LONDON. June 70 Associated Press,
Copyrighted, 1891 Mr. and Mrs Parnell
entertained some friends yesterday even
ing al Walsingham Terrace and today re-
celyed several intimates. Parnell has
sent greetings TO number of adherents in
the commons, expressing pleasure that the
prolonged period of suspense is over, and
thanking them for their steadfast
friendship during his troubles. He
writes under the apparent convic-
ton that his marriage will enable
HIM TO be reinstated as the Irish
leader. A strong impression in the same
direction prevails in the commons, in
spite of knowledge of the fact that the
Catholic clergy will not accept the mar
rage as condoning his offenses. The En-
giish Liberals are ready TO hail him as a
man doing his best to atone for his fault.
No immediate restoration of confidence
between Parnell and the Liberal leaders is
possible, nor is it probable that the fac
tlonal feud will end without long opposi-
tion from some of his now irreeoncilable
enemies, but the marriage has deprived
his foes of one of their most potent
weapons for attack. His moral position is
assured. and his political restoration, it is
generally believed, becomes q matter of
time
The future plans of Mr. and Mrs Parnell
indicate that after period of seclusion it
is their intention to enlarge their social
life. Mrs. Parnell talks OF leaving
Brighton and taking large house in
London. If she wins the probate suit she
will be rich and able TO entertain. Those
knowing her best say she aims TO form $
political and artistic salon, to create which
she has capacities equal to her ambition.
1t has long been known that she has been
a valuable political ally to Parnen. with
whom she has discussed every turn of
affairs more intimately than any member
of his party. 1t can be predicted with
certainty that under her open guidance
Parnell will Immediately modify his
tactics.
In the fight with the McCarthyites recon-
Citation will be the watchword. The first
contest. at Carlow, viii be fought on the
Parnellite side with great attention TO
personal amenities. Mccarthy has prac-
tically withdrawn from the leadership of
his party. his physicians warning him to
avoid excitement.
Parnell, during an interview at Brighton
today upon his marriage TO Mrs. o'Shea,
said he found it impossible to procure q
marriage license for any country church,
and in order to prevent delay,
he thought it best to have the
ceremony performed at the registrars
office at Steyning. Parnell added that the
church ceremony would be celebrated in
London as soon as he and Mrs. Parnell
were able to put in fortnight's residence
there This would probably be after the
election at Carlow for a successor in par
lament TO the late O'Gorman Mahon. Mr..
Parnell intends in the future 70 de-
vote special attention 10 the Irish
industrial question, in which he
is more interested than any other at pres
ent. Recently he has given general sup
port to Balfour's Irish land bill, believing
it is well conceived measure and that it
will greatly benefit Irish tenants and land
owners.
Parnell said he intends, if possible, to
visit the United States during the coming
autumn, being of the opinion that the SEN
timent of the Irish and Ir1sh-Americans
on the other side is in his favor. He will
try To attend the Irish convention to be
held at Baltimore.
When asked what he thought would be
the political effect OF his marriage he said
he had not given that question thought,
and did not intend 10 think of ii. He was
now experiencing greater happiness than
ever previously during the entire course
of his life
The reporter with whom ParneH had
the interview adds that he never saw Mr..
Parnell in a more healthy condition or
better spirits.
The debate on the Irish land bill was re-
sumed in the house of lords today. The
bill passed the second reading without di-
vision. and the committee stage was fixed
for Thursday next.
