LONDON , Aug. 21. Parnoll's letter , admit
ting the Inaccuracy of the amount attributed
to Mr. Dillon's drawing from the evicted
tenants' fund has brought to a pause the
wretched controversy In the Irish commons
ranks , which really centers In the dcslro of
each sldo to obtain control of the Paris fund.
Mr. Parnell , brought to bay , is mctlncr out
the same treatment to Messrs. Dillon and
O'Brien which ho had already meted out to
the Hcalyltcs and the liberal lead
ers , but ho Is lighting nn impossible -
possible battle. Nobody doubts the scrupu
lous integrity of Mr. Morley , and on the
question of veracity , Mr. Paruell , with his
record of the wildest statements stands no
chance of credence. However , ho still knows
the weak points In his enemies' armor and
compels them to wind and take refuge in
ambiguity. This unedifying spectacle , which
gains undeserved attention , occurring , as It
docs , at the deadest part of the political sea
son , can have but ono result the destruction
of Ireland's chances of homo rulo. The tory
press nnd party are delighted that Mr. Par-
neil has succeeded in drawing from Messrs.
Gladstone and Morley an admission of anxiety
to reach Mr. Parnell through secret cnannels.
Long leaders in the tory papers dwelt upon
the discomfiture nnd humiliation of the lib
eral leaders , whllo the liberal press vainly
appeals to the party to leave Mr. Parnoll
alone. The clericals are incensed at Messrs.
O'Brien and Dillon for adhering to the plan
of campaign , in doflancoof Homo. Altogether
the position of the Irish problem , from which
ever side it is viewed , is oxtremolv pornlev-
ing. The only patent fact is that Parnellism
is dead. The apathy of the Pornollitos' or
ganization nnd the constant accession of Par-
iiellltos to the National federation have in
duced the latter organization to instruct its
registration agents for election lists to make
no distinction between ParneUitos and Me-
Cartbyltos.
The hideous scene enacted at the Conway
execution has caused an outcry throughout
the country which Is not unlikely to prove
the beginning of the end of capital punish
ment , and is certain in any case to greatlv
strengthen the agitation for for its abolition.
The exclusion of reporters from executions
has long been a sere object. In this instance
rcportois were present , but they wcro hur
ried o IT ns/ > eon ns It transpired what had
occurred. Kxocutioner Berry declares that
the drop stipulated for by the authorities
is mucn too great , but his protest was of no
avail. But it is also rumored that ho was
carousing on the previous night and nt pres
ent it is impossible to say whsro the blatno
lies. The public Insists upon a rigid inquiry
and especially as there are statements afloat
that at the execution of Wadsworth last
week , a Juryman found the rope saturated
with blood , but was not allowed to see the
nock of the victim , which was covered with
thick wadding. . - , . , n- -
Adverse weather today partially marred
the Portsmouth review , but as far as the
queen was able to lusuro it , nothing was
lacking to honor nnd satisfy Franco. The
only possible cause for dissatisfaction that
the French government could entertain is
absence of Lord Salisbury , which deprives
the reception of the foreign oftlco's approval.
The radicals declare that Lord Salisbury de
clined thus openly to display friendship
which may bo interpreted ns a disregard to
the driobund.
Little is hoped from the China naval notion
but the movement Is welcomed as an indica
tion that the pressure of the powers has had
an effect.
Premier nudlnil of Italy Informed the
cabinets of Germany , England and Franco
that it would cq-oporato with those nations
if combined action was necessary , but if the
powers declined to net Italy would herself
send a fleet to Chinese waters to act ludo-
pcndentlv and Immediately , if necessary , to
protect Italian subjects.

was reported Friday morning us north of

rate of about 830 miles a day. This would
bring it upon the Florida coast Saturday

no indication of its approach. It is likely
that this hurricane has changed direction
toward the Bermudas and Itmay unite with
the storm passing eastward over northern
Now England. The storm center Thursday
night over the upper lakes has moved over
the St. Lawrence valley. A tongue of low
pressure from the main area continues to ex

Following this storm is a well marked high

This cool wave will bring cool and generally

this morning gave pronilso of a line iiay at

shortly before noon and cut the attouiUuico
down to n pereoptablo degree. It cleared oft ,
however , about 2 o'clock , and the vast aud
itorium ot the palace was filled at that hour
to listen to t'ao address of Hon. Ignatius Don
nelly In the Interests of iho fanners' alii-
anco and the people's party movement. Mr.
Donnelly talked for two hours on
the political issues , his speech being
largely on the old giccnback order of
oppression to the farmer and slams at the
money kings. Ho advocated government
loans to states , state loans to counties and
county loans to the peonlo at 2 par coat Inter
est. This brought down the house and
scorned to suit the granger but unfortunately
the farmer attendance today , owing to the
bad weather , was slight.
Mr. Donnolly Is a pleasing speaker and his
lecture last night on "Tho Great Cryptogram"
delivered before tno Creston City club was
highly apprcdlated , but ho did not have the
right kind of an audionca today , It being
composed largely of city people.
Tomorrow is Taylor and Mills

oratorical days , Hon. W. C. I' . Brockonridgo
of Kentucky having the leading address. He
speaks on the tariff and Its effect upon the
Dcoplo. The nualtorlum crowd uro looking
forward with expectancy to this address , as
ho is considered 0110 of the ablest speakers In
the soutn.
The great moving panorama of the - bluegrass
grass region proves to oo the leading attrac
tion of the palace ana thousands of pcoplo
look upon its beauties at all hours , as
It moves slowly along , revealing ono
grand scone of music , beauty and wealth ,
uftor another. It was painted oy Louis
Syborkrop , a landscape artist of state no
toriety , and was made at a great expense.
It is to bo taken to Now York immediately
after the close of the exposition.
The grftit attractions of the speed ring

appointed receiver and an order has been issued -

the business , so that contracts , amounting
almost to S'J.000,000 can ho c..rrled out. A
meeting of the stockholders and creditors
will bo hold hero tomorrow , \\hon it is ex
pected some satisfactory plan of settlement
will be agreed on.

to open accounts. By these llgiires the com

claim the assets are thoroughly good and will
not shrink. The plants are said to bj in good
condition and the $1,000,000 worth of raw ma

The oOlcers reconcile the apparently good
showing and the application for n receiver
by claiming that the demand notes matured
faster than ready money could bo obtained to
mret the paper. Within the past throe
months the statements show that the com
pany has reduced its indebtedness fa'iO.OOO.
