tBY CABLE TO THE DIsPArcHI

CORK, March S-William John Lane
and Maurice Healy, members of Parlia-
ment rom Cork, arrived at Middleton to-day
and were met by the town commissioners.
On making their appearance outside the
railway station they were loudly hissed by
a great crowd of ParnellItes. The reception
they had was OF a most forbidding character.
The Middleton Brass Band, which was at
the station when the train arrived, refused
to play before them in their progress into
the town A sign of the height to which
public feeling has gone in Middleton is
given in the action of some lumber mer-
chants in the town, who refused to furnish
planks that were necessary for the construc-
tion of a platform at The auti-Parnellite
meeting, ard the timber was finally pro-
cured at a town six miles distant
The meeting, however WAS a success,
being attended by contingents from every
parish in Cork, headed by priests. Canon
Keller supported the meeting, and Lane and
Healy secured hearty reception. 1t was
announced that Canon Keller would sooa
start for America on behalf of evicted
tenants.
Certain of Financial Success.
James J. O'Kellv, John o. 'Connor, Henry
delegates to America, left the Etruria when
she got into Queenstown harbor They were
seen by Dunlap representative, by whom
they readily consented to be interviewed,
aud in reply to whose questions thew said:
1--WE have not made any arrangements with
regard to our tour in the United States.
Such will, however, be made Immediately
after our arrival in New York. We are
most sanguine of the success of our mission
-t,4 h. all
the Irish in America will deal literally
with US when we have explained 10 them
the true situation of affairs.
Addresses from the followers of Parnell
il Cork. Passage, Middleton and Queens
town were presented to the departing menu
berS, in the presence of about 400 people.
Mr.. Harrison. in the course OF his reply, said
they were going TO carry the bill made in
committee room No. Is of the House of Com
mons TO the Irish people all over the world,
and would ask the American people if the
honor OF Ireland was to be prostituted for
political expedience.
Will Not Repudate Parnen.
Mr.. Redmond thanked the people for
their sympathy and support. He had been
10 America many times before, when he
went as an independent Irish Nationalist,
not as a Gladstonian. 1--WE have been told"
he continued, Eve must put Mr.. Parnell
away. TCries of "No No. l am pre-
pared to put Mr.. Parnell away on one con-
dIlion-that is when Mr. Parnell is a traitor
to the Irish cause. But Mr.. Parnell has
never been a traitor to the Irish cause. He
never raised lis voice but to plead fer the
vndicatOn of the rights of tie Irish peo-
pie"
The Parnellite crowd met with hostile
reception from the anti-Parnellites. The
disorder eliminated in the Parnel liteS at
tacking their opponents with blackthorns.
The police intervened, and the Parnellites
were finally enabled to present their ad-
dresses. During the speeches some of the
McCarthyites hssed and one of the dis
turbcrs named John Kelly had his head
struck and broken by jealous Parnellite
with j blacktho.n stick. There were sew
eral free fights, and many people were
thrown into the water But tor the large
force of constahulary present, serious conse-
Quences would doubtless have ensued.
A steamer with 400 followers OF Parnell
accompanied the Etrura for some distance
out of the harhor. There were bands on
board, which played national airs.
ParneIPs Talk on Labor.
At Dublin to-day, in renly to addresses
from lj branches OF the National League,
councils and other organizations, ParnelI |
dwelt on the significance of the presence of
deputsuOns "from districts where every
dastardly means had been employed to |
stf1e public opinion" Mr.. Parneil said |
that owing to the comparative absence of |
industries in ireland, Irishmen were pre-
cluded from part in the great labor move |
neut, but coEid join hands with the British |
workmen TO secure needed legislation, and |
thus show the brotherhood OF Nations, - as |
regarded the working classes.
