Cork branca OF the National League today
it transpired that Parneil had not informed
any of his constituents of his intention
previous to the publication of the manifesto
TIE meeting unanimously resolved to
summon . conference with Parnell in
case he goes to Cork. The manifesto
undoubtedly alienated . section of Par
nell's constituents. Fitzgerald and O'KelIy,
Nationalis's, have telegraphed their con-
s,iiuents that they viii resign if Parneli is
sacrinced. Morley will publish d reply to
Parnell's manifesto Monday. The Cork
clergy today adonted resolution declar-
ing that ParneIi has forfeited their conf
dence, and his retention in the leadership
would prove disastrous.
Justin Mccarthy has communicated
with his colleagues In America by cable,
and il said TO have influenced several
waverers against ParnelL The defeat OF
Parnell st the Nationalist meeting Monday
is now considered . forgone conclusion.
The statement that Parnell controls the
Irish parliamentary fund is not true. The
fund is in the hands Of Mccarthy and
James Francis O. Brien.
Michael Davitt was interviewed today
regarding the political crisis. He said:
ParnelPs manifesto is . last desperate move.

blow. He 10 furious against the majority Of his

stones letter rams amuck According to him

false. and Gladstone and the English Liberals
AR wire-puilers scheming against him.
Davitt further referring to Parnell's cry
against the Hawarden proposals. says he
agreed in 1885 to the clauses of . bill en-
tirely excluding Irish representation and
retaining for time imperial control Of the
police and judiciary. The Hawarden ap-
peals were as bad when made rs
now. Why did not he appeal before
Davitt says ParneIl has shattered
all hope of home rule for years. simply for
personal ends and revenge, just Is in 1882
he shattered the land league to get out OF
Kilmainham jail, and was prepared in 1885
to smash his party and debanch the insti-
tutlons Of his country to thrust 0'6hsa on
the Galway electors.
Healy and Sexton and . number OF other
opponents of Parnell held . conference
today. Parneli's manifesto has stiffened
their opposition, and they have resolved to
issue counser-manifesto forthwith. This
manifesto will bear . formidable list OF
signatures. The fight between the two
factions viii be fought TO the bitter end.
and neither side viii isavs s,rstons nm
turned.
The Pail Han Gasstss says: Parnen In

a definite declaration by the Parnellite

through Parnell. who retains absolute con-
troll of the fund for the payment OF Irish
members.
Sexton and Healy are taking the opin-
ion of each Irish member Of parliament O.
to the advisability of organising q move
ment for an alliance of the anti ParnelIites
with Gladstone.
In an interview today Henry Labou-
chere. NJ. p. and editor of Truth, said it
would be charitable to suppose that Parnell
is mad. 1t is impossible to suppose that
man with any honor or partisanlsm would
issue . manifesto so dishonorable to him.
self and soinjurious to his country's cause.
The Star, Home Rule, commenting on
ParnelPs manifesto, says: 1t is the final
act OF suicide. 1t is of malignant power,
and the unscrupulousness and deadly mis-
chief OF its purpose, and its frigid, calm
style invest with terrible force the spec
tacle of his death as q great public man.
There is much of hideous levity in the
document in which Parneil wipes his pen
across the treaty giving England
peace and Ireland home rule. Happily
Parnell is but an isolated factor. The
Party has its DiIlons, O'Briens and Healys
as well as its Parnells. Until these men
decide upon the rupture of relations exist
ing between the Nationalists and Liberals
it is useless to talk of the dissolution of
ties which can never be dissolved by the
act of man.
