Necessity for United Action Between ths

LONDON, ian. i6.-Timothy Healy has
telegraphed to the Pail Mall Gazette deny
ing that William O'Brien or O'Brien's
father-in-aw, or family, received Barry or
himself in an uncordial manner while in
Paris. Healy says O'Brien's relatives are
not Parnellites or sympathizers with Par
nellism. He adds that Barry and him
self were warmly welcomed and O'Bren is as
determined an opponent of ParnelPs leader
ship as is Heaiy. The Pail Mall Gazette
quotes ParRelPs statement Of Sunday last,
while addressing the meeting at Limerick,
that he was perfectly satisfied with the
length he had Travelled with O'Brien. and
says the conflicting accounts of the BOu-
iogne conference furnished by Parnell and
Healy, both claiming O'Brien, are not sur
prisiug. The Gazette adds: English LIB
erals are impatient and deprecate shilly-
shallylng. OBrien is doing all he can to
destroy English Liberal confidence, and is
himself the greatest obstacle to the success
ful issue of home rule.

HarcOurt writes: IF the Irish people
and Irish members of Plrl ament continue
to maintain toward the English Liberals the
attitude OF friendly cooperation, consulta-
ton, mutual goodwill and hOnorabla conf
dence which existed before Parnell fell,
there Is no reason why they should not,
with entire respect for each others nde-
pendence, work together as hitherto for the
same objects, and with spirit of equal as
surance of ultimate success. Their position
toward US remains the same; our position
toward them is unchanged; weare confident
as ever that the future Of home rule is Sc
cure, and that nothing will happen to de-
stroy that confidence. Demands for separa-
tion means hostility to England not an hon
orable alliance. II the Irish people ratify
such policy, home rule has no chance, and
ought 10 have no chance"
