BOSTON, Dec. 6.-An interview with Mr..
Parneu, held in Dublin on Saturday, is
printed here to-day. Mr.. Parnell said: Out
of the eighty-nine seats we hoped to carry,
we have failed in only three. They were
doubtful places. Now only one doubtful
seat remains. If we carry it we shall have
seventeen seats in Ulster, or clear majority
of the Northern seats, siXty-eight in the
rest of Ireland and one in England,
which makes eighty-six altogether. If
we fail in South Tyrone where the polling
takes place to-day we shall have sixteen in
Ulster, leaving seventeen to the Tories.
The totals will be either eighty-six Nation
alists and eighteen Tories or eighty-tive Ma
tionalists and nineteen Tories. This bears
out exactly my account last month, except
that thought the Wings might carry four,
or most probably two. seats, whereas now
the party has none at all. 1t will be seen
that the anti-Irish minority is confined al
most entirely to small corner of Ulster,
where the
SCOTCH ADVENTURES
were originally planted.
Correspondent-You must have been
severely taxed for funds in the late con-
tests.
Mr.. Parnell-YeS. The English allies of
the Irish landlords supplied e16, 900 to start
bogus candidates, in the hope of exhaust
ing our treasury, but this hope was de-
feated by the opportune arrival of money
from various parts OF America. We did,
however, spend e15, 900 and this certainly
was a heavy drain. The necessity,
therefore, for continued subscriptions
is more pressing than ever, especially as
more than half Of the new party will need
financial aid to maintain their constant at
tendance in parliament, but contests forced
upon us have served as an extraordinary
demonstration of the weakness Of the So
called Loyalists9 s9everywhere outside of u
ster. Those results can be handled with
enormous effect by the English leader, who
may propose constitution for Ireland.
Correspondent-Wha do you think will
happen in parliament?
Mr.. Parnell-It is very difficult to pre-
dict whether or not the Liberals will have
MAJORITY OVER THE TORIES
and Nationalists, but neither the Liberals
nor the Tories with the Nationalists can
have more than majority of ten, and
therefore l think the new parliament can't
last long. AS to our policy, can only say
it will be guided by circumstances. We
declarations by English leaders on the Irish
question. That will be the question unless
foreign complications arise.
Correspondent-Wha about the Liberal
coalition With the government?
MI. Parnell-I don't believe in its posi-
bility. I see no converging lines between
any large sections of the two English par
ties. Even if possible, such a comination
could not last long. doubt whether the
Tories could detach even twelve from the
Liberals for the purpose of
A COALITION MINISTRY,
and the dozen so detached would be poor
substitute for our eighty-siX votes.
Correspondent-Whc party do you
think will settle the question?
Mr.. Parnell-I expect the settlement will
come from the Liberals, for, assuming that
they would be about equal to the Tories
and Nationalists combined, we could
give them majority of ITO. which
would be quite sufficient to enable them to
deal with the Irish and every other ques-
tion, even making allowance for possible
detection from their ranks, whereas the
Tories cannot, even with our aid. get more
than bare majority, and would be ham,

eighteen or nineteen followers from Ire
land
