LONDON, Oct. 12.-Mr. sParnell's parlia-
mentary colleagues have issued the follow
ing manifesto:
Ireland has lost her leader but her cause re-
mains. The duty to the living and the dead is
to maintain erect and unsullied the flag of ma
tional independence You, the people of Ire
iand, gave into the hands of Parnell and his
colleagues the charge of your political interests
and the honor and safety of the national cause.
You asked us by constitutional means to re-
store prosperity, peace and freedom to our coun-
try, and animated by his spirit, guided by his
clear intelligence and frmness of soul,
we carried the cause to a point at
which the tower of victory could be
seen by all men, but in an unfortunate hour the
majority OF the Irish representatives, at the bid
ding of an English statesman, broke our ranks,
abandoned the flag of independent opposition
and ranged themselves rs followers and satel-
lites OF the British statesman. We refused to
become parties to the treason, relying on the
national conviction, aud maintained intact our
allegiance TO the independent national party, in
the conviction that the people would justify
and support us. Our great leader Is dead, but
the cause lives on. Relying on your devotion
to Irish nationality, we propose to carry on the
struggle until the principles for which he
lived and died triumph, and national unity
is restored. The parliamentary party is pledged
to work for Ireland under the flag of independ-
ent opposition, absolutely free from control of
any foreign power or party. This is our resolu-
tion. It's realization depends upon you. 1t in
wolves sacrifices and struggles, and we call upon
you to make them. True to the principles that
We are the instruments of the people, we have
resolved to call convention of representatives
of the Irish to discuss in the name of the nation
means whereby to carry out the policy
and programme he bequeathed us in dying.
70 our ranks we welcome all honest men
who believe that the political affairs of Ireland
should be controlled and directed by representa-
tives of the Irish people alone. but with the men
who are Immediately responsible for this dis
rupture in public life must fight on still. Fell
low countrymen, let it be the glory of our race
at home and abroad to act up TO the spirit of
this message N"God save Ireland?"
I. P. O'Connor, member of parliament,
in an interview today regarding the situa-
tion in Irish parliamentary affairs, said:
The strongest desire of the majority is not to
stand between the nation and restoration of
unity. With this object in view many meet
ings, including the important convention
which was to have been held in Cork, have
been postponed. We desire to show our respect
and grief in the most emphatic manner
Among the political opponents of Parnel were
men whose affection for him personally was as
be their duty to stand by him.
Concerning the chances of reunion of
the Irish parties, O'Connor said:
This is not the time to discuss the question.
1t was anticipated from the frst that the
yehemence of their grief over their lost leader
would lead Parnelps supporters into state of
temper in which reason is blinded by affection
They see in the political opposition to Parnell
only jealousy and private hatred. All
that has happened tended to justify this
view of the case, but 1 believe this
stage OF unreason will pass away. while
sorrow for the loss of Parnell will
remain. The decency and order which pre-
vailed at the vast funeral yesterday, in spite of
the terribe appeals to disorder and passion are
welcome signs that the Irish people will be
ready in time to consider the political situation
calmly and to again be united in a final struggle
for their liberties. There is no diff
ference in political principles, and both
factions are convinced that the Irish party
should be absolutely independent of all English
parties and statesmen, aud that no Irish Nation
alists can accept place or pay from an English
ministry. Both factions desire to get for Ireland
a full and practicable measure of seli-govern
ment, ana will accept no other. The so-called
McCarthyites hold exactly the same creed
politically as the Parnellites.
The health of Mrs. Parnell has not i'm
proved. She Is still under the constant
care of physicians, and her heart is said to
be very weak. The physicians in attend
ance today prevailed upon her to partake
of some slight nourishment.
DUBLIN, Oct. 12.-At meeting of the
National Club this evening the question of
the proposed union with Mccarthy came
up, and after debate resolutions denounc-
ing such union were carried.

feet around the grave the ground is COW

AT private meeting of the parliamen-

The newspapers of this city today con-
tinue their eulogies of Parnell, and on all
sides are heard expressions of regret for
the dead.

meeting of Parnellite members of the
