LONDON, July 23.-At the opening of
the Parnell com mission today Mr.. Par
nell WAS called to the witness stand. In
answer TO questions the Irish Lender de-
MED that any letters between himself and
Mr.. Harris had been withheld when he
submitted his correspondence to the
Times counsel. All the letters had been
sent to Solicitor Soames.
Attorney General Webster intimated
that he would call to the stand every wit
ness whose testimony was necessary to
assist him in tracing the booKs of the
land league. Mr.. Parnell deposed that
he had instructed his solicitor, Mr.. Lewis
to subpoena Maloney TO produce the
books. The witness was unable to say
wnat amount of league money Egan End
other trustees of the league had invested
in his name in France. In October, 1882

lief fund, showing the expenditure 70 be
100000, leaving balance of G3l, 800.
The witnes said he had tahen no steps

Labouchsre, he said, had brought from
America from Egan, valuable clues re-
gsrding the Piggot forgeries.
Presiding Justice Hannah here asked
the witness; "Would you instruct your
Paris bankers to produce the accounts
of the trust fuudf"

ENGLISH INVENTORS.

English capitalists are now looking this
country over With a view to buy it. What
ever they take q fancy to they buy on
sight, if 1T is puschasahle. They always
have lands aud ranches, and railroads,
and mills, aud dry goods es' Adjustments,
and breSeries. Eaglish capital is seeking
investment in every direction. Bat the
country il none the worse of for il. 1t
is not the first tune, and it probably will
MOI be the last, that Eagiishmen have
sought an Ell Dorado on this continent.
For more than half century their money
has pour,d q into the United States to
build our railroads aud enrich the Goulds,
McH enrys, Covers, aud Nauderbilts of
the new world. Their money is very
acceptable and we are glad to havs it,
Thess Investments are made on account
of the EnSlish trusts, with which Blaine
once said England was piastersd all over.
They are very different trusts" however,
from the American eombires, being
merely stock com mpsnies, formed for the
purpose of investing money. London is
full OF these "huobles" to-day, aud they
are likely to grow. Companies arc form
ed to invest money all over the world,
but particularly in the United States.
Many have ii tsttd their money legiu-
mately aud may reach some profit. But
unless all experience is belied, settle
ment day will come which will burst the
bubbles. But the money is coming over
for the present, and there never was q
time when the Yankees didn't have plenty
Of things TO sell. II our English cousins
think they are going to get the better of
the bargain they are quite welcome to
that opinion. They have already invest
ed $500, 600, 900 IN our railroads, and have
very little 10 show for it except a few
chronos. It is said that the country
houses OK England ar. papered with
Wabash stock certificates. The further
xest the British investors go the sooner
will they become convinced that all the
wise men do not come from the east.
