THE PARNELL COMMISSTA.
Some Startling Admissions.
Lonvon, May 3.
In the Parnell Commission the cross- examination of Parnell was continued. Parnell depied that he knew Number One. He said he never heard of Egan being as sociated with the ‘* Martyrs’ Fund,” for the benefit of the families of the Phoenix Park murderers. He, however, saw nothing criminal in the Fund, and thought it was right to assist innocent victims. He could not, he said, reeollect denouncing the outrages between 1878 and 1881. He be- lieved the outrages perpetrated were the work of small secret societies. (Attorney- General Webster quoted s statement made by Parnell in the House of Commons, dur- ing the debate on Forster bill in 1881 suc- ceeding the writ of habeas corpus, to the effect that secret societies had then ceased to exist in Ireland.) ‘*Did you believe that when you said it?’ asked the Attorney-General. ‘* No,” replied Parnell. ‘At any rate it was a gross lie, an aggravated statement.”’ A buzz of surprise ran throughout the courtroom. ‘* Did you intend to mistake the fact when you made that statement?” **T have,;no doubt I did.” ‘* You deliber- ately made the statement knowing . te & .coee. ~*~ tek. oo f not were very extravagant and boastful.” ‘** And have you never since withdrawn it?” **No; Ihave not. The nonchalance with which witness made these admissions astonished the audience and elicited hisses. Probably,” added Mr. Parnell, ‘‘ the state- ment was meant to mislead the house. | am afraid it did not, for the bill was passed. My purpose was to exaggerate theeffect the League had in reducing the number of secret societies. The League undoubtedly diminished the number of societies, but had not swept them away as I stated.”
The Fast Atlantic Service.
Toronto, May 3.
The Empire's Ottawa correspondent tele- graphs: It is reported from London that the syndicate represented by Anderson & Co. are experiencing difficulty in raising the necessary capital to build steamers for the proposed fast Atlantic service. It is estimated that in order togive such a service as the Dominion requires and as_ providad for this session a capital of $20,000,000 will be required. The cautious British capitalists manifest a tendency to hold aloof from investing, owing to the ever changing nature of steamship construction. It is argued that a company with a twenty knot service, while in the van of ocean travel to-day, yet possibly in five years, owing to the rapid improvement in marine architecture, might rank only in the second class.
Salvation Army Secessionists.
Toronto, May 38.
Over 2,000 seceders from the regular Salvation Army met last night to justify to the public their departure from the old organization. The Rev. J. Wilkinson, of Agnes Street Methodist Church, presided, and after many short speeches by the ex- officers of the Army, a resolution was car- ried all but unanimously, approving of the secession movement. Steps will be taken by the seceders to carry on the same kind of work with a new organization.
Oitawa Notes.
Orrawa, May 3.
The new Post Office Act will go into effect on Wednesday next, after which three cents will prepay letters of an ounce weight; drop letters will require two cents, and registration will be increased to five cents,
The net debt of Canada decreased $335, - 000 during the last month. The surplus of revenue over expenditure for the ten months ended April 13th was $5,000,000.
The Sherbrooke Election.
SHERBROOKE, ‘Jue., May 3. Rufus Pope’s candidature in Compton is received everywhere with enthusiasm. The Liberals have nominated L. B. Munrog; who came within 700 of defeating the late Hon. Mr. Pope ‘a few years ago, and will not have any more success this time.

Without Foundation.
Montreal, May 3. Hon. J. J. C. Abbott told a friend to-day that all the rumors to the effect that he would exchange his seat in the Senate for representation in Argenteuil are wholly without foundation, but he did not allude to the question of portfolio.
