Again Meet.
LONDON, Dec. 2.--As the inevitable hour
draws near in which conclusion must be
reached by the anxiously delioerating Irish
nationalist parliamcntarians as to the future
leadership of their party the attention Of Glad
stonian liberals, liberal unionist and tory men,
bers of the house of commons steadily concen-
trates itself upon the room wherein-the Irish
patriots, confronted by as great danger as ever
threatened their country, are cropping about for
some path which may lead them out OF the
labyrinthian difficulties of the present crisis
back TO the highway of success SO lately and
hopefully traversed by them. Before the hour
appointed for the convening Of today's session
of the conference had arrived members Of the
house, English and Irish politicians and an
army of newspaper men hoyered about the sp-
proaches to the Irish parliamentary head
quarters and eagerly discussed the probable
effect on the situation Of Parnells blunt speech
of yesterday, or the counsel of the delegates TO
the United States and o. the action Of Arch
bishops Walsh and Croke.
THE LIBERALS INDIGNANT.
The opinions were as numerous and diverse
as the individuals giving utterance to them.
On one point, however, there seemed to be an
unmistakable unanimity of opinion among
the English liberals. They bitterly resented
Mr.. Parnelrs savage Characterization of Mr..
biaustOne as n SarruluOIs OLD gentleman.
The blow delivered on the face of their idol
seemed to have touched their hearts as well.
THE MEETING CALLED TO ORDER.
Shortly before the hour of meeting arrived
the near approaches TO the room were cleared
and those persons lettering in the vicinity were
kept under a close but unobtrusive surveillance
by those directly interested in the proceedings
Just before the hour of IL the Irish national
lists commenced rapidly passing through the
various corridors and into the place of confer
ence. and promptly on the hour of noon the
doors were closed and the deliberations re-
sumed. At the moment of the closing of the
doors it was ordered that all representatives Of
the press be excluded from contiguous corri-
doris.
Mr.. Parnen held conference with his sup
porters among the Irish members of the house
of commons in the library of the house at 10
O'Clock this morning.
READING THE ENJOYS MANIFESTO.
Mr.. Parnell, who was the first to arrive. took
the chair immediately after the closing of the
doors and without moments delay called the
meeting to order. After the meeting had pro-
ceeded to business a half hour was C:crpied in
reading kilograms from various persons in Ire
land and the United States and the original
manifesto sent by cable to the delegates
of the party now in the United States.
The reading was frequently interrupted by
cheers. Mr.. ]. Kelley asserted that il would
be the basest ingratitude for the nationalists to
abandon Mr.. Parnen simply because number
OF politicians sought an alliance on the Irish
party for their own advantage now thought fit
TO abandon the position Mr.. Parnell he'd taken
up and had intrigued to encompass the down.
fall of the trusted leader of the Irish nation.
Upon the conclusion of MIR. O'Kelley's re-
marks an adjournment was taken for luncheon.
The members reassembled at O'Clock, when
Mr.. Parnell moved to adjourn in order TO en-
able the nationalists to take part in the debate
on the second reading of the land-purchasp
bill.
No stone will be left unturned TO postpone
indefinitely the decision of the party on lie
question of Parnells retirement.
