ment upon the situation, which they de-
clare Will certainly involve hopeless fup-
ture of the Liberal and Nationalist alliance.
Many Liberals are beginning l. suspect
that the true inwarduess of the stubborn
attitude maintained by the Parneliites j.

Mr.. Parnelrs very natural dislike Of " r..
treating under fire." and induced him 10 re-
tain the leadership, knowing that
such action would indefinitely pro
long the Parliamentary struggle. The
Irish societies of Liverpool and the north
of England have held meetings at which
the Parnell problem was discussed, but the
results have been indecisiye, opini IA
being about evenly divided as to whether
Parnell should be advised TO retire or not.
