CHcAeo, Dec. At is not unlikely Shat ths
attitude assumed yesterday by Mr.. rsrnell win
lead 10 the abandonment Of the tour Of oBrien
and Dillon and their colleagues in behalf Of tho
plan of campaign. Until long after midnighs.
when Il was supposed they had retired 30 their
respective apartments, the envoys were closessA
in parior Is and engaged in animated discu.-
sion regarding their future movements Ae-
cording to the program originally adopted
Diiion and Harrington should sppeer at Dayton
tomorrow night, q Brien and Sullivan at indi-
napols on Thursday and T. y. OConner at Do
luth on the same night. while Dillon, D Brien,
saihvan and Harrington were 20 meet AZ
81 Iouis on Sunday. After that the party
were TO separate Dillon going 90 Kansas City
IN the west, D Brien east and the others south
east
This program. however. is likely 20 be aban-
doned, although dennite decision will be post
poned until this afternoon in the hope that
coming developments may change the situation.

DISPOSAL or THE FUNDS.
Meanwhile the question as 10 the disposition q
the funds secured on the present tour will not
down. The delegates announce az the outset thss
they were representatives Of Parneil, and like
wise gave IL out that the monies contributed
would be forwarded 10 the treasurers at Dublin

Issued by the promoters of the local demon
stration have the statement on the covers that
the money raised would be handed 10 the
Irish delegates TO be forwarded 10 Mr..
Parnell. The members Of the local
executive committee. however. are now
divided on the question whether this pledge
should be carried out. Some contend that II
iarnell IL deposed he cannot longer be re-
garded as proper recipient OF the funds, and
that they should be intrusted 10 o Brien and
BIS colleagues and used at their discretion
lhls view. however. is strongly antagonlzed by
an influential element in harmony with Hsr-
rngton, and serious hitch in the distribution
OF the s2O.OD or more so far subscribed here
seems inevitable. Should Parnell be deposed
the same trouble would be likely to occur at
every place the ENJOYS might visit
HARRINGTON DOES NOT DESPAIR.
In an interview as TO whether he saw any
reason for changing the opinion already ex-
pressed by him on the parnell leadership Mr..
Harrington of the Irish ENJOYS said: Il am
sorry 90 observe that some of the best known
among the Irish bishops have expressed them
selves against MIR. Parncll being continued in
the leadership. and am still more sorry when
| remember the ground upon which they have
based their opinion. If were selecting .
leader for the Irish people I think il might
naturally enter into our consideration to give
due weight 20 the charge made against Mr.. Par
nell. But that is not the position. To my
mind the majority Of the Irish priests
will moi follow the lead Of the two
Irish archbishops in this matter. Mr.. Par
nell is Protestant. They have ne
spiritual charge over him, and they will zee the
absurd Inconsistency of LAYING him aside and
calling upon their people 20 follow the leader

Irish priests and the Irish people know, even
in respect Of the charge alleged against Mr..
Parnell. to st.nd upon infinitely worse ground.
do not, by any means. despair Of peace being
vet established in our party. IL leading men
on both sides can be induced TO refrain from
the use of any bitter language in the course Of
this controversy am strong in the hope that
short time will bring about better Judgment
and more harmonious action" He said that
Mr.. Davitt would not have much influence in .

land believe him 10 he unfriendly to Mr.. Par.
