Special to THE MORNING CALL.

DUBLIN, Dec. 1.-THE struggle for the
possession of United Ireland assumed a
new phase this morning, and again Parnell
Is in possession. The opponents of Parnell
who succeeded last night in forcing an en-
trance into the Office and destroying all the
leaders prepared by leamy, who was ap-
pointed yesterday to succeed Bodkin as act
ing manager during the absence of William
OBrien, left guard in possession, with
orders to resist any attempt OF Parnell or
his friends to enter the building. This
morning Parnell proceeded to the Office
and, with the assistance of crowd of his
supporters, forced open the doors and took
possession. The police witnessed the af-
fair. but did not interfere. After he had
succeeded in recapturing the Office Parnell
went to the window and addressed the crowd
on the outside.
To guard against any further attempt of
ParnelPs opponents to recapture the Office,
the doors and windows were bolted and
barred, and when the office was secured
against intruders all conversation with out
siders was carried ON through the keyhole.
LOST HIS sELF-CoNTRoL.
After the office was taken Parnell ap-
-peared at one of the windows of the Office,
shouting that he would fight the battle to
the last, that he would only allow the coun-
Try TO decide the issue, and that he wou Id
submit to the dictation of no man. He ap-
peared to be iercely excited and to have
lost his usual self-control. When, in COM
pany with McGoCgh, solicitor for the Ma
tloIal League, he drove to the railway sta
ton to take the train for Cork, crowds lined
the streets, and the windows OF houses were
filled with spectators. He was cheered.
Before Parnell made the attack he pro-
cured two crowbars. Handing one of them
to John O'Connor they proceeded to the
door of the paper and soon smashed it in.
Parnell has ordered that all persons be
treated fairly in the columns of the paper.

the effect of influencing public opinion in
his favoLthroughout Ireland and the number
OF his adherents IS growing rapidly His sup
porters at Limerick are making preparations
for great popular display upon his arrival
there. Cork is also preparing to receive him.

GLADSTONE SPEAKS.
LONDON, Dec; 11.-Gladstone arrived to-
day at Rettord depot and addressed meet
ing OF 1000 persons. He said that the con-
tiDuance OF Parnell in the leadership would
be fatal 10 home rule III England, Scotland
and Wales. Parnell was no longer the
separated themselves frcm him. He GLAD
stone) admitted the Irish party ought to be
independent and that the consideration and
settlement of this question ought to be left
to them, but thete was something beyond all
these considerations in Irish politics, namely,
the great cause IF Liberalism in England,
Ireland and Scotland.
IRELAND's LEADER
THE trouble respecting the leadership"
sdded Gladstone, was an additional reason
for granting home rule. Why should En-
glish and Scotch and Welsh politics de-
pend upon the choice of the issue of a
leader? The confidential communications
between, the Liberal and Home Rule par.
at Hawarden in November. 1889, were
equally satisfactory to both parties"
He believed the O'Shea divorce proceed
iDGs would entirely destroy the moral force
be the Leading champion of the national
cause The Liberals felt that In granting
home rule they constituted the Irish leader
the constitutional ruler of Ireland.
The Liberals were unwilling, after what
had appeared IN the divorce court relative to
the private and public conduct of Parnell,
to make him the Constitutional Governor of
IIeland.s
PARNELL's STATEMENT DENIED.
It was absolutely untrue that Morley had
suggested that Parnell hold office under the
British Crown before home rule was con-
ceded. The Liberal party's work in Par
lament was to resist coercion in Ireland,
and that work was as sacred and as urgent
now as 1t had ever been. no matter who
might be the leader of the Irish party.
Gladstone subsequently addressed an audi
ence Oh o0O0 persons at the work shop. LIE
said the determination of the Liberals was
trrevocable They could not undertake
effectually to support the cause of home
rule at the next election in connection with
one particular name. He pointed out the
impostance OF continuing the struggle for
