AGAINST HIM.

His Manifesto Conference.-The De-
cision of the Enjoys to be Read at
the Nationalist Meeting in London
To-day-Morley Denies the State
ments Made by Parnell.
CHICAGO, Nov. 30.-Following is a brisg
summary Of the entire manifesto Of the
Irish ENJOYS, as dictated in person by them
for the Associated Press before the docu-
ment was completely revised:
Il declares against the continued leader
ship of Mr.. Parnell, ana condemns
the manifesto OF Mr.. Parnell for its
attitude toward Mr.. Gladstone, Mr.. Morley
and the English people. II is from a
column to a column and half long. 1t is
addressed to Justil Mccarthy, to be read at
the meeting of the Irish party tomorrow
tMonday) in London. 1t viii be signed by
all the delegates except Mr. Harrington.
From an indirect source Of information 1T is
obtained that Mr.. Harrington declined to
sign the manifesto on personal grounds. He
was said to have stated his position in these
words: "My judgment is against Mr.. Par
neil, but my heart is with him"
SIGNING OF THE PAPER.
Tonight at 10 o'clock, three of the six
Irish ENJOYS in America signed in a room
in the Grand Pacific hotel. behind closed
doors, the last strokes of the document that
severed their old time connection with
their leader, Mr.. Parnell AT the same
moment, in private residence two miles
| away on one Of the boulevards,
three other envoys, including two
whose names were attached to
| the document, were dining in company
with Mrs. Parnell. the aged mother Of that
same long time chieftain. The three to
whom fell the task of filing out the docu-
during the afternoon were Messrs. O'Brien,
Gill and T. p O'Connor.
THOSE At THE DINNER
Those who fulfilled their engagement
made for the party a fortnight or more ago
to dine with Mrs. Parnell, were Messrs. Dii-
lon, 1. ID. Sullivan, who agreed to the paper
signed against her son and Timothy Har-
rington, whose sense Of personal loyalty, 1t
was reported, was too strong to be put
down, even though it isolated him completely
from his fellow men. So far as could be
learned Mrs. Parnel mercifully knew moth
ing of what was being done IN the closed
room downtown. The dinner had score
or more of persons present, aud to those
who knew what was going on elsewhere
must have seemed rangely unreal
PAINFULNEss OF THE DUTY.
In their manifesto the Irish ENJOYS say
that sense Of the matchless genius of MIR
Parnell as leader, of the imperishable SER
vices he has rendered to the Irish cause, of
the courage, integrity and splendid success
| with which he has led their people
| for ten years and the tie Of comradeshlp
| and personal respect aud affection which
| va ND Ia ho,, l.
| them suspend to the latest possible moment
| their Judgment against his further leader
| ship. The obligation to express that judg-
| ment is to all OF them the most painful duty
| of their lives. No earthly consideration
could have moved tde1n to their determina-
tion except solemE conviction that they
are driven to choose between Mr.. Parnell
and the destruction of their country's cause.
so painfully alive were they to all that
| might be involved in the loss of such a
leader that they eagerly co-operated with
their colleagues in every effort to retain
his influence in their counsels. The
manifesto which Parnell has Just issued
cuts them off from the last hopes to which
they clung. Anxious to avoid any word
that might embitter the controversy, they
would not dwell upon the cruel injustice
with which he treats the members of the
party that has followed him with a loyalty
and affection such as no leader ever expert
enced before.
A LEAGUE BRANCH GOES BACK ON HIM.
PHILADELPHIA, PA, Nov 30.-The Par
nell branch of the Irish National League to-
| day adopted a resolution calling upon Mr..
| Parnell to retire from the leadership of the
Irish parliamentary party, aud the secre-
tary was directed to telegraph the resolu-
ton to Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien, at Chi
cago. and to the Irish leaders in London.

| try, and has been regarded as one of the
most important. 1t reached its decision to-
| day after discussion lasting more than an
| hour.
MORLEY ANSWERS PARNELL.
| LONDON, Nov. 30.-Mr. Morley writes to
the press as follows: "The manifesto of Mr..
| Parnell contains two or three statements
| affecting me, which | desire without loss
| of time to correct. As to the first, | made no
sort of attempt to fetter Mr.. Parnell's &C
tion with reference to the land bill. lie
agreed with me in all our conversations that
the bill ought to be opposed as omitting
the principle of local control, and for other
reasons specified in bis speech of April 81
The only question was as TO the form of the
motion for the rejection Of the bill. |
pointed out t. him on April IA that, as
many liberals objected to the whole princ
pie of the bill. an amendment stating their
reasons would be less suitable than motion
for its rejection sinlpIiciter. Mr. Parnell
assented. Two days later he explained to
me his alternative plan for fining down rents,
and this. at his request, Immediately COM
municated TO Mr.. Gladstone The same
evening l wrote 10 Mr.. Parnell that Mr..
Gladstone felt We could have nothing to
say about his plan, ore way or another,
but that, of course, he was perfectly free to

tions with the Irish party were those of an
Independent alliance. and not OF fusion.
NO PROPOSAL MADE.
"Second, Mr.. Parnell imputes to me in our
conversation OF Nov. 10, five days before
the proceedings in court were begun, a
remarkable proposal with the object OF

politics by means ct Office. made no pro-
