Cork, Nov. 6.-The question Of succession
the city of Cork made vacant by the death
Of Charles Stewart Parnell was settled to-day.
The Parnelite candidate was Dir. John L.
Redmond. while Mr. Martin Flsvin stood for
the McCsrthyits interest. To-day's work
was opened with vigor, 1900 votes being cast
in the first hour. The streets were full Of
noise, but the crowds of people were fairly
well-behayed. Nevertheless. the accustomed
blackthorn peeped out from beneath many a
coat-tail. and there we're not wanting evil
dences that many hundreds OF the throng
who patrolled the streets we're anything but
ayerse 10 an exchange of blows
Priests and members of Parliament and
candidates for political honors necessarily
drove from booth to booth encouraging their
fellows and looking after the interests of their
respective factions. As the leaders rushed
from place to place behind gesticulating
drivers and flying horses they were greeted
with commingled cheers and groans. After
each stop and before each fresh start some
five or ten minutes was wasted IN remon-
strating with voice, fist and whip against the
attempts of oil the way from three to a dozen
persons who wished to get up on the convey
ance and ride along to the next station.
TROOPS SUMMONED TO KEEP ORDER.
As the day wore on matters became more
lively and consequently more interesting
There were several exciting scenes in North
west Cork, where the continued squabbling
going on between the priests and the Parneil-
ties were tho main features Of the attraction.
Some idea OF the manner in which the Nc
Calthyite line of operations was carried on
can be gathered from the fact that over
twenty priests we're stationed about the poll
ing booths in that the Northwest section OF
Cork. and they untringly watched the voters
and paid most particular attention to instruct
ing many Of them before they entered the
booth.
1t was noticed early in the day that cloud
of trouble was lowering over that district.
The police were the first TO take the alarm.
They heard the rumblng Of coming storm
and 80 informed police headquarters.
The chief of police. upon receiving the
alarming information. held consultation
with his Lieutenant and then placed himself
in communication with the military COM
mander of the district. Shortly sfterward
there was movement Of troops and people
were cheered by the sisht of strong de-
tachment of infantry, the ffers and drum
mers playing.
The British Grenadiers marched TO the
troubled district. Upon arrival there the
officer in charge of the detachment surround
ed the polling booth. drove back the disor-
derly element and posted his men SO that they
were ready 70 protect voters en- route to the
polling booth.
THE ASTI-PARNELLlTEs WIN.
Iater-The election passed off quietly,
thanAs to tie precautions sAken by the
authorities. The count will not take place
until tomorrow but 1t IS admitted that the
majority for Flavin, antiParnellite is GER
tainly 900 and probably 1.5OO. Mr. Red
mond, the Parnellite candidate admits defeat
and attributes il 10 clerical intimidation.
LONDON, Nov 6.-The st. James Gazette
to-day says that the Liberals are greatly exer-
osed over the question of the successor to
the party leadership on the retirement of Mr.
Gladstone So bad is the condition Of Sir
William Vernon HarcoBrt's eyes that the
sight of one is lost. while the other is threat
ened. 1t is not thought he can become the
successor 20 Mr.. Gladstone or leader OF his
party in Parliament.
The secretary of the Irish Home Rule
League has written a letter 10 the press stat
ing that the League is anti-Parnellite IN its
sympathies, and that it intends 10 issue man.
ifesto 10 that effect. In Northwest Cork over
twenty priests have been stationed about the
polling booths all day. One-third Of the
voters of the contested constituency live in
that section and a majority OF them are Nc
Carthyites. Several rows occurred during
the day. and finally the police arrived upon
the scene, and they, together with detach-
ment of infantry drove back the Mccarthy
ties who were responsible Tor the disorder
