Parnell

DUBLIN, Aug. 29.-At a banquet to
Mr.. Parnell this evening thirty-eieht per-
sons were present. Loyal toasts were
omitted. Mr., Parnell eulogized his fol
lowers for their courage and self-denial.
He said there was only one thing on their
programme to restore the Irish parlia-
ment. When that parliament assembled
in Dublin, it would develope the Healy
clauses of the land act, make tenant
owners of their holdings, and secure to
laborcrs a share in the land. Mr., Parnell
dwelt upon the importance of securing
loyal and selfdenying members in the
next parliament for the final battle for
home rule, before which he hoped to pass
further remedial measures. He sketched
the tasks of the Dublin parliament, which
would consist of a single chamber. He
hoped that the coming party would be
strong enough to restore independence to
Ireland
Justin Mccarthy presided at the ban
quet. In Sackville street an enormous
crowd collected and checred necessarily
during the banquet.

SAN Francisco, Aug. 24.-An i'm
portant decision was rendered to-day by
Judge Field, of the United States circuit
court. affecting the responsibility of the
municipality regarding the Montgomery
avenue bonds, which in the past have oc-
casioned a vast amount of litigation. A
number 0 fyears ago the municipal board
of public works ordered the opening up
Of a thoroughfare termed Montgomery
avenue, and provided for the payment of
this work by issuing bonds, which we're to
be liquidated by special taxation on prop
erty OF owners benefited by the improve
ment. The action of the board of public
works was confirmed by a special act of
the Legislature. The property owners
thus taxed refused to pay their assess
ments. The bond holders then brought
suit against the city and county of San
Francisco for the payment Of the princi
pal and interest of the bonds. Judge
Field holds that apart from any action Of
the legislature the board of public works
was not the legally authorized agent of
the city; hat the latter was therefore not
a party to the issuance of the bonds and
cannot be held liable for their payment.
