New York.

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.

Paris, Nov. 2.—The official liquidator
jof the Panama Canal company, denies
that the negotations of Wyse with the
Colombian government, for an exten
sion of the canal concessions, have been
J ruptured. He admits, however,

ment with Colombia is slow and full of
difficulty. Reliable advices from the

Washington, Nov. 2. —During the past
week thirty-four carloads of nickel ore
from Canada have been received at the
navy yard, and are awaiting the further
disposition of the ordnance department.
The ore is in the rough, just as it came
from the mines. It will have to be
smelted, and will be kept in the yard
until arrangements for the separation
of the nickel from the baser elements are
made. The nickel will probably be used
for the tests now going on looking to the
more extensive use oi nickel as an alloy
for armor plate. As the quantity will
be very large, even after it has been re
duced, there is enough metal to last for
same time.

the whole of his case against the rear
guard, instead of waiting until every
thing is said from the other side.
His present course, the writer says,
gives Stanley the advantage of rep
resenting a case for dead men to
answer. Had they been living, Stanley
would have been compelled to substan
tiate his insinuations in a court of law,
but now there is no appeal, except to
the bar of public opinion. The writer
adds: "I have had too sad an experi

A NBW CKI'SAhE.
Pere Hyaeinthe Make* War on Clesieal
ism In France.
Paris, Nov. 2. —Pere Hyaeinthe today
commenced a campaign against cleri
calism in his own church, with a vigo*
ous address. He said the republic was
firmly established, but after a lease
and after a leaning toward athe
ism, there was danger of laps
ing into clericalism. "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. He thought this due to re
publicans shutting their eyes to the
power of religion in society, and advo
cated national churches, rejecting the
authority of the pope, allowing priests to
marry and abolishing the confessional.
Mrs. Hogg- and Baby Bnried.
London, Nov. 2.—The funeral of Mrs.
Hogg and baby, who were murdered by
Mrs. Piercey, in South Hampstead,
October 24th, took place today and was
attended by an enormous crowd. The
husband of the murdered woman, whose
relations with Mrs. Piercey were the
prime cause of the tragedy,"was among
the mourners. He was the object of
many threatening utterances.
A Church Taken By Force.
Constantinople, Nov. 2.—A crowd of
Cephalonians forced their way into a
Greek church at Galeta today and per
formed their devotions by themselves in
the absence of a priest, as a protest
against the recent closing of Greek
churches. The police at first offered re
sistance, but soon yielded to the people.
Choctaw Citizenship.
Paris, Texas* Nov. 2.—The bill dis
franchising any member of the Choctaw
Indians, either by blood, adoption or
marriage into the* tribe, who has taken
or may hereafter take the oath of al
legiance to the government of the United
States .has passed both houses, and re
ceived the approval of the governor.
The Victims at Vita.
London, Nov. 2. —The fleet has re
turned to Zanzibar from Vitu. The total
number of British wounded in the recent

being slaves and natives, not Arabs, as
reported.
France Honors Garibaldi.
Paris, Nov. 2.—The fund for a monu
ment in honor of Garibaldi is receiving

I that shows that better feeling toward
Italy exists among the French people.
