COLLEAGUES, NOT SLAVES"
At yesterdays meeting of the Parlia-
mentary representatives of the Nationalist
party, Sexton, who opposes Parnell, made
an allGsion to statement by Parnell in the
manifesto that the Radical wre-pullers
sapped the integrity of the Nationalist
party. Parnell angriy retorted that his
statement referred only to section of the
party and animadverted upon the conspiracy
existing in every hole and corner Of the
House of Commons between certain Irish
chere and Stuart. Sexton claimed that he
himself and his friends had been loyal to
the party, and added, I'VE are your col
leagues, Parnell, and not your slaves"

THE LAND BILL.
In the Commons to-day Balfour moved
tnat the Irish Land Purchase Bill pass to its
second reading.
Ellis moved an amendment declaring the
Dill unsafe as regards the Imperial ex-
chequer and unjust to the occupants of the
land.
Gladstone said he found nothing in the
changes in the bill since the last session
likely 10 render its character more satisfac-
tory, He. reminded the House, in view
oil the Tact that circumstances pre-
vented the presence of the Irish
members tonight, that it would be
great mistake to pass land bill opposed
TO their desires and convictions. The want
OF Irish authority went to the root of the
whole matter and mpelled every true friend
OF Ireland to oppose the bill.
Chamberlain advised Balfour TO withdraw
his concession removing the twenty years
limit, but 10 adhere to the rate payers pleb-
iscite.
Balfour replied that he estimated the tota
amount required to complete the purchase
at sos 000, 900. The bill, in providing for an
advance of 433 G00.000, would make a great
impression and greatly simplify the prob
lem. lie would reconsider the question of
the tWenty-year limit The rate payers
plebiscite he considered valuable alter
alton.
THE NATIONAL LEAGUE.
DUBLIN, Dec. "a meeting of the Ma
tional League was held to-day The pro-
ceedingss We're stormy. The names of Sex
ton and Healy when mentioned were
greeted with groans and Kisses. The Chair
man made violent speech in favor of Par
nell. Protestant moved and Catholic
priest seconded resolution calling upon
ireland to support Parnell. The resolution
was G carried, n, Win few dissenting votes:
great ieveler. We do not object to having
the decision of the Nationalist party relative
to the retention of Parnell in the leadership
postponed until the feeling of the country
has had time TO manifest itself unmistak-
ably. Dublin is certainly fit place for such
a decision 10 be taken. 1t would then un-
donbtedly be an Irish judgment
LINCOLN lNcbr), Dec. AT a special
meeting of the Lincoln Branch of the Irish
NATIONAL League this evening resolutions of
\
cahled to him. President Fitzgerald and
Secretary Sutton of the national organiza-
ton still decline to express any opinion
pending the meeting of the Executive
Council.
AMERICAN DELEGATES RECALLED.
CHICAGO, Dee. 2.-Timothy Harrington.
the only one of the Irish delegation here
who is in favor of Parnell. to-day received
1he following telegram from Redmond and
Kelly, supporters of Parnell: Return to
England at once if you want TO save the
party. Affairs are in a critical condition,
and your help is much needed. Implore the
otHer members OF the visiting party to come
also. Harrington could not be found, and
Dillon disclaimed any knowledge of the ca
blegram.
SYDNEY, Dec. 2.-The Morning Herald
prints interviews showing the Irish leaders
In Australia are in favor of the retirement
of Parnell.
A GAME OF OBSTRUCTION.
NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-The Worlds Lon
don special says: Parnell is playing the
same game OF obstructi n on his own party,
which he has often used with such powerful
e1ect In the Commons, and perhaps he Will
win by it. He claims that every day of de-
lay weakens the opposition. He claims to
nave Weaned three more members from the
opposition, while the anti Parnellites assert
that the members who have deserted them
are unimportant men, and that the large
majority INSISTING parnall'c orr i~
not affected.
Edward Harrington, Secretary of the Ma
tlonal League. has joined Parnell, aud most
OF the officers Of the league have followed
pm. he has ordered the machinery of the
league to be set In motion, and is working it
In the interest of Parnell The league funds
are securely locked up in Paris bank, and
not penny can be drawn except by check,
signed by Parnell and indorsed by his
coLeagues OF the League Executive Com
mlttee, including Justin Mccarthy.
Ihe control of these funds gives Parnell
immense power over the Irish members
most OF whom are dependent upon them for
their salaries. Parnell knows how and
where to apply the pressure. The question
Of utilizing the moneys now being collected
In America has been discussed by the oppo-
nents OF Parnell. 1t is proposed that they
De used as Parliamentary funds so long as
the regular supplies are withheld by the
deadlock which he has created.
ALMOST CERTAIN DEFEAT
The Times London special says: At mid
night Parnell, facing certain defeat, is more
subdued in his demeanor than Yesterday.
Courteous and dignifed and to the
last exhausting all the devices of obstruc-
ton, he announced the votes proclaiming
the destruction of his leadership with
as much calmness as if he were uncon-
cerned. During the debates he resolutely
and unfairly ruled all points in his own
favor Still he conciliated his opponents
with his politeness and gentleman
Illness. The Irish party's decision
has now been practically recorded, but Par
nell, clinging desperately to a pretense OF
leadership, has prepared series of filibus-
terlng motions for tomorrow and will not
allow vote to be taken on the main uues-
ton while obstruction is possible.
IRIsHMEN IN NEW YORK.
Amcng Irish-Americans here there have
been few voices raised in support of the
Continued leadership of Parnell of the Parlia-
mentary forces, but 1t is insignificant in
comparison with the opinions of the infiuen-
tial BODY OF lrisbmen which have been eX-
pressed on the opposite. Henry McKeenan.
one OF the founders of the Irish Parliament
ary Fund says: 1.-The action most necessary is
to follow the advice of O'Brien, Dillon and
other trusted representatives of Ireland in
the English Parliament in calling upon
Parnell to make way for some other Irish
member who will lead the Parliamentary
party in conjunction with the English Lib
eIal party to an assured triumph in behalf
Of the home rule eau se.'
