PARNELL WILLING TO RETIRE IN
HIS FAVOR.

O'Brien Waiting to Hear from Dillon
Before Giving His Revival
Of the Rumor that Parnell is to Marry
Mrs. O'Shea-The War of the Priests.
DUBLIN, Jan. 1.-The United IrelGnd, in
its issue today, says that whether the con-
ference will result in honorable peace or
leave the sections still warning, it is crafty
ing to true mon on both sides to find that ID
is still possible for Messrs. Parnell and
OBrien TO meet cordially when the feelings
of their supporters run so high. The ad-
Journment Of the conference encourages the
hope that there will be satisfactory solu-
ton of the difficulty.
THE LORD MAYOR INSTALLED.
Lord Mayor Meade was installed here to-
day amid scene of considerable excite
ment. Messrs. Sexton and Healy were
roundly Missed by the crowds present, and
mention of Mr.. Parnell's name was cheered
to the echo.
1t is understood here that William
O'Brien has cabled John Dillon, now in New
York, that MIR. Parnell consents to retire il
Mr.. O'Brien is made leader Of the Irish
party. 1t is further understood
that the Boulogne conference ad-
iourned in order TO await Mr.. Dillon's
reply to this cable message. 1t is also re-
ported that Mr.. Dillon is consulting with
several prominent friends of Ireland who
reside in the United States, previous TO
answering the important question put TO
him after the close Of the conference.
The hlsuppressibLe, the organ OF the
MoCarthvite faction Of tho Irish party,
says: "Mr. Parnell wants no vindication
resulting IN the annulment Of the O'SheA
divorce. He intends to marry Mrs. OShea

THE FEUD AT CORK.
CORK, jan. 1.-The feud existing between
the Irish bishops and tho Parnellites, which
has been smoldering since the election in
North Kilkenny, again burst forth fiercely
to-day and most bitter feeling prevails on
both sides. Mayor Horgan, an earnest sup
porter of Mr.. Parnell and one Of the gen
tlemen who is said to have been pro4hinent
in getting up the recent letter to Mr.
O'Brisn, signed by the mayor and Ave
ex-mayora, was installed at the
town hall as mayor of Cork to-day amid a
scene Of intense enthusiasm on the part of
the Rarnellites. Ol the other hand, the
anti-Parnellites were Conspicuous by their
absence" This absence of Mr.. Parnells
opponents did not in any way dampen the
enthusiasm OF the Parnellites, who were
out in strong force, owing. in addition to
the fact that they desired to honor Mr..
HorRAn, to g runner circulated early in
the day that there was trouble brewing for
the Parnel1ite mayor.
NO CEREMONIES AT THE CATHEDRAL.
This trouble manifested itself when ar
rangements were being made during the
morning for the customary installation
ceremony at the Catholic cathedral, which
has always formed part of the days pro-
ceedinRs. The Parnellites were then in
hat llnN aA he
cathedral must be abandoned, as Bishop
O'Callahan refused to receive the
Parnellite mayer. This information was
greeted with indignation by the Parnellites,
who are now convinced that the battle with
the priesthood is only in its early stages,
and that long and desperate struggle for
supremacy between themselves and the
priests may DO looked forward to through
out Ireland if Mr. Parnsll remains at The
cad of his faction of the Irish party.
o'BRIEN ANNOYED
PARIS, Jan. William OBrien is so
annoyed by the false statements made by
the news agency as TO what did and what
did not take place at the conference
between the Irish leaders recently
held at the Hotel du Louvre
at Boulogne-surM Mer, that he has
issued the following statement over his own
signature: "In consequence Of the rumors
concerning my alleged views and I'M
pressions apropos of the conversation held
with Mr.. Parnell at Boulogne, am obliged
to again warn the public against crediting
such statements as they are either pure
conjecture or fabrications.
MRS O'sHEAs WILL.
LONDON, Jan. Denial is given to the
story that Mrs. O'Shea had compromised
her will suit by accepting ESQ, 900, and on
the contrary it is stated that the case will be
begun soon after Easter. It is also denied
that Mr.. Parnell either compiled or wit
messed the will.
