London's Topics OF Interest.
LONDON. Nov II. There is just a possi-
bility that the Parnell commission may die
natural death. Many who have followed IL
closely talk seriously Of an early collapse Of
the whole affair. Thus far the Times has
done nothing but rake up old and well known
outrages. and even the Times's with .sses
have repeatedly expressed their belief that
the National League had no responsibility
a.. -.
had suffered. No attempt has been made to
connect the Irish leaders with any outrage,
and no point having yet been made against
time and money by simply staying away. Ii
is even believed by many that the
Times people will, before long. con-
clude to admit, what everybody
knows already, that they have
talked Of letters are forgeries. In that case,
Of course, there would be nothing for the
Times to do but to drop the fight and take
| refuge behind provision Of the act which
protects from further legal pursuit any wit
etor Of the Times, however, has unlimited
money. and apparently no special aim In life
but TO fight the battle OF the Tories against
| the Irish, it Is probable that he will keep his
| pomp0us lawyers droning on as long as pos
| sible In the hope that some little effect may
result. That the Parnellites cannot posi-
bly, suffer by the trial is, however, absolutely
certain.
In England there is not much interest In
anything just now but the Whitechapel mur-
ders ana the details surrounding them, War
ren's resignation, etc. Either Warren or
Home Secretary Matthews had to 90, In
obedience to public clamor, and Matthews
was sufficiently clever to maneuvre War
ren's neck under the axe OF popular disfa-
vor. People are not satisfied yet, however.
The Tories declare that Matthews should 90
instead Of Warren. The Liberals declare
that both should have been turned out, and
1t Is very likely that the Whitechapel killer
will have the honor Of overturning a cabinet
minister as we'll as the chief commissioner OF
police. About the mysterious murders moth
Ing more Is known, and fresh ones are ex-
pected. Some clever Individual, having in
vented a detailed description Of the man
seen walking about with Mary Kelly Just be-
fore she was murdered, has been hired at five
times his usual salary TO walk about with
the police and try to see the man again. IL
has been pointed out that the murders have
all been committed at changes Of the moon,
which Is taken as strengthening the lunatic
theory.
Foreign Notes. ice sss
