that severed their old time connection with their
leader, Parnell. At the same moment in pr-
vate house two miles away the three other dele
gates, including two whose names were attached
10 the document, were dining in company
with Mrs Parncll, the aged mother of the
Irish leader. The three to whom fell the task
Of filing out the document that had been
agreed upon in outline during the after
room were William O'Brien. T. p. Gill
and T. 7. O'Cennor Those whe fulflled their
engagement made for the party fortnight
moro ago, TO dine with Mrs Psrnell were Dillon,
T D. Sullivan. who agreed TO the paper against
her son, and Timothy Harrington. whose sense of
personal loyalty, it was reported, was too strong
10 allow him to sign the paper So far as cenld
be learned, Mrs. Psrnc knew nothing of what
was being done in the closed room dewn-
town. Mr. Dillon soon returned TO the hotel.
The manifesto to which his name attached
had already been nearly all given out, as il was
written a few sheets AT time The bulk OF the
document was al that moment the desks in
the London newspaper offices, where it had been
sent by cable word by word. as rapidly as it
crossed the threshold of the room where O'Bren,
Gill and O'Connor Were weighing their phrases.

turn, but his dcmcanor he left the hotc to

Irish Parliamentary party
Our sense of the Inatcnless genius Of Nh
Parnell as leader. Of the mIerishsble services
be has rendered the Irish cause, Of the courage.
integrity and splendid success with which he has
led our people for ten yeaIs and the tie Of COM
rsdeship and personal respect and affection which
for years bound us r. him, have made MS suspend
70 the latest possible moment our Judgment against
his further leadership. The obligation to express
that Judgment is to all Of us the most painful
duty of our lives. No earthly consideration could
have moved US TO our determination except the
solemn conviction that we are dllven Ia choose
between Mr.. Parnell and the destruction Of our
couptry's cause. So painfully alive were we -
all that might be involved In tie loss OF such a
leader that we eagerly co-operatcd with our col
leagues in every effort to retain his influence in our
counsels The manifesto which 1E. ParneH hdS

which we cling. Anxious TO avoid words that
might embittcr this controversy. We shall not
dwell upon the cruel injustice with which he
treats the members Of the party that
hes followed him with a loyalty and afec-
ton such as no lea 1er ever experienced before.
