LONDON, Feb. 19.-No great Roadway
has been made during the week on the
question Of the leadership of the Irish
party. The ParneIlites are ominously
quiet. The McCarthyites are in the fore
with meetings and preparing for war
Beginning in Ireland on Sunday Mr.. Par
nell will endeavor to inspire his friends
with the hope that he win yet triumph.
Accounts received from ireland do not
support his claim, but rather indicate q
decline of strength. The McCarthyites
are certainly advancing in preparation for
the campaign. They will have the sys-
tematic support of the priests, who are
unrelenting in denouncing Mr.. Parnell.
Mr.. Davitt's paper tomorrow, in severe
arraignment of Mr.. Parnell, will say:
Nothing was moro complete and no
more dishonest purpose could be devised
VIAL III. aKnons AoolluS VI M. " DITCH
at Boulogne. When time and all else ser
viceable to Mr.. Parnslls desperate policy
were gained he wrote his victim coolly,
Withdrawing and asking him to place the
responsibility on the McCsrthyites. Both
sections now regret that Q question has
been raised as to how the fund of 5000,
handed to Aessrs. O'Brien and Harring-
ton, was used; but being raised, both sec
tions are determined to make a statement
on the subject. The Parnellites rely on
Mr.. O'Brien to clear them of the charge of
use of the money, but doubt
ing whether O'Brien will be allowed
to engage in the controversy
in his prison coll application
permit Mr.. Sexton, as the Mccarthy nom
inee, with Mr.. Harrington to confer with
Mr.. OBrien. The request has been referred
to Mr. Balfour who will not sccede unless
there is reason to suppose that the con-
ference wonld further embitter the quar-
rel between the factors. Mr.. Harrington
has been secretly communicating with
Mr.. O'Brien since the latter went to Clon-
mel, and had placed him in possession of
the facts in regard to the fund dispute
Mr.. O'Brien is expected to pronounce on
this matter explicitly as soon as he gets
permission and failing permission a
statement will be got Underground"
The conservative are jubilant over
the squabble and the preliminary
of the campaign, of
which the new Parnelite cry, English
gold," is an instance. In spite of Mr.. Nc
Carthy's denial of monetary aid from the
liberals the Parnellites appear to rely upon
was the sing-song of yesterdays meeting
in Dublin, where a formal resolution was
adopted which alluded to money promised
by English radicals and liberals to English
seceders. Though Mr.. Mccarthy was ac-
curate in saying his party received no
money from the liberals, several wealthy
liberals are ready to provide them with
money. Mr.. Parnel will rely in future
upon subscriptions from the people and
money from America, for which tho Nc
Carthy party will also compete. The
events of the week in parliament, begin
ming with Mr.. Aorley's caustic speech on
Mr.. Balfour, eliminated tonight in
Mr.. Gladstone's rather mild deliverance
in favor of the disestablishment of the
church in Wales. Last evening he init
mated his decision to speak and crowded
house awaited to hear him talk. His fol-
lowers rejoiced to hear him speak on prin-
ciples now accepted by the bulk of the
party, that Wales ought to be treated Qor
legislative purposes) as separate entity.
His arguments that an enormous ma ority
of the Welsh we're outside the pale of the
church, and that the opinion of the people
in constitutional matter de-
equitable settlement, met with the
heartbeat response from his followers. The
rejection of the motion did not effect the
sense of coming triumph. Welsh disestab
is as certain as home rule in the
coming parliament.
