In it Dr. Knappe charges the adherents of with raiding German plantations, and de-' scribes his efforts to induce the insurgents to abandon their positions, which en-, cro ehed upon the plantations. He says the disorders in Samoa were partly due to American incitement. The general tenor of the report and its publication at the present juncture suggest the latent intention on the part of Bismarck to persist in his indemnity demands. The appendix to the report gives the American Consul's ed ct prohibiting the supplying of spirits to sailors.

Dr. Knappe complains that toy flags and handken-hiei's on which are imprinted American colors and the portrait of the President of the United States have been hoisted promiscuously over native houses since the outbreak of the civil war in Samoa. lie also says that American and British flags were hoisted on plots of land pledged by the rebels in lieu of cash in payment for arms and ammunition. The commander of the British cruiser at Apia, he declined to support claims to land thus pledged. Tuc Samoan Conference sat to-day from 4 until 5:30 o'clock.

The land report was the subiect nnder consideration. Dr. Kranel read his land report to the contort nee, which was accepted.

A Polish priest was assaulted on the street this morning by one faction of his church, and a general riot resulted, in which men and women participated. The militia had to be called out to quell the riot. The lire Department was also called out and turned hose un the mob. After nearly drowning several of the rioters peace was restored. The Sheriff attempted to arrest the leaders, and was attacked by th women, several of whom were knocked down.

Ten rioters have been jailed and a guard stationed at the priest's house to prevent further trouble. PARISIANS TO THE REAR, ISpecial to New York, May 4. A cable to the Mail and Express from Ixmdon says The cross-examination of Mr. Parnell by Sir Richard Webster has shown the witness to be, as he has always been known to be by those who know him at ail and as he has eminently shown himself in Parliament, a cool-headed man, and it has also demonstrated him as a clever fencer, who never loses control of himself. Yesterday he astonished the court and the audience by apparently losing eontro.

of himself and sac rificing his self-possession to what was regarded by some persons as a recklessly defiant admission about his statements in Parliament. Beneath his assumption of cynical indifference, which is due to a calm and cool intellect which dominates his actions, and to the remarkable difficulties which have always surrounded his position in public life, there is a good tteal of intensity of feeling and purpose which has carried him through his persistent patriotic effort and has always been known to his friends, many of whom nave not had his self-restraint nor good eense. WHY THE LEADER 60T AXGRY. In addition to this he naturally experiences a good deal of irritation at the constant effort of the Government and the Times, bi.ih represented by Attorney-General Webster, to fasten something disreputable upon him, even after the lying slander of the-iorged letters had been exposed. Something of this irritation is thought to have manifested itself yesterday when he frankly avowed that ne had purposely lie: on cne oceasion in order to deceive Parliament.

This portion of his testimony is Mr. Par-cell's first confession andcansed visible and audible surprise throughout the courtroom, and his nonchalance in repeating his acknowledgment of falsehood occasioned come hisses from his enemies. This in ident made one thing very evident, and this is, that Mr. Parnell is telling the truth without any hesitation or reserve. His explanation of the trick in Parliament is generally accepted, and his conduct at that time has been reflected a thousand times by Mr.

MONEY AKES THE MARE OO." You do not, then, Mr.

Gould, accept ths belief that we are becoming a nation ot plutocrats, and that men of vast wealth are a source of danger to the icrpctuily of our cout.tutional Government?" Indeed I do not," and the brown eyes opened widely. I have made what money I by hard work. While it may net be the general impression, I owe all my suves to unremitting lalor entirely.

This ubiquitous language is heard universally from end to end of the drawing-room par excellence of the season. There are usually fewer debutants at the city, in every known accent, from that of rarnell was working hard for the recognition of the value and success of constitutional methods in the cause of Irish patriotism, while the Tories have been seeking Dnly selfish and unworthy ends. PARNELL '8 HIGH TEMPER. The character of Parnell, as it is being gradually seen under cross-examination by toose who were not before cognizant of his Jofty spirit and high-strung temper and the command over them which bis judicial mind exercises, suggests a natnre internally tempestuous, covered by a thin but impenetrable mask of nonchalance and sang froid. Sir Richard Webster is not a notably dexterous questioner, but he is a tenacious sticker and he has repeats questions over and over in various forms until he gets some sort of an answer and extracts, as he think the root of the matter.

Mr. Parnell's replies, however, are very frank whenever a vital point is touched, although he answers carefully in- order to avoid giving the Government further opportunity to misrepresent him and his caue. His replies largely consist of statements that he does not remember certain things. His memory is apparently surprisingly defective when contrasted to his general keenness of intellect. He appears know little or nothing about the Fenian and other associations which preceded the constitutional league as it now exists.

RECEIVED WITH ENTHUSIASM.

Our reception was very enthusiastic. The American flag, which was brought by the Misses McCarthy from New York, led the way. It is a beautiful banner. The pilgrims occupied a central position in the group. The psalms Laetalus Sum," "Laudante Doininuui Omnes Gentes" and Benedirtus and the "Ave Maria Stella" with tho Magnificat were sung as we marched through the principal entrance to the city up to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher.

After the Tcnoration at the tomb of our Divine Redeemer we proceeded to Casa Nova, the hospice of the Franciscans in Jerusalem, where quarters were assigned. The respect shown the members of the American pilgrimage and the Turkish pilgrimage by the Turkish soldiers was quite marked. TROUBLE OVER THE PASSPORTS. The vise put on our passports by the Turkish Consul at New York appears to be of no value, as an order from the American Consul warning us of the necessity of procuring regular Turkish passports, if we wished to proceed to Beyrout, cost all -the members of the second and third sections the handsome sum of 714 francs in addition to the sum of 5 francs which was paid to the Turkish Consul before we left New York. Of the 7Ji francs paid here five go to the American I'onsuL Not once have we been asked for passports, American or Turkish, since we left Hoboken.

The rje of the Turkish Consul at home was said to be good for Alexandria, Jerusalem and Constantinople. Naturally there was some indignant feeling over the matter, and the conclusion as naturally reached that a passport is a very ornamental but very dear and useless piece of paper. As the majority of the pilgrims procured American passports through agents, they paid fo for them. It is safe to say that the American pilgrims paid over fGOO for passports alone. When we get to Beyrout we will see what necessity there is for the cost.

All the sacred places in and around Jerusalem have been visited. The majority have made the trip to Jordan and the Dead Sea. The very impressive ceremonies of Holy Week, recalling events of neariy 1,900 years ago on the very spots, were interesting and well attended. The wild, and I might add disgraceful, exhibition of the superstitious fanaticism of the Greeks in the reception of the so-called holy fire, which is supposed to descend direct from Heaven, was also witnessed by the pilgrims.

WILL TIIKKB UK A RACE? The New Deed or Gift the Real Stumbling? Block.

Special to the Examinkr.1 London, May 4. Lord Dunraven's reply to the New York Yacht Club's written answer to his Valkyrie challenge was mailed to-day. No one but Dunraven ami two or three close friends know what is in it, but the Wvrhl correspondent i8 informed on very good authority that if the Americans meet suggestions by any compro-Biise regarding the time allowance the race will not fall through. Dunraven is very anxious to have the race, even if obliged to meet the Volunteer, though his yachting associates strongly advise him to protest against the Volunteer. Lord Dunraven has been out of town all the week, but got back to-day.

He told the World correspondent that it would be discourteous in him to say anything about the contents of his letter till it reaches New York, but he felt extremely hopeful the raco would come off. THE TIME ALLOWANCE. Just about what Lord Dunraven's objections are to the New York Club's modifications of the time-allowance rules, it is impossible to say as yet, but there is no doubt at all that that's the sore spot. He would gladly accept, as occurred in previous contests, a harmonius compromise between the American and the British rule of measurement, and, no doubt in the event of the Volunteer being named as the American champion, the Valkyrie will stand badly in need of all the fair play she can claim. Designer Watson, who has been at Southampton and the Isle of Wight all this week talking the matter over with members of the Royal Squadron, is said to be urgent that the Valkyrie should be raced as a keel boat at New York, and in this way keep up a double element of rivalry, as an international and a contest between the keel boat and the center-boards Dixon Kemp, who is undoubtedly one of the friend Lord Dunraven consulted before mailing his letter, told the World correspondent to-day that he did not think small difficulties like the time allowance would cause the race to fall through.

Dunraven's letter will set that matter right," he said. THE REAL TROUBLE.
