He thought the manifesto wouldcarry great weight, both in Ireland and America. He agreed en. tirely with the views • it. eapreeste4,. both, politically and orally ; 'hut Parnell's; retire. ment should be `made compulsory on those of moral grounds, politics being a secondary ooneideration. Parnell's followers, how- ever, were justified in demanding his resig- nation on political grounds alone. The Standard says the English people cannot longer regard the quarrel with indifference. It is amazed that Gladstone has consented to negotiate these questions. than in the generaleblp of the last two days. 'Mr. Tim Healy and the leader Came into aomewhat violent collision today, and had bad blood inoreaaee On both aides. Mr. Healy is for•showing no quarter and taking none.

The com- amiti�ee:had no alternative but to return and report the check to the Irish party. .Another meeting wee summoned and held Without delay in room 15. The obnoxious Words, were expunged from the resolution Lind a deputation instructed to seek another interview with Mr. Gladstone. Meanwhile Mr. Gladstone remained in hitt house talk- ' to Bir Wm. Harcourt and Mr. Morley. I y`nderetand Sir William strongly opposed lifientering into any further negotiations T any terms whatever. Mr. Morley was trying all that could be done to effect a Cpmpromiee. Brisk efforts are now being made to draw ir. Gladstone into another meeting, but *teethed to feel ateeltrape all around him ', and eat tight. Mr. Morley wentbaokwarde land forwards ;several timee, one of hie communications being received by Mr. Gladstone with emphatio ',hakes of the head, whilo Sir William Harcourt gestic- ulated in an excited manner.

I* is learned that Mr. Gladstone at the conference with the Iriah delegation ung-. geeted a modiflaation on the Clancy resolu- tion.

Mr; b ` Belden seconded the.motion, which was o earried with,only two opposing votes, Measra. Chance and Barry. The meeting then adjourned, and the i deputation immediately sought Mr Glad- atone and imparted to him the new'resolu- tion. Mr. Gladstone at once convoked an t informal meeting of all hie colleegtgree with wheat he could communicate. Sir William 'e 8araourt, Mr. Morley, Earl Granville, i Lord Herschel, Mr. Arnold Morleyand f t othere responded. Soon after this cnfer- a erica met Mr. Gladstone intimated through o the party whips that a second interview t with the Iriah deputation was unnecessary, their resolution and the written statement Of the committee having put him in fall a possession of the facto.

The Catholic News has received from its Dublin oorrespondent,.Thos. Sherlook, an Iriah journalist, whose relations with the Nationalist members ot. Parliament are very close, a despatch which says : " On authority which I have good reason to eon,- eider ons eider excellent I make the statement that Mr. Parnell has assured at least two mem- bers of the Iriah Parliamentary party that the charge made against him by Captain O'Shea is utterly without foundation in fact, and that he looks forward to a near time when he will be able to prove as much, with good results to the Irish cause. These two members are convinced that Mr. Parnell is simply biding his own time to vindicate himself at the preoiae moment when the vindication will have more effeot for Ireland." The.despatoh ;hakes' men- tion of " the private statement of a servant who lived with Mre.

Without hesitation or doubt, and in the plainest possible terms, we give it as our nnanimene judgment that, who- ever else is fitted to fill that highly respon- sible poeition, Mr. Parnell. is decidedly -not. As the pastors of a Catholic nation we do not base this, our judgment and solemn declaration, on political grounds, but simply and solely on the facts and oironmstanoes as reveled in a London- divorce court. After the verdict given in court we cannot regard Mr. Parnell in any other light than as a min convicted of one of the gravest offences known to religious society. Aggra- vated, as it is in hie case, by almost every oironmatenoe that could possibly attach to. it so as to give it aoandalone pre-eminence in guilt and shame surely 0atholio Ireland, so eminently conspicuous for the virtue and purity of its social life, will not accept as its leader a man thus dishonored and wholly unworthy of Christian confidence. And farther, as Irishmen who are devoted to our country and eager for its elevation, and earnestly intent on seonring for it the benefits of domestic legislation-, we Cannot but be impressed by the conviction that a ontinnance of Mr. Parnell se leader of even a section of the Irish party+must have the ffeot of disorganizing our ranke and rang - ng in the hostile camps the hitherto. united foroes of our country.

To Justin McCarthy, M. P., .Vice -Chairman of the Iriah-Parliamentary party : The -manifesto which Mr. Parnell has just issued cute us o$ from the last hope to which we clung. Anxious' to avoid any word that might embitter the controversy, we ehall not dwell upon the cruel injustice with which he treats the members of the party that have fol- lowed him with a loyalty and affection such as no leader ever experienced before. His recol- lection of this fealty to him in many an hour of trial might tea_ have saved them from n minutes before the arrival of the delegation, Mr. Morley, Sir William on Harcourt E 1 S ar pence/. and Earl nvilie, who had been conferring with Gladstone, took their departure. ater.—The conference between the oh Committee and Mr. Gladstone lasted hour, and . on its conclusion the dele- sten returned to the room in the House of ommons in which the proceeding° of the ationalists are being bold. Tho Chronicle publishes an interview •means wholly -gone out. e?sty o`"i` app1 y Liberal wire -pullers, nor would we do more than enter a protest against this violationof_all in- stitutional principle in flouting by anticipation e decision of the elected representatives of th people from whose votes the chairman of the �if rliamentary party receives hie authority, and resorting to a vague general appeal over their heads. Considerations like these we should readily have waived in the interest of national solidar- ity, but the method in which, ignoring the origin of the present calamitous situation, Mr. Parnell endeavored to fasten the responsibility for it upon Messrs Gladstone and Morley, compels us to dissociate ourselves in the strongest manner from an imputation which we believe to be reck- less and unjust. We consider it unjust to the English people and lamentable from the point of view of inter- national good feeling to describe as English wolves howling for his destruction those who have not been aisle to bring themselves to the same view to which gratitude and the necessity' for union impelled Mr. Parnell's own colleagues and countrymen. Whatever differences of opinion may exist as to the haste with which Mr• Gladstone's letter was communicated to the public, it was ob- viously not his hostility to home rule, but his earnest desire to save it from disaster that prompted Mr. Gladstone to write his letter.' We have now to confront the statement that Mr. Parnell's leadership opens an impassable gulf between the representatives of Ireland and the, Liberal piny who have faithfully ob- served their part of the agreement as to the national claims of Ireland, and the.situation is aggravated by deplore Ole expressions of ill -feel- ing toward the British people, who have again an d asain, within the past five years, manifested their determination to do justice to Ireland. and have by their votes, paralyzed the arm of coercion. In deliberately bringing things to this position, Mr. Parnell bas entered upon a rash and fatal path upon which ever y eon- sidera'ion .of Ireland's safety, as well all of per- sonal honor, forbids us absolutely to follow him. In the fut re of a party thus isolated and discredited. we ou,nnot iIn inA bow_any—Ixish man can see anything but destruction of the hopes of self-government, happiness and peace which, lint a /ow weeks ago, were on the point of being realized for our people, so tried by manv years of eacrifiee and suffering. What Mr. Parnell asks us to do, s ripped of all side issues, is to sacrifice all the hopes of an early settlementofthe Irish struggle to his resolution to maintain his personal position. We are driven to choose between our leader and our cause. In that sad service we cannot hesitate. -- JOHN DILLON, WM. O'BRIEN, THOMAS O'CONNOR, T. D. SULLIVAN, THOMAS P. GILL.

The Blood of Sats and Rabbits Cures L iph- theria and Tetanus. A Berlin cable says The latest develop./ menta of Prof. Koch'' (recovery of a onre for diphtheria and tetanus have been limited to test experiments with animals until Friday, when the remedy was applied to several human aubjeote through the transfusion of blood from animals not easoeptible to the diphtheria bacillar or to tetanus. Drs. Behring and Kilaserto found the blood of rats and mine had a destruc- tive effeot on the virus of diphtheria, while the blood of rabbits transfused had a similar effect on tetanus. Before trans- fusion the blood must' be freed •of its coagulum and otherwise prepared. The Deutsche Medizinisehe Wochenachrift promises to explain the method fully,, no eeoreoy being observed in regard'to the remedy. But Canada Has the Nickel. A Pittsburg despatch says: Thos. Har- rington, of Allegheny, has suooessfnlly demonstrated the possibility of thoroughly fusing steel and nickel. He oast an ingot from a pot charged for 'spring steel, having added about 3 per cent. of nickel and a certain ffux. A piece ten inches' long was tested and showed a tensile strength of 1,531,350 pounds and an enlongation in two inohes of 2,} per Dent. The result is most significant with regard to the future oom- position of naval armor plate. Harrington says that he can make plates with nickel and steel so strongthat one-half the weight will be saved. He oan treat open -hearth - steel as easily as crucible without at all obttnging the chemical constituents of the mix. A .Typical Lady of the Time. In the latest issue of Harper's Bazar appears the portrait of a typical lady of the time the Empress Augusta Viotoria— from a Berlin photograph of a few weeks ago. The portrait shows an autumn out- door Costume of the beet vogue. The nee of feathers has evidently been quite gen- erous, but artistic withal and very pleasing. The Empress Augusta Victoria is now in her Slat year, and is three months older and somewhat taller than the Emperor ; but her fair end fresh complexion makes her look ,,II younger than her age. An oval face, soft bine eyes., beautiful teeth, and an abundance of blonde hair give her a deoi. dedly agreeable if not positively pretty physiognomy, while she pewees for having smaller feet than those that nature has generously bestowed npon the fisters of. her race. The rough weather gowns for the fall are of frieze and tweed, in the mixed weaves, tend have bright flannel or Serge waistcoats. Felt toques will be more worn with them than, the cloth toques' of a Beeson -or two back, although the latter are by no goy deapafob- last Tues, day says : Think . of building in a Glaegow shipyard a steamer which must be taken to pieces again before 5,000 Afri- cans oan carry her over 500 miles of wild African country and float her on•the inland sea of Victoria Nyanza ! She is the first of a British fleet whioh Messrs. A. & J. Inglie have contracted to build for the British East Africa Company's service. This necessity for building the vessel so as to allow of taking her to pieces again for over- land porterage, makes her progressvery_ slow. After she is• launched and fitted, all the work which is now handled with so much pare must be undone. Before this ship reaches its destination she must be oarried through miles and miles of African forestsand jungles between the coast and the big lake. It is estimated that 5,000 dailies will be required to replaoe the sink, the runaways and unmanageable. The new vessel is commissioned by the Im- perial :British Eaet Africa Company, of whioh Sir William Mackinnon is President. This company will float its own flag, issue its own postage stamps and coin ice own ourrenoy. The first steamer of the fleet is about 120 tone, builders' measurement. She is stoutly built of steel plates bolted with steel bolts on steel frames. The boltswill be, of course, only riveted in their proper holes when the steamer :arrives on the shores of the lake. Each plate, like every other part of the 'steamer, is limited in size to a load which a negro could conveniently carry on bis head, and it is caloulated that with their loads, and in their places, the negro caravan will, when marching in file, extend over three miles. The steamer, - with its plating, is 'pen together with `bolts and nuns to be removed when the parts are taken to pieces and packed aboard the railroad oars, which will carry the steamer in piecemeal to the looks at London, where it wilt bo shipped on board the London and,. Zanzibar direct steamer. Though constructed for the pur- poses of peace this vessel will be armed for rough fighting if it is necessary. She will carry an armament of two Maxim giaehine guns, besides small arms and a hose spe- cially fitted to .throw boiling water from the boiler among warlike natives. The iron plating of the vessel is, of course, proof against rifle or musket balls. On each bow will be up an iron rifle and conning tower. The engines will,drive het at a speed of ten knots, and withandsome and easy lines fore and -aft the steamer should• be easily driven. Het length over all is 80 feet, with 16 feet beam. Tanned canvas sails will be sent with the steamer. LUXURY I1'OR" BAD INDIANS, While the Peaceful Tribes are Loft to Freeze and ntarve.

He had requeeted goo& to make public only to a 11 it'd extent the composition of the lymph,, dr aa to render its imitation impossible. Tough- ing the present preparation of the lymph, Dr. von Goseler said that Prof. Koch and Drs. Libbertz and Pfuhl were occupied solely in providing a supply. After ardu- one researches, extending for a period of six. weeks, it waa found that the lymph could be supplied at a cost of 25 marks per five grammes. An ordinary phtal contains sufficient for 5,000 innooulations, each coat. ing five pfenninge. Regarding the question of planing the manufacture of the lymph under • ' the exclusive control of the Stnte, Dr. Von ' Goseler thought that a feeling of eatiefao- tion would be efperienoed throughout the world if Prussia ehonld set her scamp upon the lymph, but a guarantee must be given against financial or subsidiary condition , The Government would eventually invi< other nations to send representatives to study the nee of the remedy in order that they might apply it in their own countries. Dr. Von Goesler's statement, indicating as it does an intended` p olonged guarding of the eeoret of the lymph, disappoints the numerous foreign medical men assembled here. The English group affirm that it ie hoopelese to expect the college of physioians to recognize the use of the lymph as it ism against the canons of 'the college to permit the application of a remedy the composi- tion of which is a secret.

A Detected Defaulter Suicides Rather Than Go to Trial, An Albany, N. Y., despatch says : Joseph B. Abbott, chief salesman and oonfidential clerk of the lumber firm of H. W. Sage & Co., of this pity, committed suicide some time during Wednesday night, in a room in a building adjoining the Windsor Hotel. He hired the room on Wednesday evening.. This afternoon his dead body was found fully dressed npon the bed. A four •canoe. bottle of laudanum, half emptied, told the - story. He had been dead - many hours. With the news of his death spread there. port that he was a defaulter. It was soon confirmed. The firm refuses information,. but it is ascertained from • other sources that Abbott had spproptiated between $80,000 and $100,000 of the firm's funds, probably by pocketing large collections and falsifying the books. He practically managed the entire businees, and there- ' fore had ample opportunityto steal. The discovery was made when the firm of Reilly & Co., of Philadelphia, sent back bille aggregating $20,000, which a member of the Sage firm had sent on for collection, with the statement that payment had been made to Mr. Abbott. That was on Tnea- day. On . Wednesday a representative of i the .Philadelphia firm arrived and the matter was given into the hande of the looal police. Somehow Abbott got an inkling of something amiss,: and left his desk. The detectives searched for him all day Wednesday, Int failed.to find him,. though he was in the city. Abbott was about 40 years of age, a widower and father of five children, the oldest of whom, a girl, is 15 years of age: 'His habits were extravagant, and though , his salary was $5,000 a year, his friends had long wondered how he could live as he did within that surf.
