ties at once questioned the correct
ness OF these figures, and asserted that
they had been dOctored in the inieres Of
Parnell. The edition Of United Ireland,
which was about being issued when Mr..
Parnell invaded the premises and ordered
the destruction of all the copies IN exist

LONDON. Dee. l0.-The war is now trans
ferred from Parliament TO Ireland, and the
leaders OF both parties are in haste TO have
Il wOri with their constituencies. Parnell
is as nhexiblc as ever, and his supporters
say that not step will be taken by him to-
ward any compromise Of arrangement.
The proceedings in Parliament Monday,
when Timothy Healey endea7ored 10
seize Parnel's seat, were viewed
with disgust by men of both the
English political parties, and llealey is the
object of much adverse criticism on account
of his aggressive manner and insulting
tone toward his former leader. II is stated
on semi.0iiicial authority that the Govern
ment does not contemplate coming 10 az
understanding with Mr.. Parnell. After the
passage Of the Land Purchase, the Tithes,
and other bills, Parliament will probably
dissolve and 20 to the country again on the
issue of maintaining the integrity OF the
