Parnell Replies to Forster's Attack.
LONDON, Feb. 23.-There was much excite
ment in the Commons at the opening of the
session this afternoon, as it was expected Par
nell would speak in answer to the charges
made against him by Forster Parnell said the
utmost he desired to do was to make his posi-
tion clear to the Irish people at home and
abroad. Forster ought to be ashamed in ira
ducing him. He declined to reply to Forster's
questions and charged that gentleman with hav
ing disclosed the secrets of his (Parnells) as
sociates. Ii Forster had believed the articles
published in the Irish World vera likely to in
cite crime why had he not stopped the circula-
tion OF that paper. he compared the RESPONSE
bility of Forster who had read the articles and
believed what the result would be, to that of
nimst II, VIII never read them though they
were now brought against him.
dustin Mccarthy has written Forster in
forming him he will personally attack him
during speech which he intends to make in
the Commons
Parnell continued: He had been challenged
to defend himself, but he had nothing to de-
fend himself from. He occupied a better no.
in England Forster was also guilty of sup
presto eeri because the heading in United
Ireland Incidents of cimpaigno over the col
1nm recording outrages, ceased the moment
" Obrlen, editor of that paper, was liberated
from prison. Mr. Forsters unfairness was
shocking. Parnel also analyzed the evidence
OF Carey at the hearing of the Irish prisoners
in Dublin, which he said was not statement
OF fact, but of belief or hearsay. Evidently in
reference to the source of the murder fund he
said ha rpqtad II tho faot hot
men while in prison had received checks from
the sustentation fund of the Land League.
Such aid had been given to thousands of pris-
oners. Forsters animus was due to the fact
that he had attempted to obtain promise
from him (Parnell) but had failed and had lost
his office. The present officials in Ireland
were manifestly unfit to administer the crimes
act.
The Prince of Wales was present in the GAL
iery the whole time Parnell was delivering his
speech.
Trevelyan. Chief Secretary for ireland in re-
ply TO Parnell, proceeded to vindicate the poll
cy Of the government in Ireland Since the
present government there has been commiss-
ioued to suppress crime the number of murders
had been re duced from 8 monthly to one in the
last four and one-half months. The only poll
cy for Ireland was to say exactly what the
government meant to do and then do it, He
regretted Parnell had not made his position
clearer. Gorst's amendment to the address
AZ AOpt1 " tuc opotCu from Tue throne was
distasteful TO Earl Spencer, Lord Lieut. of he
and and to himself and would, if carried
lead to their registrations as we'll as to the res
lgnations of the Cabinet. He thought moth
ing would be more fatal to Ireland then to
hand over the responsibility of the government
to local bodies Trevelyan said if the govern
ment were convinced the life of any official or
private person had been pointed at by
the melting language of the press they would
act ag ain.
During Parnells snaeob O,Sbao avoIo;r,oa
Messrs. Boyton, Egan and Davitt were men,
toned 10 Forster as proof that the prisoners
charged with the Phoenix Park murders were
not members of the land league.
ParDell pointed out during his speech that
one oil them had returned check which had
been sent him from the sustentaton fund say
ing he had nothing to do with the league
Tonight Sir Stafford Northcote said he would
be sorry TO weaken or harass the government,
but even IL the result besto cause them to resign
it would be better that it should happen than
that relying on false security it should be led
back to the ministerial policy of the past
Chamberlain declared that as long Forster
remained in the CabiDent he was loyalty sup
ported by his colleagues and there was no un-
worthy intrigue against him.
Gorst's amendment was rejected The Par
nellites abstained from voting and Messrs Nc
Cam and Blake, Irish home-rulers voted
with the majority.
The Times on Parnell.
The Times saws the marked rejection, by Mr..
Parnell in the House of Commons yesterday of
the opporntunity offered him for clearing
himself from the discredit of holding relations
with the Irish assassins might be justified is
his political condnct had been from the begin
ming above suspicion. The country the Times
says, cannot be expected to view with favor
conduct which seems wanting in courage or
candor.
