A Most Cordial Greeting Ac- corded Them. Governor Hill and Mayor Grant Extend Official Courtesies. The Fugitives Recount Their Recent Experiences and Discourse on Irish Affairs. Associated Press Dispatches. New York, Nov. 2. —William O'Brien and wile, T. D. Sullivan and wife, John Dillon and Timothy Harrington arrived this morning on the steamer La Cham pagne. A reception committee, repre senting various Irish societies, met them at quarantine, and when the steamer arrived at the dock a reception was held, after which the visitors went to the Hoffman house, and Governor Hill was one of the first to call upon them. He warmly welcomed them to the city and state, expressed sympathy with their cause, and signed his name to the ad dress of welcome prepared by the Irish societies, and Mayor Grant did the same. Eugene Kelly and Joseph J. O'Donahue were also among the callers. Feeling of the Irish People. In a talk with newspaper men O'Brien said out of forty by-elections held in Great Britain since the assembltng of the present parliament, fourteen had been won by the borne rule party. This was a fair indication of the feeling of the Irish people on the question. He believed the Tories would be forced to dissolve parliament sooner than they anticipated. The government, he said, was not taking proper measures; for, it denied that famine existed, and now ad mitted that there was deep distress in the country, by proposing measures for relief. O'Brien also read an address on the situation of Irish affairs, and the pur port of the visit of himself and fellow travellers to America. "We are coming to America," tbe address said, "by the desire and with the approval of l'arnell and the Irish parliamentary party." O'Brien stated that there was absolute unity in the ranks of the parliamentary party and among the people. The old taunt of instability of purpose could no longer be thrown at Ireland. The Fugitives' Experience. Speaking of the experience of Dillon and himself, O'Brien said they were well watched by the police and spies. When they took a special train at Lim erick, the police took another special train in order to keep them continually in sight. Yet they were caught nap ping. Neither bribes or threats induced any one to tell the police of their de parture, and Balfour's sytem of espi onage was wasted. "The government cannot trust its own servants," continued O'Brien. "Why, on the day before we were arrested, Dillon wrote me informing me what was going to take place, although it was supposed to be a castla secret. "We waited in Tipperary so long as there seemed the least chance of forcing a prompt disposal of the charge. As soon as the tactics of the government were quite clear, we took leave to tum ble their elaborate house of cards about their ears, and came away to appeal to America against Balfour's ignoble dodge for starving out the tenantry whom he has failed to intimidate. We will, of course, return the moment our business here is finished. If we shall have in the meantime secured the means of preserv ing the Irish ranks unbroken until the general election, we will not grudge Bal four whatever comfort he can derive from keeping us in jail for our success. The Tory Policy. "The essence of the Tory policy in Ire land is land purchase on the landlord's own terms. To effect this the tenants' combination had to be stamped out. The tenants once smashed and disorganized under the terror of coercion, a cabinet o( landlords and landlyrd tribunals could arrange the rest at will. It was with the view to crushing the tenants' com bination that all thep'osecutions,>baton ings and police outrages took place, and it was to prevent this that the Irish rep resentatives came here." Exultant Calculations. "The London Times has exultantly calculated," continues the address, "that Balfour's policy has cost the tenantß' defense fund £60,000 a year, and that it cost us £20,000 more to build New Tip perary. They calculated that the Irish people at home who last year subscribed £6000 for the evicted tenants' fund, would not be able to come to the rescue this year, and that we must therefore appeal to America,. Hence the Tippe rary arrests on the eve of our 'depart ure. If the tenants would be broken by the terrorism of starvation, the govern ment could carry whatever land pur chase scheme they pleased, and go to the country with triumph over the suc cess of coercion. On the other hand, if Balfour has to face the general election with the confession that the landlords' syndicates, with all their power, fail to break the spirit of a couple of dozen bodies of Irish tenantry alter all these years of merciless repression, the co ercion policy, already disliked, will be overwhelmed at the polls." Watching the Situation. "For the present, the question of a national fighting fund and a charitable fund are wholly separate. Tire danger of famine along the western portion of the seaboard is unquestionably real and horrible. The Irish party are watching the situation with the utmost solicitude. The bill which they have called for— suspending evictions for the non-pay ment of rent on small holdings—com bined with a more liberal administration of the poor laws, would go far to avert any danger of a general famine. "The opinion of the Irish party is that any general American fund, poured into Ireland at this time, would prooably have the effect of continuing Balfour in his policy of leaving the relief of distress to private initiative, and afterwards boasting that the distress was imagin ary, while large sums disbursed with an imperfect knowledge of the circumstan ces of the country, would inevitably find its way into the pockets of the landlords, whom the Jprospects of American alms would encourage to extort rent from their famished tenantry." A Reception to the Delegates. This evening the Parliamentary Fund association gave a reception to the dele gates at the Hoffman house, about two hundred invited guests being present. Among them were Eugene Kelly, Hon. Robert Roosevelt, Judges Morgan, Gib son and Fitzgerald, Mayor Grant, ex-Mayor Grace, Bourke Cockran, Gen eral O'Birne and President Gleason, of the municipal council of tlie Na tional League. An address of wel come was read by James O'Gor man, expressing the deepest sympathy of all true Irish-Americans and all lib eral Americans for the Irish cause. It was signed by Governor Hill, Mayor Grant and the chief officers of the Irish societies. Each of the delegates spoke briefly. Dillon made a stirring appeal for aid, and pictured the condition of his own constituency. O'Brien said he asked that his men be not struck down in the last hour of winning a bat tle, when American hearts and purses could save them. T. D. Sullivan said sympathy for the cause was growing in England and prejudice passing away. The Story of the Escape. O'Brien told the reporters the story of the escape of Dillon and himself, and apparently enjoyed the telling of it. Dillon helped him with the narrative. They walked from Dublin, O'Brien said, down to Dalkey, a small port near Dub lin, in company with Clancy, sub sheriff of Dublin. They dined at the house of Timothy Healy. Then they boarded the yacht St. "Patrick, commanded by Captain Michael Mur phy, and set sail for France. They were becalmed for several days, and had sev eral narrow escapes of being discovered by English revenue cutters. The royal yacht Adelaide, irom Falmouth, "lay close by in one of the calms, and the fu gitives could see her crew watch the St. Patrick. PACIFIC COAST NEWS.

"The pupils of the Jesuits," he said, "were beginning to swarm in the .military colleges, and the republic was threatened to become a clerical government after the most bigoted pattern of the South American republics.
