A Long Suffering Lot.

The merchants on the west side of
Alamo plaza are the most long suffer-
ing, patient mortals in existence or
they would long ago have remons STRAIT
ed against the snail-like operations
called paving which have broken up
business for weeks in that section of
the city. Forbearance at last ceased
to be virtue, and the counsel would
have been asked to consider remon-
STRANGE couched in very vigorous Eng
lish had that august but invisible
body materialized on yesterday even
ing. The petitioners complain, and
most justly, Of the long months
that have passed since the work
of paving that plaza commenced;
of the stagnant pools left by the
contractors to fill with water and
tester with pestilent odors under
burning sun; of the long weeks dur
ing which their customers have been
fenced out from them and the conse-
quent interruption and temporary de-
struction of their trade; of the incon-
venience attending street car travel
and impossibility of reaching the
cars from any point in the plaza with
out wading through pools Of stagnant
water, or through mud ankle deep, or
over piles of paving material. The
injustice and hardship suffered on
this account by merchants and those
who desire to shop upon the plaza can
hardly be overestimated. The many
months that have elapsed since that
work commenced give little promise
of any speedy completion, the right
of remonstrance is not denied, but the
benefit of any remonstrance does not
as yet appear.

LONDON, July 16.-Upon the opening

ing, Sir Charles Russell, counsel for
Parnell, arose and addressed the
court, stating that after full considera-
tion Of the situation, Mr.. Parnell had
instructed him and Mr.. Asquith, also
of the counsel, to no longer represent
him before the commission. In reply
to Sir Charles statement, which vir-
tually was notification that Parnell
declines to make any further presen-
tation of his case before the commits
sion, Presiding Justice Hammer said:
"Mr. Parnell will of course remain
subject to the jurisdiction 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. Parnell made personal appli-
cation to the court, asking if there
was any design to further examine
him, such examination be proceeded
with without delay. He complained
OF Attorney General Webster's action
in postponing for three months bis re-
examination on the subject of checks
drawn by Parnell. The court, Mr..
Parnell declared, ought to appoint a
day for his re-examination, or else
discharge him from further attend
ance. Presiding Justice Hammer
promised to try to meet the convent
ence Of Mr.. Parnell by recalling him
on Thursday.
