A Version of the Parnen and o'Brien
Conference.
NEW YORK, Januery 2d-The Journals
London special says: 1t is stated on the
authority of a close friend that the follow.
ing is the correct version of what took
place at the conference between Parnell
and O'Brien at Boulogne: Parnell assured
O'Brien that if the latter would take the
leadership in spirit friendly to Parneli
the Government would be Squared" so
that o Brien would not be forced to serve
his term of imprisonment, but. would be
free TO return to England or Ireland, and
Parnell would retire from the nominal
leadership until the general elections,
when, with o Brien's aid he would sweep
the country and ride into power again, in a
position of absolute Independence, and sit
uated SO as to hold the balance of power in
Parliament with the Irish party and force
from either the Tories OF Liberals a full
home-ruie programme. The fact that Par
nell feels able to promise immu unity 10
OBrien from Conservative moiestation
gives color to the supposition of his au
thority with reference 10 his own party
and that he will again make an alliance
with the Conservatives and wreak his re-
venge upon the Liberals for attempting to
ruin his political prospects. Well informed
Irish members declare, however, that
should Mr.. O'Brien consent to this scheme
for the retirement of Psrnell, which they
do not believe will be case, the rest of the
programme as outlined above will not be
carried through without bitter struggle.
DILLON RETIoENT.
New YORK, January 2d-Lste last night
John Dillon was seen concerning the Dub
lin cablegram in which it was stated that
0pRricn hoa cd d. III
would retire If o Brien was made leader of
the Irish party. Dillon said as far as he
knew nothing definite had been accom-
piished and as his dispatches were conf
dental he must refuse TO divuIge their
contents.
CONFERENCE AT DUBLIN
DUBLIN, January 2d-Parnell has ar
rived in this city and is holding a lorg
conference with Timothy D. Harrington
and DR.. Joseph Kenny. 1t is understood
the conference between Parnell and
O'brien will be resumed on Tuesday next.
HOME RULE DEFUNcr
LONDON, January 2i.-The Daily Tele-
graph CONSERVATIVE to-day invites the fol-
lowers of Gladstone to recognize the mani.
testify distasteful fact that Home Rule for
Ireland is defunct. The present policy of
the Liberal party, the Telegraph thinks, is
certain to give way to a different pro-
gramme, while the party itself will at some
time have to make new combinations.
AFTER next election" says the telegraph,
Home Rule will be barely represented in
Parliament and will sink to the level of the
radical fads of socialism, total abstinence
and characterization craze
The same paper further urges the Glad
stonians to disregard the vain imaginiugs
and return to ancient ways of Liberalism
and advocates the rearranging of Parlia-
mentary groups into great national party
on one side of the House Commons, and
on the other minority ofrestless, powerless
Irish separatists, and English socialists.
