LONDON, March 6.-Parnell's delegates to
America will leave on Sunday. They are
greatly heartened by cable assurance OF
warm and widespread support of their
American co-patriots United Ireland con-
trasts the departure and prospects of O'Con-
nor, Kelly, Redmond and Harrison, with
the partial collapse of the McCarthyite
mission preparations. The MoCarthyites
at first arranged to send Abraham, Kenney
and Flynn to act with O'Connor. Abraham
refused, Kenney and Flynn were superseded
and 7. p. OConnor packed up his traps to
com home. Now single ambassador,
Mr.. Fox, goes to represent the fsil-
ing faction. The frmest English friends
of the McCarthyites are beginning to
against the vieor of the Parnellites. Par
nell has shown his usual skill in the selec-
ton Of his emissaries. All excepting Har-
rison are trusted nationalists, and can up.
peal with confidence based upon past per-
sonal history to Irish America. -
Parnell's speech at Clarkenwell was q
pointed bid for the labor vote. II was also
meant to entioe Davitt, but only stirred up
Davitt's bile. Writing to the Labor World
Davitt predicts that Parnell will not hum
bug workmen denounces him for making
ahypocritical profession of interest in la
Dor, whilst actively fomenting radical
feuds between English ard Irish democra-
cies and accuses him of being ready to
wreck the home rule movement to pave the
way for compact like that of 1885.
Philadelphia papers have been received
here in which Mr.. Burdett- Coutts is named
as defendant in a divorce suit, and frank
illusions are made to parties concerned,
Even the most careless gossipers would not
have associated Burdett Coutts with a
scandal in England, where his character
and mode of life have placed him above
suspicion. The mistakes made bv the
American papers have been as great a
shock to the baroness as to her husband.
The latter tonight writes to the Associated
press to state that this report that there ia
9 probability of his, being implicated in a
divorce suit is absolutely untrue, With
reference to the affair, rs linked with an
other name, it is now known that no pub
licity is probable.
Since the San Francisco fracas, when Mr..
Mackay vindicated his wife's honor, the
other party, instead of prosecuting Mackay
on the spot, has done nothing in the way of
unless inspiring suggestions in
some American and European papers that
Mackay assaulted him from behind,
London solicitors, in prosecuting
Anelo-French papers for libel. believe they
have hit upon the origin of the Indictment |
TO the libellous article, and it will add ad- |
aitional interest to the proceedings. Proof |
Is produced connecting the San Francisco
incident with the press attacks in Paris.
The work of taking the census of the
British empire begun Thursday IN India.
Il is expected to show 2s0,OOO,OOO inhabi.
ants in India, against 254,OOO,OOO In 1881.
The British isles will be taken month
lence, and it is estimated that the popu-
alton will show an increase of Is per cent.
Lord Lytton has come from Paris to have
| conference with Lord Salisbury on possi-
'le issues arising from the Empress Fred
'rick's visit to Paris. He does not fear
hat the relations between France and
Germany will be seriously strained He
acitly blames the empress for imprudence.
