 NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-Gold to the amount of 5000, 900 will start from Europe this week for New York. Nearly all of this will come by the steamship Majestic, which sails to-day. The gold will tend very strongly to relieve the money stringency in this country.
 The above news gave strength to ths financial world, which it has not had for days. Stocks were easler and advanced all along the line. The rate of money was very much lower; there was an ap- parent dawning of confidence once more which produced decided feeling of re. lief among the men who, last Saturday, were willing to make any sacrifice for Q temporary accommodation, and bankers reported a much better feeling through the country.
 There were rumors all day of confer. ences and many sorts of meetings be- tween financial men of all sorts to arz range easier methods of exchange and to form syndicates for the purchase of fabu- lous sums of gold in Europe. But none of these rumors could be run down with any success. The only thing which re- sembles conference of any character was sort of informal meeting of bank presidents in the Clearing House imme- diately after the regulor morning con- ference. At this talk there was dis cussed the advisability of purchasing a large amount of exchange in London and importing gold therefor, but almost as soon as the subject was broached it was decided that it would be much more ad- visable to wait few days to see exactly what effect the present shipment of gold would have on the financial situation,

THE KILKENNY FIGHT.
The Feeling in the District at Fever
 Heat.

The Feeling in the District at Fever
 Heat.
 DUBLIN, Dec. 10.-Mr. Parnell will take a personal part in the canvass of North Kilkenny, during the coming campaign for the election of a Member of Parlia- ment. He is much cut up by the decision of MT. Pope Hennessy, to stand as an anti-Parnellite candidate, especially as it was MT. Parnen who brought him for ward as a candidate for the vacant seat.
 It is probable that the fight at Kill kenny will be sort of text for all the future fights in the various Irish con- stituencies, and for this reasons both sides will prepare with great care for this initial presentation of their respec- tive cases to the people. The feeling in the district is at fever heat, and 8 more fully representative locality for the first appeal to the Irish people could hardly have chanced to offer itself.
 MT. Hennessy's action in repudiating Parnell. for whom he is known to have a great personal admiration, is thought to show the strength of the Catholic in. fuence in the district. The extent to which this whole quarrel may resolve itself into a religious strife is, many think, too little taken into account in the current comments on the situation.

 Sir John Pope Hennessey Takes the Field
 Against Him in Kilkenny.
 DUBLIN, Dec 10. Mr. Parnell arrived here to-day accompanied by 200 SUD- porters as body guard, and a number of other deputations, who went to Kings town on special train this morning to welcome him on his arrival from London and escort him to Dublin.
 When the Irish chieftain arrived here there was great crowd to greet him, and he was given royal well come. They cheered him with wild en- thusiasm, and he was forced to make a few remarks. He said:
 "You shall have no cause to regret that you stood by me, and you will be with me to the end, and together we will win for our country what God has determined she shall get.
 Something approaching to a fusion has been and is now taking place. This is what it is necessary for me to check and prevent, and for this ask the help of our race. It might have been difficult to draw the line between a self-respect- ing alliance and a dangerous fusion, but that line has now been clearly marked. It was passed by MT. Gladstone one month ago, when he suggested, through the mouth of MT. Morley, for my consid- eration, whether the pledges which I had made to my constituents iL Cork in 1880 were any longer binding and whether it would be possible for me or any of the members of my party to take office in the next administration. The subsequent attempt on MT. Gladstone's part to in- terfere with the management of the Irish party and to veto the election of their leader has further revealed the mind of this accomplished stragetist, and has shown to me fully, and to all partially, the danger upon the brink of which we stood and still stand.
 'tMr friends, thank you for this cor dial welcome, and will address you more fully tonight
 MT. Parnen was then escorted to the Mansion House, where he will be the guest of the Lord Mayor.
 This evening @ torchlight procession will be held in his honor, in which all the bands in the city will participate. The procession will escort MT. Parnell to the Rotunda, where, as has already been an- bounced, he will deliver an address.
