Davitt Opens Parnell Commission Address on Ireland
Michael Davitt resumed his speech in the Parnell Commission denouncing the landlord system and urging land to the state. He contested links between the league and Irish revolutionaries and claimed forged Times letters by Parnell were revealed as forgeries. He also argued Parnell formed the Land League in America and that Clan-na-Gael failed to prove otherwise. The report covers Ottawa's note of a new US Britain extradition treaty drafted like the Phelps pact and Canada’s Weldon act context ahead of Senate action.

How Cronin Was Killed in Chicago Trial Proceedings
Evidence resumed in Chicago on the Cronin murder case with witnesses identifying the body while Dr Egbert's autopsy suggested death from head wounds but could not confirm it as the cause. He noted the wounds might not have been fatal and could not determine if injuries occurred before or after death. Local coverage also cites Devoy’s critique of defense counsel Forrest and renewed claims from Winnipeg that Burke confessed to witnessing the Cottage crime and naming participants, with corroboration from Heffer and Gillette.
