United Ireland'S Story Of The
Dublin Meeting Denied.
lntmatiOn That Pafnell Vas PeNed With
Mud Instead Of Lime
Bishop MalOSue Of Sacramento Gives the
Result Of His Observations During
Trip Through Ireland.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

LONDON, Dec. 19.-Archbishop Walsh has
telegraphed to the London papers that the
account of the meeting of the Chapter OF
Dublin. as published yesterday by United
Ireland, Is shameful fabrication. The
article declared the chapter adopted a reso-
luton urging the ecclesiastical authorities
TO abstain from taking any action on the
Parnell matter.
The branch of the National League on the
Island of jersey has adopted resolution
against Parneil
PARNELL's INJURIES
dispatch received in this city from
Michael Dayitt states that the injuries sus-
tanned by Parnell at Castle Conner were in
fiicted by women and girls, who pelted him
with -four and mud. The story that lime
was thrown in his face and eyes. the dis
patch says, is ParnelPs latest disgusting
dodge TO evoke sympathy and divert the
peoples mind from the real issue.
The Kilkenny correspondent of the Tele-
graph declares that he tasted some of the
matter thrown at Parnell and found the
substance gritty and acrid. and it was un-
near Castle Conner.
MUD INSTEAD OF LINE.
DUBLIN. Dec. 19.-Canon Cody asserts
that it was mud that was thrown in Par
nelPs face and eyes, and not lime, as
claimed
Parnell and his colleagues drove to Johns
town to-day. Redmond, in alludlng to the
denials that lime was thrown, declared that
two doctors staked their reputation on the
fact that it was lime they found in ParnelPs
eyes.
Mccarthy addressed meeting at Kilken-
ny to-day. as did also Sexton. The latter
deeply regretted the violence done to Parnell.
CANON LEES DENIAL.
Canon Lee, Dean of the Dublin Chapter,
writes long letter denying that the chapter
met in Dublin as asserted by Parnell, and
adds that he is convinced that Ireland should
act in accord with the manifesto of the
hierarchy. "ParnelIs character as revealed
in the divorce court" Lee says, speaks for
itself. and since the verdict he has
given further abundant proof of his unfit
ness for the leadership of the Irish party"
Lee proceeds at much length to state his
opinion that in view Of the excited state of
public feeling 1t is inexpedient fer the clergy
to mix up with violent meetings. He is no
less clearly of the opinion that the clergy
the people on every suitable occasion that
despite his many precious services they find
themselves forced TO the conclusion that
they must regard Parnel as fallen leader
nc longer worthy of TIE peoples confidence.
BISHOP MANoGUE's VIEWS.
New York, Dec. 19.-Right Rev. Bishop
Manogue of Sacramento Cal, has arrived
on the Majestic Bishop Manogue was born
in Kilkenny, Ireland, and is on his way
home after spending eight weeks travelling
fhrQnpb #
tile present Irish situation the Bishop says:
AT present the people of Ireland are so
greatly excited they have difficulty in view
ing the situation wisely. However, there can
be no doubt the leading people of Ireland
feel convinced that Parnell is making a
great mistake in maintaining his position in
face of the fact that it is more than likely
that he could, by temporary retirement, gain
home rule for Ireland in short time. To-
day the ardent weli-wishers and workers
for ITeland's cause believe Parnell is no
longer working for the we'll being and well
fare of his country. They believe Parnell1is
now making his fight for Parnell and not
for home rule. He has the advantages of
the prejudices of the Irish people against
England. and is now deliberately postpon-
Ing the further advancement of the cause
Tor which he so long and honestly labored.
GREATER THAN GLADSTONE.
" His fight to-day is to be a greater man
than Gladstone. He refuses to perform the
great act of patriotism by withdrawing and
thereby giving chance for the Irish men,
bers 10 remain intact, acting with the Lib
erals to confer upon Ireland the longed-for
boon of home rule. The people of ireland
could not have been weaned from
Parnen had it not been for the ex-
posure of the divorce courts. In that
case he promised to come forth from
public trial unstained, and left many
of the very best Irish elements in doubt as
to the issue. But they trusted him and
= believed him innocent Then instead of
clearing himself he appeared neither per-
sonaly nor by counsel. and by thus confess
ing himself guilty he ittrlv disappointed
his MOI ardent friends. 1t is this admis-
sion ofguilt which led so many supporters
OF home rule to declare against Parnell. The
next general election will show how thor
oughly he is repudiat1d."
ALMOST DESERTED.
The Times Cork special says: Although
at this juncture the eyes of the world are
fixed on North Kilkenny, yet, being anxious
to observe for myself the strength OF the
feeling u the people in other parts of the
country. l have made careful inquiries
throughout Cork. Nearly every public
board in County Cork has declared against
the ex,leader. while not a single
man Of any prominence in the
county has declared in his favor
In other counties scattered Parnelite ad-
herents are occasionally able to make DEM
onstrauons In favor OF Parnell by the con-
struction of bogus resolutions. The feeling
indeed against him is intensely bitter. Any
priest who spoke in favor of Parnell would
incur the risk of suspension. To insure a
favorable reception Parnell sent consider
able sum of money TO this city, and it is no.
toriOus that the torchlight procession which
met him on his arrival was arranged at his
own expense. The tide of public feeling in
Cork has begun to set steadily against Par
nell.
