PARNELL'S MARRIAGE.
Nuptials Of the Irish Statesman and Mrs
Kitty O'shea.
POLITICAL ASPECT OF THE EVENT.
The Leaders Present Happiness and
Brighter Prospects.

LONDON, June 26.-Parnell, during
his interview at Brighton today upon
his marriage to Mrs. O'Shea, said he
found it impossible to procure mar
riage license for any country church,
and in order to preventdelay he thought
it best to have the ceremony performed
at the registry Office at steyning, near
Brighton. Parnell added that the
church ceremony would be celebrated in
London as soon as he and Mrs. Parnell
were able to put in a fortnight's resi-
dence there. This would probably be
after the election at Carlow, for a sue
oesssor in parliament to the late O'Gor
man Mahon. Parnell also, referring to
the religious ceremony which is to take
place in London, said that even in this
case he would do his lest to prevent
outsidersfrom being present, especially
reporters" he added, with a smile.
Asked if he intended to take an active
part in the Carlow election, Paruell re.
piled: Il shall certainly go to Carlow;
IN fact, 1 start tomorrow night if l can
possibly manage to do so am conf.
dent that We shall win" This election,
it may be stated, is the only election
since the O'Shea divorce proceedings in
which Parnell has had q chance of win
ming. He will take Mrs. Parnell with
him to Carlow if he can possibly do SO,
but Mrs Parnell is known to be- bad
sailor, and besides, she is compelled to
remain near her lawyers, owing to the
coming trial of the will suit, in which
she and her brothers are interested, in
respect to the Ethan property. Parnell
intends in future to devote special
attention to the Irish industrial
question in which he is more interested
than in any other question at present.
Recently Parnell has given general
support to Balfour's Irish land bill, be.
lieving that it is we'll conceived meas.
ure, and that it will be we'll carried out.
Parnell believes the measure referred to
will greatly benefit both Irish tenants
and Irish land owners. In conclusion
Parnell said he intends. if possible, to
visit the United States during the COM
ing autumn, as he is of the opinion that
the.sentiment OF the Irish and Irish.
Americans on the other side of the At.
lantio, is in his favor. Consequently
Parnell will try to attend the Irish nn-
tiOnal convention to be held ut Balti-
more during the fall
When Parnell was asked what he
thought would be the political effect
of his marriage to Mrs. O'Shea he said
he had not given the question a thought,
and did not intend to think what the
effect Of his marriage would be. He and
his wife, Parnell explained. were per-
fectly happy. and he was now expert
encing greater happiness than ever
previously during the entire years of
his life. The reporter with whom Par
nell had this interview adds: II never
saw Parnell in more healthy condition
or in better spirits"
THE RESULT PREDICTED.
LONDON, June 28.-Mr. and Mrs. Par
nell entertained some friends yesterday
evening ut Walsingham, to tea, and they
received today several intimate friends.
Parnell has sent greetings to number
of his adherents in the house of COM
mons, expressing his pleasure that the
prolonged period of suspense is over,
and thanking them for their steadfast
friendship during his troubles He
writes under the apparent conviction
that his marriage will rapidly enable
him to he reinstated as the Irish leader
in parliament.
A strong impression in the same di-
rection prevails in the house of COM
mons, in spite Of the knowledge of the
fact that the Catholic clergy will not
accept his marriage as condoning his
otfense. Many English liberals are
ready to hail him as doing his best to
atone for his fault. The Parnellites to-
night did not require to sound the opln-
ion of members on the marriage, as from
every side congratulations poured upon
them unsolicited, on their moral re-
habilitation. Friends in the house of
commons have sent an invitation to Par
nell to make his early appearance in the
house of commons, when his entry is
likely to be greeted with cheers.
Ii the feeling III parliament is
the sentiment of the country.
the marriage will become o political
event. No immediate restoration of
confidence between Parnell and the lib
eral leaders is possible, nor is it proba-
BILE that the factional feud will end,
without long opposition from some of
his now irreconcilable enemies. But
the marriage has deprived his foes Of
one of their most potent weapons of at
tack, and Lis assured political restora.
tion it is generally believed, becomes
only matter of time.
The future plans of Mr.. and Mrs.
Parnell indicate that after period of
seolusion it is their intention to enlarge
their social life. Mrs. Parnell talks Of
leaving Brighton, and taking a large
house in London. If she wins her pro
bate suit she will be rich, and able to
entertain. Those knowing her best say
salon, to create which she has capacities
equal to her ambition. 1t has long been
known that she has been q valuable po-
litical ally of Parnell, with whom she
has discussed every turn of affairs more
intimately than any member Of his
party.
