hlS NOTICE or PrOteSt-What the
London Papers Say on the Result.
KILKENNY, Dec. 2S.-The result of the
election held yesterday to I'LL the seat for
North Kilkenny in the House Of Commons,
made vacant by the death of Mr. Macum,
was announced at noon to-day. The polling
resulted in victory for the anti Parnellites,
their candidate, Sir John Pope Hennessy,
being returned
The vote was as follows:
Hennessy y.................-... ........ 2,5S2
Scuily ...... 1885
Majority for Hennessy sy....................1 LIN
scULLY's PROTEST.
Mr.. Scully has lodged n petition protest
ing against the election of Mr.. Hennessy
on the ground OF influence on the part Of
the priests, particularly referring TO the
action of the priests in connection with the
illiterate voters of Castle Conner. It is
stated that over 200 votes were challenged
by the Parnellites.
In spite of the excitement caused during
the past week by the political struggle, and
though the actual result of the battle was
practically in doubt up to the hour Of noon
to-day. there was little or no excitement in
the streets of Kilkenny this morning, peace
and quiet seeming to reign.
IN THE COURT HOUSE.
Opposite and about the court house a
small crowd gathered. Messrs. Parnel,
Harrington, Redmond, Scully, Honnessy
and Healy were i'll the court house at an
early hour awaiting the actual announce
ment of the result. Though tho ParneIlites
claimed mp to the last moment that victory
was lowering over their banners, the defeat
OF their candidate was virtually admitted
long before the close of the polls
yesterday. In view Of the almost vital
Importance to both sides of the exciting
political contest just decided. both parties
deserve great credit for the fact that no
collision took place, and the last day of the
campaign, at least. was conspicuous for
almost total absence Of the personal abuse
which has recently been exchanged. Dur
ing the morning. as has been the case since
the polls closed, the door OF the counting
room in the court house was strictly
guarded by police, but there was no at
tempt to create any disturbance.
PARNEDL ON THEIR SHOULDERS.
Immediately after the sheriff had Off
cialiv announced the result of the polling,
the Parnellites present moved in q body to
the front Of the court house. and then, with
cheers, they hoisted MIR. Parnell upon their
shoulders and gave him a rousing reception.
Mr. Parnell was upon the point of making
Healy appeared among the crowd. The
Parnellites resented the intrusion by as
suming menacing attitudes, threatening
personal violence to the HeElys in case they
did not leave. Finally Mr.. Parnell, in
order TO prevent what seemed likely to be
a disgraceful row, asked the police to in
duce the Healys to withdraw.
THE HEALYs LED AWAY.
The police promptly acted upon Mr.. Par
nelfs suggestion and the Healys were pre-
vailed upon to depart under police protec-
tion. While they were being escorted out
OF danger Mr.. Parnen diverted tho attsn-
tion OF the crowd by resrlming his
attempt to make a speech, saying that he
would not be turned aside from his deter
nlination to do his duty to Ireland, seeing
that the result of the contest In North Kill
kenny was brought about by conspiracy.
Mr.. Parnell added that he would go through
Ireland fighting every election, and that he
felt confident Of eventual triumph.
TANNER TO SUE PARNELL.
1t is stated here that DIR. Tanner will
bring suit against Mr.. Parnell for libels
contained in speeches made by the latter
members Of the Parnellite party in
this section, after the announcement
of the defeat of Mr.. Scully, were
to be seen dolefully paradIng the court house
passages, apparently being In very de-
spondent state OF mind. AS q matter of
fact the Parnellites were not so discouraged
as smight have been expected, for it is
admitted that it was really q victory for the
priests, aud that had they not adopted the
tactics they did. the result Of the election
would have besn different.
M'cARTHYITEs ELATED.

ing Of the Mccarthy committee was held

SPEECHES BY PARNELL
DfleUuly QgfDOuSLfRDlOnS wore maze AC
most Of the places at which Mr. Parnell
stopped on his journey from Kilkenny TO
this city. He made several brief addresses
on the trip, in which he declared that the
fight had not been an equal one, and that
the electors had been misled. But
the fall Of the first fence, he
said, need not cause despair. His friends
had been forcibly prevented from doing
their part at Kilkenny, where 1900 electors
voted blindly against him. He would not
falter in his fight against the Davit.-Stead
conspiracy. These men In their hearts were
enemies Of the Irish movement. He had
the materials and would expose the methods
Of the conspirators.
