speakers. including Justin Mccarthy, are

precautions in view Of an expected col

traordinarily active against Parnell, GO
ing even beyond the bishops declaration
against him. They have provoked bit
ter remonstrance in several places by

John Dillon has issued lengthy letter
to the press as to the more recent events
