LONDON, Feb. 23.-The Times prints a
copy of the manifesto just issued by thirty
old members of the Irish Republican
Brotherhood, resident in London, ad-
dressed to all members of the Brotherhood,
expressing the horror and shame with
which they read the disgraceful story
told in the Kilmainham court house.
Ihe STANDARD says: "No speech of re-
cent years has produced such interest and
excitement as Mr.. FOrster's attack last
FRIENDS and foes admitted il to have been
the greatest effort he ever made. The
speech was afterwards keenly and eagerly
discussed in the lobby of the House."
There was much excitement in the
House OF Commons at the opening of the
session this afternoon, as it was expected
that Mr.. Parnell would speak in answer
to the charges made against him bv Mr..
Forster yesterday. A large number of
persons were in the lObbies, being unable
to find room in the House. The strangers
gallery and peers gallery were filled, and
the seats of all the members We're re-
served.
Mr.. Parnell said the utmost he desired
to do was to make his position clear to
the Irish people at home and abroad Mr..
Forster, he said, ought to be ashamed for
traducing him. He declined to re-
ply to FOrster's questions, and
charged that gentleman with having
asked him (Parnell) to inform against
his associates. If Mr.. Forster had be-
lleyed that the articles published in the
Irish World were likely to incite crime
why had he not stopped the circulation of
that paper! He compared the RESPONSE
bllIty OF MIR. Forster, who had read the
articles and believed what the
result would be, to that of himself.
who had never read them, though they
were now brought against him. Mr..
Forster had unfairly singled out the name
of Sheridan as mentioned in the "Kil-
mainham treaty. negotiations. WHY
did he suppress the names of Dayitf.
Eagan and BOyton, who were also mem
toned as likely to endeavOr to prevent the
Outrages in Ireland?
Mr.. Forster exclaimed: ''They were not
mentioned to me-"
Mr.. Parnell, continuing, said he had
been challenged to defend himself, but he
had nothing to defend himself from. He
occupied a better position in the ewes of
the Irish than Mr.. Forster did in England.
MIR. Forster was also guilty of SuppreSSiO
reri, because the heading in United
ireland over the column recording, ont
RACES ceased the moment Mr.. O'Brien,
editor OF that paper, was liberated from
prison. Mr.. Forster's unfairness was
shocking.
Mr.. Parnell also analyses the evidence
OF Carey at the hearing of the Irish pris-
oners in Dublin, which he said was not
statement of fact, but of belief or hear
says. 1t had been already disprOved as
regards Mrs. Byrne. The evidence in
reference to the source of the murder
fund, he said, rested upon the fact that
some men while in prison had received
checks from the sustenatiOn fund of the
Land League. Such aid had been given
to thousands of prisoners. Mr.. FOrs-
ter's animus was due to the fact that he
had attempted to obtain promise from
him Parnell), but had failed to do so and
had lost his office.
In concluding his remarks Mr.. ParnelI
declared that the present officials in Ire
land were manifestly unfit to administer
the crimes act, and Forster ought to
return to his cOngenial work.
Mr.. Parnell said he was hopeful that
Ireland would weather this as she had
weathered other formidable expressions.
He spoke for So minutes.
MIR. Justin Mccarthy, member for Long
ford, has written to Mr.. Forster informing
him that he will personally attack him
during the speech which he (McCarthy)
intends to make in the House of Com
mons.
Sir Stafford NOrthcOte has given notice
that he will move for the appointment of
a committee to inquire into the matter of
the release of Parnell, Dillon and O'Kelly
from Kilmainham Jail.
Tie Prince of Wales was present in the
gallery the whole time Mr.. Parnell was
delivering his speech.
Mr.. Trevelyan, Chief Secretary for
Ireland, in reply to Mr.. ParneH, pro-
ceeded to vindicate the policy of the gov
ernment in Ireland. Since the present
government there had been commissioned
to suppress crime the number of murders
had been reduced from three monthly to
Dne i'll the last four and half months,
The only policy for Ireland was to
say exactly what the government meant |
10 do and then do it, He regretted that |
Mr., Parnell had not made his position
clearer, Mr.. GOrst's amendment in reply |
to the speech from the throne was dis |
tasteful to Earl Spencer the Lord |
Lieutenant of Ireland, and to himself, and |
would, If carried, lead to their resigna- !
lions, as we'll as to the resignation of the |
Cabinet. He thought that nothing would |
be more fatal to Ireland than to hand the |
of its government to local |
bodies.
Mr.. Trevelyan said if the government
we're convinced that the life of any official /
)r private person had been pointed at by |
netting language of the press, they would |
act again.
During Mr.. ParnelPs speech Mr.. O'Shea,
member for Clare, exclaimed that Boy
on, Eagan and Davitt were mentioned to /
Mr. Forster as proof that the prisoners
charged with the Phoenix Park murders |
we're not members of the Land League.
Mr.. Parnell pointed out during his
speech that one of them had returned the
heck which had been sent to him from
he sustenati0n fund, saying that he had
lothing to do with the league.
Mr.. Parnell has telegraphed to Mr.. Sex
on requesting him to come to London to
participate in the debate in the House of
Commons.
Mr.. TreYelyan said the government |
youldnOt press the present proceeding /
against John O'Brien, whose sentence to |
for using intimidating Ian
,uage against landlords was confirmed
ecently, and who was arrested to un-
leroO his punishment
In the House of Commons tonight, Sir
stafford NOrthcOte said he would be sorry
o weaken or harass the government, but |
ven if the result be to cause him to re-
ign, it would be better that that should
Happen than that the country, relying on
! false security, should be led back to
he ministerial policy of the past
Mr.. Chamberlain declared that as long /
