versing with Mr. Peel on beginning his re-
marks seconding the motion for the latter's

that no discordsnt note would be heard
during the vote and Mr.. Peels induction

the opening of Parliament by commission
and the clerk read the letters patent. rhe
proceedings occupied 20 minutes The

mittee room and reelected Justin Mccarthy
as Sessional Chairman; Mr.. Deasy, Sir T.
Esmond, Mr.. Molloy and DIR. Tanner as
whips, and Arthur O'Connor and Donald
Sullivan as Secretaries The meeting then
balloted for eight members of the E1ecu-
tive Committee, the following being chosen,
Messrs. Blake, Davitt, Dillon, M. Healy,
William O'Brien, Arthur O'Connor, T. p.
O'Connor and Mr.. Sexton.
Mr.. Mccarthy was reelected as mere
| fgurehead to keep differences in abeyance.
The rival leaders have personally less
authority than ever. They cannot answer
kilograms about the position without sub
mitting them to the real working chiefs.
The McCarthyites will meet again to-mor-
row. 1t has been decided that they shall
continue to sit on the opposition side Of the
House, though they will cooperate With
the Glad stonians on the home rule bill.
