day, narrated il the dispatches to The EVEN
ING STAR, they assembled in another room.
Mr.. Mccarthy assumed the chair, and the meet
ing adopted the following resolutions:
I'VE, members Of the Irish parliamentary
party, solemnly renew our adhesion to the prin-
ciple, in devotion to which We have never wa
vered, that the Irish party is and always must
remain independent of all other parties.
Further, we declare that we will never entertain
any proposal for a settlement of the home rule
question. except such satisfies the aspirations
of the Irish party and the Irish people,
The result was Immediately communicated
to Mr.. Gladstone. Upon learning what had
been done, Mr.. Gladstone exclaimed:
Thank God. home rule is savedn'
After the withdrawal of Mr. Mccarthy and
the other anti-Parnell members the sup
pOrters of Mr.. Parnell adopted resolutions
expressing regret at Mr.. Gladstone refusal to
state his views on the questions submitted to
him and then ratified the reelection of Mr..
Parnell as chairman.
Others having spoken, Mr.. Parnell said:
''Ihe deserters, knowing were going to
Ireland tomorrow. clamored for a decision be-
cause they dreaded the lightning of public
opinion in Ireland. They recoilcd before this
opinion when they fled from this room. Gentle
men. we have won today. loud cheers. ]
Although our ranks are reduced, hold this
chair still. lCheers. Although many COM
rades have left us. Ireland has power to ill
their places and send as good men and true for
every one of those who have left u.s. and little
know our gallant country if / am mistaken in
the opinion that when she gets an opportunity
she will freely exercise the power. They have
left this room because they saw that their posi-
ton was nc longer tenable; because they saw
arrayed against them force before which we
must all bow and without which none of us
would ever have been here They stand in a
most contemplate position, that of men who
having pledged themselves &c be true to their
party. to their leader and to their country
have been false to ali. Loud cheers.
AN EXCITING SCENE.
Before the anti Parnellites left an exciting
scene occurred in the conference. Mr.. Parnell
refused to put the motion deposing him from
the leadership. He insisted that until he was
depOsed he was chairman of the meeting. He
accused Mt. Mccarthy of attempting to move
a resolution surreptitiously. Fiery words fol-
lowed. until finally Healy shouted: who is to
be mistress Of this partyr' An exciting scene
followed. Cries of .!Shamer' came from all
parts of the room. Parnell called Healy a
cowardly little scoundrel. who dared in an
sembly of Irishmen to insult woman.
As a written resolution deposing Parnell was
being handed in by Mr. Justin Mccarthy, Mr..
Parnell leaned across the table. struck Mr..
McCarthys hand and seized the resolution
and tore it to pieces. Mr. Justin Huntley Nc
Carthy son Of Mr. Justin Mccarthy arose
from his seat and denounced Mr.. Parnell
the insulter of his father and an enemy to his
country. He declared that he had hitherto
acted with Mr.. Parneil, but that henceforth he
would repudiate him
PREPARING FOR THE CAMPAIGN.
A committee of anti-Parnellites. consisting of
Messrs. Murphy, Barry, Morrough. Healy, Sex
ton and Power. has been appointed to draft a
prospectus for limited company to establish
daily newspaper in Ireland to be devoted to
the interest of the nationalist party. 1t is
probable that United Ireland will become
daily publication.
The majority party are alive to the dis
advantage Of the leading nationalist papers
siding with Parnell and the whole Of the ma
chinery 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 popular verdict
The Parnellites, it is understood. are anxious
to force an appeal to the country AZ soon as
possible and claim that their antagonists are
afraid to submit the issue of their conduct to
the people.
READING THE MANIFESTO.
A letter from the archbishops and bishops
was read in all the Catholic churches in Ireland
after the celebration Of the masses yesterday.
At st. Colmans Cathedral. Queenstown. ofter
the letter had been read, Rev. Father Fisk ad-
dressed the congregation. He declared that it
was no longer possible for Parnell to remain at
the head of the late Irish party. At the Cath
Ole Church in MitchelstOwn the officiating
priest, after reading the declarations Of the
hierarchy, warned the supporters of Parnell
throughout his district not to defy their spirit
ual superiors.
IRELAND ABLAZE WITH EXCITEMENT.
Ireland was ablaze with excitement yester-

conversation and disc ussion everywhere. The
mass meeting in Phenix Park, Dublin, was not

formidable gathering in point of size, though
it was quite turbulent. 1t was distinctly a
Parnen meeting and Healy and other opponents
of that leader were burned in effigy
So far AZ returns have beer received tonight
most of the impronlptu meetings hastily con-
vened Yesterday were in Parnells favor. and in
more places than Dublin the chief enemies of
Parnen were iguratively destroyed by fire.
PARNELL IS CONFIDENT.
Mr.. Barry said yesterday that Mr. Parnell
cause would lose, instead of gain. with the
progress Of time, and that the next general
election would see him deader than Isaac Butt
Parnel, on the other hand, is said to feel en-
tirely confident, and to be already selecting
successors for those who have deserted him.
