LONDON, Nov. s-The events of the past
few weeks in Ireland. coupled with the
news from Limerick to-day. have set En-
glishmen TO wondering whether Ireland 10

the riots preceding the election In Cork
would end the disturbances, but a dis
patch was received from Limerick this
evening stating that that city to-day was
the scene of q fierce conflict, in which
forty soldiers and mob of people
were engaged. Four soldiers were seri-
ously wounded with knives. Six Civilians
were arrested. While the result of the
Cork election has caused some satisfaction
in Liberal circles the prevalent feeling in
regard to the exhibition of the past two
weeks is one of extreme depression. and to-
days incident will not tighten il. Mr..
Gladstone himself is said, on the authority
of men usually acquainted with his senti-
ments. TO be plunged in deep anxiety. The
details of the Cork encounters have been
published with no lack of vivid description
by the Tory press and have created general
disgust throughout England. Tory
speakers and writers ask whether
it would be just to abandon
loyal Irishmen to the mercy of people
such as those who battered each other with
blackthorns at Cork. At Conservative
meeting at Oswald Twhistle, on Saturday,
Home Secretary Matthews said that the
recent occurrences In Ireland stamped
home rule as an impossibility. and that no
sensible Englishman could avoid coming to

tat BoULoGNE CONFERENCE.
Timothy Harrington. in IN interview at
Dublin tonight. said that he had Just come
into possession Of the original copies of
Mr.. Parnelps data of the late leaders par
leyings with the representative of the
Mccarthy faction ut Boulogne. These
Mr.. Harrington said he would
cause to be published tomorrow.
He added that the documents
would prove very unpleasant reading for
Mr.. OBrien and his Liberal friends and
monds statements of what occurred at
Boulogne, which they had made from men,
DRY. Mr.. OBrien. Mr.. Harrington declared,
had wlifulIy suppressed letters which would
vindicate Mr.. ParnelPs motives and explain
his position. The originals would show
that Mr.. Parnelis object was to obtain
such assurances from the Liberal leaders
as would render 1t impossib bic for them to
backslIde from home rule. Mr.. O'Brien
really represented the Liberals in the
conference, and informed them from time
to time of the progress of his
treatlngs with Mr.. Parnell. The final fail
ure OF the conference was not cue 10 the
obstinacy of Mr.. Parnell, hut the refusal OF
Mr.. Gladstone and colleagues 10 give any
assurance of their adherence to former
pledges.
Mr.. Gladstone's letter TO Mr.. Goschen
denying any connection with the confer
ence was Mr.. Harrington said, like most OF
the Liberal leaders utterances, difficult TO
understand. The statement was certainly
inaccurate that it was expressly arranged
that in the event of the failure of the con-
ference the Liberals might De at liberty to

ings The contest was ght upon greatly
unequal terms. Not a daily paper In Cork
supported Mr. Redmond while Dillon and
O'Brien, fresh from Jail, exerted great
influence with their faction. The
Parnellites were not frightened ut the ma
jority against them in Cork. On the cons
trary. they were greatly encouraged by the
fact that two thousand voters had shown
that they were not afraid TO give open ad-
herence to their principles In spite Of the
undue influences and brutal violence prsc-
ticed throughout the contest by the Nc
CaTthyites.
Mr. John i. Redmond, the defeated lar
nellite candidate, took his departure from
Cork tonight. He was escorted 10 the
railway station by a large gathering Of hIs
adherents bearing torches aud headed by
bands of music. Before taking his seat in
the train Mr.. Redmond was presented with
az address by the members of an organiza-
tion known as Young Ireland" composed
of young men who have inst attained the
