Pacnell is regarded by the politicians OF
all parties as ending the Irish home rule
movements for the present. That is the
feature of the controversy most prornl-

O'Conpor, one of Parnell' 3 adberents ic
the Irish parliamentary party, stated
that his chief had received dispatches
aud letters from all parts OF ireland
urging him TO hold his post and resist the
dictatlon of the English Liberals. This
