PARIS, Dec. 22.--[Special. Mrs. O'Shea
has been trying to preserve her incognito
since her arrival here, but the effort has
not been very successful. Correspondents,
reporters and artists with loaded kodaks
have been waiting and watching for her to
make public appearance. She declined to
receive the representative of a French
pictorial weekly, but he caught sight of her.
and that was sufficient basis for long
article reviewing her relations with Mr..
Parnell, the divorce proceedings, compli.
cations arising from the will of her aunt, ETC.
lady friend who called upon her last
night informs correspondent that she is
very reticent, even TO her most trusted ac-
quaintances. She is greatly annoyed at
the publicity given her affairs, though she
aftirins she can afford to treat public opin-
ion with contempt concerning her relations
with the great home ruler. She said
she was proud to be loved by him; that he
was nobler than any of his detractors, and
was Ill her eyes national hero. She said
she expected him in Paris this week, when
he will consult an eminent oculist as to
the best treatment of his eye, which was
injured in Ireland last week
DUBLIN, Dec. 2o-Two carriers employed
by the InsupprcssibIc United Ireland, while
driving through the streets with a load of
papers, were compelled by masked men 10
drive to Ph9nix park, where the papers
were torn to pieces and scattered in all di-
rections.
At Carrick-on-Suir, Tipperary, tonight a
crowd of Parnellites who attempted TO
make a bonfire of pile of copies of Da-
Wits newspaper were attacked and routed

were wounded.
LONDON. Dec. 22.-A dispatch from Kill
kenny to the Daily Nems says there is not
the slightest doubt that Hennessy is
elected by at least 500 majority.
A circular just issued informs the British
branches of the National League that the
services of most of the officials connected
with such branches will not be needed in
the future, owing to the present financial
position of the League.
KILKENNY, Dec. 2.-The polling passed
off quietly. Timothy Harrington says that
priestly coercion was exercised in North
Kilkenny, and that the Parncllites would
have good ground to contest the validity
of Hennessy's election should he be re-
turned.
In an interview this evening Parnell
said he expected the majority TO be small,
whichever party won. He hoped the Bit
terness of language that had marked the
contest would be forgotten. His eyes were
much better.
Davitt this evening said he was more
confident Hennessy's majority would be
1000.
Reports from Johnstone state that it
was with great difficulty that the police
today prevented a serious collision between
excited rival factions. The excitement
there increased when it became known
that Scully, Parnellite candidate had en-
tered formal protest against the laxity
of the regulation in regard TO the admit
tance of strangers at the polling stations.
He and his friends asserted that the pres
ence in the polling places of many priests
known to be supporters of Hennessy was
contrary TO law.
Information has been received from
Castle Corner that Parnell met with hos
tile reception there. 1t is also stated that
the miners voted solidly for Hennessy.
An alteration took place today between
Harrington and number of priests. This
was occasioned by what Harrington termed
the priests interference with the voters.
Hot words were exchanged, and in spite of
Harrington's protests the priests continued
their work influencing voters thought lean
ing toward Parnell.
