O'SHEA ON THE STAND. His Revelations Create Quite Sensation. HE IDERTIFIESPiRliELL'SSlGliTURE The Kilmamham Treatyâ€" Parnell and the Fenians. A Ust (Wedneedtyl night's IjOndon despatch Bkyu : The i'arnell CommiBsion resumed its sitting this morning. Attorney- General Webster called Captain U'Bbea to the witneHH stand. Cnpt. U'Bhea stated that at Mr. I'arnoll's rrqaust he conferred with Mr. UliulstOQO in June of Issl. The interview waH accomplished witbuiit the knowled|>e of Mr. ParuoU's colleagues. After Mr. (Uadstone's epkoch, made in the House of Commons, May ICtb, lna2, Mr. I'arnell spoke of the awkwardness of the â- peeih and how it annoyed ligan and others. Negotiations were discontinaud until iss.t, when Messrs. I'arnell and Dillon were iu Kilmainhain jail. The proposals which the witness made to the Government in lHh2 were made withoat the aothority of Mr. i'arnell. Certam members had re- plied to them in Parliament about the time that Mr. I'arnell was released. After the latter's return from Paris he conferred with the witness at the latter's bouse, •nd at these conferences they were always alone. Captain O'Bhea stated that Mr. Parnell desired to release Michael Davitt from imprisonment, but not Brennan. The Irish leader also author- ized tho witness to confer with the Govern- ment, and said that if the question regarding the arrears in rent was settled â- atisfactorily he would advise tb>' tenants to pay their rents, and would himself de- nounce as outrages all resistance to law. Mr. I'arnell said that be had power to carry oat this guarantee. The witness continued â€" Mr. Pftrnoll said that Bberidan would be a moat useful man io the work of putting down boycotting if he could only see and converse with him. Boy ton and Egan would also be useful, he â- aid, if they could be convinced of the wisdom of the proposed new policy. When Mr. Parnell was in Kilmainhamjaila letter was written and signed by him, which wit- ness took the next inorniug to Mr. Korster, then Chief Becretary for Ireland. The latter was afterwards presented to the Cabinet. Attorney -General Webster here read the letter. It expressed Mr. i'arneU's opinion that if the arrears <jacBtion were settled he and his colleagues would be able to suppress oatrageu. It urg^^d the importance of •grarian legislation, and concluded by say- ing that " if the programme sketched was carried out, it would enable ua to co- 0{>erate cordially in the future with the Liberal party in forwarding Liberal principles." " Alter the letter had been written," continued Cant. U'Bhea, " Mr. Parnell â- aid be would tell Dillon and O'Kelly, letting them know as moch as wsh good for them." 3'he day after tho I'bci nix I'ark murders, Mr. Parnell showed witness iiri: \.MI Ml'IlhEIl MANIttSi" which it had been decided to issue. " It was a mistake," said the witness, " to say that Mr. Parnell was not in favor of the manifesto. He only disliked tho amount of bombast in the document, hut be aaid that that was necessary in order to satisfy Davitl's vanity." (Laughter, in which Mr. Parnell and Mr. Davitt joined.) "About this time," went on the witness, " Mr. Par- null told hini that bo had been obliged to ask for [lolice protection, as his life was in danger. WitneHH, iu a eubieijuent inter- view with Mr. I'arnell, warned him that Bhcridan was a murderer and a conooctor of murders and the policR could not allow him to remain in thecoantry. Mr. Parnell replied that he did not communicate with Bberidan i>ersonally, but knew some one who did. Ho asked that a month be given him to iMimmunicale with Bberidan. Beven letterH were here shown the witness, who declared witli certainty that tho singftture attached to tbeiii was that of Mr. Parnell IMF. C'llOKHKXilMlNATIOS. Hir Charles UusBell here asked the court to purinit him '.o postpone tbecrossexami nation of the witness. He said the latter part ii( U'Bliea's evidence came upon him as a surprise, and it was impossible to do justice to his clients in the cross exaniiua. tion without preparation, .lustice Uannen said he could nut perceive any good reason (or po8ti>oniiig tho croHs-eiaminatioii. Kir Charles Kussell tlioreupon decided to proceed, and Capt. O'Kliea, in reply to i iu i|uestioiiu, said tliat Mr. liiickle, editor ol the I iiift, had aiiked .loseph Chamburlaiii to get hini to give evidence. Mr. Cham- berlaiii slioweil witness Mr. linckla's letter in July last. Witness did not agree to give evidence, however, until he had hpen auh. p<i'Tiaed by Air. rariiell. Mr. Houston, Becretary of the Irii^h Loyal I'nion, Haw him take down in shorthnnd his statement (or the I lines. .Mr. Houston told him it Wis A HTATE KKI'llKT how the 7'imeiigot the letters it had pub lisheil. Mr. Chamberlain tuld him that Mr. Parnell aocuBed him of proeurinK fao â- iinilu letters and of dining with Mr. liucklu. Witness had huanl I'lggott and Callan mentioned as the men who had given the letters to the Timfs. Witncaa knew Patrick Casoy, but did not know him as a liyiiainiter. lie had heard through a Nationalint named Mul>|iieeny that tho police hud found a letter in tho Lua(>oe's rooms in London, in which Frank Byrne acknowledged tho receipt of a oheiiue from Mr. Parnell, which had been sent to him to enable hini to escape from tho nountr\ , but the authorities had assured him that no such litter had heun seized, lie did not know that Mul'jueeny was a moiiiber of a ueoret society, lie knew him as an ad- vanced Nationalist that is an old Fenian, whose views were difforont from both tho dynamiters and Inviiicibles. Muhjueeny had been threatened with death by Uen. Carroll Davis and Hayes, the civil engineer, who was supposed to have conceived the London bridgo outrages. MuKjiieeiiy had fjiveii offence by joining other advanced Nationalists in signing a protest against witness' exclusion from Parliament by Mr. rarnell. Hir Charles Russell â€" Did yon ever threaten Mr. Parnell'/ The witness Threaten him? How do yoo moan 7 I have been angry with him, I and onoa I turned him out ot my rooms in Dabhn. Bir CbarlcH Kussell â€" Why did you turn bim out '! Witness -I told bim to get out, as I did not want to sec him again. Bir Charles liussell â€" Have yon over said you would be revenged on Mr. Parnell? The witnessâ€" I never remember saying so. Bir Charles Kussell â€" Have you ever said that you had a shell charged with dynamite to blow him up? Witness answered " No." To further questions the witness replied that he saw the original of the fao simile of one of the Timet' letters last week. He believed tho writing was Mr. I'arneU's. He had not heard before that the Tii'ie.i bad published the fao simile. Tbera were in existence compromising letters and docu- ments, and it had been said that lie was engaged in a conspiracy to get these letter?, but he had never stabbed a man behind bis back. He had been anxious to give evi- dence in order to clear himself and to refute the slanders which had been circu- lated by Mr. I'arnell and his colleagues. Mulijueeny had told him that Mr. I'arnell had paid (or tho escape of Byrne. He did not know Mulijueeny's address. He saw him last Saturday. He could not recollect paying Mulqueeny's expenses to Paris in urder to get signatures to the protest iigainst witness' exclusion from the I'ar- nellite party. Returning to the Eilmain- bam jail treaty negotiations, witness said the chief conditions of the negotiations were that the League should be broken up if tho Irish landlords would reduce their rents and receive compensation from the exchequer. Many of the memoranda which hb had made were destroyed in \^<'^'i, when there was danger of a Kcleot Committee of Parliament being appointed to inijuiro into the Kilmainbam treaty, and it was intimated to him that the ntmost reticence ought to be observed on the subject. Bir Charles Kussell â€" Intimated by whom? Witness â€" By Bir William Vernon Har- court, who said it was the opinion of another person, namely, Mr. Gladstone. This statement caused A NEShATlON IN TIIK CoinT, and Justice Hannen asked that everybody abstain from manifesting their feelings dur- ing the proceedings. Bir Charles Kussellâ€" Was it then yon destroyed the memoranda ? Witness Yes. Certain memoranda which were in another box and which in- cluded some of Mr. Chamberlain's letters esca|)ed destruction. It was Mr. Glad- stone's wish th>( I bhonid be as reticent as possible, from motives of political expedi- ency. The facsimile of the 7iffi<«' letter was again handed to witness, and he said that he was decidedly of the opinion that it was Mr. Parnell's writing. He bad never discussed the question as to how the Timei became possessed of it, because he did not know. When he lirst saw the letter in the Timet he did not think it was genuine. This was not because of any peinliarity in the writing, but becanso he could not undoretand why Mr. Parnell should say. " You may show him this, but do not tell him my address." Witness said he never had any doubt about tho signa- ture. He had had numerous letters from Mr. Parnell of about the same <late as tho letter refuriud to, and could not mistake tho writing. I'nder cross examination by Mr. Hnaly, witness stated that when be contested Gal- wav for Parliament the Parncllites attacked iiml denounced him in every way in their power. Tho conrt then adjourned till to-morrow. The Liberal Radical I'nion has formed a London committuu on the I'arnell fund, and has issued a special appeal for sub- Bcriptions to tho fund. huSlKTUlNO UVKLV. The proceedings were enlivened by Mr. G'Khea's examination. I ho court was crowded, the I'arnetlites being present in full forco. MohBrH. Parnell, T. Harring- ton, Davitt, Arthur O'Connor, T. M.IIealy and Uiggar kopt cloee watch on tho pro- ceodinga. O'Bhea proved a good witness, giving his evidence in a calm, matterof- fai't way. He was clear on the smallest detail and equally uool and precise during the cross examination. His narrative of tho Kilmainbam negotiations, though largely a matter of history, was listened to with rapt attention. Kxpectation was at its height on the production of the alleged forged letters. Would the witness show any hesitation regarding tho sigiiaturo 7 Ho must know it well. Taking up a totter he scanned it with careful deliberation for a few moments and then uai I in a distinct tone, without over emphaHiB : " It is Mr. I'arnell'B signature." Several other letters wire aurutini/'.ed in the same way and evoked tho sanio unqiialilled Htattinent : " It ia Mr. PiuiibII'h signature." Tho most striking point elicited by tho cross examination waa his charging Bir Will. Ilarcoiirt with coming as an emis- sary from Mr. (UadBtouo to warn him to preserve tho utmost retioenco in regard to the " Kilmainhani Treaty." Although tho witnoas dill not allege that Bir Wm. liar court advised tho destruction of the memo- randa, ho explicitly Btated that it was on tho hoaringof Mr. (iladstono's wish that he destroyed the documents. TllKV llOTII FOroIlT HIIV. Bir Charles Russell's cross-examination waa expected to elicit tho reason for tho rupture between O'Bhea and Parnell, but both aides chose to leavo this unravelled. The witness stated that up to June, INsi'i, ho believed in Parnoll'a honor and knew that he waa opposed to outrages. Neither Bir Charles Uiiasull nor Bir Richard Web stor proceeded to inquire as to what cauaed him to disbelieve in I'ArneH'a honor. Whatover waa the cause of the rupture, the animus of tho witneBS was appaien >. 'i'he I'arnellites probably felt the i|iiiet malig- nity of the evidence more Keenly than tho best-infermed outsider. A cablegram was reoeived to-day from Principal Grant, dated Hong Kong. It bore only one wordâ€" " Homeward." The King of Holland is better to-day. He ia in no immediate danger, hut bis te covsry is considered hopeless.

THK STA.NLET E.XPKDITION Seen by Arab Traders In NovaBiberâ€" Xx parlcnces ot the Bxpeditlon. A Zanzibar cable aays : Couriers from Tabora bring direct news from the Stanley expedition, a portion of which was met at the end of November, 18U7, by Arabs trad ing between Lakea Victoria Nyani^a, Nzige and Tabora. These Arabs met Stanley's rear guard at a point west of Albert Nyanza, soatheast of Bangu, just as the ex pcdition waa preparing to cross swamps caused by the radiation of the streams that abound in that country. The Arabs did not see Stanley. The detachment seen coneiated of thirty men. They stated that Btanley was two days ahead. The expedi- tion bad Buffered greatly on the march through a thick forest, where it was im- possible to advance more than a mile and a quarter daily. They bad also suffered in the marshes, where many had disap- peared or died. Forty were drowned in orossing a great river flowing from eaat to west. One white man bad died. Btanley waa obliged to fight some tribea that refused to supply bim with provisions. The expedition had often baited in the ex- pectation of receiving reinforcements from the Congo. The rear guard at the time met bad only been on the march five days after a halt of three weeks due to the ill- ness of Btanley and a great part of the eacort, who had been attacked with fever. The Arabs estimate the total strength of the expedition after all loases at 250 men. The health of Stanley was then good. The rear guard, which consisted of natives of Zanzibar, stated that Btanley bad decided that ho would no longer advance in a northeaBterly direction, but would strike toward the north, hoping to avoid the swamps. After getting a certain distance north be intended to take an oblique line to the eastward and go straight toWadslai, where, it was thought, be would arrive fifty days later, or about the middle of January, 18M3. The Arabs were of the opinion that the expedition was still strong enough to reach Wadelai. A London cable says : It will be remem- bered that on Augna't Ist information was received from Zanzibar that two messengers had arrived there who bad left the interior about the beginning of April, and who reported that Btanley had not arrived at Wadelai up to that time. The niessengers stated that in the month of March Emim I'aBha did receive some vague and indeci- sive news of the explorer, which had fil- tered through from tribe to tribe, but that tho reports were very contlicting. Some declared that Btanley after losing a number of men and a large portion of his supplies was hemmed in by hostile tribes between the Maboda country and the Albert Nyanza, while other rumors were to the effect that ho had been attacked by the tribes in the Matongora Mino district, and after several conllicts bad diverted bis course in an un- known direction.

A Fall River, Mass., despatch says : For generations the large farm on Horse Neck, W'estport, has been in the bands of the I'^ddy family. Throe generations back was Ainasa Kddy, who was a pirate under (.'apt. Kidd. When Kidd came to his untimely end Eddy returned to his farm and gained a good reputation. He placed l,;'iJO Spauish sUver coins in a kettle and buried it on his farm. Kddy died at the agn of '.II and left a document, drawn up in tho traditional style, leaving the buried trea- sure for tho 0-9 of his descendants when they desired a little ready cash. Amasa Kddy, his son, .vas LieutenantGovernor of Rhode Island, n conservative man, who put no faith in tho tales of buried gold. His son, James M. Kddy, runs a hotel just out- side of Providence. Ho owns the family (arm at Westport and the document came into hia possession.

Kddy is not through searching and is con- tident still that thereare more hard Spanish doubloon» boned on the farm. There is little doubt that the treasure is the long lost store of Capt. Kidd.

An Odd Oourtship and a Queer Way of Bleaching the Eair. iCousln Kate's Weekly Bndeet.) Latett Parlalsn Concelti In Costuiiies. A Paris correspondent writing last week says : Being admitted to the inner satc- tuary of an establishment near the Rue de la I'aix, I had a g'.'mpse of a eeries of gowns for various crowned leads, as well as queens of fashion in Europe and America. One of the prettiest of this firm's crea- tions was for the Duchess of Morny, the South American beauty, and daughter of General Gn/.man- Blanco, Brazilian Am- bassador to Paris. 1 be costume was a dinner gown of cream and white brocade, with a corsage cut in form of a directoire casaque, decollete, and fastened with large ivory buttons. The petticoat was of yel- low satin, draped with yellow gao/.e and cream lace, and at the belt a long green saah. A Une«n'it Gala Oown. The Queen of Greece bad ordered a gor- geoQB dress to be worn at the Greek jubilee which will Boon take plar^ The founda- tion of the costume waa o. pink velontine, but it was completely draped with white gauze, magnificently embroidered with silk of ancient colors and gold threads, and finished with a fringe o( gold, bine, pink and yellow. The decollete bodice waa finished with the same regal embroidery. Another gown (or the Greek Queen was a little dinner dress of tiame colored crepe de chine. The plain train was finished with delicate fringes of black jet and the decol- lete bodice uf fire hued crepe was tied with narrow black riboons. A garden party costume of the same order was of pale blue crepe de chine, made with the selvage edges showing and draped with blue gauze. For Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt was finiahed a snperb dinner dress of white satin trim- med with castor fur and gold and silver embroidery. The long princess train ia finished with fur and embroidery around the full length. A scarf of rose colored crepe, embroidered, comes from the aides to tie in front. A house dress (or Mrs. Vanderbilt had the entire back made of plain rose ailk and the front draped with pink crepe de chine, embroidered with garlanda of rosea and leaves in colors. A wide sash of green moire ribbon was tied in front, catching up the gauze in a festoon. Another visiting toilet for the same lady waa a brocaded black velvet, with straight skirt, trimmed with black jet. The mantcan was of the same material, closely fitted in front, but open Bufijciently to ilisplay the vest of black jet.

" A shapely little Philadelphia blonde who ia stopping at a Second avenue hotel," aaya the New Y'ork Jounuii, " has been the object of much admiration and envy on ac- count of her magnificent golden hair, which has all the sparkle of ohampagiie and glit- ters like diamond dust. The wonderful color she attributes to the daily sun baths she gives her tresses. She has had an enormous straw hat made from which the crown has been cut, and she sits with this on her head for at least an hour every day in the aun on the roof of her house, llur hair is spread out on top of the brim, which also shades her face, and the result of thin treatment is a mass of ahimmeriug treases that a poetic minded admirer haa compaied to ' diatilled sunshine.' These aun baths for tho hair are said to be of Venetian origin, and American blondes will tind that no chemical process will give them equal results." A Very O.ltl CoiirtNhl|.. Here is a curious coartship story from Wanhington ; Creorge Bieman wooed Mias Mali, daughter of Rabbi Bernstein. When asked for bis daughter the worldly, as well as godly, father replied; " If you mean business, aa you say you do, you place in her bands $500 as a guarantee that you will be on hand at the appointed time. If you ajipear the money bekmgs to yon and your wife, and if you fail to api)ear oho keeps the money.'' " \ery good," answered Bie- man, who subsequently produced the S500, which he )ilaoed in the hands of Miss Mali. Subseiiuently Hienian explained to hia prospeotivo father-in-law that ho waa suffering from heart disease and rheuma- tism. He told the rabbi how hia daughter might becomo a widow at any moment should they got married. He iinally de- cided that ho had better not get married, and agreed to forfeit the SoOO. Thus the matter waa settled, and Bieman still re- mains a friend of tho family. The Snlpiied-iiiTNealsklu. The day of the long aealakin cloak is about over.

Fresh From Vanity Fair, Birds' wings and taila and quill feathers are much used in millinery, but whole birds are no longer seen on bats or bonnets. The very latest fancy in waists of gowns for grown woman is the gnimpe bodice, very much like the guimpe waists of little girls. The variety in styles of wraps, bonnets, bats, gowns and materials this fall makes it a dreis-as-you-please season and no mistake. The wide English sash, passed twice around the waist and knotted low on one side, is seen on numbers of imported fall coatutnes. Green is an extremely fashionable color, and in its various shades of emerald, lapis lazuli and beryl is fashionably combined with blues, olives, browns and dull reds. The ends of ribbon bows and the fringes o( cut cloth are given the finish of passe- menterie spikes or balls on many of the dressiest garments for big and little people.

Lord Fit^hardinge and friends, who have been shooting ill tho neighborhood of Lairg, have occasionally taken a quiet drive or sail on a Sunday afternoon. In public meeting, under tho clmirmaiiahip of Rev. Mr. Noble, the local Free Kirk minister, it was resolved that " pleasure sailing" and "driving about in vehicles " were " a pro- fanation of the Sabbath, ami offence and grief of the religious population, an annoy- ance and distraction of church going peo- ple on their way to and from the sanctuary, and a general lowering of the moral tone of the community."
