INTERVIEW WITH MIR. PARNELL
HIS ADVICE TO THE PARNELLITES.

URGING THEM TO ABANDON OBSTRUCTION METH
obs IN THE COMMONS.
DUBLIN Jan. 16.-A reporter Of The Free
mans Journal has had an interview with Mr..
Parnell. Mr.. Parnell believes there is no doubt
that grave dIssension exists among the members
of the Cabinet and that q Government party crisis
may occur at any time next season over some
English question. He urges the Parnellites and
Radicals to facilitate Government business and
thus avoid the charge of obstruction. He says
the Liberal Unionists are certain to separate on
English matters.
Mr. Parnell says that the recent reductions Of
rent made by the Land Commission are not half
what the tenants of Ireland are entitled to and
urges the party to take such action will oblige
the Sub Commissioners to re-cXamne the whole
question. He expresses the belief that the
Nationalists will gain three members in Ulster at
the next Parliamentary election.
The followers of Mr.. Parnell in Parliament arc
greatly dissatisfied with his advice to abandon
obstruction methods.

An accident of small importance occurred near
the station of the Manhattan Elevated Railway at

yesterday Engine No. Az which draws the bag
gage car between the station named and the New

Fifty -nfth-st, was rounding up to transfer the
baggage car from the middle track, where it had
been standing to the main uptown track. In
passing the switch connecting the tracks the
switch stand bolt broke and allowed the switch
rail to stand oil a few inches from the main rail
The result was that the front wheels OF the
engine dropped from the rails. The engineer
realized the situation at once and stopped the
engine The block signal" on which Colonei
Hahn relies to give notice of accidents, sent out
the proper notice with all possible rapidity the
entire length Of the line, and the train coming
uptown from SiXthave. and then crossing over 10
Eighthave was pulled up before it reached the
spot, thus preventing anything like an accident
to the passenger train and scoring one for the
uptown Siyth-avc stations hung out their placards
"Line Blocked and told the public accordingly,
but the delay this time was Of short duration.
The accident happened at an hour when the trains
were running on six minutes headway and I'M
mediately after train had gone up Ii took
just eight minutes to put the engine back on the
rails repair the damage and clear the track, so
that the actual block Of the road lasted two
minutes.
