Mr. Keiiunv, coiuimI for the i>roB( cation, denied the ri^ilit of the ih fence to ask what had happeneti in ('ouncil at Dublin. The Magihtrale Haid Mr. HarriiiKtoii h ajiplica- tion waa foiimli'd on t)ic aHHUinption that j the etatenienta in the proclamation were falae, and the (lourt was not competent to decide the ijiieHtion. The hearing; of the evidence was then reauineil. The solicitor for the defence waiio a formal aflidavit in eupport of the aiiplicatioii fur the uurnmon- in); of Mr. Balfour and the ra,»o was ad- journed.

'Jhe BuppresKion of the Wood- ford meeting HhowB hov^' far they aro rea<ly to go. Tlie Irinh leaders meant this meet- inn an * ohalleniie. They doubted whether the Government would venture to [nrevent an SHHuinhlatje of the Kn|>liBli Homo Kiile Ijeai{u» addressed exclusively by Kntfliah men. They doubt no longer. They see the poli<-y of repression anci nupprcssion is to be tried in urirn earnest. Nor need either Side regret that this ijuestion should be brought to a Bi|iiare issue. If Ireland can be governed from Dublin Ca»tle, it will be governed thia winter. If it cannot, so much stronger will be the argument for Uuine Utile. A last (Friday) i i^ht's Ijondon i able â- ays : Mr. (iladHtonu on his way back to Ilawardeii, at Hinleybridge, made a apeech, in whicli he advived the people to Hettlo the IriHli â- loestuiii. olherwisu no l'°.nglii<h business oniild be transacted in r»rliauieiit. •lauitH Donnelly, the dynamiter, who was convii led in IHHIl in lOdinburgh, has dieil ill ('littthaiii priKon of '-onHiiiiiption.

The present I .iberal |Kjlii'y was not founded on ae»|>Bir- iinlenB it were despair of the old worn-out inetliods.

((;iieera.) TUK DYNAMITE 8TUKY. MoTements of Mlllen and Melvilleâ€" Con- spiracies to AssasHiuate. A London cable says : .Vii inquest was held yeBterday on the dynamiter who dieil of consumption in his lodging house on THE FISH DISPUTE. What West and Other* Think of Obani- berlaiu's Appointment. A Wahliington (D.C.I despatch says : Mr. los. ph t^hamberlain has iiatitied Sir Lionel i Lambeth road.

Mr. West is a diplo- mat, lie H%\n that it " amuses him to hear who would dare to vote for any measure wnich may be opposed by any considerable number of Irish American citizens. Mr. West also relates fully the very unpleasant " lioie " into which he is thrust by the ajipointment of Chamberlain upon the Banie coininission with himself. But Mr. West is too well versed in diplomatic eti<juette to suggest to his Government that the gentleman who has been selected as his soiwrior on the com- mission is unfit for the place. The situation is unfortunate, to put it mildly. In the first place. Congress set the seal of its dis- approval ujion the idea of a commission so emphatically last winter that there can be no possible hojje of the approval of any measure in the House if the terms of the forthcoming convention are such as to re- quire the sanction of that branch. Kveii if it does not affect the revenues, and can therefore go into effect with the approval of the Senate alone, it is destine*! to meet with but poor support in that bo<ly. fine of the beat posted men in the Cpper House said to-day : " I am ex- ceedingly sorry to learn that the President has decideil not to interfere in the appoinl- lueiit of the liritibh Coininissioners. The sentiment of more than half the Senate is opposed to Mr. Chamherlsin's position uj>on the Irish i|ueation. and the others are gene- rally inclined in a lesser dogree to take the same views, i; very Irish Ko<iety ill the I' nited States will in all probability oppose any measure in which Chamberlain has a hand. Couple with this state of affairs the fact that the Senate is opposed to the settlement of differencea through a joint uomuiiSHion. and it will readily be seen that any treaty which may be negotiated will have a very slim chance of ratification. I have no idea that anything can lit accomplished by this |i-oiiimisBion as it is at present roiistitntod." Messrs. Aiigell and I'utiiam, the American members of the comniission, have returned to Washington, and arc in frequent con- sultation with Secretary nayanl regarding the approaching negotiations. The Knglisli commissioiK rs are e.xjiected here alxjut the end of the lirst week in November. In- struct'ona will be given to the I'. S. Cus- toms ollii:eH to extend to them the coiirte- sieg usually accorded visiting diplomats in the matter of free adini>-Bion of (lerBonal et'fecls, etc. It is the prese'il intention to have the negotiators meit in the Depart mi nt liuiMing. and the large room near the S. c retai)'8 otiiee, known as the iliplomatii: rec ption r(K)in, will be set apart for their couttultatioiis. riKND.S IIMIINO.

A Corunna, Mich., despatih fiaVH : Ther has Ik'.ii c-onhi.l. rable excitement here over a so called nuraile which ociiirred to Mrs Andrew i;idridge, wife of a reBja'ctahle man living f.irmany jears in this city. In nearly her own words the following is her version of the matter as given : ' I have been Hick for years. Two years ago this month I Biilhred a stroke of para- h sis of the entire right side, iiKltidiny both ixtremities. For ninety-eight days 1 was blind and a|>eechleB8.

It is believed a plot exists to attempt Mr. Balfour's murder on that occasion. The Chief Secretary is, therefore, being closely guarded night and day. A London cable says : In reference to the statement of Commissioner Monro, of the detective de|>artment, at the inquest over the body of Cohen, the alleged dynamiter, yesterday, that Gen. Milieu, the head of the Clan-NaGael Society, was in London during the .Jubilee, the police state that Millen has never set foot in England. They say he resided at Boulogne and I'aris. A detective called on him at Boulogne before the Jubilee celebration and warned him that be knew of the plot against the (,jueen. Millen then tied to Paris. From there he went to Brussels, then to Rotterdam and from that city to Amsterdam. At the latter place he took passage, with his wife and daughter, on the 'J2iid of this month, on steamer Kdam for New York. With re- gard to Melville, the London agent of the society, the ixilice say that when he arrived in London he took lo<lgings in a mean quar- ter ill Gladstone street, and was in iinpe- cunioui circumstances. Melville had visited Joseph Nolan. Irish member of I'arliaiiu'iit, in company svith Michael Hawkins. Both Melville and Hawkins had been seen in Cohen's company. Melville went to Paris and saw Deiinehey and Maloney, who sailed for America on Aug, 17lh. Dennehey is a ineiiibt'r of the C'lan .\a Gael ,Society and resides in Brooklyn. Melville returned to London in a more prosperous condition. He lived at the Metropole Hotel and spent money fre<ly. He was constantly in the eompany of a Mi-s Kennedy, with whom he traveileil through Ireland and then to Paris. They lived in grand style. In Paris he calleil on General Millen at the Hotel dii Palais. .Melvillehnally sailed from Havre on Sept. 17th for New York. Miss Kennedy ai'eoiiipani< d linn. On reaching New York Miss Kennedy was arrested for smuggling. Bnrchall'H sildress in Philadelphia is L',.'>21 North Sixth street.

A UI.\HOI-ICAL I'LOT, A Brooklyn Lady Fatalljr Injured by the Kxplosion Ufa I'ackuseâ€" Her Little Uoy Biully Hurt. A New York despatch says : About 10 o'clock on F'riday night a young rain, aged about 21 years, dressed in the garb of an Amc>ri.;an District Telegraph messenger, presented hiisself at the residence of Mr. •Joseph Weischler, of the dry goods firm of Weischler A Abrahams, of Brooklyn, at ;i2il Wahliington avenue, in that city. To the servant who o[)ened the door he handed a small package addressed to Mr. Weischler. That gentleman not being home, the pick- age was carried to Mrs. Weischler. On opening it ahe found two small boxes, ore of which was made of paper and the other of wood. The latter had a sliding top and she attempted to open it. She had only pulled the top a little when there was a sudden explosion, ami she sprang to her feet screaming with pain, while her boy joined her with his cries. The servants rushed into the room and found Mrs. Weischler in a terrible condition. Herface and hand were badly lacerated and she was almost blinded. The boy, too, was rolling about the tloor in agony from the pain caased by lacerations of his face and (lands. An examination showed that the faces of Mrs. Weischler and her eon were tilled with small pices of metal which had been driven into them by force of the ex- plosion. The boy, while painfully hurt, is not considered to be in any danger, but in the caue of Mrs. Weischler it is feared that lockjaw may set in and that her death is c<rtain. Ttie most careful and minute ex- amination failed to disclose any trace of the explosion, and the |X)lice are unable to say or even to guess what it was. There waa no sign of any machinery to have worked an explosion, and none of the little bits of metal about similar to those which were driven into the face of Mrs. Weischler and her son. Where the explosives and the pieces of metal were kept is a thorough pu/./.le. The only reasonable explanation offered was that some new kind of chemical oompound had been used, which, occupying a small space, has tremendous force and is exploded by a slight friction. The boxes will be thoroughly and carefully e.xamined by experts, and it is possible that some- thing may yet be found which will lead to the discovery of just what the explosive was. AN INTERK-STINO DISCOVERY. The Warrant for John Runyan's Arrest Found AiuonK 8onie Old I'apers. Family Everybody who has read or has heard read in childhood, as the majority have, .John Bunyan's story of his dream' of the Pilgrim's Progress will be interested to learn that the warrant for his imprison- ment has been discovered among the papers of the liescendants of one of Bunyan's fel- low victims. The following is the story, as told in the London Tinift, of the discovery, and the text of the warrant : On the accession of the Danby Ministry, the policy of toleration towards Nonconfor- mists was reversed by proclamation date<l February 3rd, 1074.5, all conventicles were suppressed, and all licenses to preach with- drawn. Bunyan was left at the mercy of his enemies, who struck at him with all possible speed. The movers would be Sir W. Beecher, an M.P. for the borough. Sir George Blundell, and Dr. Foster, Chancellor of Lincoln, three of the magistrates connected with the lirst imprisonment â€" bitter harassers of Dissenters. All three had distrained for tines, and Foster, as Commissary of the Archdeaconry Court, had in the year ItjtW-y alone intlicted 1,400 of these fines.
