dressed the crowd outside.
To guard against any further attempt
OF opponents To recapture the oillce, the
doors and windows were bolted and
barred. When the office was secured
against intruders, all conversation with
outsiders was carriedou through the key
hole. When Parnell made an assault
upon the office this morniug, he was
armed with a crowbar. which he used IN
forcing the door. In the afternoon Par
nell left for Cork.
After the office was taken, Parnell APP
peared in one Of the windows Of the office
shouting that he would fight the battle 10
the last; that he would only allow the
country 10 decide the issue, and that lac
would submit to the decision Of no man.
He appeared TO he tlerccly excited, and To
have lost his usual self-cuntrol. When in
company with McGough, solicitor for the
national league, he drove IN tho railway
station 10 take the train for Cork, crowds
lined the streets and the windows Of the
houses were filed with spectators. He

LONDON, Dec. TO- Gladstone arrived at
Retford depot and addressed meeting of
1900 persons. lie said the continuance
of Parnell in the leadership would be
fatal 10 home rule. In England, Scot
land and Wales, Parnell was no longer
the leader of the Irish natlonalists who
had separated themselves from him.

ought TO he independent, and that the
consideration and settlement of this ques-
ton ought to be left To them. But there

The trouble respecting the Irish leader

upon the choice Of the Irish leader. The

Office under the British crown before
home rule was considered. The liberal
party's work in parliament was TO resist
coercion in ireland aud that work was a.
urgent now as IL had ever been no matter
who might be the leader Of the Irish
cause.
Gladstone subsequently addressed an
audience Of 5000 persons at the work
