Philadelphia, Pa., July 81.?City Treasurer Wright has written a lettor to Auditor General McCaraant in reference to certain practices in connection with tho mercantile appraiserahip system in this city. From tho facts grouped together by Treasurer Wright, it appears that the glaring abuses have existed and especially in the collection of delinquent mercantile taxes. Last year G.550 delinquent suits were broucht before magistrates at a cost of $31,194 20, resulting in the securing of judgments in but 240 cases and tho collection of $2,075 60. Tho State was thus mulcted for $28,807 70 in this single item. In addition to this 10,307 nnnies wore stricken from tho list by the appraisers after they had boon paid 02} cents per name for classifying them and had aclvortised them at an additional expense of $100 per name to the State. Treasurer Wright charges that exemptions have been mado for political reasons, and with any diligence tho appraisers should have known that the persons afterwards exempted should not have been put in tho list at all. .In all it is shown that $007,000 of State money was wasted In this way last year. For the present year the appraisers havo returned the large number of 10,970 delinquents and havo exempted 8,778 persons, while only 9,332 havo paid tlio tax.

DILLON AND O'BRIEN WW Have Nothing to Do With Farnell and His Fight. THE GREAT FIRE ESCAPE HERO Rapidly Dwindling In Publio Estimation and His Catuo Going to the Bogs?-Prominent Parncllltcs Sec Their Hopes Waning. OoptjHphifti bv the yew York Auoelated Prw. Lo.vdo.v, July 31.?Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien's repudiation ot Paroeli, though a foregone conclusion, has profoundly depressed tho Parneilites, who relied upon a belief that both would suspend a public pronouncement.. Sir. l'arneli sought, through private communications made on the ever of their release, to resumo negotiations, but neither responded to theso secret overtures. Mr. l'arneli hoped until the last moment yesterday that he would again entunglo them in manouvroa tora reunion. Their prompt and decisive declarations as soon as they wore outside the prison doors, and their refusal to listen to any advances from the Pnrncllites, fell like a death blow 'on tho Parnellites. The last flicker of hope went out when tho Lord Mayor of Dublin and other devoted 1'nriiellites vainly tried to induce Mr. O'Brien, who was supfio.'ed to bo more ductile than Mr, Dilon, to reconsidor the position. Mr. O'Brien bluntly declined a renewal of the Boulonge negotiations or any approach thoreto. When tho attitude of tho released leaders became definitely known tho chief Dublin Parnellites held a meeting privately and had a warm time disputing over tho courso tlioy should take. An intimation reached them of the desertion of tho party organs in Dublin and Belfast and several members of theTarnellite committo withdrew, leaving the Btoadfast adliercuts to pass a resolution denouncing Dillon and O'Brien and urging Mr. l'arncll not to yield. To-day -Mr. Parnell telegraphed to tho committoo that defofoctions on every aide would not make liiin alter his courso a hair's breadth. He proposes on Sunday to speak at Thurles, the strong ecclesiastical centre in Ireland, probably, anew to hurl defiance at the bishops and to prophesy his future triumph. But tlio truth now penetrating the stoutest I'arncliito hearts is that thoir cause is nigh extinct, and that it will be useless to contlnuo the struggle. If continued it will no longer have a constitutional character. The composition of the League sections now adhering .to Parnell points to the reversion of the faction to the old Fenian type. It is safe to predict that Parnell will soon appeal for the support of revolutionary partisans abroad. Mr. Parnell's personal embarrassment docs not appear to have been relioved by marriage. Ho has made an extraordinary claim against Captain O'Shca fori.'),600 ndvauced to him between Snnlnmher. IftKfl. and November. 1690. partly during tho period of tho divorce proceedings. Captain O'Shoa denies tho debt. Curious disclosures nro exported on Sir. l'arncll's attempt to prove tho claim. , A CONTROVERSY As to Whother the Czar's Edict Agnlnit tho Jovh Htm lluon lleloxud at tlio Distance of tho United States Government.

Tho Dunlap-Dalioit agency, tho authority for tho first dispatch, agoin assorts that tho State Department at Washington has received tho information referred to, adding that tho information was received direct from tho Stato Departmeut, and that it has not denied tho truth of tho Dunlnp-Dalziot statement in tho United States. Aui itnon-n 01 norv. Washington', D.
