New YORK, March 19.-Messrs
OKelly, Redmond and Harrison, the
agents of Mr.. Parnell, and who arrived
here last Sunday, tonight addressed
their initial meeting to raise money
for Mr.. Parnell and his followers.
About $500 to 5000 persons sat in the
body of the hall of Cooper union and
listened. On the stage sat the most
notable men at the meeting, of whom
Michael Breslin, who presided, was the
most prominent John DevOy, too,
sat upon the platform. When Dillon
and O'Brien opened their campaign for
funds last fall in the Metropolitan
opera house, Joseph j. O'Donohue. the
prominent coffee merchant, was among
their adherents and sponsors upon the
stage. So was John d. Grim
Minis, the wealthy contractor, Eugene
Kelly, the banker. and c. C. Shayne,
the fur merchant. None of these were
present at the meeting tonight in be-
half of Mr.. Parnell and his ENJOYS.
Early arrangements for the meeting of
tonight contemplated overflow meet
ings outside the hall, but there were no
outside platforms nor any speaking eX-
cept inside the hall, where all who came
were accommodated. There was an adj
mission fee OF 80 cents charged at the
doors TO those who attended the meet
ing, and from this source probably
$1,000 or S1.500 was obtained. After
Michael BreSlin had commanded order
in the meeting he introduced j. j.
O'Kelly, and when he arose to speak
there were cheers. Mr.. O'Kelly attrib-
uted the necessity of his appeal for
money IN the United States to the fact
that Mr.. ParneIl's dispute with the
Irish party in parliament and the conse-
quent tying up of 100000
Emergency Fund
on deposit in Paris. 1t was to raise and
place at. Mr.. Parnell's disposition ike
fund that the speaker and his compan--
ions had come to this country. He adj
iured his hearers to contribute if they
wished an independent Irish party and
parliament. SAID the speaker, refer
ring to the Irish party diff erences:
when this question comes to be set
tlep in Ireland some facts not known by
the public will be developed, and | do
not fear that the people will reject Par
nell and his associates. What has Par
nell done? "A voice. nothing more than
any other man would have dOne.'') MIR.
O'Kelly answered his question, how
ever, by referring to ''Parnell's great
generalship" and its results. II. X. Red
mOnd next spoke. At the outset he
said: Il was told when | came here to
prepare for the cold shoulder from some
of my countrymen, and then
added: Il guess we can get on without
those people While Mr.. Redmond
was speaking, Della Parnell, the Irish
cheered warmly. Mention of Healy
and McCarthy's names by Mr.. Redmond
drew chorus of Kisses and cries of
Judas Resolutions indOrSing Mr..
Parnell were unanimously adopted. Mr..
Harrison was indisposed, but spoke
briefly. An appeal was made for funds.
and Branch No. of the Irish National
league turned over the $500 in its treas
ury. Other subscriptions we're an
nOunced, though the meeting was not
assured as to the certainty OF such Obli-
cations being discharged upon call.
Seven baskets were passed about among
the people present, inviting them to
contribute. The cash result was with
held from the meeting. Mr.. O'Connor
spoke briefly, and was followed by Mrs.
Parnell in remarks reminding the audi
ence Of the urgency of aid for Mr.. Par
nell.
Subsequently the statement was made
that the collections of the evening were
81. 23S, of which 81. 430 were collected for
admissions. At the Dillon and o. Brien
initial meeting here the su m of S30,0G0
