IRELAND TO DECIDE
The NatiOnalists Preparing for
 a Housing Campaign.
PARNELL TO ISSUE A MANIFESTO
Rumors of Plot to Use Personal Violence Against the Irish Leader.

ripperary Commissioners Repudlato Par
 nell-The Financial situation of the
 Anti-ParneIIites Continues Critical
 American Support to be Solicited by
 Parneu-Davitt to Go to Ireland.
 LONDON, Dec. 9.-The Irish members are now divided in two parties in the House of Commons. MT. Parnell ap- pearod and took his seat at the usual hour, and listened with interest to the debate. He never looked better. His leading opponents, however, Healy and Mccarthy, appeared nervous and uncom- fortable, especially the former, who seemed anxious to avoid the gaze of his colleagues.
 Healy seemed to feel it incumbent upon him to do something to show that Parnell was no longer the sole spokes man for the Irish party, and at the first opportunity he interjected a motion of protest against the way the government was rushing legislation through without the usual degree of ex- planation and debate. In view of the fact that this expedition of business was due to the internecine strife among the Irish members themselves, the motion gave rise to some laughter, and MT. Par nell smiled grimly at the poor reception accorded to the first official act of his rival in the leadership.
 Mir. Mccarthy, the chairman of the anti-Parnell faction, is quite popular in the House among members of all parties, being respected for his literary fame and his personal character. In the parlia- mentary discussions, however, he has not made much impression, and Timothy Healy's claim to lead the secessionists s not disputed.
 The financial situation of the anti Parnellites continues critical, but it is hoped that the acton of the Tipperary Town Commissioners in repudiating Par nell will have an important influence elsewhere in Ireland. Though MT. Par nell controls nearly every Irish fund, the Tipperary fund is an exception, being under the disposition of Messrs. O'Brien and Dillon.
 Both sides are preparing for rousing campaign. It is stated that Dr. Tanners following in Cork are organizing a plot to use personal violence against Parnell by hustling him in the crowd during his coming visit to that city.

Strike in the Clark Thread Mills.

NEWARK, N. J., Dec. 9.-The long-an- ticipated strike in the spinning depart city and Kearny is now on.

THE ENVOYS CHEERED.

They Receive an Encouraging Cable
 from tho High Sheriff of Cork.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-The Irish Parlia- mentary delegation was cheered by a cablegram from High Sheriff Fitzgerald, of Cork, Ireland, hitherto the head of MT. Parnells own constituency. The cablegram is interpreted by MT. O'Brien to signify that Mir. Parnell's constituency is going against him and in favor of Mo Carthy. The "party' referred to means, therefore, according to MT. O'Brien, the opposition to MT. Parnell. Following is the cablegram:
 Influential city and county committee form ing to sustain party. Fever rapidly passing off. Common sense asserting itself. City and county will do its duty. (SigneD
