Mr.. Timothy Healy said he regarded this

COMPROMISE OFFERED PARNELL.
Upon the reassembling of the meeting Mr.
NJ. J. Kenny declared that it would be impossi.
bic TO obtain home rule without forming an
alliance with an English party. He strongly
objected to subordinating the interests of the
Irish people to any particular man. Mr.. Par
nell, he said: had been offered an honorable
compromise.
The Chairman-What was II?
Mr.. Kenny-To retire temporarily.
But instead of accepting this offer, said Mr.
Kenny, Mr.. Parnell had issued a manifesto de-
barring him from the craftsmanship henceforth
should majority of his party decide that il
would be best for him to retire. Why did Mr..
Parnel in June express implicit belief in the
good faith of the liberal party, having the
Hawarden interview in mind? asked Mr..
Kenny. Why did he keep the interview q secret
until a personal issue was raised? [Cheers.l

Mr.. OKelly declared that whatever might

Mr.. Parnelrs retirement would not Be decided
| at Westminster. A decision ought not to be
too hurriedly reached. 1t would be best to
give the country time to think. Tho power of
the liberal party to do anything for the further
ance OF the home rule cause was limited by the
house OF lords. which was always a barrier un-
| less Its members feared a revolution. But they
would never zee a revolution in England based
upon Irish claims.
Mr.. Arthur OConnor advised Mr.. Parnell 10
withdraw, as henceforth it would be impossible
Tor him to be the leader Of the party.
Mr.. Jordan accused Mr.. Parnell OF sacrificing
the cause of the nation to his insensate pride
and culpable ambition.

PANELS FRIENDS UNIDENTIFIED.
Notwithstanding the result of the vote at the
meeting, friends OF Mr.. Parnell said that his
position was becoming hourly stronger, his tao
tics being worthy of his bes. days. He is no,
trying to avoid deposition from the leadership
so much as to gather his forces about him and
strengthen himself in Ireland and America.
The leader, whose name is now in everybody

dined at the Cafe Royal, in Regent street, with

warm-hearted loyalty of Mr.. Harrington.

PARNELL SHOULD RETIRE.
Irish-AmericaH Members of Congress So Ex-
press Themselves.

press Themselves.
There are good many men in the American
Congress who take deep interest in Irish af-
fairs and are concerned about the present I'M
fortunate controversy there. They are gen.
orally reluctant to say much about the subject,
but of half a dozen who talked with a STAR
reporter yesterday not one hesitated to say that
he thought Parnen should retire from the
leadership Of the Irish party. Mr.. Quinn of
New York, who is a native of Ireland, said: Il
feel so much that hardly dare trust myself to
talk on the subject. l have always had the
highest regard for Mr.. Tarnell and think this
is most unfortunate affair, both for him and
for Ireland. i think he should retire from the
leadership at once. The Irish people in Ire
land. in their native land, are above all things
a religious and virtuous people. Such
scandal as Mr.. Parnell is implicated in is neces-
| ssrily a shock to the whole people. II was a
terrible wrong TO the Irish cause that he should
| allow himself to be led into such a position
But being in. he should have at once retired
| from the leadership of the Irish party The
Irish are a forgiying people, and in time he
| might have been restored to his old position.
but he should have retired a. once. His mani
| festo and the attitude he assumes place the
| cause In great danger. The English friends of
| Ireland cannot cooperate with the party while
he is at the head and his disposition to fight it
out threatens injury to the cause'
| The only thing Mr.. Tracy of New York would
say that he thought the Irish delegates to
this country had adopted wise and proper
course.
Mr.. O'Donnell of Michigan said he thought
| the situation very bad. II think" he said
| that for the good of the cause Mr.. Parnell
| should retire at once"
| Mr. Tarsney of Missouri said that the Irish
| people might overlook almost any shortcomings
in a man except the one of crime against the
| integrity of the family. He who comes be-
tween man and wife is the greatest offender"
Parnell he thought, could not remain at the
| head of the Irish party.
| Mr.. Sweeney of Iowa said he felt very an xious
| about the welfare of Ireland. He, too. thought
| Parnell should retire. When Gladstone first
came over as an advocate of home rule for Ire
| land Mr.. Sweeney was a member of the Iowa
state senate and there offered a resolution of
congratulation to Mr.. Parnell and approval of
| Gladstone's course, which was adopted in both
houses and telegraphed to Parnel. Through
out, he says he has been admirer Of Parneli
and has taken deep interest in Irelsnd's cause.
| He thinks the present situation most unfortu-
nate; he thinks Parnell should have retired at
| first, when the scandal came out; that the man
| ifesto was unwise and that he should not remain
| at the head of the party.

He (Kenny) had little hope for the future of
the Irish party if they depended upon the
chairman to save them from the chicanery of
English statesmen. Irishmen looked to their
representatives in the house of commons, not
to Parnell alone, for salvation. If Parnell had
been keenly DESTROYS of saving the situation
he would have withdrawn. BY adopting that
course he could have continued to be useful to
Ireland But his present policy tended to
render home rule impossible.

Mr.. ]. F. X. O'Brien declared that they had
little leadership from Parnell in recent years.

an intOlerable disgrace.
