DUBLIN, Dec. 1.-THE struggle for the
possession of United Ireland assumed
new phase this morning. Again Par
nell is in possession. The opponents of
Parnell succeeded last night in forcing
entrance into the office and destroying
all the leaders prepared by Leamy, ap-
pointed yesterday to succeed Bodkin,
as acting manager during the absence of
William O'Brien. They left guard in
possession, with orders to resist any
attempt OF Parnell or his friends to en-
ter the building. This morning Parnell
proceeded to the office, and with the
assistance of crowd of his supporters
forced open the doors and took possess
sion. The police witnessed the affair
but did not interfere.
After the Office was taken Parnell ap-
peared at one of the windows of the Of
fee. shouting that lie would fight the
battle to the last; that he would only
allow the country to decide the issue,
and that he would submit to the dicta-
ton OF no man. He appeared to be
tiercely excited, and to have lost his
usual self-control.
To guard against a further attempt of
his opponents to recapture the office, the
doors and windows were bolted and
barred. When the Office was secured
against intruders, all conversation with
outsiders was carried on through the
keyhole.
Before Parnell made his attack on the
United Ireland office, he secured two
crowbars. Handing one of them to John
O'Connor, they proceeded to the door of
the paper and soon smashed it in.
Parnell has ordered that all persons be
treated fairly in the columns of the
paper.
Parnell left this afternoon for Cork.
When, in company with McCough,
solicitor for the National league, he
drove to the railway station to make the
train for Cork, crowds lined the streets,
the windows OF the houses were filled
with spectators, and he was loudly
cheered.
At Kildare he made a speech to the
crowd at the station.
At Mas, he received an address from

ing raised for Parnell. Before the train
left the station the crowd became very
violent and made repeated attempts to
enter Parnell's carriage. The mob
ttourished sticks in the air and shouted:
Down with the blackguard!' Down
with the libertine!'' and similar cries.
At one time the mob seemed about to
accomplish its purpose of forcing its
way into the carriage. Parnell tore
down atrack from the side of the car
riage and prepared to defend himself.
Mallow is the birthplace OF O'Brien.
At Cork an immense crowd gathered
and Parnell was received with an out
burst of enthusiasm. He has been in
vited to visit Limerick.

this city was similar to that accorded

lin speech. His remarks were punctuated
with tremendous applause.
