Captain Karlowa, from New York May 2 for Hamburg, which arrived here at 2 m. today, reports that the cotton in her aftorhold was spontaneously ignited on the night of the 8th inst. The fire burned fiercely, but was quenched after fivo anxious hours, during which everything had been got in readiness to abandon the steamer. One hundred and thirty burning cotton bales were jettisoned.

Great fright prevailed among tho passengers, who remained on dock for 48 hours. TI rough the efforts to quench the fire the cabins were flooded, and two-thirds of the luggage was spoiled. Much is given the capta and crew for their exertions. '1 wo of the crew were injured. It is feared that the cargo is greatly damaged.

After the fire had gamed considerable headway some of those on hoard made to desert the ship, but wore prevented from doing so by the captain, who threatened them with a revolver. When the iron bulkhead doors were opened the heat became so intense that many persons were scorched, and the cotton bales around the luggage took fire. Casks of lard, which formed part of tho cargo, also furnished fuel for tlie ftames. Hope had been well msrli abandoned, and boats had been lowered to leave the threatened steamer, hen it occurred to tho captain to try steam instead of water against the lire. The plan whs put in execution and proved successful.

Parnell Testimony. Mr. examination before tho special commission was finished Wednesday. Ho testified that the reception committee in America comprised the leading merchants of New York, representative citizens and ministers of religion. In his speeches in Now York the witness had declared that not a farthing contributed to the Irish cause would go toward organizing rebellion in Ireland.

Throughout his tour of the United States he had never sworved a breadth from that declaration. Attorney General Webster, the witness said, had quoied from five out of 00 he had made in tho United States, ignor ng the general tenor of his speeches, so as to misrepresent words All the names the attorney general had mentioned as those of persons who were associated with the meetings were only a small fraction of those who attended. Men of prominent position and undoubted respectability attended Ihe meetings. In no sense could tho American receptions be identified With the proceedings of the physical force party. Witness firmly believed tlist none of his colleagues since joining the Irish parliamentary party had anything to do with the Fenians.

Only casually did the Fenians come within the orbit of the constitutional movement, Attorney General Webster, recurring to the examination of Mr. private bank account, wanted to trace a number of checks, and a warm discussion ensued. Sir Charles Russell declaring that such action would be unfair. Justice Hannen suggested a postponement of the inquiry into this matter until iuller documents were before the court. Archbishop Walsh here took the stand.

He testified that he came to the conclusion before that there was need of a defensive land organization, and was proceeding to give his opinion of the necessity for such an organization, when Justice Hannen interposed, saying the inouiry must be limited to whether or not the Land League was necessary. Attorney General Webster submitted that matters of opinion were not adm sslble.aud the judges concurred. The archbishop continuing said that in the course of his through his diocese he had abundant means of knowing that the league denounced outrages. Many priests had joined the league with his lull approval, fie snw nothing in the action of the members of the leaguo to forbid tlio clergy jo hid the organization. Archbishop Walsh continued his testimony before the Parnell commission Thursday.

He testified that facts that had coma to ills knowledge proved that tho league tended to diminish crime. There has been a gradual decadence in tho secret societies in Ireland since Do was aware that the lcaguo had advised tenants not to enter tho land court after the passage of the act establishing lhat court in 1881. Hubseouent events had justified that advice. He only knew of one instance the league had been indiscreet. This indiscretion consisted of the passage of a resolution by a branch of tho league to publish in its district a list of the persons not members of the league.

He protested against th action, and tlie publication of the list was abandoned. As the league spread the secret societies vanished. The people learned to prefer open parliamentary action and to dislike secrecy. Throughout his diocese the cases of boycotting had been few, although the league was strong in that district. Tlie only sense, the archbishop said, which boycotting ought to be tolerated came undor the name of exclusive dealing.

Anything like intimidation was reprehensible. Tho members of tho league hold that boycotting kept the country free from outrages. Witness did not approve of refusing to sell tho necessaries of life to a man under boycott, lie understood tho plan of campaign to be a purely voluntary com bination, and that it did not imply boycotting. Mr. Atkinson, of counsel for the Times, hero quoted from a pastoral issued by the archbishop in 1882, denouncing tho movement not to pay debts forcible resistance to the law.

Archbishop Walsh said that Ihe pastoral had been issued in consequence of the increase in the number ot secret societies, owmg to the disorganization of the league, under the le.prisonment of its leaders, and while the people wore driven to despair by evictions. operatives in tho moo factories at Notting- Daring Robbery in tho Arizona Mountains, Paymaster and His Escirt Attacked by an Amboshod Gang.

CHERCHEES WISH TO CLOSE, But Hold Strlu To Be Worth alkquah May Cherokeos are somewhat exercised over tho attitude of Chief Joei Mayes, with regard to the sale of the Cherokee strip to the United States.

The initial step toward tho purchase is the calling together of the Cherokee Legislature for the approval of the sales. Chief Mayes, however, refuses to convene tho Legislature for such a purpose, A majority of the Indians are opposed to the sale and sustain Mayes, but a powerful minority is urging him to convene the General Assembly aud settle the prices to be paid for the land. It is unuersteod the commissioners will oiler $1.76 per acre, but the are not hkely to accept that figure, holding that S4 or $5 nor acre wouid be no more than the land is worth. While the diversity of opinion as to the sale at any pries is great, it understood that if tiie acres embraced in the strip could he disposed of lor to the government, a sale might be effected. Unless Chief Maves can be prevailed upon to convene the Legislature it would seem as if the object of the commissioners would be defeated, as the purchase cannot be made without the sanction of that body.
