Out of each lot of powder a bluo-headed
match wns Btanding , and upon the sliding a

enrly this morning and before the flames
could bo subdued tbo southern halt of it was
gutted This portion ot the building was oc
cupied by Taylor Urotbors , dealers In bats

which runs through tbo middle ot tbo struo-
turo prevented the spread of the flames
to the northern naif of the building , which
Is tilled with the heavy wholesale stock of

Hnunon , Uny nnd Smith , the special com
mission appointed to Investigate the charges
made by the Times against the Parnollito '
members ot tbo commons , wns laid on tbo
table In the house today by Matthews , secre
tary of state for homo affairs
'iho report occupied 1I1.J pages Each mem
ber of tbo house against whom charges were
mndo Is trcntcd separately The Judges find
that the Bpecchcs made by many of thol'ar-
nellltoswcro Intended to bring about the
separation of Itoland from England , and
that tno speeches of others , In view of the
stnto of the country , were calculated to fo
ment crime
The greatest interest centers in the final
conclusions , which nro as follows ;
1 , Wo find that the respondents , members
of parliament , were not members of the con
spiracy having for its object the establish
ment ot nbsoluto lndopondenco for Ireland ,
but And that some of them , together with
Davltt , established and joined tbo land
Icaguo with the Intuntlon , by It us a means , to
bring nbout the nbsoluto Independence of
Ireland us a separate nation
2. Respondents did enter into n conspiracy
by a system of coercion und intimidation to
create ngitntion nguinst the payment of agrl
cultural rents for the put pose of impoverish
ing und expelling from the country Irish
landlords
S. 1 ho chorgo that after denouncing certain
crimes In publlo they afterward led tholr
supportcis to believe that such denunciation
was not sinccro is not established Wo
entirely acquit Mr Parnell and other re
spondents ot the chart o of in inconty in
their denunciation of the Phoenix Park mur-
dora , and wo find that the fao slmilo letter
upon which this charge was chiefly btiBed
ngainst Parnell is n forgery ' Respond
ents did disseminate nowspapera tend
ing to incite podltion and tbo commission
ai ether crimes Respondents did not di
rectly incite any persons to the commission
of crime ether than intimidation , and the
consequence was that crimes • and outrages
were commiltod by persons so Incited As
to the allegation that respondents did noth
ing to prevent crime and expressed no bona
lido disapproval of crime , some of the re
spondents in particular Micnaol Davltt
did express a bona fide disapproval of crime
and outi-ngo , but respondents did not de
nounce thcBystcm of Intimidatio 'h which led
to crime and outrage , but porslsted In this
abstention of denunciation with the knowl
cilgo ot us effect Respondents defended
the persons charged with agrarian crimes
nnd supported tholr families , but it Is not
proved that they subscribed to testimonials
or were intimately associated with notorious
criminals As to the allegations that re
spondents mndo payments to compensate
persons who had been injured in the commis
sion ot crime , wo find that tncy did inako
such paymonls As to the allegation that
respondents invited assistance and co-opora-
tlon with und accepted subscriptions of
money from various advocates of crime and
the use of dynamite , we flntl that respond
ents invited the assistance and cooperation
of and accepted subscriptions ofmonoy fiom
Patrick Ford known as nn advocate of
crime and dynamite but it has not
been proved that the respondents
knew that the Clan-na Gael con
trolled the land league or was collecting
money for tbo parliamentary fund , but it
has been proved that the respondents invited
and obtained the assistance and co operation
of the physical force party in America , in
cluding tbo Clan-na Gal , and the order to
obtain that asBlstanco abstained from repu
diating or condemning tbo action of that
party
Bcsidos these there remains three specific
charges against Parnoll porsonallv , namely :
A. I hat at tbo tlmo of the Kilmalnbam
negotiations Parnoll knew Sheridan and
Boynton bad been organizing outrages and
tbcroforo wished to use fflom to put down
outrages Not proved
B. That Parnoll was Intlmato wlth , lead
ing Invlncibles ; thnt ho probably teamed
from them what they were about
when ho was released on parole in
April , 18S3 , and that ho recognized
the Phoenix paik murders as their handi
work Wo Und that there is no foundation
tor the charge and that the Invlncbles were
not a branch of the land league
C That Parnoll , by an opportune remit
tance , enabled F. Byrne to csoauo from Jus
tice to Franco We find that Parnoll did
not make any remittance to enable Byrne to
cscapo from Justice .
Regarding tbo two special charges against
Davltt that ho was a Fenian and assisted
In the formation of the land league with
money contributed for the purpose of out
rage and crime , and that bo was in close and
intlmato association with the party of violence -
lonco In America and was mainly instru
mental in bringing about the nlllanco
of that party and tbo Parnollito
and homo rule party in America wo
find It proved that Davltt was a Fenian and
received money contiibuted for the purpose
ot outrage This was not , however , for the
formation of the land league Itself , but for
the promotion ot thn agitation leading up to
it Wo Und also that ho , in such close ami
intimate association with the party in Amer
ica , was the man mainly instrumental in
bringing about the alliance referred to
In the opening of the report the judges ro
tor to the uuprecodonted character of the
inquiry The history ot the notion of tbo
leaders of tbo Irish party from 1S77 is re
cited , and tbo relations traced that existed
betweeu the fouuders of the land league nnd
Fenians und Irish Americans Refer
ring to boycotting , it doclarcs that in
stances adduced before the commission
proved that it constituted a system ot in
timidation ot the most severe and cruel
churaetor The boycott combination was
illegal , both in its objects aud the means
adopted to carry it out It was an elaborate ,
all pervading tyranny , alining to injure
landlords us a class and drive thorn out of
tbo country This actlou of the league fur
exceeded the limits of publlo opinion and
created u well grounded terror in the minds
of tlioso suffering under it , The commission
comes to the conclusion that this was the in
tention ot those devising and carrying
out tbo system "In our Judg
ment tbo leaders of the league , in
thus combining to carry out a boycott ,
were guilty of criminal conspiracy Wo
consider this charge established nguliut Par

Uudor the charge of disseminating liews-
papcrs loading to incite to crime ,
the report luxs stress upon the fact that Par
nell did not product ! the report of
nnv speech whereiu ho denounced
the use of dynamite ; nlso that na denuncia
tion by Parnell of tbo action of the physical
force party in Ireland cr America has been
riven in evidence Parnoll admitted that bo
was unable to say ho had , uy speech or ac
tion , found auy fault with the Fenian organ
ization Statistics of crime for ItJSO , 1SS1
and lb62 strongly corroborate this statement
that outrages followed the establishment of
the laud inugue Agrarlau crime raged In
Ireland when the leuguo agitation was at Us
height The coincident decrease of crime
with the Inactivity of the leiiirud was caunlly
conspicuous When the lelguo was sup
pressed in 1SS1 crime dronood from -M59
cases In 1SS1 to 870 cases In ISnT It w as con
tended before tbo eommis'slOn that the ctuses
of crime were not ddo to the league , but to
the chronic stnto of Ireland under distress ,
acgravatod by evictions Compirntivo sta
tistics showed that tbo dominant cause was
the leagues agitation During the severe
distress years from 1S49 to lb.13 , in-
cluslvo when 58,423 families were
evicted , the total agrnrltn crime was
4,2 r , whorots for four years from 1879 to
1&S2 with 11,904 families evicted , the total
record of crimes was 11,1133. Iho commission
rejects the suggestions that crime wns caused
by secret societies , by the compensation for
disturbance bill , or that the decrease of
crime nftor July , 1832 , was duo
to the nrrcars ot , rent act , nnd
nddsj The question is pot whothcr other
causes can bo suggested , tno fact
bolng that tbo increase from 1S7U to 1SS2 ,
though not exclusively ascribed to ngitntion ,
wns mainly duo to the action of the league
nnd its founders and loaders
In the judgmontof the court the denuncia
tions of crimes quoted for the defense were
of llttlo avail because contemporaneously
wltb them the leaders and organizers were
currying on agitation by menus of speeches
and conduct tending to oncourngo crime
Sentiment in Ireland against aiding
the police in the discovery of crim
inals was not confined to the Ignorant ,
but waB shared by thosefrom whoso educa
tion Justor views of duty should prevail
Proof has boon glvou that the laaguo syste
matically ana Indiscriminately defrayed tire
expense of tbo defense of persons charged
with ngragrian crime The knowledge that
such assistance will In alLcasos bo afforded
must have the effect to encourage persona
so disposed to commit outrages The
same obseivatton abpltcs to the
support of their -'jlamilus. Numer
ous books and documents which ,
If produced , might have thrown light upon
the lcaguo's proceedings , were not produced
Generally wo have not recelvod from Pur-
nell nnd the oOlcors of the land league the
assistance wo were ontlll d to expect In the
Investigation of the leagues ' accounts
The report proceeds to , { race the course of
the lcaguo's movemcnia-tln America and Its
Clab na-Gaol. Touching
conuoctlon with tbo , -
ing the contradictory Jovideaco of the
Lo Caron and Parnoll Interview In
the corridors of the hoiso ] In 1BS1. the
balauco of probabilities was in favor
of the accuracy of Lo Ca.on. . It was highly
probable that Parnoll would say to nnyono
whom ho regarded as a • member of the
physical force pa'ty In America that nn un
derstanding ought to be brought about be
tween that party and Parnoll and his sup
porters In the league It was also probable
that Parnoll would mention Dovoy ns the
person host able to arrnngo such Buch an un
derstanding , forDavoy had been
among the principal \ agents through
whom the support of Iho ' Fenians had
been obtained The , purpose of sueh
an nlllanco may bo disputed ; but the desire
of Parnoll and Davltt tfiat the parties of
physical force and open political movement
Bhould act In harmony bad been proved by
Devoy'a ' letter , corroborated by Lo Caron
It Is not impossible that , . " conversing with a
supposed revolutionist ( LotCaron ) , Parnell
expressed himself so as to leave the imprcs-
Bion that ho agreed with these who favored
revolution
Touching the tenth confontion of the Clnn-
na-Gaol , at which Sullvap | presided , the
proceedings proved that , the dymamlte
policy was definitely adontcd.by the Chicago

and the conflicting testimony is taken Into

The fight ever the piymaitor goneralshlp
grows moro vigorous with the close of the
canvass For two woolts past Colonel Tor-
roll , now serving in the department of the
Platte , haB been conceded to lend the various
candidates As sunn ns this fact was made
manifest his rivals in the corps packed their
valises and came at once to Washington , and
have since been buttouholing every in
fluential politician and bombarding the whlto
houBe and war department with momorlals ,
potitlons and endorsements Tha local
press , too , has been used to Colonel
Terrell'a ' disadvantage , as have also
the column of several of the Now York
papers , in nil of which it has been stated
that the colonels only claim for the promo
tion Is the fact that ho Is an Indlanian aud a
personal friend of the piesident , while the
records and Colonel Terrell's ' papers on lilo
will show that ho bases his claim for promo
tion upon rank , and clinches the arguments
which ho brings by the best legal opinion of
the country to show that ho should todav
head the list ofcolouols ot the pay depart
ment If ho Is appointed it will bo on the
ground that the president believes him to be
entitled to the place by long and faithful
service
Major Carey , who Is way down on the list
and who is nnxious to jump over the heads
of olght or nine of his superiors , has bcon
counting on the fiiendshipof the secretary
of war , whose neico be married He has
bcon waging n fork and mouth campaign
bore and bringing ull the lntluenco of the
petticoat brigade to bear upon his candldaoy
It is not at all probable that Major Carey
will bo considered , Tbo _ light , as it now
stands , it botyvoon Colonel JTorrpU and
Colonel Bodnsy Smith It is not at all likely
ly" tbat ir Colonel Terrell is not ap
pointed that any other than tbo
ranking colonel will rocclvo the
coveted position , as the president
has Intimated that ho may make a solcction
with rospoctto rank , as shown by the rec
ord Senator Paddock has made several
calls upon the president in the interest of
Colonel Terrell's candidacy and fools very
much encouraged over the outlook Ho
behoves that the president will admit the
justice of Colonel Terrell's claim on the
ground Of seniority , nud that so doing ho
will clevnto him to a position which be is so i
compotcnt to fill and to which ho Is entitled
on grounds of justice
THE MONTANA SCNATOIHAL COSTEST
Montana , alter all Is going to have two
republican United States senators 'J hero
have been some Informal talks und confer
ences among the leading republican senators
during tbo past week , lu which Messrs ,
Sanders and Powers , the republican senators
elect , have participated , and the result is un
understanding that the majority ot the committee -
mitteo on privileges and elections will report
in favor of seating tha two republican
senators elect unless the investigation nnd
hearings which the commltteo will make
during the next few days develop some
now evidence going to show tbat tbo rcpnbll
cans have no right to the seats
they claim Tbo recent action of the demo
cratic members of the upper branch of the
Montana legislature in running away to
break a quorum has been very damaging to
the democratic Bide of the contest here It
has impressed the republicans in Washing
ton with the fact that the democratic mem
bers ot the legislature have used every con
ceivable way to defeat a fair action upon the
election of United Stales senators and pro
posed measures affecting state interests If
the democrats in the legislature had como
squarely to the front on nil issues presented
tbolr case would bine been materially
assisted Messrs McGinnis and Clark ,
the democrnts who were certified bv Gover
nor Toolo us having been elected to the
United States senate , have beeu in Washing
ton two or three weeks for tha purpose ot
giving encouragomeut to the democrats In
tbo sonata hem in the way of assurunco that
they were entitled to the scats claimed ,
They have , however , labored under many
embarrnssmonts , among which the uctlon of
the state democratic senators in running
away from their posts ot duty to break up a
quorum was pot the greatest
Hnccmly ex-Governor Huuser , the most
prominent democrat in Montana , was in
Washington and gave bis opinion that
McGinnis and Clark were not en
titled to their seats , us tboy did
not present the proper prima facie
ovldenco , and if the United States sen
ate should go behind the returns something
rotten would bo discovered in the election
precincts canvassing boards and work ot thn
county officers Uhls statement , circulated
among the democratlascnators here , bad the
effect of dampening the ardor of AlcGinuls
and Clark and their friends
About two weeks ago an understanding
was thought to oxlst whereby no
senators from Montana would bo seated and
the whole eleotlon would bo relegated to the
people and settled by the next legislature
Since no ono has occupied a seal from Montana
in tbo United States senate , u failure to scat
any ono at this tlmo would not make a va
cancy , nnd therefore Governor Toolo would
not have tbo authority to appoint senators ,
during n recess of the legislature ConBid-
ering the irrogularlties in the election pro
ducts throughout Montana , wluro democrats
are charged with Improperly influencing
voters , tbo unusual canvassing board re
turns , certification of local and state oDlcers ,
the filibustering of democratic senators to
prevent the election and their final running
out of the state to break up a quorum , the
conclusion bus been reached hero that the
two republicans claiming to have been
elected bliall receive a favorable teport from
the committee ou privileges and elections
and bo seated
