Preparations on a Grand Scale..He
May Not Come, However.
NEW YORK. Dec. 17.-Preparations for
the reception of Mr.. Parnell, although up
to the present conducted in private, are
represented to be on grander scale than
any former Irish movement in this city.
The cooperation of such Irish-Americans
as Eugene Kelly, John d. Crimmons,
Mayor Grace, Joseph J. O'Donahue, Myles
M. OBrien, James T. Coleman, Morgan j.
O'Brien, John Devoy and others we'll known
in banking, business and professional cir
cleS has been secured in the formation of a
citizens committee, together with delegates
from the National league and various other
Irish societies, and everything but the
minor details of the reception has been ar
ranged. Nearly all the city officials of Irish
birth or descent and many prominent Amer
leans have promised their support to the
movement. 1t is also expected that Gov.
Hill will preside at the reception.
Suitable arrangements will be made
to give a place of honor
to the visiting delegations from other states
and cities. The committee will make it a
point of honor to keep it clear even Of a
suspicion of
AMEklCAN PARIY POLITICS..
Prominent Irishmen here say that unless
the Chicago dissensions are healed. the con-
vention which is to meet in that city in
January will be failure. In evidence of
this feeling an urgent appeal from promi-
nent New York Irishnen has been cabled
to Mr.. Parnell, asking him not to ieopardize
his position by coming to this country at
all. Mr.. Parnell has replied through one
of hiS 1iQutQpoptc thof bo 10 oixri fbo +
ter his most careful consideration. A
member of parliament, who is in Mr.. Par
nelrs confidence, has written to a friend
here stating that unless the deplorable
Chicago Quarrels. and the attempted ostra-
cism of leading Irish citizens are speedily
stopped, the Irish leader will not come to
America or give the convention any coun-
tenance. 1t is predicted that the parlia-
mentary fund now being collected by the
committee here will reach $100, 900 in a
short time.
SUCCESSFUL IN ELECTIONS.
DETROIT, Mich, Dec. 17.-The follow
ing letter has been received by Rev. Dr.
O'Reil]y, treasurer of the Inush Matte
league of America and is its own explana-
ton:
Dublin, Dec. 5, 1sS5.-My Dear Father
O'Reilly: The enormous work thrown upon
us here during the past fortnight in connec-
ton with the general election has interrupted
the regular Acknowledgement of your remit
tances. have duly handed to the treasurer
of the parliamentary fund your favors of
Oct. 21. 27 and 2S, and Nov. 6, 9 and IA, each
inclosing a remittance of $1,000 in favor of
the parliamentary fund. Our elections are
passing off with wonderful success. Unreal
and vexatious contests have been forced upon
US by constituencies where our opponents are
not able to muster 8 per cent. of the electors,
and this policy has been INDUCED in for the
purpose of exposing us to cost and draining
away the resources Of the organization. The
generosity of our friends in America has well
enabled us to sustain the fight and the crush
ing and overwhelming defeats which our op-
ponents have received at the polls prove con-
clusively to the world what an Insignificant
section of the Irish people are opposed to the
principle of national self-government. Mr..
Maloney will inclose you receipts in the name
of the trustees of the parliamentary fund. 1
| remain, my dear Father O'Reilly, yours sim
cerely, T. HARRINGTON,
Home Secretary.
