PARNEIL PREPARING FOR A cAMFAIGS.
No great Roadway has been made daring she
week IN the question of the leadership Of the
Irish party. The Parnellites are ominously
quiet. The MeCarthyites are in the fore with
meetings and preparing for war. Boginuing in
ireland tomorrow Mr.. Parnell will endeavor to
inspire his friends with the hope that he viii
get triumph. More recent accounts received
from Ireland do not support his claim, but
rather Indicate decline Of strength. The Ne
oarthyites are certainly advancing in prepara-
ton for the campaign. They will have the sys-
tematic support Of the priests. who are unre-
lenting In deuouncipg Mr.. parnen.
Both sections are now regretful that ques-
ton has been raised to how the fund OF
5000 handed to hessrs. 0'Brien and Harring-
ton was used, but being raised both sections
are determined to make a statement oR the
subject The Parnellites rely or Mr. q Brien
TO clear them of their charge of unwarrantable
use of the money, but doubling whether Mr.

troyersy in his prison cell The conservatives
are jubilant over the squabble and the pre-
hniinary DIRT throwing of the campaign. of
which the new Parnellite cry of English gold
Is an instance. In spite of Mr.. McCarthy's
denial of monetary aid from the liberals the
Parnelltes appear TO rely upon English gold
as their chief lever. 1t was the sing-song of
yesterday meeting in Dublin, where a formal
resolution was adopted which alluded to money
promised by English radicals and liberals to
English seceders. Though Mr.. Mccarthy was
accurate in saying his party received no money
from the liberals several wealthy liberals are
ready TO provide them with money. Mr.. Par
nell Will rely IN future upon subscriptions from
the people and money from America, for which
the Metarthyites viii also compete.
The SUPPOSED wHITECHAREL MURDERER.
The developments in the case of Sadler. who
is charged with the recent Whitechapel murder
are followed with intense eagerness, since
growing series of links point TO him as Jack
the Ripper" At the outset of the inquiry into

mlscreant seemed TO be destroyed by proof
that he was at sea when all the previous crimes
were committed, but officers deputed hy tie
treasury to track Sadler's past found that when
at sea, according to the ships books he was
seen in Whitechapel. Laborions researches
continue. yielding suggestive statements from
Sadlcr's wife and mother, who concur that his
temperament is akin TO homicidal in nature
There is family record of insanity. The wife
said that her husband was subject TO fits Of
maniacal fury and tina. more than once he had
stood over her with knife.
RUMoRs AS TO THE kAIsERs HEALTH.
