Parnem will not Attend the Opening
OF Parliament
Thos. O'Connor's Views OF the situa-
tion.

| L., who Just returned 10 London from
very successful tour of the provinces,
during which he delivered many lee
lures on the present condition of affairs
in Ireland and the aims and objects OF
the land league, very much in the line
of his graphic and absorbing paper IN
the last number OF the Contemporary
Reriei0. O'Connor said to me that he
believed the situation in ireland was
most grave and threatening, and that
bloody Christmas was not at all improb-
able. In his opinion, the greatest dan
ger was to be apprehended In the west,
where every male is armed to the teeth,
and where all have revolvers, many ri
lies Of the most approved pattern and
no inconsiderable number carry both
kinds of weapons. II had been assert
ed, he said, that the fenian agents were
at work among thepeople, but he denied
emphatically that the people were or
ganizing, and said, that in his opinion,
distinctly fenian uprising was highly
improbable. Further, the success SO
far Of the land league. which is winning
all along the line, make fenian move
ment entirely needless.
Speaking OF the stories of violence put
about, O'Connor denied that the league
had harmed or intended 10 harm the
people; he said it may have been OBJ
tanned through the Irish-American So
cieties.
Dublin, Dec. lS.-As the matters
concerning the state trials are now ar.
ranged by the land league, Parnell will
not insist on attenning the opening of
parliament on January 9th, as he had
intended doing, even at the risk OF per-
sonal collision with the government au-
thorities. Ills reason for making this
change of purpose is that he hopes by
submission TO the government anthori-
ties they may be induced to postpone
the trials within fortnight, and so en-
able him and other indicted land
leaguers TO reach parliament in time for
the opening. A large number of the
troops seut to Ireland will be scattered
through the west.
