Before the appointment of the committee
Mr. Psrnell asked the meeting for an in.
formal show Of hands on the Clancy
amendment The show disclosed only
Messrs. Barry and Chance as standing out
against the amendment
MIR. Parneil Would Retire.
During the discussion on his amendment
MIR. Clancy announced that he had author.
ity % state that Mr. Parnell would retire
II the communications with Mr. Gladstone
resulted satisfactorily. Mr.. John Red.
mond confirmed Mr. Clancy's statement.
Mr.. Sexton said that the announcement
had given him great qualification, and
enabled him to hope that Mr.. parnell
would voluntarily resign his position IN
der circumstances making 1t possible for
those differing with him now 10 agree that
he made his retirement from public life a
means of obtaining advantage to his coun-
try. (Cheersl
Signs of a Love Feast.
Mr. Timothy Healy, speaking with much
emotion, said that IL Mr. Parnell felt able
to meet the party on the points put for
ward, his (Healy's) voice would be the
first, at the earliest moment possible CON
sonant with the liberties Of the country, 30
call him back to his proper place as leader
Of the Irish race Enthusiastic cheering.)
Mr.. Chance held that the Clancy proposal
raised a false issue, and could not possibly
lead to a settlement. Cries OF "No, morn
Mr.. Parnell here asked for a pause OF
twenty-four hours to consider whether tn
question OF his retirement from public life
should be governed by the decision Of the
party or by his own view regarding the
satisfactory nature Of the replies of En-
glish statesmen to vital questions as to the
control Of the Irish police, the future pow
ers of the Irish parliament and the land
question. Mr.. Sexton thereupon moved
an adjournment for the day and the mo
tion was carried.
They WIN Meet wv. Gladstone.
The committee met after the meeting
adjourned and decided TO intrust the ne
gotiations with Mr.. Gladstone to Messrs
Healy Redmond, Sexton and Leamy. It
is reported that Mr.. Parnell promised to
abide by the decision OF the majority on
the value Of Mr.. Gladstones assurances at
a meeting Of his adherents on Wednesday
night. His adherents are confident that
Mr.. Gladstone's assurances will not be ad
equate
His Hearers Were Not "In IL"
At the opening Of the meeting Mr. Par
nell declared that he could not bind him
self to retire until he could see Mr. Glad
stones reply. He insisted that his posi-
ton had been granted him not merely rs
leader Of the party, but as leader Of the
nation, and was derived from a train of
circumstances wherein, speaking with the
greatest respect for his hearers, they had
no share, and on account of his services / n
assimilating and soothing the prejudices
and discordant elements of the Irish race
He added: "You know and know that no
man living, If am gone, could succeed in
reconciling the feelings Of the Irish TO the
Hawarden proposals"
Mr.. Parnell then submitted resolution
that the party will accept no home rule
unless it gives Ireland immediate control
of the police and power TO deal with the
land question. He wanted it fully under
stood that If Mr.. Clancy's resolution was
accepted and the Liberal replies were found
satisfactory he would place himself in their
hands.
Mr.. Heaiy Scores Parnefl.
Mr.. Parnell having suggested the com.
mittee Mr.. Healy expressed amazement at
Mr. Parnell's extraordinary speech" and
protested against adding a new condition
TO the Clancy amendment He said Mr..
Parnell wanted to withdraw the question
Of the leadership and substitute the ques-
tion Of home rule. Did he think they were
childrens
They could depose Mr. arnell, and he
would tell Mr.. Parneli that he was no
better than the majority Of his party Mr.
Healy continued TO make bitter references
to Mr.. Parnell's present attitude. Pro
ceeding to discuss the circumstances of
the bill of 1885, be declared that they could
not do more now than they did then.
Mr.. Parnell-You can with courage
Mr. Healy-Yes, with millions Of men
and artillery, but without them there is no
alternative but as In 1885 to accept Liberal
proposals or smash the cabinet" He be-

angry. Mr. Healy taunted Mr.. Parnell /
with his allusion to Mr.. Gladstone as a |
"garrulous old man." etc. Mr. Sexton |
said he had listened TO Mr.. Healy with |
piercing disappointment and regret. He |
asked Mr.. Parnell if he would resign If |

reply. Mr. Parneu replied, Certainly"
Mr.. Barry asked for further explana-

he had taken contentious part. Mr.. |

terms. Greater men than Parnell had sue
