CORK, October 27.-MeSsrs. William
O'Brien and John Dillon arrived here
to-day. The two distinguished mem
bers of Parliament were met by depu-
tatiOn composed Of members OF the Ma
tionsl Federation, representatives Of the
Gaelic Club, the municipal officers and
large number of others. Many peO-
pie lined the route followed by the pro-
cessiOn which followed Messrs. O'Brien
and Dillon from the railroad station.
The procession was headed by a brass
band and was escorted by a strong de-
tachment Of police.
The reception accorded to the two
members OF Parliament may, on the
whole, be said to be of mixed nature.
There was no disturbance OF the peace.
Mr.. O'Brien, during the press at the
Assembly rooms, said that he was will
ing to give fair play to his opponents,
but added he would not yield 20 "brick-
bats and dynamite bombs, remark
which was received with considerable
loud applause. Continuing, Mr.. O'Brien
said that they, the Parnellites, m ght
blow up the Office OF the newspaper
representing the views OF the McCaT-
not destroy the spirit which animates
party" Tremendous applause, min
gled with some hOOting
At another part Of his discourse Mr..
O'Brien, amid cheers, called upon Mr.
John Z. Redmond, the Parnellite can
didate for Cork and the new leader of
the ParnelliteS, to repudiate all re-
SDonSibility for the violence noted in
connection with the dynamite incident,
last night, in Dublin.
After the Cork county convention had
adjourned, there was a serious fight in
the streets Of this city between the Nc
CarthyiteS and the ParnelliteS. As soon
the convention had closed its proceed
in0S NeSsrS. Dillon aud O'Brien passed
through the city, still accompanied by
the procession which met them at the
railroad station.
As the procession passed through the
streets there was considerable kissing
and several stones crashed through the
large portrait Of VIM. O'Brien, which
was carried in the parade. Upon ar
irving at the assembly rooms, MesSrS.
Dillon and O'Brien were given an en-
thusiastic reception, during which sew
eral warmly applauded speeches were
made.
While the speech making was in
progress a body Of ParnelIites attacked
the bandsmen q the McCarthyites and
tried to demOliSh their instruments, now
q favorite proceeding upon the part OF
the cOntending factions. Suddenly the
McCarthyiteS were attacked by a large
mob of Parnellites, and both sides
fought desperately with sticks, clubs,
ShOyelS and picks.
A detachment Of mounted police was
sent for and they spurred their horses
in between the two lines Of cOmbatants
striking right and left with the fat OF
their sabres amid showers Of stones and
bricks. A large number of wounded
were stretched bleeding and grooming
I'm the streets before the troops restored
order.
The neighboring hospitals had to find
accommodation for many wounded per-
sons by the time hOStlities were SuS-
pended. There is great excitement
everywhere in Cork this evening. The
antagonistic groups il is feared, will re-
assemble and there is danger that the
battle between them will be resumed.
This evening troops have formed in
the square for the protection OF the open
air meeting which is to be addressed by
NeSsrS. Dillon ana O'Brien.
