DAVITT WANTS TO TESTIFY.
HIS PART IN THE IRISH AGITATION.

,rronv.r1oN WHICH WOULD HELP Mr. PAR
; NELL IN HIS SUIT AGAINST " THE TINES"
London, Sept. 12.-Mr. Davitt intends to apply
20 the Parnell Commission for permission to give
evidence before that body He has prepared for
the press an abstract of the statement he proposes
20 make before the Commission, beginning with
occurrences of sec, when he Joined the Irish Re
publican Brotherhood He says that he became
ACQUAINTED with Mr PsrneN and Mr. O'Donnell on
his release from Portland Prison During his i'm
prisonment after much thought, he concluded that
the Irish were not adapted for agitation BY secret
conspiracy and formed a plan of open combinn-
ton. After his tour in America he started a move
ment to make the land question the basis OF agita-
ton. In $40 he started an agitation against land
lordism on funds received from his American
lectures He applied TO John Boyle O'Reilly,
Patrick Ford, and John Dewey for assistance.
He received 500 from the National or Skirmish-
ing Fund, but, the Fenian press objected TO
the use of the Fund for constitutional agitation,
he returned the amount Mr.. Parncll offered
money from the resources Of the League.
Mr. Parnells official connection with
the movement began with the organl-
zation of the League in October, 1873 MI
Parneu du-ing his absence in America in the
winter of 1879. forwarded to the League 10000
pounds TO be distributed for the relief Of distress
auxiliary League was expelled from the Irish
Republican Brotherhood for advocacy OF constitu-
tional agitation. Since then there has been
constant hostility between the Leaguers and the
Fenians. Early in 1880. four men visited MS
lodgings in Dublin, designing 10 murder Linn. At
the same time d Fenian gang, headed by Phoenix
Park Carey broke up Las meetings in the Koiunda.
About this time, if he and other leaders IN faVor
of open agitation had not been removed from the
control Of the League by the Government mprson-
ing them, the Invincible conspiracy would never
have been heard Of
On the morning following the Phoenix Park
murders he met Mr. Parneu, who greatly excited
,id he had resolved to send his resignation to The
Cork electors that v>ry day, retiring utterly from
Irish POLITICS Nj Parnell declared that no man
could be safe when irresponsible consWmtorS Or
canjzed deeds OF that kind, aimln. ,.eadly Dio|s
at the constitutional movement on the threshold
of victory Davitt succeeded in persuadlng him
