Liberal Leaders Anxious for a
Reconciliation Of the Irish
Factions.
Present DissensiOn Viewed as
Extremely Dangerous to
Success.

Tim Healy and His venom
the Only Obstacle to an
Agreement.

LONDON. June 1.-THE absorbing
question in Liberal circles is whether
the Irish Nationalist will go into the
general election in their present divided
condition or will conclude to unite.
There is feeling among the Liberal
leaders which they do not hesitate to
express that division IN the Irish ranks
means defeat for the Liberal party in
Great Britain.
The appeal of the Ulster Professionals
Is making strong impression upon the
British non-comformist and it will be
difficult to hold the Liberal party for
Irish home rulei unless it is shown not
only that an whelming majority of
the Irish are for home rule, but also that
home rule would mean something be-
sides discord and strife. While the Nc
earthly, or majority faction of the Irish
Nationalist complains that the Parnell-
ties are not willing to come to an under
standing, the Parnelites answer that so
long as Timothy Healy continues to
abuse both the living and dead, SO long
they would only he
Degrading Themselves
is at present the real leader of the Nc
Carthyites. The Parnellites assert that
it was Healy'S venOmous tongue that
drove Parnell to his grave; that he
spared neither Parnell nor Mrs. Par
nell, nor even ParnelPs sister, in his
more than brutal criticisms, and that he
made himself, by his venom, unworthy
of association with self-respecting Irish
men.
The Parnellites declare that, while
Healy remains at the front as leader of
the McCarthyiteS, 1t would be asking
them too much to join with party that
accepts such leadership. Certain prom
inent McCarthyites, on the-other hand.
have privately suggested to the Par
nellites that they would like to get rid
Of Healy, but are unable to do SO. but
that if the Parnellites would unite with
them, the opposition would be strong
enough to get rid of him. So far these
arguments have not produced any re-
suit favorable to reunion, and there is
every prospect of a three-cOnnered
fight in the coming election, with con-
siderable gain of seats for the Tories.
Mediators Talked Of.
The negotiations for a a reconcilia-
ton, which were revived by Gen. Col
Inns visit, have finally failed. The
deadlock arises from the belief of the
McCarthyite party that they will gain
several seats at the elections and the
determination of the Parnellites to main
tain the relative strength of the parties
as a basis of truce. In Mr.. Redmond'S
absence Mr.. Harrington has authority
to negotiate with Arch bishop CrOke and
the lord mayor of Dublin, who are said
to be willing TO accept the task Of me-
diatiOn
Archbishop Croke opposes Archbishop
Walsh's support of Mr.. Healy. The
bishops are. in fact, divided into three
secuOns-adherents of Mr.. Dillon. adj
herents of Mr.. Healy, and those holding
that 1t is Injurious to the interests OF
the church to interfere with politics.
The opening of the law courts, it is
said. will see new development in re-
gard to the Paris funds. Mr.. LoWden,
one of the originators of the Land
league, has put in claim on behalf of
the old league trustees. Mr.. Lowden's
affidavit would prevent either side hav-
ing access to the money. In the mean
time, Banker Monroe has declared that
he would not part with the money until
the French courts decided the matter,
the English courts having no jurisdic-
ton in France.
