Cork, Oct. 27.-William O'Brien and
Jonn Dillon arrived here today. The two
distinguished members of parliament were
met by deputation and an enormous
crowd of people. The procession was
headed by brass band and escorted by a
strong detachment of police. There was
no disturbance. O'Brien, during his speech
at the assembly room, said he was willing
10 give fair play to his opponents,
but added that he would not yield 10
'orIckbats and dynamite bombs" Con-
tlnulng, O'Brien said the Parnellites
might blow up the office of the newspaper
representing the views of the Mccarthy
ties. 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 conven-
ton thereupon called upon DR..
Kenny to resign his seat. As
soon as the convention closed
its proceedings, Dillon and OBrien passed
through the city, still acco mpanied by the
procession which met them at the railroad
station.
Suddenly the McCarthyites were at
tackled by large body of Parnellites, and
both sides fought desperately with sticks,
clubs, shovels and picks. A detachment
OF mounted police was sent for, and they
spurred their horses in between the two
lines of combatants striking right and lett
with the flat of the sabers amid two cross
ing showers of stones and bricks. A large
number OF wounded lay bleeding and
groaning in the streets before the troopers
restored order. A neighboring hospital
had to find accommodations for many
wounded persons by the time hostilities
were suspended. This evening troops
have formed in the square for the protec-
tion of an open-air meeting to be addressed
by Dillon and O'Brien.
The feeling aroused throughout Ireland
and especially in this city by the recent
political and factional sayings and dolngs
is very bitter and threatens to result in
serious conflicts between the McCarthyites
and Parnellites. There were several
atfrays here yesterday evening at the close
of the various political meetings and sticks
and stones were freely used by both
parties.
DUBLIN, Oct. 27.-The National Press,
McCarthyite organ, referring to the at
tempt to blow up its office last night
with bomb, says that after the ex-
sixty men, supposed to be part of the gang
of Parnellites TO whose credit the outrage
is placed, poured into the National Press
office, shouting: "To hell with the Healy
murderers!" "Is Tim dead?" etc. The
Press adds:
The men who laid the internal machine at
our doors have been taught for the past ten
months by the Freemdus journal and by United
ireland that freedom of opinion is no longer TO
be tolerated and that every opposing Nationalist
may righteously be mobbed and if necessary
murdered. They are the instruments of crime,
who have been educated by their masters to the
cowardly practice of their own precepts of Par
nellism. With the death OF their creator they
have descended to the practices of the nihilists
and the catbonari.
LONDON, Oct. 27.-John Morley, men,
Der of parliament, in speech at Man.
chester last evening, eulogized Parnell.
He spoke of the departed leader as a
powerful and extraordinary personality.
Morley then proceeded to criticise Cham
berlains speech.
