RELAND'S CAUSE.
IL Hill Be Greatly Retarded by The Failure
Of the Negotiations.

NEW YORK, Feb. IA special London
cablegram says: With the collapse of the
bouIoSne negotiations the Home rule ques-
uOn has entered more acrimonious stage.
Though there is not at present complete
record OF the recent negotiations there is no
doupt that ParnelPs exacting demands on
one hand and the pressure of Sir William
harconrt. with some fifty other radicals,
OacEed up by Healy's section on the other
hahq' brought about the collapse by which
the irish party is now left in a state of in
ternecihe warfare.
Current reports credit O'Brien with dis
tlnct leaning to the side of Parnell, while
Dllloh is Sald TO be as strongly opposed to
aIheH leadership rs Sir William Har-
court or Heaiy. Now that the factions are
at war, the American tour will not be re-
suMeu, ana without funds from your side of
the Atlantic, the plan of campaign will be
gravely Imperfect. Whatever money Parnel!
controis VIII be required for electoral con-
tests ana the maintenance of the crusade.
Inc antl-ParnellteS viii also look to their
own necessities for election, and for other
PURPOSES, before considering any other
Clam. Some of them are already experience
ing inconvenience through their stopped
parliamentary wages, and these necessities
are met by contributions from a few Of the
more wealthy GladstOnians who have
undertaken TO help certain members who
relied on tue league funds to meet their
parliamentary expenses. But there is no
margin Tor evicted tenants, ana these Of
course Will feel the pinch more seriously
than anybody else. Smith-Barry's "charac-
terlstic generosity" in reinstating tenants,
II possible, whenever they surrender, is sap
ping the plan of campaign.
ne MeCarthyIteS are establishing q \ a.
ticnal Federation TO compete with Par
nell 5 Old machinery of the league. Parnell,
with his usual energy, has been the first to
draw the sword. He will shortly speak at
Rescommon, and he makes no secret of his
design to throw away his scabbard. In con-
versaton with friends he declared that al
though the next election may perhaps cost
him a loss of half a dozen supporters, he
counts on winning thirty seats. He also
complains that Sexton and Mccarthy have
misrepresen.ed the nature of the assurances,
the worthlessneSs of which lie will expose to
an early meeting of his followers. The
withdrawal Of O'Brien and Dillon into the
comfortable surroundings of first-class
mlsdemeanants' cell may be called good busi-
ness from their point of view. While
the factiOnal storms rage outside they can
occupy themselves not unple asantly for six
months, reappearing in public life when the
c0mbatants become somewhat exhausted.
