PA ARNELk AMID kAAS b O W&fk<Ss Opeufng yesaion of the ComxniAsien- Aner she Elan of Inquiry Is Outlined 1t Aatourns Until october 22-Both Sides satlsRed with the First Days Proceedings. Ts1s 'rs LONDON, Sept. 1.-The commission ap- pointe by Parliament to examine into the charges made by the Times against MT. Par- nell and other Parnellite members of the House of Commons opened it's first session this morning in the probate oours. Judges Hannen, Day and Smith composed the oom- mission, and Sir Charles Russell and Herbert Henry Asquith, Liberal member of Parliament for tho East division of Fife, appeared for the Parnellites. Mir. Reugg watched the case for Mr. O'Donnell.
 In opening the session Judge Hannen out lined the scope of the inquiry. He said that the commission proposed in the first instance to make the inquiry as though it was an issue between MT. O'Donnell and the Times, reserv- ing to themselves the power to summon any body who might be able to throw light upon the issues therein involved. The inquiry would proceed in accordance with the rules of ordinary courts.
 Sir Charles Russell demanded that he be allowed to inspect all the letters and photo graphs bearing on the case aud that the com
 mission issue an order for the discovery of the documents upon the authority of which some of the Tiunes' charges were made. Coun- sel for the Times objected to having all the letters produced, but after deliberation the judges decided that all the letters in question must be given over to the commission, which would reserve the prerogative of divulging their contents or not. The court thought the details against the persons the Times accused ought to be given. The court had determined to enter thoroughly into the inquiry and fol- low it out to the end. Mir. ParnelE entered the court room while the discussion concern ing the production of the letters was proceed ing.
 Sir Charles Russell made application for the release of MT. Dillon on bail in order that he might appear before the commission. In regard to MT. Dillon the court would order his attendance when the inquiry proceeded, on condition that he abetained from taking part in public matters and entered into re- cognizance in the sum of f10, GOO.
 The commission then adjourned till Octo- Der %.
 RESULTS OF THE sEssIoN-EAcH SIDE WINS IM-
 PoRTANr POINTS.
 Both sides seem to be satisfied with the preliminary tussle before the commission. The Parnellites are able to claim an impor- tant success of enforcing the production of the Times letters, including those of Parnell and Egan and one written by Campbell, Mr. Parnell's secretary. Sir Charles Russell de- naanded the production of all other letters connected with the inquiry that are in pos session of the Times. This wide demand has been met by arranging for the inspection of only those letters that may be specified by the Parnellite counsel.
 The Parnellites scored by getting :he court definite charges it is prepared to prove as well allegations falling short of definite charges. The diseision relating to the dis covery of documents, combined with the courts expression of it's determination to make thorough investigation into the mat ters, tends in favor of the Times.
 The result of the decision was MT. Grs- hame,s getting power of access to the bank books of the league involving the right to inspect the books of both the land and na- tional leagues. The courts declaration that the widest scope will be given to the inquiry opens up an interminable vista of contention. Tho question of the appointment of com mission to examine Egan and others in America was only touched upon. It will be raised when the com mission resumes. The suggestion of Mr. GTahame that Mir. Egan come to London Russell said that Mir. Parnell deemed Egan's evidence absolutely necessary, and in this Times concurs. As soon as the commission resumes both sides will apply for 6 certificate of indemnity to Egan and other Iish-Ameri- cans under the ban. in order that they be heard. Mir. Parnell appeared in fine health. His face was sun-burned and he seemed bright and alert. Messrs. Arthur O'Connor, J. c. O'Connor, Gill, Quinn, Fox and Picton were present during the proceedings. In view of the limited space allowed the public Mr. Grahame suggested that larger court room be secured when the commission meet again. To this Justice Hammer replied that the press was the best representative of the public.
