HAHNKLI. STIl.l, rhillTIXC. Drill.IN, Dec. 12. Yesterday morning Mr. Parnell proceeded to the oillce of United Ireland'and with tho assistance of a crowd of his supporters he forced open the doors and took possession, ejecting eight rough-looking fellows who had been detailed as guard by tho anU-Parnellires. The noli ro witnessed ttie atlair, hut did not interfere in any way. After lie had succeeded in recapturing tho ollioe Mr. Parnell wont to a window and addressed the crowd outside. He said that he would fight the battle to the last, that he would only allow the country to decido tho issue, and that he would submit to tho dictation of no man. lie appeared to bo fiercely excited, and to have lost his usual self-con'rol.

To guard against any further attempt on tho part of Mr. Parnell's opponents to recapture th'1 oillce. no one was allowed to enter and th" doors and windows wero closely bolted and barred. Mr. Parnell \v is accompanied bv the stafT of editors ho appointed Wednesday, and when tho ofllc.e was secured against intruder*, all conversation with outsiders was carried on turough a keyhole. When Mr. Parnell made the assault upon the oflice. he himself was awned with a crowbar, which he used in forcing the front, door. In the afternoon Mr. Parnell started for fork.

At Cork an immense crowd had gathBred, and the arrival of tho train was tho signal for an extraordinary outburst of enthusiasm. An address from the National League was presented to him in the Chamber of Commerce, whero tremendous crowd had gathered to greet him. After a storm of cheers Mr. Parnell, in reply to an address, Ipoke in the vein that marked his Dublin speech.

LONDON. Dec. 12. Mr. Gladstone has

?tetford

'ono to his home at lluwardon. At1 he addressed a meeting of 2,000 DAi'sons. Hi? said the continuance of Mr. Parnell in the Irish leadership would bo fatal to home rule in England, Scotland and Wales. Parnell was 110 longer the leader of the Irish Nationalists, who had separated them »otves trom him. lie (Gladstone) admitted that the Irish party ought to be independent, and that the consideration and settlement, of this question ought to he left to them but there was •^nothing beyond all considerations in Irish politics.' namely, the great causo of Liberalism in England. Ireland and Scotland.

The confident• communications between the Liberal and Home Rule parties and the conversation with Mr. Parnell at Hawarden in November, IbRP, ho said, were equally satisfactory to both parties, a fact that was proved not by himself, because be had no reason publicly to speak about It, but by the other party. He believed that the O'Shea divorce proceedings would entirely destroy tho moral force needed in Ireland for any one who would be vho leading champion of the National causo. The Liberals felt that in granting home rule, they constituted tho Irish leader the constitutional ruler of Ireland. The Liberals were unwilling, after what had happened in the divorce court, relative to the private and public conduct of Mr. Parnell, to rnako |him the constitutional Governor of Ireland. It was absolutely untrue that Mr. Morloy had suggested that Mr. ParneH hold oilico under tho Hritish crown before home rule was conceded. The Liberal party's work in Parliament was to resist coercion in Iroland, and that work was as sacked and as urgent now as it had ever been, no matter who might be the leader of tho Irish party.

MOItK MANIFESTO*.

NRW YOICK, Dec. 12.—The Irish "envoys" have issued a long address to the American people upon the Issue between Parnell and his opponents. The manifesto is signed by all but Harrington. It goes on to restate the position of the envoys on the controversy between Parnell and Gladstone in much the same words as wen? used in the Chicago manifesto. In conclusion it says: "Finally our catiM: esicc rcscued from its preheat dtmrily jwrtl, our race may re*t assented thM iioihinj* which tb» toiuloniMyh of devoted colleagues can do will tx loft undone t« JMMI! whatever wotnids rxav have been inflicted In tie* hoat of stnfuii'J to do justice to Mr. I'urnelt's cenius in Mb worlc. so that liiMorv nuiy drop ie ir over tho orror of a pus^onute ho.ir and may lumfni bor only the. fivcat Irishman umi Kirn l'?ad"»\ who found ho Irish e^usc pjmipcd in dc sp,ijr and wuose urn has lifted that entire to tin* pinnacle of po»«T and triumph."
