LONDON. Nov. 6-TAssociated Press,
copyrighted, 1891. The authorized ex-
pianation of the Gladstonian papers anent
the Liberal leaders share in the Boulogne
negotiations, will only serve to confirm
the suspicion that Gladstone's old parlia-
mentary lieutenants had been once more
working in darkness in trying to win the
adhesion of the solid Irish party while
keeping the terms of the bargain secret.
O'Brien's statements are declared by the
Liberal leaders to be absurd misrepresenta-
tions. 1t is absolutely denied that the
Liberal leaders gave Mccarthy or any
other negotiator any assurance as a basis
Tor secret covenant These official
denlais. however, are SO wrapped in
qulbbles as to be deprived of the force
lnheernt in direct and honest contradic-
tion. Other disclosures show that Glad
stone and Morley had secret communica-
tions with O'Brien, Dillon and Mccarthy
during the BouIogne negotiations
O'Brien holds some of these communica-
tions, which Harrington and Redmond
challenged him to publish. 1t is not
probable, however, that O'Brien will dis
close them as long as the alliance with the
Liberals exists. The widow of ParnelI has
others OF these communications, and il is
expected that they will come to light AS
soon as her recovery enables her to take
part in the defense of Parnell and strike his
enemies. The exigencies of the position
are keenly felt by the Liberals and confirm
the general party demand that Gladstone
shall at the earliest opportunity make a
clear statement of his revised home rule
scheme. The unionists revel in personal
criticisms of the leaders on each side in the
Cork election contest.
L. NJ. .Healy has to face a worse encoun-
ter than the one with McDermott. Henry
Harrison, M. 7. for Tipperary has warned
Healy that if he repeated the insulting
illusions to Mrs. Parnel he would
take the law into his own hands and
punish Healy. Healy. in repeating the
references to Mrs. Parnell, adds that he
would not mince words because she had
found protection in Harrison Harrison,
who is of athletic build, will bide his time
to get at Healy, who is now constantly
protected by police.
The Conservative press announced that
the labor candidates In municipal elections
were everywhere defeated. An analysis of
the returns, on the contrary, shows that
the labor men carried thirty seats in Eng
land. The general result is in favor of the
radicals. The election was fought on party
lines and is a forecast of triumph for the
Gladstonians in the coming parliamentary
elections.
The Times, Standard and unionist papers
generally consider the election of Mr..
Jackson for the Irish chief secretaryship
the best that could have been made
CORK. Nov. 6.-An election was held to-
day for successor IN parliament to the
late Charles Stewart Parnell, who repre-
sented Cork city in the commons. The
Parnelliue candidate was John f. Red
mond, and Martin Flavin, butter mer-
chant of this city, was the McCarthyite
candidate. The influence of the priests
was with the McCarthyites. They made a
house to house canvass of the voters,
following Immediately the Parnelite
canvassers, and threatening the elect
ors with all sorts of horrible things
if they voted for Redmond or
failed to vote for Flavin. In
order to avert possible disorder the polls
this morning were strongly guarded by
the police. Many priests were stationed
about the booths. mingling with the voters
and giving them final instructions and ad-
monitions, or making final appeals before
they entered the polling booths In addi-
ton to the precautions taken by the police
authorities, the whole garrison at Cork
and of the adjacent Notifications We're con-
fined to their barracks and there held
under arms.
At the close of the polling Mr. Flavin
was credited with the victory. The count
ing of the ballots commences in the morn
ing. The polling was heavy. 1t was
noticeable that in the many alterations
between the priests and the Parnellites
the women in most cases sided with the
priests. William O'Brien. received an ova-
tion from the women, who presented him
with flowers and even divested themselves
of their shaws for him to walk upon. The
supporters Of Flavin claim a majority of
/ 200 for him, while the Parnellites believe
they have carried the election by 100 ma
