The Revelations Gall for Disproof
Upon u Stronger Basis.

O'Donnel Pursued.
The News" Says the Arguments Pre-
scented by the "Timos" Counsel
Was Claptrnp-Parnell Makes q
Statement in the House.

LoNDoN, July 6.-Thc general tono of
the English press is against policy OF ST.
loncc or OF angry denials in the treatment
by the Irish party OF the revelations in the
trial Of the O'Donnel- Timc suit. The pa
pcrs say this will not suffice. The revola-
tons call for disproof either through jury
or parliamentary committee.
The Post says II such an investigation is
not demanded even the English allies OF
the Parnellitcs will share the ugly sus-
picion that the Irish party are guilty of
the charges made against them.
The Daily Nous treats the Arguments
presented by the Times counsel as clap
trap, and says il is astonishcd at the pro-
found and eccentric gullibility displayed
by the court. II expresses the hope that
II has heard the last OF miserable fanatic
ism.
The Parnelltcs denounce O'Donnell for
the course he pursued in his action against
the Times. They suspect that lyman, the
man known Ms "No. l." is the person
from whom tho Times got its information
concerning the league. In the lobbcs OF
the House OF Commons today members Of
the Irish party denied that Panell ever
paid Byrne flO0. They said the flOO
given Byrne was In the shape Of a check
signed by MIR. Justin Mccarthy, and rep
resented league subscriptions.
On the assemblage OF the House 81 Com
mons today Mr. Parncll ross 10 make an
explanation concerning certain statements
made in connection with the ODonnell.
