 LIVERPOOL, Dec. 19.-At banquet at which MT. Parnell was entertained tonight a check for $17, 300, the sum of the proceeds of the Liverpool Tenants' Defense fund, was presented to him.

He again declared that the object of the Homo Rule party was to secure the industrial development of Tree land. Why should the promoters of plan of campaign that kept agitation free from crime be treated as criminal? Earl Spencer's 6 coercion was directed at real prime, but Bal four's WAS only against shop keepers for re- fusfng to sell. Irishmen had in times past some justification for hostility to England, but now they entered ioyfully and hand-in- hand with English Liberals into battle, which he trusted was very near.
