Irishmen Against the ''Saxon
wolves"-Eitterness Increasing.

DUBLIN, Dec. 17.-Though Parnel suf-
fered intense pain from the effects of the
lime thrown into his eyes yesterday, he
was able last night to deliver an address
from the window of the Victoria hotel at
Kilkenny to large crowd. During the
address his face was covered with bandages.
He detailed the events Of the day, and the
crowd became exasperated at the manner
in which he had been treated. Many
threats of vengeance were made. This
morning Parnell's breakfast was served to
him in bed. 4 close examination of his
eyes revealed the fact that his sight had
not been injured.
Parnell's eyes have become inaamed and
he is confined in darkened room.
Sir John Pope Hennessy has expressed
to the committee having charge of the
campaign of his opponent, Scully, his re-
greet for tie attack on Parnell yesterday.
Parnell has issued a strong appeal to the
Hillside men, calling on them to not SUBJ
nit to English dictation. He says, in
part:
VIII you give up your chief to Saxon wolves,
or wiz you rally around him as your fathers did
around the men of %, and shout, mo surrender.
Hurrah for parnel, the leader OF the ndepend
ent Irish party. Gather, men of the Hillside,
at ST. Johns well, on sunday, around your chief
and hlIrl defiance ut his enemies aud the
enemies of your race.
Parnell was interviewed today with re-
gard to the charges referring to the fund of
10000 raised several years ago for his
benefit lie said he spent it among the
workmen of Wicklow, giving 200 men emf
ployment in mines and quarries, which is
likely TO prove permanent, for he had
heard that the search for the great lode of
magnetic iron has proved successful. He
referred to the development of this indus
try and the possible development of the
coal and iron ilelds in other districts,
which would give Ireland great indus
trial future.
In q published interview, Maurice
Healy is represented as saying that assur-
ance can be given the public that no settle
Tent OF the political crisis is possible by
arbitration. The contest, he said, would
be fought to the bitter end.
Notwithstanding the injunction issued
against it the Suppressed United Ireland, the
paper, again appeared today. Hereafter
the paper will be entitled the Tnsuppressi5Ec
United Ireland.

Patrick Egan. giving instructions for the
transfer of his share in United Ireland

the Irish party wanted authority or sane
ton for what they had done, the magnih-
cent gathering there assembled gave it to
