Irish history just now concentrates in
Cork, where Parnellites and anti Parnell-
ties are skirmishing before the electoral
battle, which will decide whether or not
John +. Redmond will succeed Mr.. Par
nell as representative of that town. The
larger question of leadership is involved
in the struggle, for there is no question
that the success of Mr.. Redmond at Cork
would place him at the head Of the Par
nellite party. Prominent Irishmen have
expressed their willingness to follow the
lead of that gentleman.
Mr.. Redmond is "a young man, genial
and eloquent. He was born in 1856, the
son of gentleman at one time member OF
Parliament for Wexford. Trinity College,
Dublin, numbers him among her alumni.
In 1881 he won a seat in Parliament. Two
years afterwards he made n trip to Aus
tralia in the interests of the Irish party
then unbroken under the leadership of
for the treasury. He married the daughter
of a wealthy Australian. In 1884 he was
present with Thomas Sexton in the Irish
convention held at Boston, and he was in
this country a second time in 1856, when
he attended the Chicago convention of the
Irish National League, in company with
William O'Brien and John Deasey. Mr.
Redmond, then member Of Parliament for
Wexford, was convicted under the Crimes
act in 1888 and imprisoned without hard
labor for five weeks. He is reported to
have declared himself 1.-THE elected leader
of the Parliamentary party" Within
the next few days il will be decided by the
votes of the people Of Cork whether he
will or will not be at the head of the Par
nellite faction.

THE NEWS" BANNER.
Votes Coming in Assorted Lots,
Large and Small.
YOUNG REPUBLICANS AHEAD.

Only Two weeks..Now Remain I'm Which to
Decide the Contest-voting Early and
Often VIII Decide-Fourth Wand and
Johnston Are Tied.
This morning one lean little envelope
lay on the NEWS editorial desk along with
several fat ones. The lean envelope was
opened first. 1t contained one single bal
lot for the NEWS banner contest, and on
that ballot was written, young Repub-
lican Club" Johnston. AS many Titles
make a muckle, and as every little helps,
the Johnston club will certainly win if
each member sends in one vote each day
from now till November 10. when the con-
test closes.
But the Johnston folks aren't confning
themselves TO one vote ballots; not much!
At precisely 9:55 a. m. young man with "a
determined cast of countenance and a big
wad of paper clutched firmly in his right
fist entered the NEWS Office. The votes he
carried placed the Johnston Club well
ahead of the Saturday record of the Young
Republicans of Providence.
But meanwhile the city boys had not
been idle and at that very moment the
ballot clerk was counting II huge wad OF
votes for Providence Young Republicans
That saved the day, but another day is
coming. The Fourth Ward Club went to
third place, but at 80 a. IN. large num-
Der of Fourth Ward votes came in, which
tied the score.
Hereafter the record will be closed at IL
a. M each day.
The Young Mems Republican Club of
Providence is still in the lead, but the
vote for many of the clubs is yet far be-
low what it ought to be, and a determined
and united effort by any of them would
probably place it ahead in q very few
days.
Those who are interested in the leading
clubs send in votes in quantities of from
six to twenty at time. This is the way
TO accomplish results and it is very easy IL
each member will but save his own cou-
pom every day and encourage others to do
likewise

POINTS ON PAWTUCKET
The Sherman BoomIet Fast Hasten
ing to Its Tomblet.
Fifteen AT A MASS MEETING.
The Party Claims 1900 Votes. but It's
Claims Are Laughed at-Another "Mass
Meeting" Talked of Later On,

The Sherman boomlet is quite i'll to-day
although able TO sit up and have its bed
made. It's temperature is falling and its
strength is failing.
A meeting was called for Saturday
night at which report was to be received
Of the progress made in the work OF
smashing the two leading parties. Four
teen wreckers responded, just fifteen less
than put in appearance at the first meet
ing. II was suggested that a sub-commit-
tee should wait upon B'rer Sherman and
confer with him as TO the advisability or
issuing a manifesto, sort of a jabber-
wock appeal TO the Democrats TO desert
their candidate and wall TO the Repubii-
cans TO go back on their first principles.
had anticipated the visit Of the commit
tee and had his circular half written. The
subcommittee went back TO the fold, told
the Others what had been done and then
all adjourned to the sidewalk. That is
just all that the third party has accom-
plished up to date.
The list of names on the nomination pa
pers aggregate 1853, of which number
good many were obtained by persistent
begging on the part of Mr.. Joseph Osfield,
Jr., who asked that for his sake, to please
him, etc, people might affix their names
TO the papers. Mr.. Osfield fixes Mr.. Sher-
mans vote on the first election at from
1900 to 1000 The Republicans and Dem
ocrats say that it will be less than third
of 1900. The White people are not at all
disconnected by the third ticket in the
field, and Carrolls followers are paying
as much attention to Sherman as an ele-
phant would to little yellow dog, bark
ing through picket fence. The Sherman
people will try to hold mass meeting
later in the week.

SUSPENDED FROM THE FORCE.
Sergt. McCusker and PatroIman
Feeley Released From Their Duties.

Seargt Hugh McCusker and Patrolman
James Feeley have been suspended from
the police force pending an investigation
of the charges made by Owen McElroy
who claims that he was seriously assaulted
by the officers i'm his saloon Friday after
noon. Chief Child ordered an investiga-
tion and suspended both men Immediately
on receipt of a report by Capt. Baker of
the Third station.
McElroy's statement, together with
half-a-dozen witnesses to. the affray, has
been considered sufficient TO warrant this
suspension, aud action will be taken inn
mediately to bring the matter before the
Aldermanic committee OF police.
McElroy alleges that an attempt has
been made to induce him 10 withdraw the
charges, and states that he was visited Sun
day morning by an agent of the suspended
officials, who urged him TO withdraw
the complaints. He further stated that
he refused TO consider the proposition, and
claims he was visited by a delegation on
the same errand. McElroy also states
that he was visited by "A brother of McCus-
ker, who asked him TO let the affair drop.
He claims that he informed his visitor
that he had placed the matter in the
hands Of the chief and was told that this
would be useless, as so much political in
fluence could be brought to bear on the
case as To secure the officer.
He further asserts that the statement
made by McCusker that he had been i'm
the tailor shop of Mancini, and had en-
tered the saloon because he saw man
reeling from the place is untrue. Nc
Cusker, he claims, spent several hours in
Simmons barroom on Atwell's Avenue
before entering his place.
Chief Child Is determined 20 get to the
bottom of the affair and will leave no
stone unturned i'm his research.
Ii is probable that the committee will
discuss the affair on "Wednesday after
noon, at which time the officials will be
examined.
