LONDON, Oct. 9.-The attitude of the
leading Parnellites puts beyond a doubt
their determination to maintain the con-
fict with the followers of Justin Nc
Carthv. The vacant seats of Cork and Kill
kenny, made so by the deaths of Mr. Par
nell and Sir John Pope Hennessv, are ex-
pected to be contested again by rival Ma
tionalists The talk OF the Irish group in
the National Liberal Club indicates tbe
existence of a proposal to avoid contest by
giving the Cork seat to a Parnellite and that
of Kilkenny to an adherent of Mccarthy.
The temper of the Parnellites is against
anv compromise, for they believe that the
reaction in Ireland toward Parnellism is so
strong that thev may succeed even where
their dead chief failed The want of money
resources alone is likely to dampen their
combative ardor.
In relation to the Paris fund, there are
queer rumors that it will be found to be so
depleted that there is almost nothing left.
Mr.. Parnell's personal finances, as is known,
were seriously reduced during the past two
years.
TRYING TO RAISE A LOAN.
A few weeks before his death he came to
London seeking an extension of time on
several bills He explained that it was to
enable him to pay up some outstanding
calls on his shares of FTeemd,'S Journal in
order to maintain his right to vote at the
board. His long delay in paying the costs
OF the divorce proceedings was similarly
due to a want of ready money. He ought
to have a large income from his estates, his
stone ouarries and the $4,000 testimonial
he received some years ago. He was not
extravsgant personally, but he beggared
himself in his secret expenditures in the
cause of home rule.
The mention of the name of John Red
mond as sectional leader arises from Mr..
Parnell's recent confding to him the con-
duct of the campaign in Great Britain. The
growing sense of his physical weakness
caused Mr.. Parnell, when too late, to begin
to arrange for a temporary period of rest
He intimated TO his colleagues that he must
remain a while in the background; that
John Redmond would act as his lieutenant,
he himself continuing to direct the move
ment 1t was hoped that Mr.. Parnell by re-
pose would be invigorated to an extent
sufficient to enable him TO meet the strain
Of the general election. 1t is improbable
that the section recognize this as sufficient
to give Mr.. Redmond the right to the
leadership.
A FORMER LEADER MENTIONED.
Their dilemma led the name of William
Shaw to be again heard. Mr.. Shaw is the
Parliamentary leader whom Mr.. Parnell
supplanted. and is now living at Hampstead
and is hale and hearty. He was sometimes
consulted by Mr.. Parnel himself If the
Parnellites resort to his advice he will sim
plv urge the instant cessation of sectional
strife and the reunion of the party on a
basis of the policy of the majority.
The Independent Labor party, influenced
hv Sidney Webb and other Socialist chiefs,
has become inclined to accept the offer of
the Liberal Federation Executive and sub
nit to the guidance Of Mr.. Schnadhorst If
the executive gives pledges that the pay
ment of members be feature of the first
Liberal budget the labor leaders will with
draw their candidates.
The greatest trades union, the Amalga-
mated Engineers, having executive depart
ments in Great Britain, America and Aus
tralia, is about TO reorganiZe. Tom Mann,
at a recent meeting of the English execu-
tive. advocated an increased latitude to the
United States and Canadian councils. The
conditions of work in America forbade the
men TO be bound by rules applying to those
of Great Britain.
TOO MANY AMERICAN BRANCHES.
The number of engineers was increased so
enormously in the United States that the |
society ought not TO be content, as at pres
ent. with 10 American branches. With |
good tactics six times 30 might be estab- |
lishcd, TO the mutual interest of the English |
and American branches,
Tho Women Writers Club is now fairly |
constituted. Its president is Mrs. H. E V. |
SrannarG, whose nom de plume is John |
Strange Winter, and the vice presidents |
are the Marchloness Of Stafford, the Count |
ess Of Munster, Lady Paget, who edits |
SlHcr, Mrs. Woods and Mrs. Ritchie, a |
daughter of Thaekerav.
