PULPIT WAR ONPARNELL
AN EDICr AGAINST HIM READ IN
THE IRISH CHURCHES.

The People Warned Not to Defy Their
Spiritual Superiors - The Mccarthy
Wing Of the Party in Session Till After
Midnight - No Blows or Ephithets Be-
fore the Split.
LONDON. Dec. THE conference Of the
Mccarthy party was prolonged until after
midnight last night. Mr.. Mccarthy pre-
sided throughout the session. A committee
consisting of MesSrs Murphy, Barry, Nor
rough, Healy, Sexton and Power were ap-
pointed to draft a prospectus for a limited
company TO establish daily newspaper in
Ireland, to be devoted to the interest of the
nationalist party. Harry Webb, treasurer
OF the new company, opened
the list, and the members present
subscribed Rl,O2O. 1t is probable that
United Ireland will become daily publt~
cation. The nominal capital Of the COM
pany proposed is el00,0 900, of which g30, 900
will be paid up. A majority of the party
are keenly alive to the disadvantage of the
leading nationalist papers siding with Mr..
Parnell, and the whole of the machinery of
the national league being under his control.
COUNTING ON THE CHURCH.
They are hopeful, however, that the
influence of the bishops and priests will
assist them to attain a popular verdict.
Both sides are preparing for an immediate
campaign In Ireland.
Messrs. Sexton, John Redmond, O'Reilly
and Others who Eere present at the
closing scene, whent the majority seeded
from the parliamentary caucus, request
that a denial be made of the
sensational statements printed in certain
English papers, and probably in some
American journals, to the effect that some
members of the caucus stood upon tables
and threatened to fight, and that it was
necessary to call in the police to
quell the disturbance. On the contrary,
it is stated that the members that seeded
left the room without any disorder and
almost in silence, no offensive epitnetS be-
ing exchanged. As they quietly filed out,
those who renamed kept their seats without
remarks until all had left.
LETTER FROM THE CLERGY.
A letter from the archbishops and bishops
was read in all the Catholic churches in
Ireland after the celebration of the mass
to-day. At st. Colmen's cathedral, Queens
town, after the letter had been read Rev.
Father Fisk addressed the congregation. He
| declared that it was no longer possible for
Mr.. Parnell to remain at the head
of the Irish party. He had disgraced,
dlshonored and degraded himself by his
own acts, and could not lead the smallest
| fraction Of the Irish people. In refusing to
| recognize the authority of the bishops, Mr..
| Parnell was doing incalculaole mischief to
| the Irish cause, was performing the work
of an enemy and was rendering the people
| disunited and distracted.
WARNING FROM CORK.
The mayor of Cork, after hearing sof the
secession Of the MCCARTHY party last even
ing, sent the following dispatch TO John
O'Conuor: "Ireland won't allow England
to select her leader. This right belongs to
Ireland. The Irish won't stand Mr.. Glad
stones dictation."
AT the Catholic church in Mitchelltown
the officiating priest, after reading the
supporters of MIR. Parnell throughout his
district not to defy their spiritual supe-
rlors.
A MEETING TO-DAY.
Mr.. Mccarthy has addressed circular to
| all the Irish members of parliament, incud-
| ing Mr.. Parnell, calling a meeting of the
| party for o'clock tomorrow. The first
business to come before tho meeting will
be the election by ballot of consulta-
ton committee of eight members.
| Many of the majority party are ir a
! dilemma. Their quarterly checks for ESQ
each for parliamentary services are just
becoming due. 1t is probable that the
money with which to pay them will be
advanced from the fund subscribed at last
nights meeting for the establishment of q
new paper.
The party is discussing the advisabiity Of
| Messrs Dillon and O'Brien returning by
way OF France, where convention could
| be held at which the advice of the ENJOYS
could be obtained before their arrest.
Messrs. Gilhooly, z. O'Brien. Carew and
| Mabon are still classed with the doubtfuls
| The strength, therefore, of the Mccarthy
ties is so, and that of the Parnellites 81.
NO REFERENCES TO PARNELL.
DUBLIN, Dec mo references were
made to Mr.. Parnell in any of the churches
to-day.
A meeting of the natlonaists was held to-
day in Phoenix park. The attendance was
only m oderate, owing to the bitterly cold
weather. The lord mayor, who presided,
moved resolution that Mr. Parnell alone
! is fitted to lead the nationalists. He
| condemned the healyites, whose independ-
| ence and integrity, he said, had been
sapped by English wire-pullers. He called
| on Mr.. Parnell under no circumstances to
abandon his position. Mr.. Gladstone, he
said, was still humbugging Ireland. When
| Messrs. Sexton, Healy, Dillon. and others
! [groansl. were dining with Mr.. Gladstone,
they were. perhaps, selling the | ISL cause
/ Sweetbreads and nice dishes had overcome
them. He challenged Mr.. Paruell's op-
ponents, whom he characterized as
| political peers, to come to Ireland and 90
| how they would be received. The reso-
| luton was carried unanimously, and also a
! vote of thanks to those who supported MI
| Parnel. The crowd burned an eifigy of
Mr.. Healy's remains about the park amid
cries Of derisio1. Other wise the meeting
was orderly.

At Longford there was a stormy meeting
of the local branch of the national league.

ously adopted, but this was defeated by a

Il Cork City, Mr.. Parnells electorate, the

| Healy, who also represents the city Of Cork
! in parliament.
IL Maryborough the priests seeded from
! the league because OF vote of confidence
in Mr.. Parnell. The vote was passed by a

confidence in Mr. Parnen were in every in
stance carried.
The bishop Of Ardah, in a sermon in st.
