 CoRK's MAYOR INSTALLED.
 CORK, January The fegd existing be tween the Irish bishops and the Parnell- ltes, when has been smouldering since the election in North Kilkenny, again burst forth hercely to-day and the most bitter feeling prevails on both sides Mayor o'gan, an earnest supporter of MT Par
 
 to have been promiren ent in getting up the recent letter to Mir O'Brien, signed by the Mayor and five ex-Mayors, was in stalled at the Town Hall as Mayor of Cork today, amid ascene of intense enthusiasm on the part of the Parnelltes. On the other hand, the anti Parnellites were con spicuous by their absence.
 This absence of MT. Parnell's opponents from the installation ceremonies did not ia any way tend to odampen the enthusiasm ot the Parnelites, who were out in strong force, owing, in addition to tho fact tha, they designed to honor MT. Morgan, that ramor was circulated early in the day that there was trouble brewing for the Par. nellite Mayor. This trouble manifested it. self when the arrangements were being made during the morning for the custom sry installation ceremony at tho Catholic Cathedral, which has always formed part of the days proceedings. The Parnellites were then informed, first by rumor and afterwards as positive fact, that the in stallat on ceremonies at the Cathedral must be abandoned, as the Bishop, the Righ, Rev. T. A OCallahan, D. D., refused to receive the Parnellite Mayor. This nform- ation was greeted with many signs of ex- treme indignation by the Parnellites, who are now convinced that the battle with the priesthood Is only in It's early stages, that long and desperate struggle for suprem acy between themselves and tho priest, may be looked forward to throughout Ire land if Mir. Parnell remains at the head oi his faction of the Irish party.
