Farnen VIII Fight for His Place.
LONDON, Dec. 1.-Mr. Parnell wirsd in
vitations for his colleagues favorable to
him to meet him Saturday night at the
Westminster Palace hotel. Twenty-four
members responded Mr.. Parnell discussed
his position, informed those present Of his
relations with the Liberal leaders aud ex-
pressed q determination TO fight for the
retention Of his place. A canvass OF the
Nationalist members yesterday showed
mot counting the envoys in America)
forty-eight against Parnell, twenty-four
for him and seven doubtful.
Is IL Conservative-P -ParneIl Combine?
Rufnors are current that Mr.. Parnell has
been during the day in private consulta-
tion with two members Of the Salisbury
cabinet, one OF them Lord Knutsford, who
is known to possess the peculiar personal
confidence Of Lord Salisbury. Nothing is
known as to the object or meaning of the
consultation, but surmises are afioat, ap-
parently countenanced by prominent con
servatives, TO the effect that an understand
ing may be arrived at between Lord Sails
bury and MFR. Parnell, the former to pass
the land purchase bill as amended in ac-
cord with Mr.. Parnells views, and also to
concede at least partial home rule to Ire
land in the form Of provincial councils for
the administration Of the local affairs Of
the several provinces This would be salts
factory to Ulster, and allay the strenuous
opposition which home rule has encoun-
tered in that section of Ireland.
Club gossip has it that the Tory plan for
taking the best advantage OF the disrup-
tion OF the opposition is to hastily pass
the land purchase and tithes bills and then
dissolve parliament and go to the country
on platform made up of these promises:
County government for Ireland; an eight
hour law for miners, and a royal commits
sion on the subject of a general eight hour
law; free education.
Parnell's Long Start.
BY issuing his manifesto In the Saturday
morning papers Mr.. Parnell gained forty

Gladstone's reply, which could not reach
most points in that province before Sunday
night or Monday morning. 1t is likely
that the resolutions passed at many places
in Mr.. Parnell's favor were secured by this
fact, the Parnell document having been
most assiduously distributed by Mr.. Par
nell's excellent machine.
It Widened the Gnif
Mr.. Gladstone, in letter TO Mr.. Mellor,
AAbtA@ al NthhAiudbS Aui tlhonShAhnf says hhAh
Mr.. Parnell's manifesto has widened the
gulf by which recent disclosures had sep
arated him from the Liberal party, who
have now to consider the great cause OF
justice for Ireland apart from any indi-
yidual name. But he (Mr. Gladstone) is
glad to think that, so far as appears, there
will not be any severance between the Lib
erals and the National party, for Mr.. Par
nell has thrown over his colleagues and
acknowledges in them no right of author
ity. He goes past the constitutional rep
resentatives of his country in fancied
appeal to the nation which has chosen
them to speak its wants and wishes.
What Archbishop walsh Says.
Archbishop Walsh's letter having been
variously interpreted, a reporter sought an
interview with the prelate at Dublin to So
licit more definite statement Of his views.
He said that his letter was couched in
guarded terms because Mr.. Parnell had
