which Some Very Hot Words
are Passed.
LONDON, Dec. 2.-The meeting of the
Irish members of the commons to consider
the advisability Of removing Parnell, was
resumed at noon. Parnell was the first of
the party to arrive. Reporters were ex-
cluded. It is expected a meeting of the
Liberal members Of the commons and lords
will shortly be held to consider the political
situation Half an hour was occupied
reading kilograms from various persons in
Ireland and the United States and the man
ifesto sent by the delegates of the party
now in the United States. The reading of
the dispatches was frequently interrupted
by cheering. ]. o Kelly asserted it would
be the basest ingratitude for the National
lists to abandon Parnell simply because a
number of politicians who sought alliance
with the Irish party for their own advan
tage now thought fit to abandon the posi-
ton Parnell had taken. Adjourned for
luncheon
The members reassembled at 2 O'Clock.
Nationalist to take part in the debate on
the second reading of the land purchase
bill. No stone will be left unturned to
postpone indefinitely the decision of the
party on the question Of Parnell's retire
ment.
A sharp controversy took place concern
ing the cable dispatches sent the delegates
in the United States for the purpose of
influencing their action. Kenny admitted
he cabled his views to the delegates.
Sexton said the supplementary cable
sent after the conference held Friday
night did not accord with the arrange
ments made at the conference.
John O'Connor declared the business had
not been conducted fairly. He justified
ParnelPs action in issuing the manifesto
and condoned the misleading dispatches
that were sent the delegates in the United
States.
Campbell described the proceeding of
Parnell'S opponents as infamous. Parnel
was appealed to to decide whether the ex-
preston used by Campbell was orderly.
He replied the country would decide as to
their further determinations INDUCED in
regarding the informal meeting held Sat
urday.
Healy described the actions of Parnell's
! friends as obstructive.
| Parnell denounced the remark as 1nso-
lent and Impairment. This statement was
greeted with cheers by Parnell's friends
and answered with cheers of derision by
his opponents.
| Leahy said the kilograms to America from
Sexton and others had produced false
impression by implying that majority Of
the leading men of the party were going il
one direction.
William Redmond said he heard the dele
gates cablegram was read by certain mem
bers of the party in an English club anC
received with cheers. eff Parnell is 20 bt
deposed,n said he, s'in Gods name depost
him without making it a matter for cheer
ing in an English club"
Nolan's amendment that the question o.
the retirement of Parnell be postponed
until the members ascertained the views o.
their constituents, was rejected
Arthur O'Connor advised Parnell t.
Withdraw, as heDceforth it will be impos
sible for him to be leader of the party.
Jordan accused Parnell of sacrificing the
cause of the nation to his insatiaue pride
aud culpable ambition.
AT 6 o'clock the meeting adjourned fol
an hour.
Upon reassembling, Kenny declared i
impossible to obtain home rule withou
forming an alliance with an English party
Parnell, he said, had been offered honor
able compromise.
| Chalrman-Wn aU was IL:
Kenny-To retire temporarily. But in
stead of accepting this offer, Parnell ISSUED
q manifesto debarring him from the chair
manship henceforth should a majority o
his party decide it would be best for him t
retire. Why did Parnell in June expires
implicit belief in the good faith of tn
Liberal party, having the Hawarden inter
view in mind2 He Kenny had little hop
for the future of the Irish party if the.
depended upon the chairman to defen
them from the chicanery of Englis
statesmen. Irishmen looked to their reI
resentatives in the house of commons, no
to Parnell alone, for salvation.
J.F X. O'Brlen declared they had ha
little leadership from Parnell in recen
years. After the exposure resulting fror
the divorce suit he had come to the cor
cluslon that Parnell's continuance in tn
leadership would be an intolerable dis
grace O'Brien bitterly reproached Pal
nell for his connection with the Hawarde
interview. Angry retorts were made b
Parnell, who denied he had said Gladston
was false. In conclusion, O'Brien said
81 leave it to you, Mr.. Parnell, to convinc
the Irish people of the honesty of your par
In that grave matter. This is the wretch
eldest moment of my life, so shattered b
you, who brought US to this splendid pos
ton, are all of Ireland's hopes.'
