NEW Okh, Jan. lU.--A ITTONnC LOn-
don special says: The two factions of the
unionist party continue their negotia-
lions. Mccarthy and Sexton are now
travelling TO Boulogne, probably to re-
ceive O'Brien's final decision. Mean
time, though nothing is known officially,
there is enough to justify the belief that
OBricn joined his co-delegates in de-
nouncing Parnel1, but he could not escape
his personal responsibility toward the
starving people in Tipperary. O'Brien
was so deeply committed TO Smith Barry's
old tenants that the parties have ar
rived at an approximate agreement in
this, as in most other questions. Money
proved a most powerful factor in the sit
uation. When in America he felt bound
to negotiate with Parnell, provided the
latter would adopt two courses: first, to
retire, if only for a season. second, to
give O'Brien all the control Parnell pos
sessed over the funds at his disposal, in
order that New Tipperary might be saved
from starvation or from capitulation to
Smith Barry's agents.
1t is understood that O'Brien shall
bring about, ii possible, the resignation
of Mccarthy, and himself assume the
leadership. Mccarthy is not at all I'M
willing to lay down after brief reign his
much divided authority. He has a stom-
ach for graphing with Sexton, Healy
and other members of the party who
compose such q difficult team to control.
The public have yet to learn whether the
bulk of the party viii recognize McCar-
thy's withdrawal in favor Of O'Brien,
even il the latter is content to share his
authority with q committee of eight 9TH
ers.
Healy is bitterly opposed to any sort of
compromise or arrangement with Par
nell. Healy is not alone in this attitude.
Dillon's journey to France is understood
to be part of an arrangement by which
he shall act as Mr. O'Brien's toclcl1 teYe,es
while the latter is in Jail. Dillon himself
cannot appear at Westminster, because
he, too, win be arrested to serve his term,
but he could live in Boulogne and exer-
else all the control he could from that
place. A settlement of this kind is be-
lleved to have been formulated. Parnell's
motive for retiring may possibly be ex-
planned at the Limerick meeting to-mor-
row.
A LETTER FROM GLADSTONE.
LONDON Jan. 10.-Gladstone has written
letter to Furness, Liberal candidate for
Hartlepool, to succeed the late Thomas
Richardson. Gladstone says: ''The Irish
Parliamentary party vindicated itself by
putting an end to the leadership of Par
nell and has left US prepared to pursue, as
heretofore, our duty in denouncing the
unequal laws and odious system of CO.
ercion adopted by the Government as a
permanent law. The Liberal gains of
seats in the Commons, constantly re-
peated during the last four years, mean
much more than success. They mean
that the party has declared that union has
for the first time been effected between
the British and Irish, and shows that the
people mean to close the controversy our
opponents seek to indefinitely prOlong
at the cost OF national reputation, Of
imperial treasury and amid inextinguish-
able discord. The people of Ireland have
put their trust in the people of Great
Britain to deliver them from bat; Laws,
made worse by harsh and insulting adj
mlnistratlon. 1t rests on each constitu-
ency, as the occasion offers, for us to
show our sister nation that her confidence
is not reposed in vain"
PARNELL EN- ROUTE TO LIMERICK.
DUBLIN, Jan. 10.-Parneil, accompanied
by several trusted lieutenants, has ar
rived here on his way to Limerick, where,
tomorrow, he is expected to make one
OF the most memorable addresses in the
history of Irish politics. Over a dozen
people to Limerick. Strong detachments
of police are being sent there in anticipa-
ton of disturbance.
PARNELL SATISFIED WITH THE CON-
FERENCE.
DUBLIN, Jan. 10.-The Telegraph says:
Hooper, who attended the conference at
Boulogne, telegraphs to the effect that it
is freely stated that O'Brien will abso-
lutely adhere to Parnell, and the Nc
Carthyites will have to fight O'Brien
Parnell went to Limerick to-day, and at
most OF the stopping places was greeted
by friendly deputations. At one point
partisans had tight, but it was not very
serious.
In speech at Limerick Junction Par
nell said he had heard cheers for O'Brien.
He would also call for cheers for O'Brien,
and long might he live to sootl1e the ami
mosities, and, if possible, restore the
Union to their ranks.
At Limerick Parnen received most
enthusiastic demonstration. In speech,
while he could not say what length he
and o. 'Brien Travelled together at Boulogne
he might tell them without breach of con-
fidence that he himself was perfectly
satisfied with the result of the conference.
