Cork, Oct. 27.-The feeling aroused
throughout Ireland, and especially in
this city, by the recent politica, and
factional sayings and doings, is very
bitter, and threatens to result in serious
conflicts between the McCarthyites and
Parnellites. There were several affrays
here yesterday evening at the close of
the various political meetings, and
sticks and stones were freely used by
both parties. The result is that num-
ber of the members of the two opposing
parties are being nursed in hospitals and
elsewhere for severe wounds incurred
the trays.
DILLON AND o'BRIEN IN CORK.
Messrs. William O'Brien and John
Dillon arrived here today. The two dis
tinguished members OF parliamentwer
met by deputation and an enormous
crowd of people, who formed a process
sion headed by brass band and es-
corted by strong detachment of police.
There was no disturbance. O'Brien,
during his speech at the assembly rooms,
said he was willing to give fair play to
his opponents, but added that he would
not yield to brickbats and dynamite
bombs. Continuing, O'Brien said they
(the Parnellites) might blow up the Of
fee (the newspaper representing the
views of the McCarthyites), "but," he
exclaimed, ''they cannot destroy the
spirit which animates that party"
O'Brien further declared that it had
become his duty to drive the followers
of Parnell from parliament. The con-
vention thereupon called upon DR..
Kinny to resign his seat.
PITCHED STREET BATTLE.
As soon as the convention closed its
proceedings Dillon and O'Brien passed
through the city, still accompanied by
the procession which met them at the
railroad station. Suddenly the Nc
Carthyites were attacked by large mob
of Parnellites, and both sides foughs
desperately with sticks, clubs, shovels
and pixies. A detachment of mounted
police was sent for, and the ran in
between the the two lines OF combatants,
striking right and left with the fiat Of
their sabres, amid two crossing showers
of stones and bricks. A large number
of wounded were stretched bleeding and
groaning in the streets before the troop

hospital had to find accommodation for
many wounded persons by the time
hostilities were suspended.
There was great excitement every
where in Cork this evening. The antag-
onistic groups, it is feared, will reassem-
BILE, and there is danger thet the battle
between them will be resumed.
This evening troops have formed in
the square for the protection of the open
air meeting to be addressed by Dillon
and OBrien.
THE DUBLIN DYNAMITE EPISODE.
DUBLIN, Oct. 27.-The National Press,
the McCarthyite organ, referring to the
attempt to blow up its Office last night
with bomb says "The men who laid
the internal machine at our doors have
been taught tor the past ten months by
the Freeman's Journal and by United
Ireland that freedom OF opinion will no
longer be tolerated, and that every op-
posing Nationalist may righteously be
mobbed, and if necessary murdered.
The instruments of crime who have
been educated by their masters to cow
ardly practice, own the precepts OF Par
nelism. With the death of their
creator, they have descended to the
practice OF Nihilists and Carbonara."
The National Press also declares that
after the explosion of the bomb in the
Abbey street area fifty or sixty men,
supposed to be part of the gang OF Par
nellites to whose credit the explosion is
placed, poured into the National Press
Office, shouting: "To hell with the
Healy murderers. Is Tim dead?"
