OBRIEN DENIES REDM0ND'S CHARGES

CORK. Nov. 5.-Dr. Charles Tanner, NJ
P for Mid Cork, called to-day upon the
Sheriff of Cork and entered formal protest
against the quantity of stones laid about in
the streets, ostensibly for repairing pur-
poses DR.. Tanner called attention to the
fact that in view of the polling tomorrow
in the election 10 be held for a successor in
Parliament to Parnell, these stones might
be used with deadly effect upon the sup
porters of Martin Flavin, the McCarthyite,
and John E. Redmond, the Parnelli-e.
DIR. Tanner declared that he would have
an inquiry made into the matter, and if it
is discovered that the stone had been laid in
the streets with an ulterior object he would
insist upon the dismissal of the City En-
gineer, who was responsible for having
them placed about the city.
On the eve of the poll in Cork the can
wasting is being carried on with redoubleG
energy on every side. According to an un-
biased forecast the result will be in favor of
the Anti-Parnellite candidate bv a majority
OF 900 votes Patrick O'Brien, NJ. P, at
meeting to-day declared that William
O'Brien, in q conversation with him when
the O'Shea divorce proceedings were pend
ing, promised to adhere TO Mr.. Parnell
whatever the bishops did.
SolHiers Arrive on the Scens.
Great excitement prevails. Both parties are
making their final appeals TO the voters, and
an active canvass is in progress. The arrival
of two additional companies OF soldierv from
Dublin indicates how the authorities regard
the situation. The police will all be on
duty, either on the streets or in the barracks
awaiting the order 10 &C to any place where
thew NAV be needed. 1t is believed that a
good proportion of the 1900 UnioAisS v"-a
will be thrown for the Parnellite candidate
and there is no expectation that Sarsfield
can be elected.
Late tonight crowd of Parnellites at
tackled and stoned body of McCarthyites
parading in Winthrop street and singing
'fGod shve Ireland. - The McCarthvites
fed to the bridge, where they turned and
faced their pursuers. Each side showered
missiles upon the other. but eventually the
Parnellites captured the bridge. About
the same tine detachment of police ar
rived, and after difficulty they succeed L in
dispensing the rioters Many persons were
cut with the stones.
O'Brien Denies His Enemies Charges.
Mr.. O'Brien. in a speech in this city this
evening, said that the Redmond and Har-
rington manifesto was a tissue of grotesque
falsehoods. "Just imagine" he said, ':four
Irish members of Parliament asking the
Irish Bishops to withdraw their letter and
TO repeal the sixth commandment. The only
existing copy of the Boulogne proceedings
was in the hands of Mr.. Parnell's repre-
sentatives."
Continuing, he said: 1t was lie to say
that he had made a second copy and de-
stroyed it. 1t was equally lie to say that
they offered Mr.. Parnell the right to veto
the home rule bill The only proposal
made as solace to Mr.. Parnell was to
give him q consultative voice with Mr.. Me-
Carthv on the details of the future bill
Mr. O'Brien concluded by reading a tele-
gram from Mr.. Gill confirming his version
of the affair.
Timothy NJ. Healy was expected to at
tend a convention held in Sligo to-day, but
he did not appear. Mr. Kilbride, NJ. p,
apologized for Mr.. Healy and explained
that his absence was not due to the personal
injuries received in the encounter with Mr..
McDermott, but important business de-
tanned him in Berlin.
