DUBLIN, Nov. 4. -Dispatches from
Waterford, where the convention of the
National federation Is being held, say
that great excitement prevails there.
The streets are crowded with uproari-
Gus mObs OF people ready for any kind
of a disturbance. The police, in their
efforts to control the mob, have been
making free use of their bat0nS, with
the result that several civilians have
been injured.
Tim Healy, who was horsewhipped
yesterday, was one of the speakers. He
said, among other things, that he would
not be deferred by violence from pursu-
ing the course lie had mapped out for
himself, and repeated the language in
reference to the widow of the Irish
leader which he used at Longford Sun
day last, and which led to the chaStiSe-
ment he received at the hands of Mr..
McDermott. Mr.. Dillon was received
with mingled cheers and Kisses. Three
hundred police guarded the confedera-
ton delegates on their way to the con-
VentiOn, and repealed repeated charges
made by the mob. The Parnelrite SYM
pathiZerS tried to rush through the en-
trance Of the city hall, but were beaten
back.
In the convention Mr.. Dillon confirmed
Mr.. O'Brien's Boulogne revelations, and
added that the men now calling him
traitor had telegraphed to him while he
was in New York Offering him the
leadership in succession to Mr.. Parnell.
He said that in spite of the continuous
caiumnies heaped upon him he had
never before revealed this fact. MeSSrS.
Harrington and Redmond and other
prominent arnelliteS had Joined in the
hi on oil oFf, 10
declared against the leadership of Mr..
Parnell. He refused the leadership be-
cause it was painful and difficult posi-
tiOn-a position which he had never
sought or wished, and one which he
would be slow to accept. After
arriving at B0ulogne he told them that
he could not accept the position
unless ali cOncurred in promising
loyal support. These men. one and all,
promised that if he (Diilon1 took the
craftsmanship they would be his loyal
followers. He had done nothing since
that altered his position hairsbreadtll.
For weeks at BOulogne they were as
anxious to get Mr.. Parnell out of the
leadership as the majority were. If they
had steadily adhered to that policy thew
might have saved Mr.. Parnell from an
impossible position. If any one was re-
SpOnsible for Mr.. Parnell'S fate after
Mr.. Parnell himself, it was the men
who, when the supreme hour came, had
not sufficient courage, manliness Or
honorable friendship to take a firm
stand and impose their judgment on the
dead leader
Mir. Dillon left the convention hall on
his way to the railway station accom-
panied by police and priests. A mob
followed and kept up a continuous at
tack until he obtained shelter in the sta
ton. A number of skulls were cracked.
Thirty delegates, while crossing a toll
bridge, were thrown TO the ground and
trampled upon, many being badly hurt
and bleeding profusely when rescued
by the police. Several thousand Par
nellIteS held the approaches to the con-
ventiOn hall, and everywhere struck
down opponents. The whole quay. a
mile in length, was the scene of savage
fighting. Many persons were taken to
the hospital.
The convention is attended by many
priests, and several of these offered to
assist the police in beating off the Par
nellite assailants. The police. how
ever, declined any aid, although they
have applied for reinforcemenJS. The
police fought at great disadvantage i'm
the riot to-day, owing to the number of
women in the crowd, with wnOm the
officers did not care to deal too Vigor-
Ously. One woman laid about her in
Sucn vigorous way as to put two con-
stables hOrS du combat. 1t took three
others to bear her, kicking and scream
ing, prisoner from the melee, her
screams being every now and then
mixed with yellS of "murdererS,"
TRAITORS" and other epithetS intended
for the McCarthyiteS. But for the po-
lice it is most certain that the conven-
ton would have been overwhelmed by
raging mob, bent upon humiliation.
A number of ParnelliteS have gone
from Dublin to the scene, and there is
reason to apprehend more trouble be-
fore the convention completes its SEES
sion.
Dr.. Kenny and John Joseph Clancy,
NJ. p, both join III denouncing William
O'Brien for revealing confidential docu-
mentS relating to the BOulOgne confer
ence. They declare that O'Brien pur-
poSely suppressed the fact that he had
agreed that Parnell should have the
power to veto Irish support of any
home rule bill proposed in parlia-
ment, and the same power over
all important legislation proposed
by the Liberals in Ireland. They saw
that nobody supposed that Parnell;s re-
tirement would be permanent. Or even
lengthy. harrington and William Red
mond confirm the statement of Kenney
and Clancy regarding the proposed
power of veto to be bestowed on Par
nell.
1t is estimated that $50 persons were
seriously and many others dangerously
Injured during &he fighting at Water
ford to-day. The mayor presided at a
meeting held here to-day for the pur-
pose of censuring John Dillon for his
