CORK. March 2S.--It is announced to-day
that Mr.. Parnell hes written letter to the
Cork leadership committee, in which the
tone of-studied insult and the untruthful
character Of the statements made in Mr..
Heaiy1s letter accepting his Orr. Parnell's)
challenge that they should bothresign their
seats in parliament and come forward as
candidates for reelection debar him from
Communicating directly with. Mr..
Healy or with the latters friends.
Mr. Parnell adds that ii is
impossible TO expect that any agreement
viii De respected by his oppoHents longer
than 8 expedient. However, he hes placed
his application for the Chiltern Hundreds
in Mr.. Noland's hands, requesting him TO
forward it directly. Mr.. Healy submits
himself before the electors of the division of
Cork which he represents.
HEALY READY.
Maurice Healy, when questioned to-day
about Mr.. Parnell's letter to the leadership
committee, said that he had not seen ths
letter referred to, but If the resignation
was genuine, he tMr. Healy) would in
stantly meet it.
William OBrien and John Dillon were
to-day transferred from the Galway Jail to
the Jail at Cork. They were recognized
upon their arrival at the railway station
here, and as they were driven through the
streets upon jaunting cars guarded by a
police escort the prisoners received an
ovation from the people in the. streets.
Messrs. O'Brien and Dillon were at first
taken to Clonmel prison after surrender
ing TO the police at Folkestone on Feb. -,
and on Feb. is they were transferred to the
Galway. jail.
WHO HIS AssAILANT IS.
Mr.. Healy's assailant is .O'Brien Dalton,
| who was connected with the Tipperary cen-
spiracy. He first upbraided Mr. Healy for
| an insulting speech which he made while
| Dalton was in prison. He then struck Mri
| Healy. The glass injured the coating of
| Mr.. Healy's LETT eye, and inflicted an
| incised wound an inch below the eyelid.
It is feared that Inflammation will epsue.
| Mr.. HeaIy's sight is not injured. Mr..
Morley, who arrived at the hotel after the
assault, was highly indignant. Parnellite
roughs watched all the exits till MIR. Healy
departed from a back entrance, when they
hoo ted him.
PARNELL AT SLIGO.
SLIGO, March 23.-Mr. Parnell, ina speech
delivered here to-day, quoted Gen. Gordon's
! opinionBtha the tenants Should be bought
out by compulsory preparation at small
sum and should be allowed to keep their
holdings in perfect security and practically
rent free. Eight or ten million pounds. he
said, would be more than ample to compen
safe the landlords for any losses they NIGH
sustain. This would be small sum to &C
complish nobler WORK than the emancipa-
| ton of the slaves in the south
ern states OF America. Mr.. Par
nell, in referring TO the seceders
from his ranks, said he preferred Valentine
| Dillon (the Sligo candidate) to a good pro
| portion Of the traitors who had deserted tht
party, because Mr.. Dillon would not rur
away if the grand old man made faces a
| him.. He would put his back to the wal
and die fighting rather than march ou
| with all the. honors Of war, which the
seceders did not do when they hastily re
treated from room L.. II the strife
had been removed from the heated
| fluence of the National Liberal Club, some
way swould have been found out of the
\ difficulty without the present deplorabla
| schism.
At many other meetings Mr.. Parnell,
| difficulty in obtaining bearing has beer
SO great that the services of the police
have frequently been required. The
election agent of Valentine Dillon has ap-
| piled to the magistrates for protection
| against what he terms organized mobs."
PARNELL's POPULARITY WANING.
DUBLIN, March 23.-Mr. Parnell Travelled
from this city to Sligo to-day. His journey
there was no gathering at the station to
greet him.
4 BOGUS LIST OF SUBSCRIBERS.
Canon Kearney has written letter to th'
National Press, the .McCarthyite organ, il
| which he says that he is astonished to fnt
his name published in the Free1lGn's Jour
nal as having written to the lord mayor, EN-
closing 45 note for the fund being RAISED
for Mr.. Parnell's campaign purpose. Canor
! Kear ney's denial, the National Press says
is suggestive. of the bogus list Of subscribers
Mr.. Sexton, speaking at Sligo. announced
that Mr.. Healy would hand his resignation
to Mr.. Deasy, the nationalist whip, so that
Messrs. Nolan and Deasy could apply for
the Chiltern Hundreds together.
LOOKED UPON AS A TRICK.
LONDON, March 23.-Michael Dayitt, Ia
an interview to-day, said that Mr.. ParneH'
phrase in his letter to the Cork Leadership
committee saying $50 soon as Mr. Heall
has submitted himself to the Judgment of
aud has gone to, his constituents" is repe
tition OF the Boulogne trick. Mr.. Davit
added: "Mr. Parneli wishes to make Mr.
Healy be the first to resign, and then b.
(Mr. ParnelD would be guided by the resul
Of Mr.. Healy's fate. Mr.. Parnell woult
never have noticed the acceptance Of hi
challenge except tor the taunts of the press
He now evades the terms Of his own chal

THE ELECTION AT ASTON.
Mr. Davitt, referring to the recent con,
servative victory at Aston, said that th
battle was fought not on the home rule bu
on the labor issue, and thasJoseph Chamber
lain's influence secured the, middle clas
vote. He added that the goyerRmenti
resolve to appoint labor commission to in
auire into the cause of strikes and the bes
way to remedy them, as well as into labol
matters generally, undoubtedly greatly in
fuenced the laborers, but the latter did no
see the governments desire to shelve tn
labor question by appointing such men a.
Lord Harrington, and the Earl of Derby a
members of the commission.
Interviews with members in the lobby Of
the House of Commons show genera
belief that Mr. Parnell will not resign unit
after Mr.. Healy has resigned. Many Nc
Carthyites are so confident of the defeat o
Mr.. ParneH that they urge Mr.. Healy tc
make every possible concesiionto force ar
encounter.
