HEALY HOLDS THE REINS

Jucbiu b1SSdILny du0 JObu 0hiOh Ah Ao- gard to the circular issued in the name of the Irish party appealing for funds leave the Healyites as greatly dissatisfied as ever. The executive committee of the Irish Ma tional league of Great Britain assume the responsibility for the issuance of the circu- lar, but fiatly deny that they forwarded copy of the letter to MT. Gladstone or to any member of the ministry. Taking this denial for what it is worth, it is inexplica- ble in the face of the now well-known fact that 12, 900 copies of the circular were dis tributed. It was obviously general ap- peal to the English liberals to contribute 10 the Irish parliamentary fund, and Messrs. Mccarthy, Dillon and Tom O. Con- nor must have been cognizant of it.
 The rent assumes the proportions of a matter of first importance as assisting Tim Healy to seize control of the next meeting of the Irish party, when the matter of electing an executive officer to succeed MT. Mccarthy will be accomplished. MT. Mo- Carthy is certain to retire from the presi- dency with the expiration of his term, and Healey apparer''y has it iu his power to name his E. .sor, if not to assume the
 Mr. Sexton msintains discreet Hence in regard to ttes1ew turn of affairs sld the belief Is becoming general that his re- ticence is due to the fact that he has dis covered, as everybody else has, that he compromised himself by his assertion in the course of debate in the house of oom- mons that neither to the government nor to any wealthy English partisan of English home rule has any member of the Irish party been indebted for penny, or will any of them ever be. This declaration is tue theme of sarcastic comment on the part of the unionist organs, and MT. Sexton is, no doubt, ashamed of his positive utter ance in view of the subsequent develop ments.
 Michael Davitt, however, strikes a diff ferent attitude. He warmly defends the acceptance of the contributions of MT. Gladstone and Lord Tweedmouth, and frankly says he wishes that more liberals would follow their example. MT. Davltt refutes the charge of want of appreciation in taking money. No possible humiliation of the Irish party, he declares, is associated with the acceptance of this money any more than there is in the receipt and ap- piication of funds from any other source. He accuses MT. Healy of being malignant enemy 10 the unity of the party, and says that he would make @ model Parnellite of the later school. MT. Healy's suggestion that the contributions of Mir. Gladstone and Lord dTweedmouth ought to be returned to those gentlemen is ridiculed by Mir. Da- witt, who insinuates that Healy, for his own advantage, would not hesitate to &C., cept any man s money.
 The present outlook is that the upshot Of the whole affair will be the triumph of Healy, temporary though it may be. The Healyite members already number thirty in the house of commons, and, as they are likely to obtain accessions through the Gladstone -Tweedmouth affair, they threaten to control the Irish party.
 MT. Healy is making arrangements to start in Dublin daily newspaper, devoted to his in terests.
 In the meantime tue Parnellite mem bers are com placently relying upon the dis ruption of their opponents as a means of strengthening their own position in the coming elections.
 The Yachting World, in an article re- to the likelihood that the latest accident to the Vigilant's center board was due to defective casting. ''Euglish workmen,' it says, 'are not accustomed to bronze center boards, but at the same time it is not unlikely that the first accident to the boat was caused by strain upon some part, of the mechanism, which had been overlooked. Nevertheless it Is remark able coincidence that in each the break down occurred in the same locality while the boat was on the same errand. Perhaps all this comes from sailing on Sunday.
 "Mr. Gould is sportsman and we sym pathize with him in the i'll luck he has sus- tained with his bronze beauty. His trip must havo cost him fabulous amount of dollars .h and the hsa resat in respect of glory is
  giant, but she met another giant who was a trifie her superior. The repeated dam age to her center board does not impress our yGchtsmen with the advantages of the contrivance and few owners of yachts would make such victims as MT. Gould, who has Been compelled to scratch two out of three races, in which he especially de- sired to compete. It was cruel fortune.'
 The Yachting World also notes the fact that the record of the little Hereshof boat | Dakotah shows that out of twenty nine | starts she won twenty six races.
 MT. A. B. Walker, the owner of the | twenty -rater Thelma, has placed an order l at Fife for the construction of racing cut ter larger than the Britannia, with rating | of about 160 tons. Mir. Walkers brother | has ordered a forty-rater of Watson's de- | sign.
 Certain resolutions passed by the trades' union congress, which has been sitting at | Norwich throughout the week, have placed l British workingmen at great disadvant- | age. In an article endeavoring to excuse l them the thoroughgoing radical Chronicle | admits that 1t is staggered by the crude | gress and thinks that the delegates have | been seeing visions.
 The Chronicle expresses the hope that l things political have not been banished l with the advent of the congress- millenn nial l  : The Westminster Gazette excuses the | congress for it's acts, as under passing | mood of spiritual exaltation 1t has hation1 alized everything, thinking 1t possible to benefit labor by imprisoning employers II they try to get their work done outside of | local unions.
