K?w Sarin of Anicln HelMlng to Amtrtcfc London, May 13L?The Timet has resumed pub lication of regular articles intended to show a con nection between "Parneilism and Crime." The present series of articles is entitled "Behind the Scenes in America." The matter is the result of an inquiry, which the Timet says it instituted last summer, m the relation* between the American Fenians and the Parnellites, and purports to con tain a number of the secret records of the Clan-na Gael Society, obtained through achlsm in the socW ety and quarrels among its leaders. Among the documents published are what is alleged to becop les of the constitution of the society, lists of its officers at various epochs, letters from its past ana present leaden, secret circulars and reports of tne society's conventions. ^ _ The Timet says Its inquiries are not yet com plete, for the reason that the socelty has been re organized, so that Its system of wortlng has be come a seemingly impenetrable mystery. Editorially commenting on its present revela tions, the TimcKSixya: "it is impossible to doubt that the policy of the Parneilltes, and therefore, of Mr. Gladstone, Is ultimately dictated by the heads ol the society and by Patrick Ford." ? RIB. SAGE: CONTINUES. He Haw a Quiet Little Tiff Willi Com* mlssloner Anderson* New York, May 13.?The session of the Paclflc Railway commission was resumed to-day, with Russell Sage on the stand. He testified as follows: "For my sixth interest in the St. Louis pool secur ities I paid $200,220. 1 don't remember that any pai>er was shown me snowing the statement of the assets of the pool at the time of the transaction. Gould had five-sixths of the pool, but I under stand that he parted with a portion of his inter est, how much or to whom I do not remember. While Mr. Gould was In Europe he purchased of a Dutch syndicate a large amount of bonds ana stock, of which I took at cost fourteen bonds of Denver Pactnc, 3,582 shares of Btock and 100 re organization bouds for #100,000. On the 1st of January, 1880,1 owned 8,877 shares of the Kansas Pacific stock and 14,700 shares of the Union Pacinc stock, and, besides these, $758,000 In Kan sas Paclflc consolidated bonds, $181,000 in St. Joseph and Paclflc, $115,000 Kansas and Nebraska, and $94,000 in Denver and Boulder Valley. I bought the St. Joseph and Western and Kansas and Nebraska In open market. 1 think that some of these bonds were exchanged for consolidated bonds. 1 knew that Jay Gould was a large holder In Kansas and Nebraska and St. Joseph and West* em. I don't know how much of an interest be bad in this, or how large a holder he was in Kansas Pa cific at the tlmeof the consolidation. I suppose he acquired these securities by purchase, as other people do. 1 dont know what he paid for them. You can find that out very readily by putting him on the stand. Commissioner Anderson commenced to quote "Sufficient unto the day." when Mr. Sage inter rupted with: "Mr. Gould, I think, is very much like mysolL HI ATTENDS TO BIB OWN BCSINBS8. I do not know why Mr. Gould resigned as a director prior to the consolidation. 1 do not ques tion his motives; I am not In the habit of guessing people's motives. If he resigned because of his proposed dealings In the matter of the consolida tion, I don't know. It might have been a reason. He became a director aiterwara. I don't know that I presented Mr. Gould'B resignation as a i director of the Kansas Pacific on the day of the consolidation." The minutes of the meeting of the directors on that occasion were read, and Mr. sagerememberej that he moved the acceptance of Mr.- Goulds resig nation. The resignation was dated January 10. ! "I presume Mr. Gould requested me to make the motion, though I dont remember; I dont know that Mr. Gould was made a director on that same day after the consolidation. He remained a hard working and interested member of the board for a number of years afterward. "I know Solon Humphrie, connected with the firm of F. D. Morgan & Co. He has large railroad Interests, and has been connected in business with Mr. Gould In stock matters. I also know J. M. Dodge, and wrote a letter to both of them in October, 1879, with reference to the value of prop erty in the West and desirableness of Investments; also, with reference to the propriety of the con solidation of the Union Paclflc and Kansas Pacific." The question of the figures in the report of Messrs. Humphries and Dodge being exactly similar to those inserted In the of consolidation in an attempt to prove that Jay Gould and Sidney Dillon knew on Januard 10, Just what appoint ments would be made, was answered by Judge Dillon, Mr. Sage being unaDle to give the in formation. Judge Dillon said that he thought that he knew of it but a day or two before or per haps on the same day of the consolidation. ine examination of Mr. sage was continued with reference lo the details of the consolidated meeting of which he remembered very little, t hough they made a majority of the motions. He was asked with reference to the whereabouts of Government Director Chadwlck, who opposed the consolidation, and when the commission was informed that he was dead, the statement eli cited from Commissioner Little. THK GOOD DIB YOUNG. The witness was questioned with reference to the resignation of Jay Gould as director of the Union Paclflc at the consolidation meeting, as he was with reference to a similar resignation in the Kansas Paclflc meeting, but nothing more defi nite was elecited concerning Mr. Gould's motives. When asked if Mr. Gould did not ask him the day previous to move the acceptance of his resigna tion, the witness said: "Mr. uouidls not in the habit of telling me of the doing of anything until it is done." Con tinuing ne testified, "1 knew that the Kansas Pacl flc company had been considering the desirability of purchasing a larga number of securities of the St. Joseph ana western, Kansas and Nebraska, St. Joseph Bridge, &c ' jbX of these I understood to be furnished, by Jay Gould, but I don't know that he resigned as a director to make this sale. I consider that this action was most desirable, even so far as my trus teeship of the consolidated mortgage was con cerned, and experience has praven tnls to be so." Witness was of the opinion that these securities, exchanged tor consolidated bonds or stocks of the Kansas Paclflc at par were owned by different par ties. but the record of Controller Mink,or the Union Paclflc states that they were all sold by Mr. Gould, but Mr. Sage thought that Mr. Gould represented a great many holders In the deal, as the securities were largely and widely dealt in.

THE WORKS OF TBE PATKK80N IRON COMFANT TN RtTINB?LOSS OVER $250,000. Paterson, N. J., May 13.?It will be impossible for several days yet to flx the loss caused by the destruction of the works of the Paterson Iron Co. last night as it will take some time to In spect the machinery and see what can be saved or renovated, and the machinery constitutes the chief loss, some idea of Its value maybe gathered from the fact that the forge department, with Its machinery, cost $80,000; the steel-plate mill $100,000; the blacksmith department $40,000; and the face-plate lathe, with its found* ation, $15,000. The buildings are total ruins. Some of the figures named, however; were prices paid in inflated times. The best estimate that can be made places the loss at from $250,000 to $300,000. The insurance aggregates 175,000, divided among a number of oompanles. The flames started in the puddling department of the steel plate mill and was caused by sparks from lrou under the hammer, which flew up to the root. The entire department was called out. The lire raged for about an hour. The chief owner of the works is Chas. D. Beck with, mayor of Paterson. Great sympathy is felt for him, as he was Just beginning to make the works pay after years of hard struggling. His mother and his brother, J. c. Beckwlth, also had an interest. The works will be rebuilt. I ?? ^ I'Med Kerosene on the Firs.

The people do not lorpet that alt through the campaign of 18?*, the clerks were stigmatised as "rascals" to be turned out, nor that laws hare been proposed1W examine all clerks appointed prior to July, 1NS3, with the assertion that they were appointed ?ritA oui examtUHtion. * March 3, 1853, congress parsed a law classifying the service, as It has Deen ever since and Is now, and Oxlng salaries. Then, section 104 says: "No clerk shall be appointed in ?my Ltepartmeni in either of the four classes above*designated until he has been examined and found qualified by a board of three examiners, to consist ot the chief ot the bureau or office Into which such cleric is to be appointed, and two other clerks to be sel??cted by the head of the Department," The law then fixes salaries for the four classes, as now exists, as also tor those lower than class one. 2. "Vacancies in the three hither grades are to be filled by selection and examination from among clerks In the lower grades No appointment to a clerkship of lhe first class will be made until the applicant shall have been designated for and passe*! a satisfactory examination." Then follows the rules tor making application, the scope ot examination, including those lower tbaji class one, &c. The quotations are from a circular sent out by the Treasury Department In lsTO to 1S83. This particular one was sent to an applicant in 1881. The law of 1883, and the rules ttiereou, diner trorn tlie law of 1S53, and the rules thereon, mainly in lour points: 1. i he applicant must pass his examination be fore designation, instead ot after. 2. The examination must be by a commission, instead ot a head ot Department. a Alter the best examination he may or may not be appointed. 4. The standard of fitness, instead of being pos itive and certain, is movable and uncertain. Not is he really competent, but Is he, as tested by this examination, better fitted than some one else. And the new rule proposes to apply comparative fitness to promotions. suppose a vacancy exists in class two, and there are thirty clerks in class one. They are called Irom tlielr work and all examined scholastlcally. The record of efficiency may show that the one who falls lowest scholastlcally Is most efficient. But one can have promotion, and he gets It, if the "au thorized" explanation In a morning paper is cor rect. There is no reasonable doubt that every clerk In classes one, two, three, and four has re ceived his appointment and promotions on exami nation, In which he proved, not comparative, but positive, fitness?unless there be exceptions under the law or 188& The promulgation ot new rule* seems to imply that somebody is defying both the old law and the new. Is it so? It It Is, some stronger restraint than the new rule Is needed. The law of 1883 repealed only so much of the law of 1S.">3 as was inconsistent with that ot I8h3, and that was lu the lour points above named. All the rest remains in loree. and is specially referred to In the legislation of 1883. Every clerk is acquainted with these laws. No one could be appointed if Ignorant or them. The Clvll-servlce commissioners know them. The out side people know of them. He who speaks, writes, or acts, as If Ignorant ot thein, Is laughed at. The principle of promotion on examination for positive fltuess has been applied more than 30 years. Why Is it now set aside and comparative fitness substi tuted? There is no doubt all clerks of classes one, two, three, and four can pass a reasonable exami nation, ror they nave done It, The fact that these new rules cannot improve the service, as every man in the service knows, produces the inquiry, what are they tort Is it to facilitate the removal or clerks, called "rascals," by the party in poweti Are political parties In this country to assume thf attitude of hostile nationalities? Then, indeed, the war is not over. At the close of the war and for a while afterward there may have i?een excuse for official ostracism of those bearing the old political party name, of those who tried to de stroy the Government, so much Is conceded to human passion. The people demand that the civil service snail be non-partisan. Perhaps the new rules are not intended to facilitate partisan promotions. Time will show. W. Healthy Radical Kentluient* SOKE PLAIN TALE AB0CT BOVALTY IS THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. In the house of commons last night the bill granting the Duke of Connaught, commander ol the forces In India, permission to visit England during the Jubilee festivities, passed its second reading by a vote of 318 to 45. In the course ol debate Lewis Dlllwyn, liberal, said there was a strong feeling In the country against the appoint* ment of exalted personages to positions of com mand over the heads of otners. fclr John Swinburne, liberal, condemned the sys tem under which royalties had the choice of tn? best places In the army and navy without having passed through the different grades, sir John sale the duke of connaught should retire in order thai some distinguished officer might take his place There was an enormous amount of Ineffective ser vice and waste of money in consequence of exaltec persons holding high rank. Mr. Labouchere denounced the bill as obsequious and servile. murdered for Her IVeaey, AN OLD I.ADY STBANGLED AND BOBBED BT NEK YOKK BOCUHS. At New Haven, Conn., Mrs. Margaret Ernst, aged 72 years, was murdered Monday night by a person or persons unknown. Tuesday morning, a milk man, who had delivered milk to Mrs. Ernst toi some years, while making his rounds was sur prised to find the front door wide open, and entering the house he found the old lady lying on a sofa bound hand and foot. She was dead. It was apparent that Mrs. Ernst had been mur dered for her money. She lay on a lounge In the front room. Her hands were securely tied together across her breast with a pocket handkerchief, while her limbs were tightly bound together with another handkerchief. A sheet w as wound around her throat so as completely envelop her head. Froth and blood at the mouth showed that the old lady had met a horrible death by strangulation. When the medical examiner arrived the gags and handkerchiefs were removed. Dr. White made an examination, and found that death was caused by strangulation. ?Mrs. Ernst owned the house where she lived. he house was occupied by five families. Mrs. Ernst lived In the basement, which was divided into six apartments. Mrs. Ernst kept a saloon up to January 1 last, but at that time sue announced that she had given up business, and told Officer Cannon that the reason was that If she kept on selling llQUors she would be obliged to close up several entrances to her place, according to law. Mrs. Ernst pretended to keep a temperance bar since she gave up her license, but the murder had shown that she was unlawfully continuing her business. The lounge on which she was found stood in a corner in front of the bar. Mrs. Ernst had not gone to bed at the time she was visited by her murderers, as was evideut irom the fact that she was completely dressed. The room directly In the rear of the Barroom was occu pied by the old lady as a bedroom. In this room everything was turned topsy tuny. The bed had been torn to pieces and evidently searched minutely by some one who expected to And money concealed there. The bureau draw ers were found lying all around the floor, and their contents overhauled carefully. The bosom of Mrs. Ernst's dress had also been torn open in the search for cash, as Mrs. Ernst was believed to carry sev eral hundred dollars on her person. The murdered woman was worth at least $?.'0,000, owned several houses and had money invested in mortgages and savings banks. The New York Herald. ^to-day says: Henry B? Chamberlain, alias Clark, a young New Haven "crook," and James F. Taylor, the proprietor of a thieves' "boozing ken" on Hudson street, have been arrested for the murder of Mrs. Margaret Ernst at New Haven. Inspector Byrnes says he has positive proof of tne guilt of the men. Wallace Ross Matched.?The Turf. Field and Farm says: "The proposition ot Wallace Ross to row Wm. O'Connor three miles tor $500 a side brought a quick response. On Monday we received by wire from Toronto: 'Will match O'Con nor to row Ross $300 a side June 6. Will give or take $75 expenses. Joseph Rodger*.' We sent for Ross, and on Tuesday he authorized us to reply that bp woulp accept to row In New York, but would like to have a day later than June 6 named. The answer of Mr. Rogers was: 'Will row on 6th of June or earlier. If this Is acceptable will forward articles.' On Wednesday Ross announced to us that he would make the race for June 6, to come off in the vinlty of New York, and Mr. Rogers was requested by wire to forward without delay artcles of agr e ment. O'Connor has waited patiently tor a race, and now he can get ready to row."

This Is somewhat remarkable, since earthquake even ot the mild?st manners. are apt to make a record tor ihetnasive* wherever they go. We are bound to conclude, t hen-fore, t hat during the first thirty years of pacific okni history either the good tat hers or the earth must have slept very profoundly. Probabllttien favor the notion that the profound sleeper must have been the earth. but after the year 1 *001 here arem* to hav* been an awakening. The earth la-came periurbed. An unquiet splrli segued to be moving trom lu csMcr to its rtrcururprence, and this spirit began Anally to materialize It sell in surface manlfe??t.atloiis. Th?* mission houses ot Southern California began to r\*at unsteadily on their foundations At laat, la the year 181?, the mission chur> b of SauJuan Caplstrano, in Los Angeles County, came turnb. ling down on the heads ot a large number of tbe worshiping congregation, and mauy persons were killed. At the same moment. <?r as soon thereafter as an earthquake could reach a point 100 miles disuuit, the miaeion church of puriasima. In Santa Barbara County, shared tbe asm* fate, and with precisely similar consequences. Timing Its movements to these events, the sea also, in Lbs neighborhood, retreated far out from it a abores, anu, having gathered tone. It returned in a roar ing suecessjon of great waves that went thunder, ing inland until uiey finally broke down against the Impregnable hills. This finished the manifes tations for a time, or at least wem* to have so far broken the back of the subterranean demon that he had no strength left u? produce auythlng more startling titan an occasional shake, winch, from Ita feebleness, could be productive of uo greater disas ter than a panic. Down to the year I860, although there were unquestionable shakes, at intervals not too long to be remembered, not lung ot sufficient importance occurred to take a place in general history. Tbe manifestations of unsteadiness In. the globe were only sufficiently violent to keep adve a scientific ftiterest In the subject. Since 1850 a close record has been kept, and we know Precisely how many Ume* California has been shaken in whole or In part, and, while it must be admitted that the occasions nave been frequent enough to give the Ban Francisco Acade my ot Science an apparently endless theme for discussion, and to make tbe Institution seem like sn articulate seismometer, It cannot be said that much harm has been done. In the year 1850 there were live shocks; in the year 1861 six, one of which was severe enough to break window*, throw down merchandise, and cause the ahlpa lu the harbor ot san Francisco to roll heavily. lu 1 852, a year not distinguished tor the number of slioi ts, there was one manifestation of sufficient, v loience to open a mud v oleano In tbe Colorado lfc-srrt. In lboU the number of shocks reached a total of fifteen, and some of the number were ee. vers*. The year 1M54 gave a total of 12; 1855, 11; 1K*>, 14; 1*57,17; ISoS, S; ISjM, same numbel, anu ih?hj, a total of only a. one ot these shocks, however, was severe enough to ring church bells only one shock startled California In l?6l. and tbe succ eeding two years gave an expenenoe oC omy two and me respectively. 1 bis la a lair Ulut tration of the irequchcy ot California earthquake shocks In these latter years, and while it will b? seen that tliey come often enough to Interfer ? wlta the populariiy of elevator buildings, they are net by any means continuous, nor violent enough to overcome the attractions ot a nne climate for per sons desirous of settling. But earthquakes are a source of considerable en tertainment in California, on Heptemtier 4. In tba year 1MW, a party were camping on the Kern River, In tue central portion of the Merra Nevada mountains. They had been disturbed a great detd daring the night by subterranean noises, bat tbifl was not thought a serious cause for uneaslnea?i. At 8 o'clock in the morning, however, there can<e the crisis. The subterranean muttering* sw elled Into a roar, tall trees were swayed to aud fro as though about to Oe prostrated, and huge boulder* were sent tumbling down the aides of the cliffs m tareatcnlng proximity to their encampment. They were obliged to decamp apeedlly and seek mora open ground, stimulated lu their movements by a succession of shocks?forty-one in the nrst hour by actual count. The disturbances continued up to the morning of the ?ih, and at that time tba sportsmen had counted 5oo shocks All parts ot the Pacific coast seem to offer verjr good tie Ids tor the study ot seismic phenomena, ir a student is <b-sirous ot obtaining his facta by ac tual observation.
