He allowed that O'Kelly and Egan wen expelled from a secret organization becausi they joined in the Parnell movement; thai he made no ruport to the British government of his alloged interviews with O'Kelly ano Parnell, although both were important, ant' that although, as he alleged, Parnell told kirr to see Devoy, Sullivan, Paner and Hines, h« made no report of his interviews with them to Parnelli although he testified he did set them. His reason for not doing so was that Egan had given instructions that he should report to Egan only. He had visited Europe Ave times since 1867, sometimes in a professional capacity and sometimes unprofessionllly. He reported himself to the authorities m each occasion, except in 1807. Neither Mr". O'Kelly uor Mr. Parnell had aver written to him. O'Leary was a violent opponent of the league.

OUR GROWING NAVY. nilitia, and providing tor a quartermiate FLOUR In discussing the naval appropriation bill Mr. Hale said that in five years the United States would have the best navy in the world. Much of the succoss which had characterized the present administration of the navy department (to which he was glad to bear testimony) had been owing to the hearty holding lp of the secretary's hands by a majority ot he senate—opposed to him in politics. The secretary had been careful in methods; hi lad encouraged American inventors, Ameri;an enterprise and American skill, and now the United States D.ad some of the best shipt chat were to be found to-day on the waters of Jie globe. The present secretary of the navy .lttd been only able to launch six or seven new ships, but his successor would be able during the next four years to launch fifteen or twenty, or twenty-five or thirty, of the finest armed and equipped ships on the waters ot [lie globe.

During the conversation with him, however, It is said that Gen. Harrison let fall a remark that points to forthcoming influence. The general told his visitors, it is reported, that Senator Sherman would have something to say iu regard to appointments to be made in Ohio. If this is true it removes Forafcer from any cabinet place, suggests the strengthening of the Foster and Sherman influence in that state with the incoming administration.

Alger will not foe a member of the cabinet of President Harrison. That is one of the two things settled iu the minds of those who are intimate with Geu, Harrison and his advisers.

Alger will not be secretary of War, the friends of Governor Busk of Wisconsin are making a decided effort to promote his ■chances. Senator Spooner expects to go to Indianapolis this week to urge the appointment 01 Governor Rusk. He saw Gen.

There is some anxiety manifested by th« politicians as to what Col. New will report to the president-elect, for, notwithstanding his repeated declarations that he was here only on private business altogether foreign to politics, it is genera ally believed that this is not strictly true. It is known that Gen. Harrison h»s not fully mode up his mind as to the man or plane New York shall have in the cabinet Col. New is a t horough politician, and it would be practically impossible for him to spend any time here without interesting himself in the battle that is raging in this state and forming soma opinion as to the merits of the respective contestants. For this reason the friends of Piatt • ami Miller both agree that even if Col. New's yisit to the Empire state at this time was twlly on private business, it will have gome political significance. His close relations to . Gen. Harrison will naturally lead him to im■ part any information he may have gleaned ■ as to the brat way to solve the New York puzzle. The estate of E. 8.
