THE PARNELL INQUIRY. London, February 6.
Major Lecaron, military organiser of the Fenian Association, continued his evidence before the " Times "-Parnell Commission yesterday. He said, in the course of his examination, that the Fenians in America plotted to invade Canada in 1870. The members of the Clan na Gael, he said, were employed by Mr O'Kelly, member of the House of Commons, in 188 1 to ship arms from America to Ireland, where they were to be received by Messrs Parnell and Dillon. The witness produced secret papers, passwords and ciphers, and confessed that he had been secretly informing the British Government for years.
