HENNESSY is ELECTED
He Has a Majority OF Over
One Thousand.
PARNELL WILL DO HIS DUTY
He Will Gro Through Ireland Fight.
ing Every Election With
All His Power.

KuKEssY, Dec. % The official result
of the election yesterday to I'LL the va
cancv in the house of commons shows
that Hennessy, the nominee Of the anti
Parnellites, was elected.
Hennessy's majority Is | LAG.
There was little or no excitement here
this morning.
Messrs. Parnell Harrington, Red
mond, Scully, Hennessy and Healy were
ut the courthouse at an early hour
awaiting an actual announcement of the
result.
Immediately after the sheriff officially
announced the result of the polling the
Parnellitcs present moved in n body to
the front of the courthouse, and then,
with cheer, hoisted Parnell up on their
shoulders.
Parnell was upon the point OF making
a speech when Timothy Healy APP
peared and trouble Immediately ensued
Finally Parnell, in order to prevent what
seemed likely to be disgraceful row,
asked the police to induce Healy to with.
draw. Tho police promptly acted upon
Parnells suggestion. and the Healyites
were prevailed upon to depart.
Parnell resumed his speech, saying he
would not be turned aside from his do
termination to do his duty to Ireland.
Seeing that the result of the contest in
North Kilkenny was brought about by
conspiracy, Parnell added, he would go
through Ireland fighting every election,
and felt confident of eventual triumph.
Scully will lodge a petition protesting z
against the election of Hennessy, on the
ground of undue influence upon the
part Of priests. Over 200 voIes were
challenged by Parnellitcs.

JAMEsoN's DIARY.
Some Severe Roasting OF Stanley
Looked For.

LoNnoS Dec. %. --Jomeson's diary
will be published Tomorrow. In the
preface Mrs. jameson and the dead
mans brother bitterly attack Stanley
for making Jameson u scapegoat for all
all the troubles, which they assert are
due to Stanley's own bad Judgment and
neglect.
The diary is a record OF the daily prog
ress and adventures of the expedition,
nterspersed with disputes between STAN
ley and his followers and literally
sprnkled with the records of Jameson's $
grievances against Stanley.
In one place he says Stanley degraded
three chiefs, the best natives Jameson
had ever seen, and only released them
on the interposition OF Tippoo Tib.
Again, he refers to "a ''disgraceful row"
between Stanley, Jephson and Stairs, in
reference to complaints of the natives,
whose word Stanley takes in preference
to that of his officers.
Referring to the camp of the rear
guard al Yambuya, Jameson says that
Stanley left them seventy-six of the
very worst men under one worthless
chief The camp, he said, was pitched
in a frightiully damp place. He de-
scribes many thrilling adventures.

LONDON, Dec. 2a-Michael Davitrs
newspaper the Labor World, to-day re-

honor in its most vital part and who
betrayed trust of honor committed to

Parnell should not be permitted to hold
the power which he abused and which
would render Ireland's condition under
