About Funds for Erin.

DUBLIN, Dec. 29.-The Freemdn's Jour
nal to-day announces that the conference
between Messrs. Pnrnell and 0'Brien takes
place tomorrow at Boulogne-sur-h her. 1t
adds that John Redmond and Messrs Kenny
aud Clancy, and perhaps Campbell, mem
bers of parliament, will be present.
Vicont Scully, who was recently defeated
by Sir John Pope Hennessy in the contest
for the North Kilkenny seat in parliament,
has written letter to the FreeNan's Jour.
nal, in which he says that the attitude OF
the Irish bishops bsfore aud during
the election referred to only shows
that Mr.. Parnell, having "commltted
a private vice. and allowed Judgment by de-
fault TO be delivered against him, therefore
has been pronounced TO be no longer eligi-
BILE TO a position of public trust Mr..
| ScullY says the Irish struggle Is essentially
a political and not a moral one. as the
struggle is for leave for the Irish to manage
Irish affaiia after their own fashion. The
struggle is one Of pounds, shilling and pence.
and not OF sacraments
| A PARNELLITE PROCLAMATION.
| ATHLoNE, Dec 29.--Roscommon and
| Westmeath are being excited by a procla-
nation placarded in all the prominens places.
| 1t states that true Irishmen have resolved TO
| support their independence, and that the
| Kilkenny reverse is "a trumpoJ call for
| you to close your ranks aud make
/ a last supreme fight for the cause "
1t adds that the "fatherland is threatened
by oalami surprising a thousand coer-
| cion acts-the lowering of the flag OF indie
pendence on the vague promise of Brit
ish statesman. Irish history teens with
disasters resulting from reliance placed
upon English promises"
The proclamation asks the people to sus-
tain the tried policy Of an independent party
1 fK. III fhn Ia
Of Ireland and America united behind it, it
should sustain the leader who made that
policy and led you to victory until now.
The issue between the independent party
| was as TO whether the people should
choose their own leader and party,
or as to whether they should become merely
part OF the English liberals and accept a
leader dictated by English leaders That
| would not be home rule. We want real
home rule--the home rule for which EN-
met and other patriots gave their noble
lives. We were advancing 10 victory under
a good leader. Support him and Irelaad's
cause forever God save Ireland"
LMEmcKs BISHOP AT ROME.
ROME, Dec. 29.-Cops v rable comment
has been caused In ecclesiastical circles hero
to-day by report TO the effect that Rt.
Rev. Charles Graves, d. d., bishop Of
| Limerick, has been in this city incognito
out to DO correct, and the bishops presence
here at the Same time that Sir George
| Errington liz In this city 10 regarded as a
curious coincidence at least. There are
many people who believe that the bishops
visit relates TO Irish affairs In general and
10 Mr. Parnell in particular. At the vad-
can it is declared that all the action
thus far taken by tho Irish bishop
has been taken wi hout a hint of
any description, much less an order from
the pope. 10 is admitted, however, af
already stated, that the bishops attitude
during the recent political contest In north
Kilkenny is approved OF at the vatican
aud that no reprimand will be sent TO the
Irish priests.
PARNELL IN PARIS.
PARIS. Dec 2S.--Mr. Parnel arrived in
Paris to-day.
Messrs. Gin and o'Brisn have gone to
Boulogne. Before they left Mr.. O'Brien

porter. The only subject upon which he
was willing to talk was the funds subscribed
in tine United States during the recent tour

gard TO this matter Mr.. O'Brien said: "All
| rumors about the dispute for the fund pro-
ceeded from enemies OF the Irish cause. No
man on either side In the p esent conflict In
the Irish party has the smallest fear that
there will be any mlsdirection OF
the national funds The fund here
in Paris was subscribed for general
political purposes and remains in
suspense, pending settlement OF
the differences in the party. As TO the
American funds Just subscribed no differ
ence can arise. They by mutual agreement
will be forwarded as originally intended tc
the two treasurers originally selectsd-Mr.
Webb and DR.. Kenny. BY them the furds
will be expended solely for the
purpose they were subscribed for-the
support Of evicted tenants. This
months grants have already been
arranged for In the friendicst manner pos
sIble between the representatives. OF both
sections OF the party, and they will go TO the
evicted tenants. for whose benefit they were
subscribed. Those subscriptions are en-
tirely outside of and above any differences
in the party. Not the slightest difficulty
can arise as TO the allocatioR Of the money
forwarded from the United States
for the benefit of the evicted
4 tenants.n The above statement in regard
to the funds was read by the Associat ID
Press correspondent to Mr. O'Brien In hear
ing of MIR. Gill. after which the former said

every word was correct, for in these times
every word means much. Give that mes
