DUBLIN, Dec. 4.-At meeting the
McCarthyite committee today Davitt
denied that the priests had used intimi-
dating tactics in North Kilkenny. lIealy
said the league funds in Ireland were
overdrawn to the extent of s2,000, as the
bulk of the money was locked up in Paris.
Healy added that compromise arrange
ment between Parncll sand his
opponents was out of the ques-
ton, and that the latter would
fight to beat ParneI ON every platform
lIealy also said that had SculIy won he
would have been unseated, owing to bri-
berry and corruption by his political agents,
who expended in the campaign ElUo
more than the legal allowance. Healy de-
clared his belief that secret service money
had been spent in Kilkenny To widen the
split in the Irish party.
Parnell said today that he would go from
here To Paris TO offer congratulations to
0'Brien on the success OF the latter's mis-
sion to America. In regard to himself he
said ne would not rccede one inch from his
position. After his return from France he
proposed to rastme the campaign, begin
ming at Limerick
United ireland, referring to the election
in North Kilkenny, says Kilkenny has
declared for Gladstone against Parnell.
The battle WAS fought with every weapon
that hatred, malice, ingratitude and
troeachery could supply. Behind the mutt
neers were the priests, eager to regain
the power Parncll secured for
Ireland ten years ago. They sanctioned
methods of warfare hitherto unused.
and open fighting was supplemented by
secret intimidation. But although the
combination secured the victory at Kill
kenny, it must be remembered that Kill
kenny is not Ireland. They shall be forced
to renew the wager of battle at every spot
on Irish soil, from the center to the sea.
The Freeman's Journal says that Parnel
starts for Paris tonight to meet his trusty
lieutenant, William 0'Brien. Parnell, ac-
cordlng TO the JournGi, refuses to believe
that the friendly conference between
0'Brien and himself win be barren of re-
suits until .hey definitely fail to establish
a Hodus siyendi.
BoULogSE, Dec. Y.--Justin Mccarthy
arrived Yesterday. Regarding the election
in Kilkenny he says the result surpassed
his expectations its decisive character be-
ing accentuated by the fact that Scully's
votes included al least 100 to GOO Conserva-
tiyes, making the total Parnellite strength
only one-Quarter of the total poll Nc
earthly said he beliesed the aefeat OF
Scully Would have the effect of disorganiz-
ing the opposition and induce many
waverers TO come out against parnel
In an interview today Justin Mccarthy
declared his idea in coming here was TO in
form o BTien fully in regard to the recent
events in Ireland. Mccarthy says he be-
liesed. in view of Parnell's declarations
after the Kilkenny election, that all idea
of reconciliation between the two factions
must be abandoned. Even negotia-
tons were hardly possible, he added
as no basis for settlement OF
the dispute existed, Parnell having
refused to accept the result ol
the Kilkenny election and declined to
abandon the leadership. The National
lists said Mccarthy, will never consent
10 Parnell's retention of the leadership
Some of the Parnellites are lukewarm in
their adherence. and only stick to Parnell
through feeling of chivalry. 1t is likely
that some will join O'Brien when his de
cision is known
Mccarthy spurned the idea that O'Brien
would join the Parnell party
ROME, Dec. 24--lt is announced on GOOD
authority that the victory of Hennessy
over Scully at the election in North Xii
kenney was undoubtedly welcome at the
Vatican. 1t is also ascertained that III,
pope approved the attitude assumed by
the Irish bishops and priests The pope
however, ii is added, will not interfere in
Irish politics, having decided To maintain
his usual attitude of reserve.
