DN-S "a AtOiUAc anu we
| ically separate ourselves from any such
| charge against Gladstone"
Referring to Morley's suggestion that
some OF the Irish party should cooperate
IN carrying out the Irish programme on
liberal lines, the manifesto says that no.
body who knows Morley's character will
doubt that the suggestion was made in the
honest belief that the Liberal Ministry
would be helped in the difficult work OF
carrying through the details of the Irish
home rule bill by the cooperation of his
Irish colleagues, and it was not an insid-
ious, attempt on the integrity and inde-
pendepce of the Irish party.
1t continues: 1--WE have now to confront
the statement that Parnell's leadership
opens an impossible gulf between the
representatives of Ireland and the Liberal
party, who have faithfully observed their
side OF the agreement, and the situation is
aggravated by the deplorable expressions
of ill-will toward the British people, who
have, again and again, within the past five
years, manifested their determination to do
justice to Ireland, and have, by their votes,
paralyzed the arm of coercion. In delib.
erately bringing things to this position,
Parnell has entered upon rash and fatal
path, upon which every consideration of
1re!and's safety, as well as personal honor,
What Mr.. Parnell asks Us to do, stripped
of all side issues, is 10 sacrifice all hopes OF
an early settlement of the Irish struggle to
his resolve to maintain his personal posi-
ton. We are driven TO choose between
our leader and cur cause. In that said
choice we cannot hesitate. We are con-
vinced that calm, but resolute course of
action of our party in this cruel emergency,
will rebound to the advantage of the cause
by furnishing conclusive testimony of the
capacity of our party and people for self
government. We cannot relinquish the
hope that in the face of such decisive ae.
ton by representatives of the Irish people,
Parnelps sense of patriotism will withhold
him from plunging Ireland into these hor-
rors of dissension which have so often
robbed her of liberty at the moment it was
within her grasp, and save him from undo
ing in one passionate hour the results of
all his Incompatible services to his coun-
try."
Tonight, while O'Brien, Gill and O'Con-
nor were drawing up the document sever
ing their connection with Parnell on the
lines agreed upon with their colleagues in
the afternoon, the other delegates, Dillon,
Sullivan and Harrington, were dining in
another part of the city in company with
Mrs. Parnell, the aged mother of the man
five of them had decided must retire. So
far as can be learned, the knowledge of
what had been done was kept from the old
lady, and TO those who knew what was GO
ing on down town the scene must have
seemed strangely unreal.
The delegates who signed the manifesto
were deeply sgitated this evening, but felt
that they had taken the only proper course.
1t was announced late tonight that Har-
rlngton, who did not sign the manifesto,
will separate from his comrades and re-
turn to Ireland. In an interview, Har-
rington said the leadership of Parnell was
absolutely necessary to success He de-
sires the unity and independence of the
Irish party, and deems ParnelPs leadership
necessary for this.
LETTER FROM MORLEY.
LONDON, November 3Oth-Morley has
written to the press in reply TO Parnell's
action with reference to the land bill. Both
Gladstone and himself completely recog-
niZed that their relations with the Irish
party were those of an independent alliance
and not fusion.
"Parnell," he says, Imputed to me a
remarkable proposal with the object of ab-
sorbing the Irish party into English poll
tics by means of office. / made no pro-
posal. 1t was natural that in free conf
Dental discussion of the possible future l
should wish to make sure, for Gladstone's
information, that Parnell still held to his
self-denying declaration of 1850. His an
swer was what l fully anticipated"
Morley says that Parnell's account of
what passed on the same occasion on the
subject of evicted tenants is incorrect.
Though he Morley foresaw difficulty in
the way of legislation. he never said that
he or any OF his colleagues had formed any
conclusions against the legislation. He
did say that whether by direct or indirect
action the eyicted tenants ought not to be
allowed to suffer. He never hin.ei that it
would be impossible for an Irish Parlia-
ment to do anything in the matter.
In conclusion, he says that on November
10th he was under the most distinct i'm
preston that Parnell did not object to the
suggestions thrown out at Hawarden year
ago, as subjects for provisional eXamiua-
ton, if those suggestions were likely to
make the scheme generally acceptable to
Great Britain.
THE BISHOPS WILL NOT SUPPORT HIM.
DUBLIN, November 3Oth.- Archbishop
Walsh, in an interview to-day, said his re-
ceGt utterances we're guarded, because Par
nell had not then spoken. Now, he says,
unless Parnell clears himself of the charge
of adultery, the party taking him as their
leader will not find the support, co. opera.

ParnelPs breach of Gladstones confidence,

PARYELL AT BRIGHTON.
LONDON, November 30th.-Mrs. O'Shea
is at Brighton with her four daughters, and
Parnell was with her during the Parlia-
mentary recess. He returned to Brighton
after the trial OF the divorce case.
WILL he RETIRE?
LONDON, November 30th.-Parnell and
such of his party as support him had con-
ference tonight. 1t is understood that
Condor, Roche, Dessy and Lane urged
Parnell to retire. Parnell, however, ex-
pressed determination to fight to the last.
If Psrnell's supporters adopt obstinate tac-
tics at the meeting tomorrow, the anti
Parnellites will leave the meeting in body
and vote for his retirement elsewhere.
A report is current that unless Gladstone
withdraws his denials in his letters, Parnel
will produce proofs, hitherto withheld, of
the accuracy of his statements.
DIR. Parker, in his sermon to-day, saiG
that Parnell's manifesto showed that the
writer must be mad.
Michael Davitt, in an interview regard
ing the declaration of the Irish delegates in
America said tonight that it rendered
Parnell's continuance in the leadership an
imposSibiity. Its weight with the Irish
people will be immense. The party has
come through the ordeal with the greatest
honor, and be believed it will remain
united and independent. He believes that
to. .morrow's decision will be practically
unanimous. few may join Parnell's
treason. If Farnell remains in Parlia.
ment, and is hostile to the Irish party, be
will be an intolerable menace to their
efficiency and unity. Ireland to q man
would repudiate him, and Cork will do its
duty. Home rule must not be further en-
dengered by misplaced generosity toward
him or those who may uphold his effort tc
smash the party. Though he has lost
Ireland's confidence, he still retains their
gratitude. But if ne makes further at.
tempt to disturb the party, he will be
crushed.
There is rumor that Parnell has offered
to retire voluntarily if Gladstone will sigr

| next home rule bill certain points speci fec
by Parnell.
