pARNELL's REPLY TO LORD CHURCHILL.
SPRINGFIELD, Jan. 30.-Parnell, speaking
IN the city tonight, referring to Lord AL
fred Churchill's cable, said: This young
noblemau says that my statement that the
relief fund of the Duchess of Marlborough
is being administered for political purposes,
is false. Now, have the best and most re-
cent information from the distressed dis
tricts that my statement is absolutely true,
and that all persons out of favor with
their landlords are precluded from particl-
patton. More than one parish priest also
has already complained thai the iund Is
being administered for sectarian purposes.
The word of descendant of one of the
band of the notorious Sarah Jennings, mis-
tress of the Duke of York, and, on the other
hand, of Churchill, first duke of Marlbor-
ough, of whom Macaulay writes as follows:
THAT he owed his rise to his sisters dis
honor, and that he bad been kept by
the most profuse, imperious and shameless
of harlots,' will be scanned somewhat close
Iy by the American people who, at least, can
boast that their ancestors were honest men
and women.
Adyerting to the Mansion house commit
tee, he said apart from the hierarchy there was
not single member of it who possessed the
confidence or respect of the Irish people.
