Affairs OF the Party to Be Managed by .
Committee-Talks With Leaders.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 7.--Dr. Thomas O'Reilly,
OF this city, who was q delegate to the
Irish National League convention, is
authority for the statement that the man
agement of Irish affairs will in future
be in the hands of committee of
safety" to consist of five Irish members
OF parliament, who will have charge Of the
movement in the house of commons
and the guidance of Irish affairs in
Great Britain. This step has been
definitely decided upon by the
parliamentary party, says O'Reilly, and
has been privately made known to the
leaders of the Irish movement in this
country. 1t was known at the Chicago
convention, but not made public, tor
obvious reasons.
SR. PAUL, Oct. THE Earl of Fingal, a
member of the English house of lords,
and son of Horace Plunkett, member of
the commons, are in the city looking into
the condition of Irishmen who have emil
grated to this country, for the information
OF the British government. Plunkett, re-
ferrlng to Parnell's death, said that COM
ing at the same time as that of William
Henry Smith, leader of the other side, it
will tend to simplify matters in Irish poll
tics and heal the breach between the two
factions.
LONDON, Oct. Joseph Chamberlain,
when interviewed regarding Parnell's
death. said it might influence the govern
ment to go to the country on the present
legislation, but added it was more likely
that the government would endeavor to
pass an Irish government bill, with fair
prospect that it could be done if the oppo-
sition would adopt fair attitude toward
the measure, but it would be, he thought,
late in 1892 before the measure could be-
come a law.
Justin Mccarthy said it was impossible
to forecast the political effect of the death
of Parnell. Mccarthy added, however,
that he hoped it would lead to complete
reunion of all shades of opinion among
lrishmen in general, and of the Irish par
liamentary party in particular. Certainly,
he said, it will not hinder the progress of
the movement for the self-government of
Ireland. Mccarthy believed all feeling of
hostility between individual members of
the Irish parliamentary party would be
swallowed up and completely disappear in
the feeling of genuine and universal regret
"H4SA was eApeIItHCcu otAoHS 4TlSuIueO
at the death of Parnell.
Three weeks ago." Mccarthy said, 1--WE
tParnell and myself had long friendly
conference at my house at Chelsea, and
we agreed to draw part of the Paris fund
to defray the expenses of registering which
were incurred before the split in the
party. Before the divorce proceedings"
said Mccarthy in conclusion. az was a
warm friend of Parnell, whom I admired
intensely. Parnel consulted me in
regard to the lamentable mani
festo and I used all my efforts
in endeavoring to prevent him from
issuing it to the public. My idea in try
ing to prevent him from so doing was
that the issuance of the manifesto would
make his further leadership of the Irish
party an utter impossibllity"
1t was evident that Mccarthy and the
members of his party were affected by
Parnell's death, and that all feeling OF
luminosity to the great Irish leader had
been sunk beneath food of sorrow at
his sudden and untimely death.
