ANTIPARNELLITE MEETING.
LONDON, Feb. 12.-The long-talked-of
meeting of the nti-Parnellite members of
the Commons was held to-day. Justin Nc
Carthy presided. During the course of the
meeting number of kilograms from absent
members were read. These messages stated
that the senders were detained in Ireland,
and deplored the rupture of the negotiations
looking to settlement The affairs of the
party were discussed at great length.
Another meeting was held this evening
1t was decided to convene the National
Committee Immediately at Dublin, in order
to deal with the situation. The meeting
passed resolutions of regret at the failure
of these negotiations.
Mccarthy and Sexton issued a brief Off
cial statement, declaring the Boulogne ne
gotiations were conducted upon their sole
responsibility, uninfuenced by any other
members of their section, and specifically
upon the basis that ParnelPs leadership
was impossible. Sexton adds: 'McCalthy
and myself had an interview tonight with
Dillon and O'Brien, who declared that, in
their judgment, we had done all that men
could do to arrive at friendly result"
PARNELLs DEMANDS.
The Times says: 1t is understood that
Parnell has refused to be satisfied with any,
thing short of a pledge to leave the Dublin
Parliament absolutely untettered to deal
with the question.
In the Commons to-day Healy created
commotion by asking Balfour when any
portion of the Zetland relief fund will be
paid cash down. Balfonr said that it was
private fund with which the Commons
had nothing to do.
MacNell asked if Balfour and the Earl
Of ZeIland did not make an appeal for funds
in their official capacity. Balfour said GER
tainly not. The Tithes Bill passed its third
reading.
NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-The Herald's Lon
don special says: "At the anti-Parnellite
meeting yesterday sevarsi members charged
Parnell with breach OF faith. 1t was alleged
that he agreed to accept the assurances re-
ceived from the Liberal leaders
if Dillon and O'Brien declared
them to be satisfactory. Both
of these gentlemen stated that in their vie W
the assurances were sufficient, but, not
withstanding, Parnell declined to accept
them. The anti-Parnellites are also dis
satisfied with the neutral attitude adopted
by Dillon and O'Brien. They believe that
the effect of this will be to strengthen Par
nelps position, and they are exceedingly
disappointed that Dillon and 0'Brien have
not thrown in their lot with the Parliamen-
tary party.
Personally O'Brien is disposed to side
with Parnell and Dillon with the Mccarthy
ties. The McCarthyites state that they will
continue to maintain an attitude of complete
independence in relation to the Liberal
party. 1t is believed, however, that the re-
suit Of the rupture will be to place them in
much closer cooperation with the Radicals
than has been the case for some time past.
The Radicals, as body, intend to give all
the support in their power to the anti-Par-
nell campaign in their constituencies"
THE WORLDS VIEWS.
A London special to the World SAYS: "The
mnnifestoes of Dillon and O'Brien have in
furiated the McCarthyites, and at their
private meeting to-day. the proposal was
made by one irreconcillable section 10 issue
an attack on Dillon and OBrien. This sug-
gestion was vetoed, as in view of the
sympathy excited by the arrests of the two
members. reputation of them would still
further damage the position of the Nc
CarthyItes. A general reading of the mani
festOes, by politicians of all hues here, is
that O'Brien is in favor of Parnel, Will e
Dillon Is against Parnell, but also
against the McCarthyites."
