£ It is understood that the principal 1 reason for the Pope desiring an interview with Archbishop Walsh was 1 to obtain greater contrjl over the \ Nationalist party, and render political ( assistance to England. Messrs JJillon and O'Brien, who a were confined in cells attached to <3 the County Court during the trial of

the Tipperary rioters, were safely removed when the fire broke out. The flag flying from the Courthouse remained intact to the last, and fell amid a scene of wild enthusiasm. The trial of those charged with being concerned in the Tipperary riot concluded yesterday. The jury acquitted Breen, Breenock and Keating, and disagreed in the cases against Dalton and Gill. The supporters of Mr Parnell today stoned the followers of Mr McCarthy at Easky, a small village in the vicinity of Sligo, where Mr Parnell is carrying on the campaign. The police fixed bayonets, but were powerless to protect Mr McCarthy, who fled to Sligo, hotly pursued by a large number of his opponents, who continued stone-throwing. Mr John Pinkerton, M.P. for Galway, received a nasty wound on the head from a stone. It is rumoured that Mr J. S. Blame and Lord Salisbury have amicably settled the case of the Sayward, the British sealer which was seized for an infringement of the Behring Sea fishery regulations in January.
