! London, March 20.-Mchacl Davt in an inter

| Mr.. Parnelrs "blnG.' Mr Davitt said that lie did
! not intend TO be candidate in an election in the
| division Of Cork City which Mr. Parnen now rep
resented Mr.. Davitt added that two reasons caused
him to make this decision The first he said. d" is

| if he does resign he will be beaten should he
forward for election. The second reason is that

future, though unwilling to bind myself to re.

Union last night unless | count the money myself.
MY advice to the worlingmen is TO abstain from
strikes for three years, to organize and increase
their funds. Then they will be in good position to
| place their demands before their employers
