He suggested land, a3 well as robbing farms of pigs, At our salesroom, corner 10th and Pennsylvania sv- terviews with Eugene Davis at Lausanne. Wit- uess told Davis that he required material for a pamphiet on the league, and that the docu- iments procured must be substantiated by sig- res. next day Davis said he had carefully considered the matter and could not eomply with the request because the Fenian brother- hood was bound to Mr. Parnell not to inter- fere with his movements until the expiration of a certain period. Several months later witness revisited Lansanne and again saw Davis. Davis still adhered to his refueal to =— information until the day witness left. He then proposed to Davis to write the pamphlet -and ix the date for its publication. ihe offered him £100 to give the principal facts. Davis did so, and witness took notes of Davis’ statement. Immediately afterward witness wrote a de- tailed account of the interview at the hotel at Lausanne on hotel paper. He gave Mr. Hous- ton the copy that was read yesterday. In con- sequence of a letter which he received froma friend in Paris early in April, 1336, witness had conference with Houstop and then went to Paris. He remained in that city a week or more before he learned anything. en he was . ACCOSTED ON THE STREET by a man giving the name of Morris Murphy, who said he had been # compositor in witness’ employ. He did not recognize the man, but saw no reason to doubt bis statement. They con- versed for some time and subsequently met again, when Murphy said he had not been able to ascertain anything about the documents. A week later Murphy said he had found the documents ina bag. He described the bag to Witness and said it contained five or six of Egan's letters, some of Parnell’s and some old accounts. Witness said he was authorized to find the documents and asked the price for their surrender. Mr. Murphy at first wanted 1,000 pounds, but afterwards suid he would take 500 pounds. The next day Murphy showed witness the bag and its contents. Witness read the letters and made memoranda, but did not actually copy the letters. Piggott here identified six letters of Eagan's, five of Parnell’s, including the letter a fac simile of which appeared in the Times, and seraps of accounts, which were produced in court as the contents of the bag. A TRIP TO NEW YORK. Piggott said he did not know Mr. Parnell’s writing when he looked at the bag. He knew his signature. He believed that the signatures attached to the letters were those of Mr. Parnell. He had no idea as to who wrote the body of the letters. He did not know Mr. Campbell, Mr. Parnell’s secretary, and had never seen his writing. Witaess returned to England and saw Mr. Houston, who, after con- sideration, said he was prepared to pay the amount demanded for the letters. He returned to France on April 30, 1886, and told Murphy that he would accept his offer. Murphy said that agents of the Clan-na-Gael from New York claimed the letters, and in order to obtain them it would be necessary to go to New York to obtain authority from the heads of the Clan- na-Gael. Murphy suggested that witness go. Witness was strongly opposed to going, know- ing that he would ir great danger. After | along discusssion Murphy told witness that it would be utterly impossible to obtain the letters unless witness went to New York. Wit- pose consulted with Houston and went to New ork. SWORE ON A CATHOLIC PRAYER-BOOK. There he saw Breslin, to whom Murphy had | given him a letter. He had not known Breslin | before the meeting. He did not know what | Murphy's letter contained; it was sealed. The | interview with Breslin lasted five minutes. | Breslin met him half an hour after bis arrival. He told him that he had received a cable dis- patch from Paris instreoting him to meet wit- After a few remarks he handed witness a sealed letter, which he said witness was to deliver to Murphy in Paris, Witness con- tinued: i “I returned to London and told Houston what | had occurred. He believed the letter contained authority to deliver the bag. I went to Paris on July 10. and saw Murphy at the Hotel St. | Petersbourg. 1 handed him the letter and he | said it was all right, but he explained that he | could not give me the letters until he had seen other people. Two evenings later Murphy took | me to acafé in the Rue St. Honore. He con- ducted me to a private room where five men were seated around a table. These men, he said, represented the Clan-na-Gael. He made me swear on a Catholic prayer-book that under no circumstances would I reveal the source from which I had obtained the documents. I | also swore that I would not mention names, and if any proceedings followed the publica~ tion of the letters that I would not testify.” DENIES THAT HE IS A FORGER. Piggott did not get the documents that night. Houston had said that he would take the docu- ments on Piggott’s description without coming to Paris himself, but Piggott pressed him to come. Witness detailed the purchase of the letters and Murphy's offer to repurchase them, corroborating Houston's testimony on point. Witness had nothing to do directly or indireetly with the writing of the letters. “The suggestion that I forged them is quite untrue,” he said. Witness knew Egan’s writing and sig- nature and was convinced that Egan wrote the lettors ascribed to him. Murphy was displeased with the refusal to return the letters. He said | he would prefer to pay Piggott himself some- thing rather than to iose possession of the let- ters. Witness saw Hayes, the president of the “L &. B.,” and Casey. a Fenian, in Paris. | Sir Chas. Russell here objected to the ad- | mission of evidence as to what passed between Hayes and Casey and the witness. After a long wrangle Mr. Davitt rose and said that he had eeen Casey and Hayes in Paris since the ap- | pointment of the commission. Pigott, resuming, said he first heard of the existence of other letters at the beginning of | 1888. His informant was Thos. Brown. a mem- | ber of the Clan-na-Gael, Hayes introduced | Brown and witness im the Café Royale, Rue St. | Honore. Paris. Brown produced the letters and witness sent to Houston copies of two of Parnell’s and one of Egan's. Piggot had not the slightest donbt that the signatures were | genuine. In July, 1883, he heard of other let- | tera. A person in Paris, who declined to re-| veal his name, offered to surrender them for | £40. He was paid £200, of which sum witness | received £50 back. Piggott denied that he had | forged any part of the second or third batch of letters. He destroyed Houston's letters when he changed his address in 1887. Witness, previous to Houston's taking him to Mr. Soame’s Office, had been subpened by Mr. Lewis, of counsel for the Parnellites, CLAIMED TO BE PARNELL'S MESSENGER. Pigott continued: man named O’Brien visited me in Dublin under the alias of Sinclair. He said that Parnell had sent him to try to get me to assist Egan. Mr. Labouchere, he said, was acting for Mr. Egan, and would pay me s very high price if Ihad any letters of Par- nell’s to sell. Sinclair suggested that I should #ee Mr. Labouchere in London, and gave me £5 with which to pay my passage. In compliance with a telegram I went to London on October 17. Sinclair appointed a rendezvous for a meet- ing with Mr. Labouchere. I went to the place mentioned, but was disappointed, as Mr. La- bouchere was not the: I declined to hold a conversation with Sin 0 to Mr. Labouchere’s house. I refused, and, at Houston's instance, ceased negotiating with Sinclair. I afterward wrote to Mr. Labouchere without Sinclair's knowledge. Mr. Labouchere replied, and Ihad an interview with Parnell and Labouchere at the latter's house.” MR. LABOUCHERE’S OFFER. Continuing, Piggott said that at the meeting | feferred to Mr. Parnell told him that he held Prima facie evidence that witness had forged the letters, and Mr. Labouchere proposed that witness admit the forgery. Witness could hardly believe that Mr. Labouchere was serious, Mr. Lewis entered during the interview, and said that if witness to the room he said thattaoth: him to swear that the letters Lewis then asked witness but on returning ing would induce forgeries. gS H s E this | r, who pressed me to | that Piggott meet Mr. Parnell again. Piggott replied that Lewis’ letters confirmed his convio- tion that when he acceded to Labouchere’s wish for a private interview he had walked into atrap. He was prepared to meet any proceed- ings, and he declined to meet Mr. Parnell again, Witness, continuing, said that Mr. La- bouchere repeatedly wrote to him in Dublin, pressing him to testify and offering to pay his assage. At the end of January he received a letter containing £10. He was anxious to avoid testifying. He was aware that it was dangerous to offend the Clan-na-Gael, and that he might be murdered. A CHIROGRAPHIC TEST. Sir Charles Russell cross-examined Piggott. He asked the witness to write the words “live- lihood, likelihood, Richard Piggott; prosylit- ism, Patrick Egan, P. Egan, and hesitancy.” This the witness did, "Piggott said he had cor- responded with Mr. Forster from 1851 to 1884. He denied that he had communicated with every Irish secretary since 1870. To the best of his belief he did not write to Earl Spencer in 1873 offering valuable information for money. He wrote to Sir G. 0. Trevelyan asking for money on account of his support of the gov- ernment, but he did not offer to furnish infor- mation. PIGGOTT’S CONFESSOR. He denied that in his statement to Mr. Lewis he said that the publication of the letters by the Times had alarmed him, and that he had, therefore, asked Archbishop Walsh to place him in communication with Mr. Parnell in or- der to expose the forgeries. He did not think that Sir Charles Russell ought to question him regarding the letters to Archbishop Walsh, be- cause he regarded the archbishop as his con- fessor. He denied that he knew that the arti- cles on ‘‘Parnellism and Crime” were being prepared. : A LETTER TO ARCHBISHOP WALSH, Sir Charles Russell here produced a letter from Piggott to Archbishop Walsh, dated March 4, 1887, and marked “private and confidential.” In this letter Piggott told the archbishop that he was aware that proceedings were contem- plated with the object of destroying the Par- nellites’ influence in parliament. All that he could indicate was that the proceedings would consist of the publication of statements tend- ing to show the complicity in crime of Parnell | and his colleagues. He assured the archbishop that he wrote with a full knowledge of these designs, and could indicate how they could be successfuly combatted and defeated. Sir Charles Russell pressed the witness to explain how these designs could have been de- feated if the letters were genuine. Piggott re- plied that he had not the slightest recollection of writing anything of the kind. He did not recollect what charges were meant in the let- ter, and. in fact, he did not recollect the letter atall, He could not have had the Parnell let- ters in mind when he wrote to the archbishop, He must have been thinking of other charges, but he could not say what those charges were. Sir Charles Russell then read the postscript to the letter, as follows: ‘I need hardly say that did I consider the parties really guilty I should not dream that your grace would par- | take in an effort to shield them. My only wish is to impress upon your grace that the evidence is apparently convincing and probably suffi- cient to secure a conviction by an English jury.” t Piggott reiterated that the Parnell letters were not in his mind when he wrote the post- script. He added that he never thought the letters in_ themselves constituted a serious charge. He asked for the archbishop’s reply, which Sir Charles Russell produced. Piggott, after inspecting the archbishop’s letter, said he believed that he never received it, The commission then adjourned, Men’s Fashion Notes. From the New York World.

Velvet collars on swallow-tail coats are seen | in London. It is considered in good mode to wear embroidered trousers. Double-breasted | evening vests are also much worn in the British metropolis. Every indication points to a continuance of | the popular tan shades in hats, gloves and un- derwear. Diagonal cloth in wide wale will be a favor- ite fabric for spring top-coats. The erstwhile popular ruffed shirt fronts, slightly modified in accordance with the dicta of modern taste. are being to some extent re- vived. A strong prejudice exists against them, however. A convenient contrivance for wheelmen is a leather wristlet containing a pocket for a watch, so arranged that the dial of the watch is at all times exposed to view. There are no less than twenty extreme shapes in collars now on the market.and the list is being constantly added to. Outfitters say there can no longer be any doubt that public taste is undergoing a decided revolution as to the styles of collars. Many of the noveities are quite picturesque. n watch-chains there is a noticeable leaning towards large links in both plain and traced gol Square-pointed link cuffs have won in the contest for supremacy for evening dress wear.

Nine years later, when the famous gol spike was driven through a Northern Pacific railroad sleeper, he was worth 35,000,000. He impoverished himself in trying to sustain the value of his property and went under. Next, at more than fifty years of age, he rose again as a financier. Warner Miller is fifty years old. Beginning in the humblest way he managed to organize a mill company pode worked sixteen hours a day for ten years to make his fortune. He was past forty when his bank accounts showed him that he could afford to take the world more easily, He isa millionaire now. Levi P. Morton is about sixty-three years old. Twenty-five years ago, when he was thirty-eight ‘or thirty-nine, he founded his banking house, He was fifty-one when his wealth enabled him to devote a part of his time to public life.

Jay Gould’s early life was a failure, but this phase of it was very short. He was born in 1831 and went into speculating in railroad stocks in 1859, when he was twenty-eight years old.

From the New York Sun, The Paper World discloses the interesting fact that the news companies receive an aver- age of thirty new periodical publications every week in the year. They find not more than one out of the thirty profitable to handle, and not one in thirty is permanently successful. The great majority of the new progeny of intellect and enterprise hardly get their eyes open be- fore they die. The wonder is what they were begun for, if so soon they were to be done for. A birth rate of thirty a week seems very high. That is, 1,560 a year, or, looking at it another way, five for every week day in the year. A new periodical is born and sent out to the news companies to nurse every four hours and forty- eight minutes, day or night. How few of the interesting little creatures ever cut their eye teeth! But the statistics procured by the Paper World from the news companies by no means represent the actual rate of increase, since comparatively few of the new journals started in the United States find their way to these agencies of distribution. Notwithstanding the tremendous mortality among the new born, and the great number of older newspapers mndon house in 1868, 7 which drop out of existence every year, the net annual increase in the periodical publica- tions of all sorts, daily, weekly, and monthly, political and commercial, heathen and Chris- tian, smart and silly, is from 500 to 1,500. It varies much in different years, The least pro- lifie year since 1830 was 1882, when the net in- crease was 344. The most ‘prolific year was 1884, when the excess of births over deaths was 1.475. Next to that came another presi- dential vear, 1880, when the net increase was 1,0; We take these figures from Mr. Rowell’s American Newspaper Directory. In fact, during the past twenty years there has been only one.year when there were more dead ducks than fledglings. The total fell from 8,129 in 1376 to 7,958 in 1877. The truth is—and we violate no law of professional se- crecy—that itis one of the easiest things in the world to start a new newspaper. - se — How Women Run a Restaurant. From the New York Star. ‘Two ladies entered a well-known. restaurant for ladies in this city a few days ago,one of them wishing to entertain the other. Luncheon was ordered, and the oysters were brought swim- ming ina dish as innocently as if they had never seen a shell, after the custom adopted by the house of serving oysters and eggs. The ladies proceeded to eat what they had ordered, when the waiter girl bawled : “Sixty cents!” No attention being paid to this remark she bawled out again. A second time she was taken no notice of, so she exid: “It is the rules of the house, ma’am to pay when you orde a At this by no means gentle hint the lady who was entertaining te other sai ‘I have not finished ordering yet; I shall want something more.” “It's the rules of the house to pay when you order.” “I don’t care anything about the rules of the house. I will pay when I have finished m: luncheon. In the meantime, perhaps, you ha better have a guard stationed at the door to see that I do not escape without paying. And you will oblige me by not bawling out the price of what I have ordered; I have invited my friend to lunch with me, and it does not suit me to have her informed of just how much she is costing me.” This startling harangue, and ignoring of the rules of the establishment, awed and silenced the waiter girl, and collected quite a crowd of waiter girls, who eagerly discussed such un- heard-of independence, The two ladies ate their luncheon regardless of all comments, and when they had finished, called for the check. No checks are nm in the house, so the amount was stated by the girl, this time in low tone. But she was not to be let off easily. “No check? Then how can I know that Iam paying the correct sum? You are suspicious of me, so why should not I be suspicious of you? It serves me right for coming toa place I hate, and if I get out of here I shall never enter the place again!

They said that the effects and rights arising from that declaration were the same as if a declara- tion of war had been issued, and that martial law had therefore with reason been proclaimed, and all nationalities were subject to it. The English consul issued another proclamation, which bore the appearance of retracting some- what his previous publication. United States Consul Blacklock then issued a proclamation, dated January 22, forbidding all Americans from taking any part in the hostile operations on either side. He declared that so long as they remained non-combatants they were entitled to personal immunity and protec- tion, and that any offense committed against them or their property was an offense against the laws of war, and should all eed re- ported to him, so that the offender or offend- ers might be brought to justice, KLEIN'S NATIONALITY. The German papers assert that Klein, the American correspondent, was born at Lahr and served as asergeant in the German army dur- ing the Franco-Prussian war, and was subse- quently compelled to leave Germany and went to America. Word comes from San Francisco, however, that Klein was born in England, his mother being an English woman and his father a Danish professor. The family came to the United States when Klein was a child, and he received an education thoroughly American, In the house of commons yesterday Mr.W. H. Smith, the government leader, referring to the Samoan question, said that pending the conference the government was unable to ex- press any decided opinion on the subject, although he might state that Germany had strongly declared that she would not recede from any of her engagements as to the rights of Englishmen and Americans in Samoa, The U.S. 8.

In ite treatment of public affairs it is impartial ‘and aims to be fair and just to all taithsand inter- ests, and it is absolutely independent, in the high- est and broadest sense of the term. In the pubil- cation of news it records facts without bias or color, and in the expression of editorial opinion it is as steady and firm in advocating and promoting only what it believes to be right, as it is persistent in condemning and opposing what it believes to be | "rong. It is, in brief,-wholly untrammeled by any other interest or consideration than that of serving the public, and securing as far as possible the we- fare of the family circle, and of society as a whole. With these general objects in view, what THE StaR specially concerns itself with, and that to Which it gives its best efforts, may be briefty de. scribed as THE INTERESTS OF WASHINGTON AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. To these the paper has been unswervingly devoted since its present management assumed its direction, and this policy will characterize the future career of the paper as prominenuy as it has marked its ast history. 48 AN ADVERTISING MEDIUM. ‘The EVENING STAR claims to be, and can com clusively establish that it 18, the best local advertise ing medium tn the world!

C hardly too much to say that it is read by the mem- bers of every family in the District of Columbia. It is peculiarly the favorite of the home circle, and is no less esteemed tn the counting room and the ‘Work shop. It follows, therefore, that as an agent of publicity within the National Capital and cop- tiguous territory it has no rival An announce- ‘ment in tts columns practically meets all eyes, and, in proportion to the service it gives, its advertising | Fates rank with the lowest in the country. Being low, they are rigidly adhered to. There only re- mains to be added on this head, as an indication of the esteem in which the paper is held by the business public, which best understands its own interests in this respect, that, both in the number of subscribers and of new advertisements printed, each year in the history ot the paper shows large IBcrease over its predecessor. For example, during j the first nine months of the present year the average daily circulation of the paper _bas been 26,651 copies, and the whole | Bumber of new advertisements printed 39,603, against an average daily circulation of 25,427 copies and 38,504 new advertisements dur- ing the corresponding period in 1887. In short, THE STAR has never taken a backward step, and Is especialy commended to that portion of the Teading public who desire to be kept advised of affairs at the seat of government, and are eo situ: ated as not to need or care for s daily paper. Itis in every respect @ Srstclass family journal Ite news is caréfully collected, and may be depended ‘Upon to be fresh andeuthentic.
