What Davitt Says. Lonpon, July 7,

_ Michael Davitt, at an Irish demonstra- tion at Glasgow yesterday, denied that there was any collision between O'Donnell and the T'imes, and he said the suit had been brought at the instigation of him- self and other Nationalists in the House that they would receive an impartial hear. ing from a British judge, but they had been greviously disappointed. The Attorney- General's assertion that the charges made by the Times would compel the Govern- ment to place Parnell and himself (Davitt) in the dock to answer the charge of con- spiracy to murder, and he challenged the Attorney-General to adopt such a course. There could be no shirkng of the issue. Public meetings are to be held to gain signatures to a petition, asking Parliament to take decisive measures to bring the charges against the Parnellites to a definite conclusion,
