Messrs. Parnell, Dillon and Davitt arrived
here from Dublin by the American mail train,
en- route for New York by the Scythia. On
their passage from Dublin they received no
ovation, but when the train arrived at Queens
town the party was met by a deputation of Cork
farmers, a sort of agricultural club, headed
by Chairman Riordan. No arrangements were
made to give Parnell reception. Only
two temperance bands met the agitator
They played national airs on the arrival of the
tender Jackal. Parnell was greeted at the
Queenstown station with weak cheer. His
compatriots Dillon and Davitt, proceed to New

from the Irish-Americans.

board ship. At the Queenstown terminus
Alderman Keller and Alderman DAILY addressed
Mr.. Parnell, wishing him prosperous journey.
Mr.. O'Sullivan also spoke. He said they could
obtain constitutionally everything that they
required. Mr.. Parnell expressed his acknowl-
edgnents. He said he was sure that Americans
would now accord to Ireland the sympathy
they had ever shown. A slight scene was oc-
casioned by an address from Mr.. Doran, of
Queenstown. who expressed himself as being
very much opposed to anything in tho nature of
begging from America. As for constitutional
agitation, lie said that none of the gentlemen
who had spoken had ever got anything for
Ireland by going to Parliament. and had only
succeeded in spending their money there
