PARNELL'SLOSING GAME.
THE GARD OF DILLON AND OBRIEN
a SERIOUS BLOW.

With Them Before They Left Their
Cells-The Chief Dublin Parnellites
Hold a Meeting 'Brien Adjudged
a Bankrupu-The Irish Fund.
DUBLIN, July 31.-O'Dwyer Gray, pro-
prietor of the Freemdn's Journal, pub
lished letter to-day in that newspaper
saying that in view of the revelations Of
the Campbell law suit, and in view of the
utterances yesterday of Messrs. Dillon and
O'Brien, he will hereafter reject the leader
ship of Mr.. Parnell.
PARNELL TO APPEAL.
LONDON, July 31.-It is announced that
Mr.. Parnell intends to appeal against the
decision of the bankruptcy court, which
held that his plea of nou-residsncs as
ground for not paying the costs in the
O'Shea divorce suit was untenable.
PARNELLITEs DEPRESSED.
tCopyri9ht, 1891, bV the N. Y. associated Press
LONDON, July 31.-The repudiation of
Mr. Parnell by Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien,
though q toregone conclusion, has pro-
foundly depressed the Parnellites, who relied
upon belief that both would suspend pub
lie pronouncement. Mr.. Parnell sought,
through private communications made
on the eve of their release, to resume
negotiations, but neither responded 70 these
secret overtureS. Mr.. Parnell hoped until
the last moment yesterday that he would
again entangle them into maneuvers for
reunion. Their prompt and decided
declarations as soon as they were outside of
the prison doors, and their refusal to listen
TO any advances from the Parnellites fell
like a death blow upon the faction.
The last flicker o hope went
out when the lord mayor of
Dublin and other devoted Parnellites vainly
tried to induce Mr.. O'Brien, who was sup-
posed to be more docile than Mr.. Dillon, to
reconsider his position. Mr. OBrien
bluntly declined renewal of the Boulogne
negotiations or any approach thereto.
PARNELLITEs MEET.
When the attitude of the released leaders
became definitely known the chief Dublin
Parnelhtes held meeting privately, and
had a warm time disputing over the course
they should take. An intimation reached
them of the desertion of the party organs in
Dublin and Belfast, and several members
of the ParnelIite committee withdrew,
leaving the steadfast adherents to pass a
resolution denouncing Messrs. Dillon and
O'Brien, and urging Mr.. Parnell not to
yield.
PARNELL STILL STICKS.
To-day Mr.. Parnell telegraphed TO the
would not make him alter his course hairs
breadth. He proposes on Sunday to speak
at Thurles, a strong ecclesiastical center in
Ireland, probably to anew hurl defiance at
the bishops and to prophecy his
future triumph. To fill up the
gaps left in the committee. by
the deserters another directorate is form
ing, aspiring to- found daily paper on the
"Parnell pence" principle. The one Dublin
evening paper remaining faithful appeals TO
the party to rally and not to succumb to
stage fright because they have lost Mr.
O'Brien. But the truth now penetrating
the stoutest Parnellite hearts is that their
cause is nigh extinct, and that it
will be useless to continue the
struggle. II continued it will no longer
have a constitutional character. The COM
position of the league sections now adher-
ing to Mr.. Parnell points to the reversion of
the faction to the old Fsnian type. 1t Is
safe to predict that Mr.. Parnell will soon
appeal for the support Of revolutionary
partisans at home and abroad.
CONSERVATIVES REVOLT.
The government training colleges bill
which practically proposes to endow two
large Catholic colleges in Dublin and one
very minor Protestant college, has caused
revolt in the conservative
ranks. However just in principle,
the bill so raised sectarian jealousies that it
threatened to protract the session and even
TO shake the position of the ministry Sec
retary Balfour. however, sklllfully resorted
to a plan TO provide capital for the coll
leges from the funds at the disposal Of the
Irish education board. The bill, therefore
can be postponed.
O'BRIEN A BANKRUPT.
William O'Brien was finally adjudicated a
bankrupt to-day at the instance of Lord
Coll 10 will aor,A 90 7
day, 20 try to arrange a conference with
MIR. Parnell and Mr. Mccarthy In regard to
the Paris fund. Mr.. MCCARTHY, at the in
stance OF Mr.. Parnell. already has
agreed to the withdrawal of
95,0 900 to meet the legal expendi -
lures incurred when the party was united.
Whatever Mr.. O'Brien's plans may be there
is small hope that Mr.. Parnell will assent
to release the funds unless he shall be
permitted to control its disposal. His personal
embarrassmentd does not appear to have been
relieved by his marriage. He has made an
extraordinary claim against Capt. OShea
for e3, 600 ad vauced to him between Sep
ternber, 1889, and November, $780, partly
during the period Of the divorce proceed
ings. Capt. O'Shea denies the debt Curious
disclosures are expected on Mr. Parnelps
attempt to prove the claim.
WORLDS FAIR COMMISSIONERS.
The Chicago fair commissioners have
arranged to proceed from Paris to Berlin
to morrow. Minister Phelps has made an
engagement to present them to Gen. Won
Caprivi at the chancellerie Tuesday. Sub
sequently a reception will be given
to the commissioners. Minister Won Boet-
ticher, Chancellor von Caprivi, Count Rot
tenburg and the imperial commissioner
Herr Meremuth. have accepted invitations
to a dinner in honor of the commissioners
to be given at the home of Minister Phelps
Preparations are being made to give the
commissioners hearty welcome at all the
German centers.
IMMIGRATION INSPECTORS.
The officials Of the board of trade are
watching the methods OF inquiry OF the
United states emigration commissioners.
It is believed that the inquiry will result in
the appointment of American inspectors at
all leading English ports with some system
of consular supervision. A high official of
the board says that the English govern
ment officers will be instructed
TO cooperate with Americans
to secure reforms for regulating the tide Of
emigration. Although publicly protesting
that there is no necessity for special pro-
vision against the influx Of destitute aliens,
the government is using the utmost rigors
of the existing law to stop settlements of
foreign paupers in England. Customs
officers board all vessels on their arrival,
and refuse to allow apparently destitute
persons to land unless they are able to pro-
duce proof that they have means of susie
nance or can give the addresses Of friends.
An official inquiry has resulted in the DIS
