PBK- By Cable to tlie News and ObserT r. & Lospos, Oct 22. The commissffin appointed to inTestigate the charges made- by the Times against Iiish uiembc-ra of Parliament opened oojirt at 11 O'clock this morning. - Sir Charles Russell, as leadipg couDee' for Mr. Parnell, opened fhe proceedings by applying for a release from Wexford Prison of Mr. Willif m Redmond; .1 1 Justice Hannen, president of ' the commission, said tne same course would be adopted wit i Mr. Redmond aa in the ease of' Mr. John Dillon. His release must not be construed to mean that he had been g!nnted (m manitj from imprisonment. He would be Set free only under strict conditions. These would not allow of his takirg anj part in public life and would compel him to hold him self strictly a prisoner on parole. : Sir Charles Russell intimated teat for the present he would not iri&ist upon bis application for Redmond's release. DiBCussion then ensued upfm the length of time the court should sit weekly; Counsel for both sides concurred in the proposal to hold ses sions upon four dayB of each week, but the court decided to meet etjsy week day except Saturday, and aafcfgd counsel to expedite proceedings, vi Attorney General Webster opened the case for the Times. He promised tp give the court the fullesi. informa tion in the Times' power regarding the soprces of evidence against the Irish party which the Times had pub lished.! He would not treat the case as hav ing anything to do with the merits or demerits of Home Rule or of airy supposed burniDg Irish question. The inquiry was strictly into the specific1 charges made in the O'D&n nell action, against the,Timep, and be would be careful not to introduce queatiojus beyond these charges. Te& Attorney General then proceeded Jo review ;the Times articles on "Paf1 nellismf. and crime," going over the old ground. The court room was ell filled but was not overcrowded. Perfect order prevailed. Mr. Parnell and numerous1 other Nationalist mem bers of Parliament were present, Evidence would be furnished, safd Mr. Webster, to prove that ever since the JLand Jbeague was formed Mr. Parnelll and his colleagues were inti mately associated with Irish- Ame. icaii advocates of dynamite, and also to show that many nntraced crimes were due to incitement of both the Lan and National League. . Paracll Ctaalntn Harper" Weekly. On the 17th of September the spi cial commission appointed by the British; Parliament to examine into the charges made by the London Times against Mr. Parnell and othe Irish members of the House ef CooaK xnona held ita opening session. Thesf ohargei bad been embodied in a nes oi articles eaiiea "rarneuism ana Crime,? whose purpose was to con nect Mr. Parnell and his Parliament ary associates .with the Phoenix Park murders and the eo-called.'wsMaina-r tion fund," and in arguing their con plicity the Timet had introduced sua dry letters, which were promptly re pudiated by their alleged authors. One purporting to be signed by Mr. Parnell was denounced by him aa an absolute forgery. A suit was brought against the newspaper, and meati while Parliament I established an in.. vestigatirk commission, consisting of Judge Hannen, Smith and Day. Beta, sides were represented at the sestiOi by counsel, and counsel watched tlie ease also lor Mr. F. H.

But the Parnelf lites gained by the Commission a da eision ithat the letters and photo graph in the possession of the Timei, on which its charges were based, should be produced for their inspeel tion. These letters include thos attributed to Parnell, to Eean, anS to Campbell, Mr. P smell's secretar had suggested that if the newspaper should divulge at once all its sources of information, the thorough investi gation sought by the court might be baraedj but sir Charles Russell, for the Parnellites, urged that when & newspaper: had substantially charged 11 A 1 . 1 T T . , buaii meiuoers oi me nouse oi Liomf mons belonged to an illegal associaj tion, and where involved in the crime of assassination, nothing must be kept back.

Mr. Graham suggested the word "in formation" as a substitute for "char? ges," but judge Hannen insisted ofi the word "charges," and ruled that they must be formulated. Such wefe the main results of the opening session. Provision waa made for the release of Mr. Dillon on bail, in order to give evidence, and it was developed that two persons now it penal servitude for the Phoenix Park murders would be called, while both sides were anxious to have ceitificates of indemnity given to Patrick Egatj and others of America, that they might appear aa witneasea.

Accepted $674,100, all four and a halfs, at 108f The Inter-State Commerce Com mission today issued an order upon the railroad companies comprising the Southern Railway and Steamship Association directing them to appear before the. Commission in Washing ton on December 8th, 1888, at eleven o'clock a. m. for the purpoao of a gen oral examination and investigation of their tariffs and classifications. The order is based upon an inspection oi -tariffs and classifications and up-n in formation and complaints filed from time to time in the office of the Com missioner from which it appears among other things that the compa nies named in the order in many eases made a greater charge for the transportation of a like kind of prop erty for a shorter than for a longer distance over the same line in the same direction upon inter-state traffic; that the rates actually charged to shippers are not the rates given upon the schedules, but that so-called com bination rates are made, and special tariffs are issued tipon ' single ship ments and are limited in time. The following among others are the railroad companies named in the order a: Charlottee, Columbia and Augusta; Richmond and Danville; Seaboard and Roanoke; Wilmington and Wel don; Wilmington, Columbia , and Augusta. The Supreme Court today sus tained the constitutionality of the prohibition law in Iowa. The point at issue was the right to manufacture intoxicating liquors solely for expor tation to other States despite the State law, and it was pleaded that the prohibitory feature in so far as man ufacture for exportation is concerned was in conflict with the constitutional provisions giving Congress the sole right to regulate inter-State com merce. The case is that of J. 8. Kidd, distiller, plaintiff in error, vs. J. E. Pearson and S. J. Loughras. The court holds that the State law pro hibiting both manufacture and sale, except for mechanical, medicinal and aacramental purposes, is not in con flict: with the inter-State commerce provisions of the Constitution, and the decision of the Iowa court Is sus tained. Opinion by Justice feunar. Col. Carl a. WMdraff. The Topeka, (Kan ) Commonwealth, in speaking of a battery drill at To pkt commanded by Oapt. Carl A. Woodruff who is well known, and has many friends in this State, says : Lieutenant Colonel Woodruffs light battery of four pieces gave an t xhibdion . drill at 4 o'clock in front of the grand stand which was looked at with wide .open eves. How the unwie'dly looking carriag-es could be moved as dexterously as they were is what could not be exactly understood except by those who had seen service and knew all about it. The gunners rode on the carriages, as is the rule with a light battery, in stead of on horses, as they do with heavy artillery. When the battery came in on the parade ground a murmer of surprise went op from the grand stand. The loading and firing were done with Such Regularity that it seemed to be easy work. The canon were moved over aU parts of the ground and fired from all sides, and at every shot the earth was thought to quake and timid wo men would xclain "Oh !" It wa without doubt the grandest military display that has yet been givtn. ColODel Woodruffs light battery is the best -drilled and displayed and equipped in the army, ana the com mander is legarded aa the star artil leryman in the service. He takes es pecial pride in . haying his battery faultlessly drilled, and they enjoy doing their level best on all occasions. ilis lieutenants and uon commission ed Officers are able assistants, and tbey share in their colonel's desire to maintain the good name of the bat tery.

A rumor is current in this city that the Carolina Central has perfected a lease of the 3 C's road. A Chronicle reporter investigated the rumer, but could trace it to no solid basis. The railroad men here know nothing of it, though they had heard the rumor. "I believe, said one offioial, ''that the report had its , origin in the fact that the : Carolina Central and the 3 C's nave recently periected a tramo ar rangement, though I don't know any thing about it." There can be no doubt of the fact that a traffic arrangement has been perfected between these two roads, for the 13 C s has been delivering cotton to the Carolina Central, at Catawba Junction, at a lively rate Car of the South Carolina road, loaaea witn cotton, now daily run into Wilmington on the Carolina Cen tral road. Col. R. A, Johnston, sec eral manager of the 3 C's road, was in Wilmington jesteiday, and Wilming ton I is the Carolina Central's head quarters. The 3 C's and the 2 C's were at logirerheada for some time after the 3 ui commenced laying track from Shelby to liutherf ordton, and the two roads gave each other some lively tilts in the courts about rights of way, etc. To keep even with the 3 C's, the Carolina Central extended its line to Kutnerfordton and for some time the hostilities of the roads were well understood. The war now seems to be over and the 3 C's and the 2 C's are acting like brothers and actually exchange freight. The terms of the traffic arrangement are not known, but from the way the two roads are now humming business, they are evi dently satis f ictory to the authorities of each road. Thi Um Caoiplctcd.

Sam Jones, the great Georgia evangelist, who commenced a series of meetings here Saturday night preached three of the most powerful sermons yesterday ever listened to by Durham audience. .More than 3,000 people jostled together at each ser vice to listen to the words stern, plain truth as they feil from the T- m ai l-i l i a ips oi tne evangelist iiae not snot rom the mouth of a cannon. That Durham is aroused and aroused as she never was before is admitted by all. Just think! at-the second nights service more than 1,500 Chrietian peo ple jump up and say: "I'll do all in my power to help you eave.souls while in Durham." Then a hundred wives and mothers stand up requesting prayers for their husbands and- chil dren. Then nearly two hundred pro fessing Christians and Binners walk up and give the evangelist their hand, asking an interest in the prayers of all and promising to live better lives. Sam Jones is undoubtedly a great man, but he must be seen and heard to be appreciated. He is no orator. tie nas an utter disregard lor ora tory. He has his own peculiar way of delivering his Bermons, and to use his own expression the way he says things is all be has a patent right on Prof. E. O. .Excel!, a singer with few superiors, travels with Mr. Jones as his musical director. The choir of eighty voices organized for the meeting is an exceedingly good one, and a credit to Durham talent. Prof. Excell generally sings a sclo at each service which aib worth traveling miles to hear. Below are 'some of Mr. Jones' pithy and pointed utter ances which have set all Durham to thinking. HOW EE TALKED. While I am here in Durham propose to talk plain and speak the truth as I see it, and if you don t like the way things go on in this ware house, just remember the doors are wide open and admission to the streets costs you nothing. You can just rack out when you get ready. The moral shape of Durham is like a pancake, lou need to grow up wards. You have some rich men in Dur ham, who, if it were not for their money, negroes would not recognize them on the street. You need to travel to learn that character ont- weigh's all this universe. You folks set there and take one good square look at me for one minute, and then look at yourself the balance oi tne Jaour. There is not a bigger fool or lower down vagabonds in Durham than you leiiows who go to these barrooms around this town, and the men who run these batteries of h are as in fernal scoundrels as walks this green eartn.
