OTTAWA, September 15th. A sensation has been caused by Premier Mercier's speech on the independence of the province, to the effect that "Quebec dares Downing street or Ottawa to interfere further in Quebec legislation." He also denounced the vetoes of the Dominion government as inspired by English Protestant hatred of French Roman Catholics.

L', Flecteur, the Premier's personal organ, openly threatens the secession of Quebec from the Canadian Union. The agents of the Quebec Government are promoting the movement, started yesterday, of annexation to the United States. The trouble arises out of veloes by the Federal Government of provincial acts for the conversion of the public debt and the creation of provincial courts. The Provincial Government has decided to proceed in defiance of the Federal authorities and the Imperial Government itself, raising the cry, "Quebec for the French," and "Provincial rights."

PARIS, September 16th.

Parnell was in court nearly all day by the side of George Lewis. His pale, worn face clearly showed what a great strain the whole business is to him. The look of intense eager "ness, almost amounting to an expression of fear,

Parnellites are able to claim an important aucCESS in enforcing the production of the Times letters including those al Parnell and Egan, and onc written by Campbell, Parnell's secretary. Sir Charles Russell demanded the production of all other letters connected with the inquiry that are in possession of the Times. This wide demand has been met by arranging for the inspection of only those letters that may be specified by the Parnellite counsel. The Parnellites again scored by getting the Court, to instruct the Times to to prove, as well as allegations falling short of definite charges.

The Irish party have practically gained a point toward Dillon's release, basing the applica tion solely on the ground that it is necessary for him to prepare a defence. Dillon will have to stay another month in prison, but will get out under conditions three days before the commis sion meets on October 22nd, which is nearly four months before his sentence expires.

The commission appointed by Parliament to examine into the charges made by the Trines against: Farnell and other Irish members of the House of Commons, opened its sessions this morning. Representatives of the press occupied the bulk of the space, there being 200 reporters present, representing provincial, London, and American newspapers. Judges Hannen, Smith, and Day compose the commission. Sir Charles Russell and Henry, Herbert Asquith, Liberal Member of Parliament, appeared for the Parnel lites, and Ruegg for O'Donnell, while Graham and Attorney General Webster appeared for the Times.

NEW YORK, September 17th,

A letter to the Tribune from Havana, bearing dale of September 8th, gives particulars of the recent cyclone. It says for fifteen hours it rnged, and wreaked fearful havoc to life and property throughout the island. It demolished the principal buildings of large cities, and wiped out whole towns situated near the railroad. The water flooded large districts of fertile land, richly planted with sugar, tobacco, fruit and vegetables, destroying valuable, machinery oh plantations and ruining crops.

On the seaboard heavy seas. broke down wharves, and occasioned great losses to shipping and c: mmerce, and loss of life to crews on board vessels in the harbor. In some cases vessels were carried half a mile into cities, whole blocks of houses and trees being battered down as the vessels cut a passage through the streets, Havaná presented a novel sight. Its streets and public aquares were piled high with the ruins of demolished buildings and debris of every kind, which gave it the appearance of a bom- barded city. Many streets in the northern part of Havand were submerged.

The number of lives lost throughout the city and country is variously estimated at from sco to 1200. The loss to crops, buildings and ship-| ping amounts to many millions.

LONDON, September, 17th,

Counsel for the Times agreed to produce certain letters, but objected to the commission issuing orders for the discovery of documents.

. Parell entered the courtroom while the discussion concerning the production of letters was proceeding,

Sir Charles Russell said he did not care to confine his application to two letters. He wanted to inspect all lellers and documents referred to in the articles on "Parnellism and Crime."

Judge Hansen stated that he had not read them, and said counsel must inform the Court what was necessary so as to guide them.

Sir Charles stated to the Court that one of the many charges published in the Times was that certain Parnellite members of the House were connected with an illegal association and were sharers in the crime of murder. All alleged proof of this charge was a letter in which Parnell approved of the fund, meaning the assassination

fand.

fi

Judge Hannen said the Times would produce all letters and documents If the parties could not agree as to the production of the papers a commission would deal with the disputed points in chambers afterward.

Graham then opened the case for the Times, and, after a review of the "Parnelliem and Crime articles, he said it was now asked that the Times should state whence it derived its information. But, if it divulged its sources of information, the object of the commission might be defeated and its inquisitorial character lost.

Sir Charles Russell insisted that the case should not proceed until the commission decided the question as to the production of a docu- ments in the possession of the Times.

The Judges then adjourned to chambers to consider the question, and in a short time the commission returned to the courtroom. Judge Hanhen asked, assuming the commission thought they had jurisdiction to order the discovery of documents, what restrictions Sir Charles Russell

The Times has been knocked almost senseless in the first round in the great fight with Parnell and the Irish party. The most important point demonstrated by to-day's preliminary proceed ings is that the Judges fully recognize the importwould claim. ance of the so-called Pamell letters and will not

inch from making them the main issues of the investigation. This is precisely what the Times lawyers were anxious to avoid, but from the conduct of the Judges to-day their protests will be of no use. Taken all in all the preliminary inquiry is merely a fishing trip, but the Parmel lites got most of the dish. The Times lawyern deliberately dodged all questions planing them to speclic charges against Parnell, or any in.

Sir Charles stated he wanted to know in plain

language if the Times charged Parnell or his associates with complicity in the Phoenix park murders.

"Graham replied that the Timiza would produce evidence to substantiate all the charges it made in its articles, "Farnellism and Crime,"

The commission again returned to deliberate, and on resuming the sitting Judge Hannen said: The commision, having considered the question

Sir Charles Russell stated that Parnell deemed Egan's evidence absolutely necessary, and in this view the Times concurs. As soon as the commission resumes, both sides will apply to the Court to grant a certificate of indemnity to Egan and other Irish-Americans, under ban, in order that they may be heard as witnesses.
