ton are lrTltateu 10 degree not before
reached in the war of the Irish factions by
what Timothy Healy calls the cool, self
assumption of the Parnell manifesto. For
tho present week all their energies have
been devoted to breaking down the Par
nellite mission to America, and nearly ev-
cry newspaper office and news agency has
been bombarded with alleged revelations
more or less derogatory to Parnell. Tim

yindictive and malignant. is never known
to mention the name of the Irish leader
without associating with it that of Mrs.
OShea- HIS utterances in this respect

the disgust of his hearers. Mccarthy has
repeatedly besought him to bride his
tongue on the ground that he is doing more
harm than good to the cause. but Healy
seems as much desirous of wounding Par
nelPs feelings as of producing political
effect. His latest exploit of having Par
nell followed by a detective to Brighton,
where Mrs. O'Shea is stopping. is regarded
as peculiar. in view of the fact that Mr..
Parnell makes no secrecy of his journeys to
Brighton, where he has apartments, and
where he is frequently visited by friends
from all parts of the United Kin gd0m.
Neither is it any secret that in June next
Mrs OShea will become Mrs. Parnell.
So far Mrs. O'Shea has como out ahead in
her contest with her brothers over the
property or her aunt the late Lady wood.

some concession on the part of Mrs OShea.

FRYING REPORTERS BALKED.
Mr.. Parnell cut most undignified figure
in his determined efforts to avoid the news
paper men who desired to interview him
with regard to Mr. Healy's allegations that
he was spending his time in private
enjoyment while matters of vital i'm
portance to Ireland were being dis
cussed and acted upon in the House
of Commons. Mr.. Psrnell was known to
be in the library of the House and to
this place the reporters sent in their cards
during the evening without being vouch-
safed any response; but finally their per-
sistence was rewarded by promise that
Mr.. Parnell would see them at q particular
spot at a certain time. While the atten-

was raining heavily, and Mr.. Parnell was
obliged to run quite q distance through the
storm to catch a cab. He got good wet
porters. The press generally express dis,
gust at Mr.. Parnells secret tactics, and
thinly disguised mysteriousness.
The Mccarthy movement is fast being
absorbed by the ecclesiastical part Of 1t.
Z The money raised for the federation has
been chiefly contributed by the bishops and
priests, and, as they are assuming the di-
rection, the laity, even of anti-Parnell pro-
clivities, seems inclined to let them pay the
expense. Although represented as vol
untary contribution, there has been o sys-
tematic levy on the clergy throughout Ire
land for the federation. A considerable
number refused to respond. some because
they prefer Parnell, and others because the
demands of charity more than appeal for
any spare funds in their possession The
clergy generally have subscribed for the
new Mccarthy paDer In Dublin, for which
subscriptions are also being solicited among
the laity by agents armed with letters from
the episcopacy.
In the opinion of English Liberals the
alarming feature of the Irish situation ie
the absence of Irish mem bers of Parliament
from the House of Commons. Many of them
appear TO have lost all interest In their du-
ties, and devote their time to the contro-
versy in Ireland. This leaves the English
Liberals to carry on the fight, in which the
rfa ah hou tot Sr,fo will hnrrf
solid assistance from that country, and the
government has its way unobstructed with
any measures it chooses to submit.
The National Press. the now McCarthyite
organ. says to-day that Mr.. ParnelPs mani
festo is las stupid as his Sunday speeches.
Its readers will find it as mystifying as the
Fifteen puzzle or Pigs in Clover"
The Irish Times to-day remarks that Mr..
ParnelPs last effort to win freedom by con-
stitutional means begins where all these
movements begin and end. In a fund.
The Pail Mall Gazette this evening says
that 1T has rained Irish manifestos during
the past two months. There never was q
greater meteorological curiosity than Mr..
Fox's' manifesto. There Is q tactful phrase
addressed to the physical force gallery
about one more, even though last, effort to
win by. constitutional means. But the
most delicious touch Is the tone pervading
the whole as of monarch by divine right.
proposing to purge the majority which de-
posed him of reasonable elements"
The St. James Gazette Is of the opinion
that if the line Mr.. Parnell has taken does
not answer the game in America is up.
The Star says: IF the Americans swal-
low that Mr.. ParnelPs manifested they
will awallow anything. 1t is not good
enough, even. for our old friend, the New
York Slavey."
The Globe states that "the side will pros
per best whose missionaries keep ahead
and pick pockets before their competitors
arrive. so if Mr.. Parnell has reduced ad-
mission TO his ranks to those possessing abb
solute purity. integrity and honor, he has
put himself to disadvantage"
Parnews Address Coidly Received
NEW YORK. March 14.-Mr. Parnelps
manifesto is but coldly received. The Her
aid and Tribune did not print it, and the
Times published but o brief synopsis In
its editorial columns the Times says: Mr..
Parnelps tours of this country. apparently.
have not had the effect of impressing him
very deeply with the Intelligence of it's in
habItants. either American or Irish. IL
they had had this effect he would scarcely
have yentured to issue To the Irish People
OF America the address that is transmitted
by the cable. The address assumes that
the people who read it have no knowledge
or current events with reference to the
Irish question. except what is impaired to
them by the address itself. Where this as
sumption Is correct the address may be q
very plausible performance. Where the
assumption fails, the address must be en-
firely void a effect -
