LONDON, July Especial For the
hrst time in several months Irish affairs
are the leading topic here. 1t is stated
on high authority among the Mccarthy.
ties that Dillon will shortly be selectcd
as leader OF the party. Mccarthy has
only been waiting for IA chance to get
rla OF tho burden of tho craftsmanship,
and devote himself entirely to his fay
orito occupation of literature. Ills
finances have suffered considerably
since he accepted the leadership by
calls upon his generosity, while his in

From all parts of ireland appeals have

tarcc in the cases OF evicted tenants and
others, and although his moderate cir
cumstanccs would have justified a gen
cral refusal, yet his natural sympathies

the first time in his life, he has been
subject to personal abuse, and his inti-
mate friends say that while too proud
and patriotic to openly acknowledge his
disappointment, he has been cured of
lifelong enthusiasm for the national
cause, at least SO far as wearing out the
remainder OF his career in tho task of

on the consent of Archbishop Croke,
who is not likely to agree to such dis
position, even temporarily, of Parnell.
That there will be disorder at Thurle
next Sunday there is little doubt. Tho
people there are almost to /. man de-

ably resent any allusion Of an unfavora.
