Parnell, and turned all the matter they
found into tho fire. They took possession
Of the ledgcrs and other books and docu-
ments belonging TO the concern. All this

to resis, with force any further intrusion
by Parnell and his friends. II is stated
that the suppressed edition of the paper
will appear TO morrow.
A tremendous crowd greeted Parneli at

places TO immense throngs.
Mr.. Healy on three occasions was hooted
to-day. The last time he tried to address
the people when the crowd made a rush
for him, hustling him around and smashing
his hat down over his eyes. A man named
Morgan was arrested for assaulting him
with a stick.
The anti-Parnell members OF the Irish
parliamentary party have issued their
nr spi trapffas,n ~ ha L..
In this they say:
ave arc bound 10 protect our country's
cause at whatever personal sacrifice. We
found ourselves under the sad necessity
OF terminating MIR. Parneil's leadership
II would have been easier TO have left him
uudisturbed, but such a course would have
left every man Of US traitor to his coun-
try"
Tho manifesto continues "Thc final
question which rests with the Irish nation
Is, lose all for Parnell, or win all without
him. Home rule with Gladstone is safe.n
The signers sag they refuse to abandon
Mr. Gladstone for MIR. Parnell or to insis.
on the Liberal leaders, revealing his plans
for home rule, which action they say
would be TO foolishly give an advantage to
!rclaud's foes.
Tho signcrs say that Parncll's fatal
manifesto was an appeal to tho hatred
between the people OF Great Britain and
ireland and makes II impossible for him
hereafter TO cooperate with tho Liberal
party. The siSners never deserted Mr..
Parnell, but ho them, and the honor of
ireland is safe in their hands through
good or evil fortune. Tho signers Of tho
manifesto pledge themselves TO remain up
independent party, thus iusuriug final
sictory for the Irish cause under tho
auspices of the alliance OF the British dc.
nocracy and the British people.
The manifesto concludes thus:
"Fellow countrymcn, the issue VIC sub
nit TO you is one upon which the fortunes
u our country must depend. May God
lcfond the right
