TWO IRISH PARTIES NOW.
Parnell and Healy Both Lead
in the Commons.
ANOTHER ENVOY FOR AMERICA.

Ho WIN Present MIR. ParpeIi's side of
tho Nationalist Dispute to People ON |
This side OF the Big Poud--A Plot 20
Hustle the Irish Statesman.
IoNDog, Dec. O. The Irish members are
now divided in two parties in the house Of
commons. Mr.. Parnell appeared and took
his seat Mt the usual hour, and listened
with interest to the debate He never looked
better. His leading opponents, however,
Healy and Mccarthy, appeared nervous
and uncomfortable, especially the former,
who seemed anxious to avoid the gaze Of
his colleagues Healy seemed TO feel il in
cumbent upon him to do something to show
that Parnell was no longer the solespokes-
man for the Irish party. and at the hrst
opportunity he interjeeted motion Of pro
test against the way the government was
rushing legislation through without the
usual degree OF explanation and debate
In view Of the fact that this expedition OF
business had been due TO tho internecine
strife among the Irish members themselves,
the motion gave rise TO sUne laughter, and
Mr.. Parnell smiled grimly at the poor re-
ception accorded to the first official act of
his rival in the leadership.
They All Like Mccarthy.
The English members donot place much
confidence in Mr.. Healy's abilities as a
parliamentarian, and are not inclined 10
be any too patient with his efforts In that
direction, though they recognize his force
a. a ~ 4la.r
the chairman OF the anti -parnell faction,
Is, on the other hand, quite popular in the
house among members Of all parties, being
respected for his literary fame and his per-
sunal character. In the parliamentary
discussions, however, he has not made
much impression, and Timothy Healy's
claim to lead the secessionists is not dis
puted.
A Plot 20 Hustle Parnell.
The financial situation OF tho anti-Par
nellites continues critical, but 1t is hoped
that the action Of the Tipperary town com
| missioners in repudiating Parnell will
| have an important influence elsewhere IN
Ireland. Though Mr.. Parnell controls
nearly every Irish fund, the Tipperars
fund Is an exception, being under the dis
position OF Messrs. O'Brien and Dillon
Both sides Re preparing for a rousinl
campaign Il is stated that DIR. Tanner
following in Cork are organizing plot u
use personal violence against Parnell b.
hustling him in the crowd during his com
ing visit to that city.
III Irish News In Brief

OF his followers TO America TO present hi
