MCCARTHY FACTION
OF THE IRISH NATIONALIST PARTY HAVE A
PROLONGED SESSION.
They Have Subscribed Money TO Start Newspaper
as the Majority Of the Irish Press Favor Par
nsll-Ths Sensational Scenes in the Late
Meeting Denied by Those Present.

LONDON, November THE confer
ence Of the Mccarthy party was pro-
longed until after midnight last night.
Mr.. Mccarthy presided throughout the
session. a committee consisting OF
Mcssrs. Murphy, Barry, Morrough,
Healy, Sexton and Power, were APP
pointed to draft prospectus for pros
pectus for limited company to estab-
lish daily newspaper in Ireland 20 be
devoted To the interests OF the Nation
alist party. Harry Webb, the treas
urer Of the new company, opened list
and the members present subscribed
el,0 ,020. 1t is probable that United Ire
ldnd will become daily pubica-
tion. The nominal capital of the
company proposed is 100000, Of
which 100000 will be paid
up. The majority party are keenly
alive to the disadvantage of the leading
Nationalist papers siding with Parnell,
and the whole of the machinery OF the
National League being under his con-
troll. They are hopeful, however. that
the influence Of the bishops and priests
will assist them to obtain popular
verdict.
Both sides are preparing for an imme-
diate campaign in Ireland. Messrs.
Sexton, John Redmond, Crilly and
others who were present at the closing
scene when the majority seeded
from the parliamentary caucus re-
quest that denial be made
of the sensational statements printed
in certain English papers, and probably
in some American journals, TO the ef-
feet that some members OF the caucus
stood upon the tables and threatened to
fight, and that it was necessary 10 call
in the police TO quell the disturbances.
On the contrary, IL IS stated, the MEM
bers who seeded left the room without
any disorder, and almost in silence, no
offensive epithets being exchanged, as
they quietly filed out. Those who re-
mained kept their seats without remark
until all had left.
A letter from the Archbishops and
bishops was read in all the Catholic
churches in Ireland after the celebra-
tion of the masses to-day. AT ST. Col
mans Cathedral, Queenstown, after the
letter had been read, Rev. Father Fisk
addressed the congregation. He de-
clared that it was no longer possible for
Parnell TO remain at the head Of the
Irish party. He had disgraced, dishon-
cred and degraded himself by his own
acts and could not lead the smallest sec
ton Of the Irish people. In refusing to
recognize the authority OF the bishops,
Parnell was doing incalculabe mischief
to the Irish cause, was performing the
work OF the enemy. and was rendering
the people disunited and distracted.
The Mayor of Cork, after hearing OF
the secession of the Mccarthy party,
last evening, sent the following dis
patch to John O'COnnor:
"Ireland won't allow England to Sc
lect her leader. This right belongs to
Ireland The Irish won't stand Glad
stones dictation."
At the Catholic Church, in Mitchells-
town, the officiating priest, after read
the declarations of the hierarchy,
warned the supporters OF Parnell
throughout this district not TO defy
their spiritual superiors.
Mr.. Mccarthy has addressee circu-
lar TO all the Irish members of Parlia-
ment. including Parnell, calling mass
meeting OF the party for tomorrow.
