States for the purpose Of placing before the
American people his side Of the controversy
that has arisen in the nationalist party. He goes
to Ireland today. He will deliver Q political
address in the rotunda on Wednesday and an
other in Leinster Hall, Dublin, on Thursday,
and afterward proceed TO Cork. Longford. Ora
nard, Waterford and Limerick. Parnell will
be accompanied on the tour by the most active
Of his followers. II was said last night that be-
fore his departure from England for Ireland he
would issue a manifesto to the people of the
latter country. All his supporters, including
Mr. Carew, who has heretofore been regarded
as doubtful in his allegiance, will sign it.
] IRELAND THE NEW BATTLE GROUND.
Mr.. Dsvitt will 60 to ireland to assist in the
campaign of the anti-Parnen party. In an
interview Mr.. Davitt said that since he resigned
| the trusteeship Of the league fund he had been
| uncertain to what disposition was made of
| the fund. The amount Of f32, 900 was deposited
with Munro Co. in Paris in 1882, and he
believed that since the death of Mr.. Eagan this
money had lain in the names Of Parnell and
| Mccarthy. But il was never intended. he said
that Mr.. Parnell should have sole control of the
| fund. Mr.. Gilhooly and the o German Mahon
have joined the anti-Parnen party.
Mr.. Davitt III a speech at Stratford yesterday
said that while it could not be denied that
recent events had seriously endangered the
cause OF Ireland, he was glad to be able to say
that during the controversy little had been
said on either side Of which Ireland need be
ashamed. He was confident that both sides
would remain true to the principle Of national
self-gOyernment, and he did not believe that
either Mr. Gladstone or the British democracy
will go back on Ireland now.
The Healy Gaelic Athletic Association has
adopted resolution requesting Mr.. Healy TO
abandon his present position and support Par

places on the first four benches below the gang
way. with n view to prevent the Parnellites from
occupying their usual seatr. Mr.. Parnells seat
had been reserved, he having at an earlier hour
affixed a ticket to it. Mr. Healy arrived later
than his colleagues. When he entered he took
Mr.. Parnell's seat. but Mr. Mccarthy warned
him to vacate it. The party appeared to be in
excellent spirits. Mr.. Mccarthy. amid the
cheering of his supporters, gave notice that
upon the reasscmbling of the house he would
call attention to the circumstances in connec-
ton with the recent arrest and prosecution of
Mcssrs Dillon and O Brien. and would move
resolution in relation to the case.

BY avoiding all Unnecessary publicity. We are
all In complete accord ~ to our action. and we
must beg the public to take no notice Of ridic-
ulOus rumors to the contrary"
