CHIcAGo, Dee. 6.-Dillon, Obrien,
O'sullivan. Gill and O'Connor left al 8
O'Clock this afternoon for New York,
while Harrington departed a. an
earlier hour for Detroit. This move.
on the part OF the majority Of the dele
gANon, was decided upon immediately
after the receipt OF the UHlted Press
cable dispatches. announcing that a
splt IN the Irsh Parliamentary party
had become an accomplished fact,
owing probably 10 the excitement that
prevailed at the conference IN London.
Today the delegates were without regu-
lar cable aavicesregarding the situation.
which have been regularly received
from Justin Mccarthy and Timothy
Healey, and, therefore, governed their
movements on the sdyices of the
United Press. During the afternoon
they were IA receipt OF dispatches from
81. LOUIS, Columbus, Waterbury Conn.,,
and New Brton, Coma, urging that
the engagements made tor meetings III
these cites be kept. The st. Louis dis
patch said: The people are wild 10
see your party. Come under all cir
cumstances." From Columbus came
tins Dispatch: Excuse importantly;
everything is arranged for al infu-
enhal meeting. What the people of
Columbus want is home rule for Ire
land, no matter under what leader"
After conference, IN when all the
members of the delegation, except
Harrington, participated, the following
replies were telegraphed TO the points
Indicated, as we'll as To Duluth and
Kansas City: 1--WE deeply regret that
there should be any disappointment,
but We are sOlemnly convinced that the
interest of unity Will be best served by
suspendng all public action here,
pending the definite decision of the
Irish party. We will communicate with
you as soon as We have definite news
from home" Just before the depar-
ture of the delegation, a dispatch ar
rived TO the effect that the New York
municipal council of the National
league was in complete accord
with the attitude OF the delega-
ton. While entering his carriage,
O'Brien said: 1--WE have agreed TO
maintain strict silence regarding
the situation. In New York we will
confer with our friends, regarding our
future course. The new organization
in London Will at once form some plan
of campaign, that will guide our policy.
1t is impossible TO tell what the out
come will be. Our cause is just. We
believe that 1t Will triumph. II it does,
we will resume CIR work where it was
dropped, when the present crisis was
sprung upon u.s." Notwithstanding
this rather non-committal statement,
the fact is that the delegation, as stated
in these dispatches several days since,
has absolutely abandoned the tour.
o Brien and his colleagues Will prob
ably take passage on one
| of Wednesdays steamers. Harrington
will remain in this country for the
present, as the direct representative OF
Parnell, taking counsel with Col. At
kInson, OF Detroit, prominent factor
in the Land League of the United
States, and one of ParnelPs most init
mate friends.
Before leaving for Detroit this after
noon. Timothy Harrington. IN an inter
view, said: "Parnell is . stranger man
| today than he was a week ago. Every
Irishman of note, even Irish municipal
bodies and every National League
branch, including the central body in
Dublin. has repudlated the Chicago
manifesto. This means nothing more
nor less than that the forty-ive men,
who seeded from Psrneli, are without
constituencies. These men have always
declared that the power they possessed
was power not inherent in them, but
derived from the people. Now that
the people have repudisted them
IS 1t more plain that they are impor-
tsn2 They have not expelled Parnell.
| They have seeded from him. With a
public manifestation IN Ireland IN his
favor, Parnell can stand up IN the
| House of Commons and ask these men
| whom they represent. English polIti-
| Cisns may be moralists, as they some
/ times claim they are, but. believe me,
! they are politicians before everything
else. They viii not care to deal with
men without constituencies. They will
wish 70 deal with the man who has his
people behind him. No man in Irish
/ politics ever had the IRISH Nation at his
