LONDON, Jan. 1.-The English papers
are discussing Patrick For2l's reply to
William O'Brien, as it appears in the Irish
World, and are agreed that the latter has
decidedly the worst of it in the dispute.
The Globe says: "O'Brien's confusion of
mind simply means that he is trying to look
in two different ways with two different
faces, one for the Gladstonist, who likes only
verbal explosives, and the other for Ford's
clients. who find dollars on their faith of
promised explosions that are not to be
merely verbal. Unluckily the smooth face
meant for Ford has caught the eyes of the
English critics. and the angry face meant
only for the mere Gladstonist has caught the
eve of Ford.
"This is unlucky for O'Brien, but it is ex-
ceedinglv lucky for ali the persons interested
in the exposure of sham enthusiasm, mock
indignation and real hypocrisy"
The Feud Bursts Forth Again.
A dispatch from Cork says: The feud
existing between the Archbishops and the
Parnellites, which has been slumbering
since the election in North Kilkenny. burst
forth fiercely to-day, and the most bitter feel
ing prevails on both sides. Mayor Horgan, an
earnest supporter of Parnell, and one of the
gentlemen who Is said to have been prominent

signed by the Mayor and five ex-Mayors, was
installed at the town hall as Mayor of Cork to-
day amid scene of intense enthusiasm on the
part of the Parnellites
On the other hand the anti-Parnellites were
conspicuous by their absence. This absence of
FNrnelrs opponents from the installation cere-
monies did not in any way tend to dampen the
enthusiasm of the Parnellites. who were out in
n,yl in nd fn hn
that they designed to honor Horgan, to a
rumor circulated early in the day that there
was trouble brewing for the Parnellite Mayor.
Refused Entrance to the Church.
This trouble manifested itself when the ar
rangements were being made during the morn
ing for the customary installation ceremony at
the Catholic Cathedral, which has always
formed part of the days proceedings. The
Parnellites were then informed, first by rumor
and afterward as positive fact, that the in
stallation ceremonies at the cathedral must be
abandoned, as the Bishop. the Ri. Rev I. A.
O'Callahan. d. D., refused to receive the Par
nellite Mayor.
This information was greeted with many
signs of extreme indignation by the Parnellites.
who are,now convinced that the battle with
the priesthood is only In its early stages. and
that long and desperate struggle for suprem-
acy between themselves and the priests can be
looked forward to throughout Ireland, if Par
nell remains at the head of his faction of the
Aiisu party
Parnen Willing to Retire.
1t is understood in Dublin that William
O'Brien has cabled John Dillon, now in New
York, that Parnell consents to retire if MIR.
O'Brien is made leader of the Irish party 1t is

to this cable message. 1t is also reported that

friends of Ireland who reside in the United
States, previous TO answering the important
question put to him after the close of the con-
ference.
The Insuppressible, the organ of the Nc
Carthyite faction of the Irish party, says: "Mr.
Parnell wants no vlndication resulting in the
annulment of the O'Shea divorce. He intends
to marry Mrs. O'Shea when the divorce is made
absolute"
Lord Mayor Meade was installed in Dublin

ment Sexton and Healy were roundly Missed
