IRISH TROUBLES,
Protest Against the Manner in Which
Davitt Has Been Treated.


Davitt Has Been Treated.
PARIS, December 13.h.-Parnell recently
wrote to the French bankers of the Irish
Parliamentary fund requesting them to re-
NIT to him direct whatever cash balances
there might be standing to the Irish Par
liamentary credit. The letter was written
and sent without the knowledge of CO.
Trustee Justin Mccarthy, who, as soon as
he learned of it, took steps TO prevent the
withdrawal of the funds by Parnell.
Legal proceedings have been instituted,
the effect of which is that Mr.. Parnell can
not withdraw the funds from Paris. The
McCarthyites have only about fi 600, and
they have with them all paid members ex-
cepting eight. Parnell, therefore, has the
bulk of the money and very few of the paid
members to take care of. This indicates
the immense advantage of his position.
PROTEST.
LONDON, December 13th.-The DAILY News
(LiberaD protests against the offensive
manner in which the constabulary pur-
friends in Kilkenny. 1t says that impartial
administrator, Balfour, offered no such in.
dignities to Parnell.
HEALYs BITTERNESS.
KILKENNY, December 13th.-The CON-
mittee appointed last night to conduct the
campaign of John Pope Hennessy, the
nominee Of the Mccarthy faction for Parlia-
ment, held meeting to-day. Timothy
Healy made an address, in which he at.
tackled Parnell for employing mob violence
to prevent the arguments of his opponents
from reaching the ears of the people. He
(Healy) and the late Mr.. Biggar knew the
facts in connection with the Ethan in
trigue, and they should have strangled it
when Captain O'Shea was nominated by
Parnell to Parliament. Unfortunately it
was allowed to grow. From Tory point
of view Parnell was the Savior of the
Tories and Mrs. O'Shea was the Tory Joan
dare.
PARNELL's FAscINATIoNs.
LONDON, December l3th.-The Star
Home Rule) this afternoon publishes
direct article denying that Ireland has de-
clsred for Paruell. The Irish people, it
says, may be for the moment in the grip
admiration of strength, whether bad or
good, but Ireland in time will exercise
Parnell and vipdicate her right to self gov
eminent without coniding her destiny 10
one great personality.
FINANCIAL DISPUTE.
DUBLIN, December 13th.-The dispute in
regard to the right of drawing upon the
funds of the National Lesgue has caused
the bank in which the Leagues money was
deposited to order its branches not to honor
checks sent to evicted tenants by the
organization. In consequence, many fam
lilies are deprived of the sustensnce they
received weekly from the League, and must
either suffer greatly or go to the poor house.
The laborers on the railway being built
from Galway to Clifden struck for an in
crease in wages. The road is built by the
Government. and the work started is part
of the Balfour scheme for the relief of un-
employed workmen.
PARNELL's STRENGTH WANING.
LONDON, December 13th.-The Irish
party is now divided into two distinct
camps. Parnell carries with him the ad
ministrative qualities Of his party, but he
has lost its best debaters, and from the
time when he broke up Saturdays meet
ing, he lost nearly every sympathizer
among those who admired him for his
courage. Rablic opinion in England, at
least, has gone against him, as public
opinion often goes against losing cause.
Every step that he has taken since Satur-
day has been fraught with mistakes, es-
pecially since he arrived in Dublin.
The melodramatic capture and recapture
of United Ireland, and Parnell's personal
conduct in that affair, his address to the
mob, indicating that he might have carried
q citadel or achieved some work of real
proves, made the sober-minded spectators
