Take Testimony In This Country.

Take Testimony I'm This Country.
Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, Sept. l4-The result OF a conference
yesterday OF Parnells advisers Is that further
application was decided on. Russell will ask the
court to appoint a commission to take testimony
In the United States and also to release Dillon on
bail during the sessions OF the commission. The
nrst Is considered bold move of Parnells. In re-
gard TO the second, the judges have the necessary
power under the commission act Fortunately
there Is prospect OF Dillons temporary release In
order TO prepare his case. The interest In the
case may De judged from the fact that nfty-three
newspapers will be represented. Parnelrs ex-
penses viii be enormous; but they viii be covered
by the subscriptions, although the efforts In this
direction have been rather spasmodic- A central
fund Is wanted; but the liberal leaders, while
fully believing In Parnell, refuse as a matter OF
principle 10 acknowledge that the fortune OF their
party Is dependent upon the character OF any In
div1dual. Hence neither Gladstone nor his col
leagues will subscribe for the present Davitts
statement, published yesterday, showing that the
Parnellite movement has been throughout OF a
constitutional character, proves TO be an afidavt
prepared In view OF O'Donnells trial. which got
somehow into the hands OF news agency. Davitt
has written to this effect.
