LONDON, Dec 6.-At o'clock today the
| Irish members of the house of commons
/ who are considering the advisability OF
retiring Mr. Parnell from the leadership
of the Nationalist party reassembled in
] the conference room of the house of com
mons, which has been set apart for their
use 1t was the desire of the members To
maintain the stricteSt secrecy regarding
their proceedings. and they had requested
the officials of the house to aid them IN
keeping outsiders away from the meeting
| room. In consequence no one was allowed
in the lobby adjoining the room. Even
the courtesy extended the press was sus-
pended, and no reporters were permitted
in the vicinity of the room where the de-
alterations were taking place.
The first business transacted was the
reading of Mr.. GladstOne's letter in reply
to the committee, consisting of Mr.. Leahy
and Redmond and Messrs. Sexton and
Healy. Mr. Gladstone remains firm in his
determination 10 work with the National
lists. He offers to make conditions with a
new Irish leader, on a footing of conf
dence equal to that which he once accord
ed 70 ParnelL
A stormy debate followed. Messrs
Barry and Sexton and Leahy made de-
termined attempt to bring about a final
settlement of the question, namely, the
retirement of Mr.. Parnen from the leader
snip.
Finally Mr.. Sexton gave Mr.. ParneIl his
ultimatum to the effect that that if a de-
cisiou on this question was delayed by the
chairman Cdr ParnelD after o'clock this
evening, the majority of the representa-
tives Of the party would hold a meeting
of their own and depOse him from Office. A
scene of great excitement followed this
announcement.
- o. -, 4,tr fr-
half an hour.
At 3:I5 O'Clock the members reassem-
bled. A strongly worded letter from
Archbishop Walsh was read, demanding
Mr. Parnell's removal The reading of
the letter produced a marked effect
Mr.. John O'ConnOr moved the adoption
of a resolution declaring that Mr.. Glad
stones letter was not satisfactory, and
that Ireland requested assurances regard
ing the constabulary and land questions.
The motion was seconded by Mr.. Ken
ney.
Mr.. Abraham moved that Mr.. Parnell
vacate the Craftsmanship of the party.
Mr. Parnell refused to allow the motion
to be put, whereupon Mr.. Mccarthy, fol-
lowed by fOrty-four other members, left
the room.
An exciting incident arose from Mr..
Parnells refusal TO put Mr.. Abraham's
motion. AS written resolution to the
same effect was being handed in by Mr.
Justin Mccarthy, Mr.. Parnell leaned
across the table, struck Mr.. McCarthy's
hand and seized the resolution and tore it
to pieces. Mr.. Justin Huntley Mccarthy,
son of Mr.. Justin Mccarthy, arose from
his seat, and denounced Mr. Parnell as the
insulter of his father and an enemy to his
country. He declared that he had hitherto
acted with Mr.. Parnell, but that hence
forth he would repudiate him. The defec-
ton OF the younger Mccarthy raises the
total number of anti Parnellite members
to forty-tive. The opponents of Mr.. Paa-
nell who Withdrew from the meeting in n
body, held a meeting in conference
room.
After the withdrawal of Mr. Mccarthy
and the other anti-Parnell members, the
supporters of Mr.. Parnell adopted resolu-
tons expressing regret at Mr.. GladstOne's
refusal TO state his views on the question
submitted to him, and then ratified the re-
election of Mr. Parnell as chairman.
