Town Council that a motion will be made to
Mr. Parnell's name from the roll OF burgesscs The
Council received the notice OF the motion in silence.

cable dispatch sent Ireland last night but its terms
are practically agreed upon, and joint message which
is uncon promising in support Of Parnelrs leadership is
being signed by all the delegates and will be sent to-day
