Cork, Dec. Ill New York Herald Gable
Special to THE BEE. l-Parnells star is on
the wane. Audacious effrontery may carry
the day at the start, but it cannot last. In
Ireland Parnell's apparent success is flash
in the pan. His reception at Dublin last
night was to be expected. The publicans
are for Parnell and the priests are for the
patriots. The publicans with the unthinking,
and particularly among the young, make
loud NOISE and much show. They did last
night Still it was only small proportion of
the population of Dublin, though headed by
the lord mayor, McCarthy's supporters are
quiet and yet without headquarters and an
organ, but they will soon have both; but for
a couple Of weeks, or perhaps more, Parnell
will have his own way. He met with
terrible check today. His journey to Cork
was intended to be a triumphal march. Be
fore beginning it he captured United Ireland
for the second time. He capture it first on
Wednesday, and at 3 O'Clock this morning the
patriots retook it, Parnell is greatly exer-
cised at the carelessness of his heutenants.
was with Healy today when he got word
that another attack was contemplated, but
he got there too late. United ireland was
once more in the hands Of Parnell. 1t is a
curious contest in which physical force is the
arbiter and likely TO remain so for some time,
as neither cares to invoke the law and both
dislike the assistance of the police. In spite
Of the loss of the paper, Mccarthy and his
followers are confident of victory. They
say they have all good citizens with them and
that Parnell could not carry Cork if he went
to the people. The reception last night looked
much better on paper than otherwise. The
people at it were not representative. 1t is
easy to raise a crowd IN Dublin and money
was no object.
Having recaptured United Ireland, Parnell
took the train for Cork. About a hundred
people at the station cheered and wanted a
speech, and he spoke a few words. The train
was very slow. 1t travelled at the rate of
thirty miles an hour and stopped at every
station, apparently In order to give the sur
rounding country a chance to gather and
Parnell's lieutenants were always on hand
and called for three cheers. The
gatherings were very small until Thur
les was reached. There was a crowd
of one hundred. Thurles is the residence of
Archbishop Croke Heretofore whenever
Parnen has made tour his reception has
always been the charge of the priest. Not
:
At Limerick junction a crowd of 200 met the
train.s Every man was armed with stick.
The crowd was evenly divided and it looked
like war, but nobody was hurt
Great preparation was made for the recep-
tion at Mallow. This is William OBrien's
constituency. The reception will not soon
be forgotten by Parnell. AT the head of the
procession was large portrait Of O'Brien
with the inscription, 10 Brien Forever"
Five thousand people were on the platform
when tho train drew up. There were terrific
cheers for O'Brien and Dillon and terrific
groans for Parnell. An address was pre-
sented by the town commissioners and the
people of Malow to Parnell. They begged
him to listen ito few outspolSen words"
Some Of these were: "Your audacious claim
to be the leader of the Irish race we
spuru with infinite disgust" The address
referred to his seizure of United Ireland as
an outrageous tyranny and wound up with
the notice that the people of Mallow would
| fight him to the death. The address having
been read, the people cheered
for O'Brien and Dillon with terrific
energy. A man called out, "You ruflau,
you did what Balfour would not do" This
was followed with awful groans for Parnell
and rush for the carriage in which he sat.
Attempts were made to pull him out of the
carriage, and would have succeeded but foI
the inference of those with him assisted by
some outsiders. The train left Mallow amid
a storm of groans
When the train arrived at Cork Parnell
was met by torchlight procession and by a
crowd, including several bands, all OF which
| were hired. He spoke in the chamber of
commerce and the Victoria hotel. He said
'If you are satisfied with me, care not
for all the world besides If you are satisfied
| with me, Ireland will be satisfied with me. l
am happy with your approval. AS fellow
citizens l would not be false to you. l will
win this battle and then we must
win triumph and victory for Ire
land, and you, men Of Cork,
my constituents, will then be the proudest OF
the proud, since it fell to our lot on this day
to be brave and true for the cause of ouI
country"
Kilkenny will tell the tale. Parnell goes
there tomorrow accompanied by Nolan, Har
rison, Fitzgerald and others. If there is nc
blood spilled there will be surprised.
A Tough Gang.
