LONDON, Dec. 2.-Mr. Parnell was pre-
sent in the library of the House of Com.
mons at 10 o'clock this morning and had .
conference with his supporters.
Pursuant to adjournment, the meeting of
the Irish members to consider the advise
bility of removing Mr.. Parnen from his
position as leader of the nationalist party
was resumed in a room of the house of
commons at noon to-day. Mr.. Parnell
was the first member of the party to ar
rive, During the proceedings the repor-
tiers were excluded from the corridors.
Joseph Nolan's amendment that the
question of the retirement of Parnel
should be postponed until the members
had personally ascertained the yiewssof
their constituents on the subject, the par
ty then to meet in Dublin and decide the
matter, was rejected-A to 90.
In the course of the discussion Mr.. Par
nell attacked Mr.. Barry and others for
sending dispatches to America, trying to
influence the delegates there Mr.. Sexton
said he became aware last week that a
number of messages were being received
from delegates. Mr.. Parne1 asked where
are they. Mr.. Sexton-They were from
individual delegates to individual men,
bers.
Mr.. John Redmond-Give the names.
Mr.. Sexton-I received telegram from
T. P. O'Connor requesting me to give my
views on the situation. did not feel that
the mere distance entitled me to refuse
and I, therefore, cabled informing that
q majority favored the retirement of Mr..
Parnen as necessary both for the home rule
cause and the security of evicted tenants.
further added that if the ENJOYS saw a
way to support the majority substantial
unanimity would be secured.
Colonel Nolan-Mr. Sexton ought to
withdraw his expression of opinion in that
telegram, for he made a mistake. 1t is
such an important expression of opinion
that presumably that telegram from dele

Mr.. Leamey-Unquestionably the effect
of these kilograms has been to create false
impressions at homo and abroad.
Mr.. Timothy Healey-What's all this
discussion about? It seems another piece
of pure obstruction.
Mr.. Parnell-That is most insolent,
impairment observation. Yes, most in
solent and impertinent.

certainly produce a false impression in
implying that a majority of the party
were going in one direction.
Mr.. William Redmond-If any names
were sent to the delegates in America, all
on each side ought to have been given.
['Hear, hear" hear that the delegates
cablegram was read by certain members of
onr party in an English club and was re-
ceived with cheers. IF Parnen is to be de-
posed, in Gods name depose him without
making it matter for cheering in an
English club.
Mr.. Timothy Healey said he regarded
this line of debate as a red herring drawn
across the path to delay them in coming to
a decision on the main question of Par
nell's retirement
Mr.. O'Kelley declared that whatever
might be the result of the meeting the
question of Mr.. Parnell's retirement would
not be decided at Westminster. A decision
oaght not to be too hurriedly reached. 1t
would be best to give the country time to
think.
Mr. Arthur O'Connor advised Mr.. Par
nell to withdraw, as henceforth it would
be impossible for him to be the leader of
the party.
Mr.. Jordan accused Mr.. Parnell of sacri-
ficing the cause of the nation to his insen-
safe pride and culpable ambition.
The Irish party will resume tomorrow
the discussion of Mr.. Bar1y's motion for
the retirement of Mr.. Parnell.
The supporters of Parnell are consider
ing another amendment.
