Net- ther threw any Mght on the case and the principal feature of their evidence was the contradiction of her hus- band's evidence given last Saturday, by Mrs. Rahkonen, and the emotion of the boy. Ms. Rahkonen' evidence wa salso praotlcaly valueless to either side, as she knew nothing about the material point. She heard Gabriel Jarvl she only knew him by the name C(abrlel-nock at the front door of the house and then walk around to the rear door and knock. He was swear, ing and said they were all oraxy and that he would put them in the Insane asylum at Salem.

Her evidence was so vague that It wa of but httlo' value. When closely interrogated about ma terial points she could not hear them or knew nothing about them from the fact that she was attending- to her children.

The pro-Boer demonstration In the House of Commons whn the new of Lord Methuen's capture was announced has been taken greatly to heart by Englishmen. They have been almost as much humiliated by the Irish reecptlon of the disaster as by the dis aster ttself. One Iri nilWt has written to the Times, disassociating himself from the demonstrators, but he is not an Irish leaguer, and nis anti Roerism is almost certain to cost him hla seat at the next election. A great majority of the Irish people are strong ly opposed to the Boer war, end would gladly see It ended by an acknowl edgement of the Independence of the South African republics. Speaking at a Nationalist meeting at Glasgow last night, John Dlllion. M, P., called for cheer for Delarey, and the audience responded heartily. English Radicals fail to understand this attitude.
