HARCoCRr's INTERVIEW.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt has written
letter in which he confirms Mir. Nc
Carthy's statement made at the Parnelhte
meeting last night relative TO VIVA. took
place between them a. the time of Nr. Nc
Carthy's recent visit 70 him. SIR Harcourt
further says that he did not regard Mr.
ParnelFs proposals as practical. He told
Mr.. Mccarthy that the cond! tlon of
secrecy was inadmlssabe. A document &C.
ceptlns the propo ais could be of no value
to Mr. Parnell, or any one else. unless its
contents were made Known. Besides, Sir
Harcourr says. he did not attach any I'M
portance to Nj. Parnell's pledge OF in-
violaole secrecy. The irish party and
irish nation possessed higher and
more lasting security than any secret
neg otiations or individual pledSe in tne
unquestionaole fact that no party, no
leaders c 1uld ever propose or hope u carry
any scheme for home rule which did not
have the concurre &c and support OF the
lcish people as decl lred by its reprsse 9ts-
tlves in parliament. In conclusion, Sir
William Gays that the statements Of Mr..
Parnell relating to his (Sir Wiliiam's) views
are unworthy OF notice aud opposed 20 tle
truth.
AN ALLIANCE UNAVOIDABLE
When the Parnellites reassembed this
evening NJ. J. Kenny declared that it
would be impossible = obtain home rule
without forming an alliance with an Egg
llsh party. He strongly objected ~ suoor-
dlnatlng the interests OF tae Irish people to
any particular man. M. Parnell, he said,
had been offered an honorable compromise

Mr.. Kenny-To retire temporarily,
But instead of accepting this Offer said
Mr.. Kenny, "Mr. PARCEL hes issued a man
ifes,o declaring him from the Craftsmanship
hencsforth should a majority of bis party
decide that It would be best fer him 10
retire. Why did Mr.. Parnell, in June, ex>
press implicit belief in the good faith OF tue

did be ED the interview secret until a per-
sonal issue was raiseiF [Cheers
PARSELL NOT He WHOLE PARTY.

OF the irish parry if they depended upon
