Mr.. Parnell started for Dublin this even

of this city, had assembled at the railway
station, and ON the appearance of their
leader, cheered wildly. Mr.. Parnell en-

A dispatch from Dublin says: Two hun
dred supporters of Mr.. Parnell, who will
act as his body guard; the Parnell Leader
ship Committee, and number of other
deputations will 60 to Kingstown tomorrow
on special train for the purpose OF welcom-
ing Mr.. Parnell on his arrival from London
and escorting him to Dublin. In the even

his honor, in which all the bands in the
city will participate. The procession will
escort Mr.. Parnell to the Rotunda, where, as
has already been announced, he will deliver
an address. During his visit he will be the
guest of the Lord Mayor at the Mansion
House. 1t is Mr.. Parnell's intention to re-
organize the National League in Dublin.
Many Friends Left in Dublin.
The Erening Telegraph says it believes
that the meeting to be held in the Rotunda
tomorrow, at which Mr.. Parnell will speak,
will declare passionatelv for him. The
people do not desire a manifesto from 45
renegades nor an expounding OF the future
policy in Nationalist newspapers subsidized
by Gladstonian gold. They must explain
their past policy. They were elected as
Parnslltes, the Telegraph says, and it
challenges them to test whether Ireland de-
sires to retain them as antI-Parnellites.
The anti-Parnell section OF the Irish
party met in London to-day and discussed
the terms OF its proposed manifesto. Nothing
definite was decided upon. Chairman Nc
Carthy read cable message from the anti
Parnell delegates in America, which was
as follows:
Cordial sympathy with your resolution. Re-
garding methods for immediate future, owing
to impossibility of adequate discussion by
cable. we desire to leave responsibility, as
hitherto, to you. We are cooperating by the
methods we believe hest to secure ParneiPS
withdrawal and the reunion of the party.
Mr.. Parnell has been invited to visit
Mitchellstown during his tour in Ireland.
He has been assured that 10000 persons
will assemble there to- welcome him.
