defendant, as he testified, turned back as he was walking away and returned to the body, we can ac- count for that frightened pacing up and down behind the four trees only by a miracle"
 MT. Potter followed. His effort was the first detailed summary of the in- depreciation of the defense of the nicely balanced bits of circumstances which compose the case. He was very bitter in scoring Dr. Ralph w Webster. the states toXicolosist. and in his criticism of alleged unethical conduct on the part of Mir. Joslyn.
 He denied Mir Dady's assertion that the circumstances in the case must not be taken as separte instances, but as a sequence of instances-the picture as a whole.
 MT. Dady presumes the defendant guilty and bends every circumstance to that end. Nothing could be more unfair than to subject the school boy letters, the schoolboy fright, to this process.
 They say he is guilty because he ran away from the body and because he told lies. He did both. but let me Bell you, gentlemen, that the man who had calculated murder never would have ran. N He would have appeared promptly with the cry Marion has com mitted suicide, and he lied, gentlemen, as nine out of ten person would have lied when afraid of a whipping"
 A review of the motives which Marion might have had for suicide and her re- marks on unhappiness were given by ths lawyer.
