FRESH COMPLICATION.
The Feeling Between Irish Leaders In
telSifed by a Money Question.

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-The Tribune's
London special says: ParnelI has already
started for Ireland to begin the campaign
against his opponents. The fight will be to
the bitter end. and he will be q rash man
who ventures TO prophesY the result. Addi-
tional heat is thrown into the conflict by the
sQuabble over the eSOO0 which Mccarthy
and Parnell- agreed to withdraw from the
cash funds in France for the benefit of
eVicted tenants.
The McCarthyites devoted their quota,
e5Oe0 to the object named, while the National
League, which now dances exclusively to
ParnelPs piping, seems to have done little
or nothing for those tenants for whom it
made itself resi- onsible. 1t devoted the
whole, or the greater part of the sum it re-
ceived, toward paying an overdrait granted
the league by the Hibernian Bank. b
sERIoUs ACCUSATION.
The Healyite section doubts the payment
OF this ovsrdraft, alleging that Parnell
pocketed the whole sum for the require
mentS OF the party warfare. That section
is seeking to put a pressure on Parnell
through O'Brien, if he can be got at in
prison, to compel Parnell to explain how
the money was expended. The result seems
undoUbted that in consequence large num-

further help from the National League, and

have decided to make terms with Lord
Clanricarde.
FUNDS LOCKED UP.
The Anti-Parnellites are at present fear
full that, owing to this squabble over the
ALLEGATION OF the eS000 Parnell will consent
to nothing more being withdrawn from The
936000 now lying in Paris 1t is Thought
that he can better afford to keep this money
locked up than his opponents. The latter
have consequently to look for financial help
elsewhere. Some wealthy English Radicals
have promised to assist them, but these can
not bear the drain of supporting evicted
tenants and maintaining the poorer members
OF the Irish Parliamentary party, who
hitherto have been in PaTnell's Day, but
have now deserted him. Therefore it has
been decided to obtain what help can be got
from rich English Radicals aud at once to or
ganlze 1und specially devoted to evictcd
tenants.
TO SOLICIT FUNDS.
With the last named object, Abraham
Kenny and Flynn are to join John L. p.
OCOnnOr in America, while L. ID. Sullivan
and Cox will start at once on a begging mis-
sion to Australia. The money collected
through these sources Will be passed to the
Tenants Defense Committee, which is con-
trolled by the Me CarthyiteS aud wholly be-
yond the reach Of Parhell.
Tie latter dare not oppose these missions
in favor of evcted tenants but he has GER
tainly no intention to follow similar tactics
Wherever he goes in Ireland he will find the
priests not only against him, but in many
cases Will discover that they have prepared
the way for his rivals. The latter have been
consolidating. their organizations and will
shortly launch the Irish National Federada-
tiOn as an opponent of the old league. The
McCarthyiteS have mapped out the country
into districts and elaborated a perfect system
for meeting Parnell at every point and TO
follow him in every town.
A FINANCIAL SCANDAL.
The Worlds London special says: Un-
less all signs fail the Irish party will soon be
stepped 10 financial scandal, which will
altogether surpass anything that has trans
pired since Parnell was called into the di-
vofce court. Tim Healy. openly threatened
during. the Kilkenny campaign to expose
rOttenness in the disbursement of the funds
contributed to the cause of Ireland, but Par
nelPs friends retorted that OF the money
distributed among the unpaid Irish MEM
bers of Parliament, for legal or clerical
services, Healy had received as much or
more of it than any of the other members"
