DUBLIN, Dec. 24.-At meeting of Nc
Carthyites committee today, Davitt de-
MED that the priests had used intim-
idating tactics in North Kilkenny.
Healy said the league funds in Ireland
were overdrawn to the extent OF $4,000,
as the bulk of the money was locked up
in Paris. Healy added that a compro-
mise arrangement between Parnell and
his opponents was out of the question,
and that the latter would fight to beat
Parnell on every platform.
Healy also said had Sculy won, he
would have been unseated, owing to
bribery and corruption by his political
agents who expended in the campaign
$1,000 more than the legal allowance.
Healy declared his belief that secret
service money had been spent in Kill
kenny to widen the split in the Irish
party.
Kilkenny is NOT IRELAND.
United Ireland, referring to the cleo
ton in North Kilkenny, says: Kilkenny
has declared for Gladstone against Par
nell. The battle was fought with every
weapon that hatred, malice, ingratitude
and treachery could supply. Behind the
mutineers were the priests, eager to re-
gain the power Parnell secured for Ire
land ten years ago. They sanctioned
methods OF warfare hitherto unused, and
opens fighting was supplemented bv
secret intimidation; but although this
combination secured a victory in Kill
1ya, H.. 1. i L
kenny is not Ireland. They shall be
forced to renew the battle at every spot
on Irish soil from center to sea.
PARNELL GOES TO PARIS.
The Freeman's Journal says Parnell
starts for Paris tonight to meet his trustv
lieutenant, William O'Brien. Parnell,
according to the Journal, refuses to be-
lieve that the friendly conference be-
tween OBrien and himself will be bar
rem of results, until they have definitely
tailed to establish modus vivendi.
HE WILL STAY IN THE FIGHT.
Parnell said today that he would go
from here to Paris to offer his congratu-
lations to O'Brien on the success of the
latter's mission to America. In regard
to himself, he said he would not recede
one inch from his position. After his
return from France, he proposes to re-
sumo the campaign, beginning at Linn
erick.
MCCARTHY IN FRANCE.
BouLoGNE, Dec. 24.-Justin Mccarthy
arrived yesterday. Regarding the cleo
tions in Kilkenny, he says the result
surprised his expectations, its decisive
character being accentuated by the fact
that Scully's votes included at least 400
to 600 conservatives, making the total of
the Parnellite strength only one quarter
of the total poll. Mccarthy said he be-
lieves the defeat of Scully will have the
effect of disorganizing the opposition,
and will induce many waverers to come
out against Parnell.
RECONCILIATION IMPOSSIBLE.
In an interview today Justin Mccarthy
declared that his idea in coming here
was to inform O'Brien fully in regard to
the recent events in Ireland. Mccarthy
said he believed, in view of Parnell's
declaration after the Kilkenny elections,
that all ideas of reconciliation between
the two factions must be abandoned.
Even negotiations were hardly possible,
he added, as no basis for the settlement
of the dispute existed, Parnell having
refused to accept the result of the Kill
kenny election, and declined to abandon
the leadership. "The Nationaists,"
added Mccarthy, "will never consent to
Parnell's retention of the leadership.
Some of the Parnellites are lukewarm
in their adherence, and only stick to
Parnell through a feeling of chivalry.
1t is likely some will join O'Brien when
his decision is known"
Mccarthy spurned the idea that
O'Brien would join the Parnell party
without openly declaring himself.
THE VATICAN PLEASED.
ROME, Dec. 24.-It is announced on
good authority that the victory of Hen
messy over Scully, at the election in
North Kilkenny, is undoubtedly well
coined at the Vatican. 1t is also under
stood that the pope approves the atti-
tude assumed by the Irish bishops and
priests. The pope, however, will not
interfere in Irish politics, having de-
cided to maintain his usual attitude Of
reserve.
DILLON MORE THAN SATISFIED.
New YORK, Dec. 24.-Said Dillon this
morning: II am more than satisfied
with the majority in the Kilkenny cleo
ton. | am much surprised that the
vote was SO large"
SCOTLAND BURNING.
