PARNELL PULLS OUT.

He Declines to Make Further
Presentation of His Case Before
the Commission.
LONDON, July 16.-Upon the opening
of the Parnell commission this morning,
Sir Charles Russell, counsel for Mr..
Parnell, arose and. addressing the court,
stated that after full consideration of
the situation Mr.. Parnell had instructed
him and Mr.. ASquith, also of counsel,
to no longer represent him before the
commission. 1t reply to Sir Charles
statement, which virtually was a
notification that Mr.. Parnell de-
elined to make any further pre-
sentation of his case before the
commission, Presiding Justice Han
men said: "Mr. Parnell will, Of
course. remain subject to the juricdic-
ton of the court" MeSsrs. Reid and
Lockwood, counsel for other members
of parliament against whom charges
were made by the Times, then also
withdrew from the case. Mr.. Parnell
made a personal application to the
court, asking that if there were any de-
sign to further examine him, such ex-
animation be proceeded with without
delay. He complained of Attorney
w CUOUOl dCblOh III
for three months his re-examination on
the subject of the checks drawn by Mr..
ParnelI. The court, Mr.. Parnell de-
clared, ought to appoint day for his
re-eXamination, or else discharge him
from further attendance. Presiding
Justice Hannen promised to try to meet
the convenience of Mr.. Parnell by re-
calling him on Thursday.
HAMLET WITH HAMLET OUT.
LONDON, July 16.-Now that the
counsel for the Parnellites have with
drawn from the field, it looks as though
the Parnell commission would play to
empty benches for the balance of the
season. Long before the doors were
thrown open this morning the corridors
leading to the chambers where the
commission holds it's session were
packed with people anxious to gain adj
mission, for it was generally known
that some Of the counsel, II not all,
would to-day make their adieus to the
court, and an interesting scene was ex-
pected. When Sir Charles Russell land
his colleagues finished their statements
to the court and walked out of the room
they were followed by three-fourths of
the spectators present, for whom the
further proceedings before the commits
sion had lost all interest. Mr.. Parnell
is anxious to have his own cross-eXami-
nation before the commission done
with, so that he may be LETT with free
hands when the time comes for him to
go to Edinburgh to accept the free
dom of that city, which the municipal
ity rendered him more than a month
ago. But Attorney General Webster is
evidently determined that Mr.. Parnell
shall not be left free to pitch into the
commission when he gets Edinburgh,
and so. having obtained pOstpOnement
of the cross-eXamination, he purposes
to keep Parnell dancing attendance
upon the commission at his own pleas
ure. 1t is not likely, however, that this
piece of malice on the part of the attor-
ney general will be of any avail. The
ceremony at Edinburgh will prove too
good an opportunity for caustic ar
raignment of the commission by the
Parnelites, and though Mr.. Parnell
himself may be legally estopped from
criticising court before which he is
by this trick kept as witness, there
will be nothing to prevent his giving
utterance to his Indignation through
any one of the Irish orators who will
accompany him on his trip. Whatever
Mr.. Parnell has to say on that occasion
of the commission will be said by Justin
Mccarthy or William O'Brien, but it
will be understood by all concerned that
though the voice is the voice of Jacob,
the hand will be the hand of Esau.
IT WILL PLEASE THE IRISH.
DUBLIN, July 16.-Timothy Healy,
NJ P, presiding at a meeting of the
National league to-day, declared that
the withdrawal of MIR. Parnell and his
colleagues from the commission court
would greatly please the Irish people,
both at home and abroad. For the re-
port of the commission the Parnellites
did not care a rush. Regarding the
Tenants Defense league, he said there
was nothing new in the movement, but
it would put new life and vigor into the
old movement.
THANKED BY THE TIMES.
LONDON, July 17.-The Times, in
leading article to-day, sincerely thanks
Sir Charles Russell and the others for
their assistance in the commission
court. 1t says it is heartily glad that
they did not retire earlier, and cannot
understand why they retire now that
the case is almost concluded. 1t states
that the Irish Loyal and Patriotic union
had nothing whatever to do with the
charges of the Times, and that they
were made entirely on that papers en-
tire responsibility.
LEWIS WILL BE ON DECK.
LONDON, July 1.-THE Standard says
that MIR. Lewis, on behalf,p Mr.. Par
nell, will continue to watch the pro-
ceedings in the commission court.
