Timothy Harrington came out with an
interview tonight. In substance Mr.. Har-
rington said that he had maintained silence
hitherto upon the unfortunate break in
the Irish party because general
discussion could not lessen the chance
OF reaching good and harmo-
NOUS understanding. Hegoes ON at length
to declare that his relations TO his late c u
leagues are OF the most cordial nature still.
IL was not a personal matter that caused
his differences IL 1t were personal mat
ter he would have hesitated a long time.
But he failed to see the force of the reason
ing Of the opposition to Mr.. Par

Parnell has betrayed any public trust that

grieved to 500 his colleagues grow so

to Mr.. Gladstone 1t seemed az if their
faith in Mr.. Gladstone was unbounded
and In Mr.. Parnell very small indeed. In
fact, political expediency seemed TO be the
only argument they had for ousting Mr..
Parnell from tho leadership. The Irish
people would fout tue idea of throwing

Gladstone of home rule.
AN OVATION AT CORK.
Cork. Dec. 1L-Mr. Parnell's reception
in this city was similar to that accorded to
him in Dublin, his welcome being of the
most enthusiastic character. The speech
he made in tho chamber Of commerce was
fully as defiant as hls Dublin speech.
