His Plans tn America.
New York, Jan. 2-Parnell in an inter-
view says: L conider that the British
government ought to relieve the distress
in Ireland, and we have been watching and
waiting to see whether the government
would fulfill is duty in this respect. Find
ing that i, did not, the land league decided,
just before left Ireland, TO receive snbscrip.
lions for distress, and we feel impelled
to say, although our primary object is to
raise money in aid Of the land league,
that If any charitable Americans desire to
entrust us with funds for the relief Of poor
in Ireland We shall be happy to receive
them and apply the money through our
local organizations according to the wishes
of the donors; but it would not be necessary
for me to come to the United States simply
to ask for assistance for the
distressed Irish. America would
send relief as soon as she knew Of the dis
tress. In the famine of 1S47 she sent assis-
tance to Ireland before England, and she
has done the same this time. Parnell in.
tends in a lecture to give brief history of
the land question up TO the present time, and
u Description Of the use and progress of the
present land movement. He adds: l ex-
pcct to remain in New York few days to
attend meeting which understand has
been arranged for; after that much will
depend on the plan made fer us by the
American company, but expect to go next
to~Bos.on, then to Philadelphia, after which

around to St. Louis, then shall probably
go to Chicago. From this point
my plans are uncertain, as wish to go TO
Canada and San Francisco, and do not
know whether can do both or not. shall
do my best TO 20 to San Francisco, and may
perh ,ps visit Canada before going west.
Mr.. Dillon will accompany me throughout,
and hope to be able to induce him to re-
main behind when leave America to con-
tlnue the work, but my return will depend
on events at home.

Parnel, the Irish land reform agitrtor, in
the name oi the northwestern states, which
represent la great measure the farming
and producing interests ot our country.
The New York committee also presented an
address of welcome.
Mr.. Paruell replying to the addresses,
spoke as follows:

the opportunity has really cnme for the

calling upon the government for eigh
months to relieve that distress. but it hs:
only been within the last few days the Eng
lish government has agreed to admit there
is any distress. This was brought to tbei
uotice by letter from the Duchess o
Marlborough, wife of the lord lieutenant
which stated that there was going TO be
famine aud d!re distress during the coming
winter. 1t is what we have warned tn,
government and people at home ant
abroad for some time and onl
now that it is too we'll spread for almost an.
effectual remedy, do those rulers in Englan
appear to understand at all their responsi

great land question, and have taken tn
responsibility off the shoulders Of govern

appeal to the governmen, for the relief

cannot longer shut ourselves to the tel
