NEW YORK, Jan. 5.--At his reception yes
terday Mr., Parnell on being introduced by
Judge Gilderslesve made a long address.
thanking those present for the cordial recep-
tion given him, and explaining the object Of
his mission to America. ~ was biz original
intention, he said, to collect money only for
the purpose OF political organization Id Ire
land, but the danger of the impending famine
In that country suggested the adyisabity Of
receiving also subscriptions to relieve the
distress of the people, SO far as 1t could be
relieved by private charity.
The funds would be kept separate, however,
and the people could contribute TO either one.
The present distress, ha said, IL the result of
the unequal and artificial avstem OF land
tenure In Ireland, aud while relieving tho dis
treas we must take care not to luse the pres
ent unexampled opportunity of sweeping
away the bad system which causes 1t. MIR.
Parnell reviewed at great length the history
of the English government of Ireland. and
condemned the cruelty and neglect Of British
officials In that country, as well as the sys-
tenn which they administer.

AN EPISODE OF HAYES's NEW YEAR.
Mr.. De Alma Delivers an Invective in the
Presence Of the Callers.
New York sun.l

WASHINGTON. Jan. lone OF the worst
cases OF Injustice under the present admins.
tration is that Of Col. Henry @. De Alma, State
collector OF customs at Sitka, Alaska. Mr.
De Alma, after being appointed col
Senate without good cause, and simply
on account of the negligence with which
John Sherman treated his case. He was i'm
poyerished by the expenses OF his journey
to Alaska and return, and the administration
has steadily refused to do anything for him.
The Finance Committee of the Senate, the
other day, wrote Sherman that 1t had knowl-
edge OF the circumstances under which De
Alma lost his place; that 1t WAS misappre-
hension; that he was q faithful, mertorlou5
officer, and recommended him for position
In the Treasury Department. This letter was
received with sneers by Sherman and Hawley.
Yesterday De Alma went into Sherman's Of
fics and excttedly repeated the story Of his
wrongs, and swore that justice should be
done him. Sherman called for the messengers
to put him out but De- Alma told them to
stand off, hurled more invectives at Sherman,
and departed.
To- lay, at the citizens reception at the
White House, in the presence OF hundreds of
visitors, De Alma stood ND and told Mr..
Hayes that he had been seeking justice here
for the past eighteen months, and now had
come to tell him that il Divine Providence
would inAtct upon him the one-huudredth
part of the disgrace, poverty and suffering
tnat nHa Deen lanlcLed upon MIS- tDe Anna'sl
family for the past two years, Hayes would
not have happy moment of his life; "and,"
ne continued, neither do you deserve it."
Here the police rushed In and took hold OF
De Alma, but he found time to shout, sHere
we have very small would-be despot, who
does not know how"
The incident created q great deal Of excite
ment among the crowd, which had to b.
parted all through the house and at the main
entrance to let De Alma pass out. Hayes
during De Ahna's shouting, kept ducking his
head and attempting to greet the other visit
ors, who till then seemed anxious to hear
De Alma through New York Sun.
