Jug nau Deen cdlled 10 order, one OF tue
members read manifesto issued yester-
day by the Catholic hierarchy in Ireland,
declaring that in consequence Of the rev.
elations Of the O'Shea divorce case which
convicted Parnell Of one Of the gravest
oifenses known 10 religion and society,
Catholic Ireland cannot accept as a
leader man wholly dishonored, and that
the continuance OF his leadership would
imperil the cause Of Ireland. The read.
ing Of the manifesto was greeted with
cheering by Parnell's opponents.
Clancy offered his amendment, which
provided, in view of the difference be-
tween Gladstone and Parnell, the party
whips be instructed 10 obtain from Glad
stone, Morley and Harcourt, before any
further consideration Of the main ques-
ton, information on the departure from
the bill Of 1855 made by Gladstone in his
suggestions affecting the control Of the
Irish constabulary aud the settlement Of
the land question. A prolonged debate
took place on the amendment.
Parnell intimated II the party took the
responsibility off his shoulders, and in.
sisted upon the liberal leaders promising
to carry a respectable home rule bill
through the commons in the face of all
opposition, he would retire from the
leadership. lie asked the meeting 10 ac.
cept Clancy's resolution, whereupon, he
said, an alliance between the natio nal.
lists and liberals would be renewed.
Healy refused 10 submit 20 Parnclrs
stipulations. He declared they were even
beyond the lines Of the compromise sug.
gested at yesterdays meeting.
AT the opening OF the meeting to-day
Sexton denied that he had ever proposed
that Parnell retire from public life, and
said he only meant he should retire from
the chairmanship Of the party. Parnell
proceeded 10 deal at length with the
Clancy proposal. He decided he could
not bind himself 10 retire until he could
see Gladstone's reply, his position
had been granted him not merely as a
leader Of the party, but vas a
leader Of the nation. This has been
derived from circumstances in which,
speaking with the greatest respect. his
hearers had no share. Afler speaking Of
his services in assimilating aud soothing
the preiudices Of the discordant elements
Of the Irish throughout the world, Parnell
said;
"You know and know there is no man
living, II am gone, who could succeed
in reconciling the feelings Of the Irish
people TO the Hawarden proposals. As
you wish to Withdraw from me this re-
sponsibility. | think IL only rea.
sonable that you should give
judgment on those matters for the benefit
Of your constitution. Therefore submit
this resolution that the party accept nc
home rule bill unless il gives immediate
control Of the police and the power tc
deal with land. Mr.. Gladstone is capable
Of working 20 secure a majority at the
elections which will render him ndepen
dent OF both Irish and conservative par
ties. IL you throw me TO him get m,
value by securing his pledge Of a satisfac
tory home rule bill.n
Healy expressed amazement at Par
nell's speech and protested against add
ing new conditions TO the Clancy resolu
ton. Parnell, he said, wanted 20 with
draw the question of leadership and cub
stitute discussion on home rule. They
could get neither straight conduct MOI
straight answers from him.
Parnell replied that be had given hi.
answer. He regretted II was not con
sidered straight But by il he would stand
or fall.
Healy -"Then you will fall. What's
the use of further discussion ?n
A tremendous uproar followed. Leame,
shouted, "Away with him."
John o'Connor yelled
Cruelty him."
A scene of wild disorder followed
When quiet was finally restored Heal,
said nothing could change his determine
ton to depose Parnell. The latter wa,
no greater than the majority Of the party
yet he talked Of defying IL. Heal,
believed there would be enough
statesmanship in the benighied majority
who opposed Parnell TO take course al
statesmen. Then Healy read portions o
Parnel's speech delivered at a banquet
six months after the Hawarden interview
declaring the independence Of the lrisi
party aud eulogizing the alliance viii
blduhtOut.
An angry duel of words followed, Heal,
repeating Parnelfs recent remarks abou
Gladstone. and finishing by asking:
"Who broke tile alliance 2"
Parnell and Nolan both exclaimed
"The Gladstone letter"
Healy retorted: 1T perished frou
stencil of the divorce court"
Parnell replied that II the Gladston,
letter had not been written the allianc,
would have been maintained.
Healy defended Gladstone. He sal,
Parnell had bespattered that gentleman
gray hairs with mud aud now wante,
Irish members, hat in band, TO go and asl

Heads Of greater leaders have beet

septance OF Gladstone's rcply2'
Parnell-"Certainly."
Barry asked for further explanation
and Parnell yehemently replied:
