mons had granted the Irish members the
use of the committee room until Z o'clock.

developments. Mr.. Clancy's motion in
wolves the temporary retirement of Mr..
Parnell, subject to certain conditions
beng exacted from Mr.. Gladstone
in connection with his promised home rule
scheme Mr.. Clancy's proposal has raised
a hope among the nhuonalists that unani-
nous settlement will be effected. Liberal

attitude and front OF the opposition regard
ing Mr.. Parnell as being resolute and un-
yielding.
CORK'S CONFIDENCE.
The nationalist members of the munich
pal council of Cork have adopted by a vote
Of twenty-one to nine, a resolution ex-
pressing confidence in Mr.. Parnell, and
urging him not to recognize any adverse
actions that may be taken by his opponents

The minority made strong effort to pre-
vent its adoption.
The Catholic bishop of Elphin, county
Roscommmon, calls upon MIR. Parnell to
resign.
PARNELL IN GOOD SPIRITS.
Mr.. Parnell is in the best of spirits, and
expresses with greatest confidence the view
that the present movement will finally re-
suit favorably to him. The feeling among
his supporters is that his position is ma
terially strengthened to-day, especially by
assurances of support received from Amer
lea and ireland.

Those attending the nesting pledged
themselves not to divulge Mr.. Clancy's
compromise proposal, but it is believed that
the proposal is to ask Mr.. Gladstone TO give
satisfactory assurance Of introducing in
parliament bis promised home rule scheme
and cor ain measures in regard to the
police and lard. Mr.. Healy met the
proposal in a friendly spirit. Mr..
Parnell hos decided to state explicitly
whether he will retire from the leadership,
but he's asked day in which to consider
Mr.. Clancy's proposal, which was clever ly
designed in Mr.. Parnell's interest, with tho
double object of gaining tim0 and putting
the Sexton side further wrong in the event
OF tho almost certain refusal of Mr.. Glad
stone to give the required pledges.

that Mr. Parnell cOnversed freely
with him regarding the purpOrt Of the
interview, and was evidently much i'm
pressed with Mr.. Giadstone's cordiality. and
more still, with the thoroughness Of his
proposals concerning Ireland, which Mr.
Parael said went further than the proposals
from any great English statesman could
bo expected 70 60, and meant
a most satisfactory solution of
the Irish problem. Mr.. Parnell told Mr.
Eyaas taat the next parliament would wit
ness the historic scene OF the Parnellites
crossing the floor of the Ho lse and, for the
first time in their history sitting on the
government side. providing Mr.. Gladstone
was in power.
