THE rAKNELL COMMISSION.
Michael Davitt Defends the Cause OF Il
Irish rcople.

Irish People,
LoSpoS. Oct. 2--The Parneli commis-
sion resumed sittings today. Joseph Digge,
member of parliament, who appeared in
his own behalf, addressed the commission.
Michael Davitt followed him. He said
that in addressing the commission, he was
running counter 70 the opinion of the peo.
pie of Ireland. who iniorsed his with
drawal from the case of Parnell and coli
leagues. He was impelied TO the course he
had adopted by two cardinal principles Of
his life-religious adherence and truth and
justice, and the defense of the character
and cause of the Irish peasantry. Davitt
declared that although he was no longer
Fenian, il the condition of Ireland were tho
same as it was twenty-five years ago. he
would be a fenian again. Some VI the aims
of the Fenians, he said, had been fulfilled
already. The land league. based on the
same patriotic spirit, was iast relieving the
barriers which prevent Great Britain from
giving justice TO Ireland. The day is fast
approaching when Dublin castle will
quietly submit the fate of the Irish church.
At the very time the Fenian outrages were
being committed, the Manchester trade
commission was in session and the evil
dence given before it showed the worst
kind of outrages there. for which outrages
no one was brought to justice. lie denied
the statement OF Patrick Delaney. the con-
victed dynamiter, who was brought from
Ireland to London To testify for the Times,
that the amnesty movement was under
Fenian control. and accused Delany OF will
full, deliberate perjury. No agent. he de-
clared, had done more TO keep alive the ma
tionai antipathy of the Irish in America
than the brutal language OF the Times with
regard to the determination of the people
OF Ireland resulting from the great famine
