The ParpelI Suit,

LONDON, Oct. 9.-It is reported that the
Times has resolved that as it incurred great
expense in bringing witnesses to London to
testify in the O'Oonnel trial and as it is
ready to pursue the same course in con-
nection with the trial of Parnell's suit
against it for libel, which is to be tried in
Scotland, it will not incur large expenses in
appearing before the Parnell inquiry COM
mission but will simply supply evidence
enough to justify the commission in summon
ing Parnell to the witness box and compel
him to show his hand. The Times, it is said,
will furnish the commission the names of the
witnesses whom the commission is author
lied to summon to testify.
