Associated Press Dispatches.

lONDON, MdiCl O.-lOOPy iiSHeCus AoVl,
by the New York Associated Press.l-
Parnell's delegates to America will
leave on Sunday. They are, greatly
hastened by cable assurances of the
warm and widespread support of their
American compatriots. United Ireland
contrasts the departure and prospects of
O'Connor, Kelly, Redmond and Har-
rington with the partial collapse OF the
McCarthyites' mission preparations.
The McCarthyites at first arranged to
send Abraham, Kenney and Flynn to
act with O'Connor. Abraham refused.
Kenney and Flynn were surprised, and
T. P. O'Connor packed up his traps. to
come home. Now single ambassador,
Mr.. Fox, goes to represent the failing fac
ton. The firm est English friendsof the
McCarthyites are beginning to despair
OF their ability to make headway against
the vigor OF the Parnellites. seParnell
has shown his usual skill in the selec-
ton of his emissaries. All, excepting
Harrington, are trusted Nationalists,
and can appeal with confidence, based
upon past personal history, to the Irish
Americans. Parnells speech at Clark
enwell was pointed bid for the labor
vote. 1t was also meant to entice
Davitt, but onlystirred up Davitt's bile.
Writing to the Labor World, Davitt pre-
diets that Parneil will now humbug the
workmen; denounces him for making
hypocritical profession of interest in
labor, whilst actively fomenting racial
feuds between the English and Irish
democracies, and accuses him of being
ready to wreck, the home rule move
ment to pave the way for compact
like that OF 1885.
THE BURDETT-coUrrsE SHOCKED.
Philadelphia papers have been re-
ceived here, in which Mr.. Burdett- Coutts
is named as the defendant in divorce
suit, and frank illusions are made to
the parties concerned. Even the most
careless gossipers would not have asso-
ciated Rurdett-C Coutts with scandal in
England, wn6re his Character and mode
OF life have placed him above suspicion.
The mistakes made. by tic An,crioan
papers nave been as great shock to the
baroness as to her husband. The latter
tonight writes the Associated Press to
state that the report that there is prob
ability of his being implicated in di-
vorce suit is absolutely untrue. With
reference to the affair, as linked with
another name, it is now known that no
publicity is probable.
THE MACKAY-BoNYNGE AFFAIR.
Since the San Francisco fracas, when
Mr.. Mackay vindicated his wife's honor,
the other party, instead of prosecuting
Mackay on the spot. has done nothing
in the way Of vindication, unless in
spring suggestions in some American
and European papers that Mackay as
saulted him from behind. Mackay's
London solicitors, in prosecuting an
Anglo-French paper for libel, believe
they have hit upon the origin of the in
element to the libellous article, and it
will add additional interest to the pro-
ceedings If proof is produced connecting
the San Francisco incident with the
press attacks in Paris.
NUMBERING THE QUEENS SUBJECTS.
The work of taking the census of the
British empire, began Thursday. in
India. 1t is expected to show $50. .OOO,-
600 in India, against 254 ,000, 900 in 1881.
The census of the British isles will be
taken month hence, and it is estimated
that the population will show an in
crease Of 15 per cent.
Ex-EMPREss FREDERICK's MPRUDENCE.
Lord Lytton has come from Paris to
have conference with Lord Salisbury
on the possible issues arising from ex-
Empress Frederick's visit to Paris. He
does not fear that the relations between
France and Germany have been se-
r;ously strained. He tacitly blames the
empress for imprudence.
