A Society Held Responsible for the
Death of One of Its Members.
DEs MONIES Iowa), Feb. 22.-Much in:
terest has been felt here in the investiga-
ton of the death of William Protzeman.
who, it was alleged, died under the Chris
tian Science treatment. Protzeman was
"a years old, and had good health until
December 18th last, when he was attacked
with a cold which finally grew into
typhoid fever.
The jury found that he received no
medical treatment, except "silentprayer;"
that all dietary rules We're disregarded,
and that he was otherwise neglected. The
conclusion of the jury is that Protzeman
came to his death by reason of the prac-
ticing upon him of the teachings of an
association of persons calling themselves
Christian Scientists, and from no other
cause.
The jury further says that in their opin-
ion Protzeman would have lived had
proper medical treatment been given o
him.
1t is expected that arrests will be made
soon.

THE IRISH QUESTION.
Both Factions Preparing for an Active
Campaign.


NEW YORK, Feb. pa Tribune Lon
don special says: Parnell has already
started for Ireland to begin his campaign;
against his opponents. The fight will be
TO the bitter end, and he will be rash
man who ventures to prophesy the re 4
suit.
Additional heat is thrown into the conl
flict by the squabble over the eS,00G
which Mccarthy and Parnell agreed to-
Withdraw from the cash funds in France
for the benefit Of evicted tenants.
The McCarthyites divided their quota
of five thousand pounds to the object
named, while the National League, which
now dances exclusively to ParnelFs
piping, seems to have done little or
nothing for those tenants for whom it
made itself responsible. 1t devoted the
whole, or greater part OF the sum, it is
said, toward paying sln overdraft granted
the League by the Hibernian Bank.
The Healeyite section doubts the pay
ment Of this overdraft, alleging that Par
nell pocketed the whole sum for require
mentS of party warfare. That section is
seeking to put pressure on Parnell
through OBrien, il he can be got at in
prison, to compel Parnell to explain how
the money was expended This result
seems undoubted, that in consequence a
large number of tenants, failing to receive
1uItH5r nelp 1IOin Ile NdtlOudl leaPuc,
fearing that such help viii be intermit-
tent have decided to make terms with
Lord Clanricard.
| The anti-Parnellitesa are at present fear
| full that owing to this squabble over the
ALLEGATION of the eight thousand pounds,
Parnel will consent to nothing more
| being withdrawn from the thirty-SiX
thousand pounds now lying in Paris. 1t
is thought that he can better afford to
| keep this money locked up than his op-
ponents. The latter have consequently
to look for financial help elsewhere.
Some wealthy English Radicals prom
ised to assist them, but these cannot bear
the drain of supporting the evicted ten
ants and maintaining the poorer members
of the Irish Parliamentary party, who
hitherto have been in Parnell's party,
but have now deserted him, therefore it
has been decided to obtain what help
! can be got from rich English Radicals,
| and at once to organize a fund especially
devoted to evicted tenants.
With the last-named object in view,
Abraham Kenny and Flynn are to join
T. P. O'Connor in America, while I. d
Sullivan and Cox will start at once on
| begging mission to Australia. The
will be passed to the Tenants Defense
| Committee, controlled by the Mccarthy
| ties, wholly beyond the reach of Parnell.
The latter dare not oppose these missions
| n favor Of evicted tenants, but he has
certainly no intention TO follow similar
tactics.
Wherever he goes in Ireland he willi
find the priests not only against him, buts
in many cases will discover that they have
prepared way for his rivals. The latter
have been consolidating and the organi-
| zation will shortly launch the Irish Nal
tional Federation as an opponent OF the
old League.
The McCarthyites have mapped out the
country into districts, elaborated a per-
feet system for meeting Parnell at every
point, and to follow him in every town.
