Major Le Caron's book.

♦ In our cable news it will be seen that the London Times considers that the. statements made in Major Le Caron's book command entire belief, owing to the utter failure of the Tuiies-Parnell Commissioir lei shake his evidence . : ; ! The substance of the charges in the book were cabled the other day as follows : — According to the author in 1881, when the Clan-na-Gael Society was conducting aotive policy in Ireland, Devoy told Ld Caron that he had received a letter from Parnell stating that he was exasperated at the condition of affairs and was willing to do anything. Egan told Le Caron that Parnell was all right as a revolutionist, and had decided to join $£ Irish Revolutionary Brotherhood but his nomination was rejected, mem* bers believing that he would think more of the Society if he were not a member of it. In the course of an interview in the corridor of the House of Commons, Parnell told Le Caron that he saw no reason why an open insurrectionary movement was not possible, and said that Daly intended to destroy the House of Commons while in session by throwing bombs on the table in front of the Speaker and to seize the stone of Scone at the Abbey, but th« plot failed owing to the Ijreachery of an informer. _;..', -"'
