A FEW ENLlVENING TILTS
Sir Richard Webster Continues His Long
 Talk-He Promises to Show That Boy cotters Are Paid to Commit Outrages and Dlvulge the Source of Information.

LONDON, Oct. 24-The second session of the Parnen commission dragged its slow length along, wearying judges, lawyers, re- porters and spectators. The proceedings were rendered a trihe hvelier by several sharp encounters between Attorney General Webster and Sir Charles Russell, who is on the alert for MT. Parnelrs interests. Web ster's prosiness is relieved only by Sir Charles objections, and some of these latter legal quirks provoked retorts and gave aboNt the only interest to be found in the court. The only novelties that were produced were the statements made by Sir Richard Webster that The Times had obtained many docu- ments from a land league official, that the same official was also the purveyor of the letters which the Parnellites claim to be specified price for them.
 Attorney General Webster said that if ac- cess could be obtained to the various books of the Land league, detailed evidence could be procured showing the relation borne by the Parnellites to the crimi&E actions of the members of the league TAe Times, he said, had secured documents describing how men were supported who refused to work, and how boycotters and others were paid for committing outrages Before the was concluded all the circumstances bearing upon the case in The Times possession, the letters published by that paper, the names of the persons from whom they had been obtained and the amount of money paid for them would be divulged. Before the letters were published, which The Times believed to be MT. ParnelTs, their genuineness had been proved by comparison with undoubted speci- mems of MT. Parnell's writing. The court here adjourned.
 The Times alone out of the city newspa- pers is publishing verbatim reports of the proceedings of the commission. The paper de- votes great space to this matter daily, and all it's reporters and barristers sit in the press boxes wigged and gowned. The law yers on both sides are pressing the commis- sion not to sit on Wednesdays, as at present, with the court sitting five days a week, no other business can be attended to.
 The revival of moonlighterS eScapadeS in Ireland is certainly ill timed. Several out rages are reported as the work of these mis- creants and Nationalists are fearful lest they will prejudice the minds of the public against the Irish cause now at stake.
 The Berlin newspapers are reviving the complaints of Russian intrigues in Rou- mania. It is hinted that Ourussoff was the medium recently of a secret interview at Jassy with Roseti, one of the presidents of the Roumanian court of cessation at Blu charest.
 The Standard publishes telegram from Suakin, which says that the situation there is of the gravest nature, and that the troops are inadequate to defend the extensive forts The officials at the war office are very indig- nant at the publication of the dispatch, as disparaging news of this sort is not officially furnished ill England. They fear that the statement may reach the besiegers of Suakn, and stimulate them to renewed energy, for getting that the town itself is full of spies who have probably already carried faithful report of the condition of the place to their | friends
 Mir John Morley ill a recent speech pre- dicted that the solution of home rule for Ire land would be concurrent with the abolition of the hereditary peerage.
