Special 10 THE MORNING CALL

LONDON, Dec. THE conference of
the Mccarthy party was prolonged un-
til after midnight last night. McCar-
thy presided throughout the session. A
committee consisting of Murphy Barry,
Morrough, Healy, Sexton and Power
was appointed to draft prospectus for
limited company TO establish daily
newspap per in Ireland to be devoted to the
Interests of the Nationalist party. Harry
Webb, Treasurer of the new company,
opened list and the members present sub
scribed e102o. 1t is probable United Ireland
will become daily publication The ma
jority of the party were keenly alive to the
disadvantage of the leading Nationalist
papers siding with Parnell, and the whole
OF the machinery of the National League
being under his control. They are hopeful,
however. that the influence of the Bishops
and priests will assist them to obtain a
popular verdict. Both sides are preparing
for an immediate campaign in Ireland.
IN THE CHURCHES.
A letter from the Archbishops and Bish-
ops was read in all the Catholic Churches in
Ireland after the celebration of masses to-
day. At st. Colman's Cathedral, Queens
town, after the letter had been read, Rev.
Rather Fisk addressed the congregation.
He declared it was no longer possible for
Parnell to remain at the head of the Irish
party. He had disgraced, dshonored and
degraded himself by his own acts, and could
not lead the smallest section of the Irish
r,aonla In rafueipp 70 ,;,at
ity of the Bishops. Parnell was doing an in
caleulable mischief to the Irish cause-was
performing the work Of the enemy, and
rendering the people dlsunited and dis.
tracted.
PARNELL's PLANS.
Parnell refuses to recognize the vote
whereby he has been deposed from the
leadership of the Irish party. He holds
that those who passed the vote ceased to be-
long to the Irish Parliamentary party and
he now intends to wage strenuous war, with
the object Of demonstrating that the author
ity to speak in the name of the Irish people
no longer rests with them. He will proceed
to Ireland during the Christmas recess and
elicit public opinion.
A close friend of Parnell says: "All this
has been coming on for some time. Parnell
is a6t really popular in his party. The di-
vorce court was only spark that touched a
train already laid. Parnell will take a
lead in the Commons and the others
manage it so that they cannot disobey him
without running themselves. They have the
most able Of debaters. / admit our
strongest man in that line is John Red
mond, but II Parnell takes one view, is Sex
house and say: You are not the leader, I
will certainly see that in restoring
Gladstone's dictation Parnell was loyal to
his country" The English Gadstonians
are beaming to-day. thinking the battle is
practically over. The Conservatives are not
sure how the matter will end, but they be-
leve that whatever happens their party will
get the oysters and the other side the shells.
CALL FOR A MEETING.
Mccarthy has addressed a circular to all
the Irish members of Parliament including
paTneli, calling meeting Of the party at 2
O'Clock tomorrow. The first business to
come before the meeting will be tine election
by ballot of a Consultation Committee of
eight members. Members of the party are
discussing the advisability of Dillon and
OBrien returning by way Of France, where
advice of the ENJOYS could be obtained be-
fore their arrest. Gilhooly, p. O'Briep.
Carew aud Mahon are still classed with the
doubtfuls. The strength, therefore, of the
McCarthyites is fifty and that of the Par
nellites thirty-one.

DUBLIN, Dec. NO reference was made
to Parnell in the churches here to-day. A
meeting OF Nationalist was held in Phoenix
Park. The attendance was only moderate,
owing. to the bitterly cold weather. The
Lord Mayor, who presided, moved resolu-
tion that Parnell alone was fitted to lead the
nation. He condemned the Healyites,
whose Independence and integrity, he said,
had been snapped by the English wire
pulers. He called on Parnell, under no
circumstances to abandon his position.
Gladstone, he said, was still humbugging
Ireland. When Sexton, HeaIy, Dillon and
OBrien [groansl were dining with Glad
stone they were, perhaps, selling the Irish
caus Sweelbreads and high dishes had
& creme them. Ee challenged ParnelPs
Vonents, whom he cha .actelized as politi-
cal lepers, to come to Ireland and see how
they would be served. The resolution was
carried unanimously; also vote OF thanks
to those who supported ParnelL The crowd
burned an efigy of Healy, and kicked the
remains about the park, amid shouts of
deTision. Otherwise, the meeting was or
derly.
PARNELL AND GLADSTONE.
NEW YORK, Dec. 7.-The Worlds Lon
don special says: 1t is not easy to
foresee the Immensely important effect
of the decisive split in the Irish
party. Parnell is generally admitted to
be master of the situation. His friends
consider that Gladstone's letter declining to
receive the Irish delegates until Parnell was
deposed was an officious d rtation, and will
as such be resented by the Irish race every-
where. They are particularly confident that
his letter will strengthen Parnelps position
in Ireland. as 1t will be held to justify his
distrust of Gladstone.
STATEMENT OF THE ENJOYS.
New YORK, Dec. 7-O'Brien. Dillon
OConnor and Gill, Irish envoys to America,
arrived In this city today from Chicago.
Harrington, who decided to cast his lot with
Parnell, did not accompany them. T. p,
OConnor went to the Bartholdi Hotel.
where he has friends, while the other four
put ur at the Hoffman House. They took
the finest suite of rooms in the house on the
hrst floor. They refused to be interviewed.
but all signed the following statement for
the press:
We regret to be obliged to continue and
maintain absolute silence in the crcumstan-
ces OF the present movement We have
cabled our approval to the choice of Justin
Mccarthy as the Chairman of the Irish Ma
tiOnal party, and our earnest hope is that
our colleagues and our people may see the
way to acquirsce in the choice and restore
the priceless blessing of unity in our party.
Whatever additional communication we
public will be made collectively. and will
not be made so long as we can see any pos
sibility of saving our country from ruin
Gus conflict. We would prefer our views
should suffer by our holding our tongues
rather than that the possibility of unity
should be prejudiced by single injudicious
word at this painful moment"
