bly, on the Irish political situation than any |
thing that has appeared since Mr.. Parnel |
and Mr. OBrien fret met in conference.
pIRsT AUTHENTIC STATEMENT.
| Ills the first authentic statement 10 the
effect that difficulties have arisen in neg0- |
| tiatiOns going on between MIR. Psrnell and /
hr. O'Brien. Many Irish Nationalist here
regard Mr.. Dillon's statement as indicating |
| that there 10 little prospect OF a mutually |
satisfactory settlement being arrived at. 1t |
Is argued that il Parnell and O'Brien cannot |
effect an agreement, Dillon will not be
likely % sbcccea in doing what O'Brien up
TO the present finds impossible. 1t is the
general impression OF Irish Nationalist
that If settlement is not affected soon it |
will be impossible to establish the Irish |
| Parliame ltary party on do sound a footing |
| as ~ ws5 before the split. T. i. OCOnnOT |
| will stay here for several weeks more.
