either faction will obtain much money
from the Irish people until the question Of
supremacy is settled.
ireland Ablaze with Excitement.
All day Sunday Ireland was ablaze with
excitement, many public meetings being
held, and the split in the party being the
universal topic of discussion and conversa-
tion everywhere. The mass meeting in
Phoenix park, Dublin, was not so large as
had been anticipated, in fact was not a
formidable gathering in point of size
though it was quite turbulent II was
distinctly Parnell meeting, and Healy
and other opponents of that leader were
burned in effigy. Judging from the bit
terness of the denunciations against them,
they would have been burned in person
had they been present Most of the i'm
promptu meetings hastily convened were
in Parnell's favor, and in more places than
Dublin the chief enemies of Parnell were
figuratively destroyed by fire. The bish-
ops manifesto condemning Parnell was
read in all the churches at mass, and the
priests added exhortations to the people to
obey the spirit of that document in their
political action.
Clerical Interference Resented.
The people did not seem to take kindly
to this clerical interference in some cases.
and at Mitchelstown and Kilkenny the
Nationalists met after service and adopted
resolutions supporting Parnell. In Ar
magh the priests propose to stump the
country against Parnell. 1t is believed.
however, that on the whole the church
will conhne itself 10 moral suasion. The
excitement in London political circles is
intense, and today's action of the Irish
factions in parliament is awaited with the
greatest interest, particularly as there are
rumors Of startling developments in the
way Of a Tory-Irish alliance.
No Offensive Epithets.
Saturday nights conference of the anti
Parnellites was prolonged until after mid
night, Mr.. Justin Mccarthy presiding.
A committee consisting of Messrs. McCar-
thy, Dickson, Murphy, Barry, Morrough,
Healy, Sexton and Power was appointed
to draft prospectus for a limited com
pany to establish daily National paper
in Ireland. 1t is thought probable that
United Ireland will become daily and be
selected as the party organ. The majority
are alive to che disadvantages which they
suffer in the leading Nationalist papers
being on Parnel's side, as well as the
whole machinery of the league being un-
uoE lis COubtOl. DOM sluSS are preparing
for an immediate campaign in Ireland.
Prominent leaders assert that there were
no offensive epithets exchanged between
members of the rival factions when the
breakup occurred as has been reported.
The mayor of Cork, after hearing of the
secession of the majority from the Nation
alist meeting, telegraphed to John O'COn-
nor as follows; ireland will not allow
England to select her leader. This right
belongs TO Ireland. The Irish people will
not stand Gladstone's dictation.n
Mr.. Justin Mccarthy, as chairman of the
irish parliamentary party, has addressed
a circular to all the Irish members, in
Guiding Mr.. Parnell. summoning them to
meet at o'clock today. The first business
TO come before the meeting will be the
selection by ballot of consulting commit
tee Of eight.
Many Of the Mccarthy people are much
embarrassed for funds, rs they have relied
on the quarterly checks for e250, which are
Just coming due. These checks will prob
ably be withheld by Mr. Parnel, and it is
hkeiy the needy members will be paid
temporarily from the fund raised Saturday
night for the establishment Of a paper.
The anti-Parnellites are discussing the
adVisaoiiity OF having Messrs. O'Brien and
