PARNELL MUST GO.
Tho Irish Envoys to America Issue
Manifesto
Demanding His Retirement from the
Leadership of His Party in Pariin-
ment-Archbiahops Croko and
Walsh Also Demand Par
nolrs Dothronemsnt.


CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-Two OF the Irish
delegates-John Dillon, 7. P. O'Connor,
William o'Brien, T. D. Sullivan and T.
p. Gill-have decided to join in the de-
mand CT their colleagues In Ireland to
call on Parnell to retire from the lead
ership of the Irish people. Their de-
,cision was embodied in manifesto
which was cabled last night to Justin
MCCARTHY, as vice chairman of the Irish
Parliamentary party. The decision will
be placed before the meeting Of the Irish
members to be held in London this after
noon. Timothy Harrington is the only
one OF the delegates to stand by Par Ill
The fact of o'Brien and Dillon join
ing the opposition to Parnell practically
settles, according to men competent to
jndge, the vote OF the Irish party TO be
taken to-day on the question Of the
Irish leadership. 1t was only after q
series OF prolonged and patient confer
encss, beginning at Cincinnati on Fri
day and terminating at the Grand Pa
oific Hotel last night that the five Irish
members of Parliament came to the
conclusion that the interests OF the
Irish cause demanded that they range
themselves with Gladstone against Par
nell.
It's evident that bitter struggle Is
fmminent between those who will stick
to Parnell in Ireland and the members
of the Irish party who will call for his
dethronement Those among the masses
in Ireland who will not approve OF Par
Ill o.. .,,;. s,xA 1aa Ill
It is said, engage in no active opposition
against him. If this should occur, the
spectacle will be presented of Parnell
taking the stump in Ireland with ar
dent, active friends ut his back, while
the members of the party who oppose
him will have on their side inactive
sympathizers. Timothy Harrington en-
tertains this view, and it is not over
looked by the fivo mon who issued the
manifesto last night
Harrington urged this phase of the
situation on his colleagues in tho
humorous conferences hold since Fri
day. His position as secretary OF the
National League in Ireland renders his
opinion on the subject all the moro val
liable and it was this fact that prevented
Dillon, O'Brien and the other members
from reaching decision at Cincinnati
Mr. T. d. Sullivan thinks that Parnell
will be told to stand aside not alone by
majority OF the Irish members, but by
nm overwhelming vote OF the Irish peo-
ple should they be called on to decide
the issue.
The Irish delegates in this city an.
nounce that the money now being raised
in this country is to be entirely turned
over to the plan of campai gn" men,
who, acting on the advice of D illon and
OBrien, abandoned their homes in Tip.
perary and are now encam ped in wooden
houses in New Tipperary.
LONDON. Dec. 1.-Mr. Gladstone in
letter to Mr.. Mellor, Liberal candidate
for Bassetlaw, says that Mr.. Parnelrs
manifesto has widened the gulf by
which recent disclosures had separated
him from the Liberal party, who have
now to consider the great cause of JUS
tice for Ireland apart from any individ-
aal name. But he (Gladstone) is glad
to think that, so far as appears, there
will not be any severance between the
Liberals and the National party, for Mr..
Parnell has thrown over his colleagues
and acknowledges in them no right OF
authority.
Archbishop Croke telegraphs to Jus.
tin Mccarthy as follows: 1--WE are all
sorry for Mr.. Parnell, but still, in Gods
name, let him retire quietly and with
good grace from tho leadership. If he
does so, the party will remain united in
honorable alliance with the Gladston-
tans, success at the general elections is
assured. and h me rule is certain. If he
does not the alliance will be dissolved,
the elections lost home rule Indefinite
ly postponed, coercion perpetrated and
the tenants hopelessly crushed"
DUBLIN, Dec 1.-Archbi bishop Walsh's
letter having been variously interpre-
ted, reporter sought an interview with
the prelate yesterday to solicit more
definite sta tement of his views. He said
thar his letter was couched in guarded
terms because Parnell had not spoken.
Tho manifesto of Mr.. Parnell now en-
abled the Archbishop to speak more
plainly and he declared that unloss Mr..
Parnell clears himself of the crime OF
adultery, any party taking or retaining
him as leader will not find the sup
port cooperation or confidence of t
Irish bishops
