concessions to demands which he has heretofore
rejected with contempt. including reduced tarlhs'

of the existing canal. He promises to begin work
Immediately upon new canal. The English SHIP
owners respond by raising large fund for the pre-

THE POPE AND THE PARNELurEs.
Irish accounts Indicate pretty general acquies-
cence on the part of the priests IN the Popes COM
mands, few taking partin the attempts to gayanlze
the Parnell fund by means of meetings to promote
subscriptions organized by the Parnel wirepullers.
Many speeches reported, but not much
money is actually given. II Is alleged that con-
siderable sums are subscribed. but no Trustworthy
statement of the total has been published. Arch
bishop Croke's return welcomed cordially

submission to the Pope, reluctant but sufficient.

enthusiasm and loyal affection, to which the Eng
