LONDON, Oct. 2f.-When the Parnell Com
mission resumed its sitting today Sir Charles
Russell, counsel for Mr.. Parnell, demanded
the production Of certain letters which the
Times possessed, and which were alleged to
have been written by Mr.. Dillon, Mr.. Biggar
and other members Of Parliament He said
that Mr.. Soames. the Times solicitor, had
filed an affidavit affirming that the Times
had received the documents from an Ameri-
can named Roberts; that some OF them
proved to be bogus, and, that on this account
they had not been used In the O'Donnell
case, This admission that somebody was
supplying the Times with forged letters,
sald Sr Charles, had direct bearing upon
the Parnell-Egan forgeries. The documents
must therefore be produced.
Attorney General Webster held that the
documents demanded were not material TO
the ISSUE The. affidavit Of Mr.. Soames
showed clearly that somebody had been try
ing TO trick the Times, and knowledge OF the
TRICK had been communicated to Mr.. Par
nelPs solicitor. The court ordered that the
documents be produced. Sir Charles Rus
sell then asked for particulars OF the charges
against Mr. -Parnell and those involved with

Foreign Notes.
The Times alone out Of the London newspa-
pers Is publishing verbatim reports Of the
proceedings OF the Parnell commission. The
paper deyotes great space to this matter
daily. and all Its reporters and barristers sit
In the press boxes wigged and gowned. The
lawyers on both sides are pressing the com
mission not to sit on Wednesdays, as at pres
ent with the Court sitting five days a week,
no other business can be attended to.
The revival Of m0onlighters escapades In
Ireland Is certainly ill-timed. Several out
RACES are reported as the work Of these mis-
creants, and nationalists are fearful less they
will prejudice the minds of the public against
the Irish cause now at stake.
Mr.. John Morely in a recent speech pre-
dicted that the solution Of Home Rule for
Ireland would be concurrent with the ab0li-
tion Of the hereditary peerage.
The Berlin newspapers are reviving the
complaints Of Russian intrigues In Rouma-
MA. IL is hinted that 0urussoff was the me-
dium recently Of a secret interview at Jassy
with Roseti. one of the presidents OF the
Roumanian Court Of Cessation at Bucharest.
