London cable says: Parnell was met
this morning by a Herald reporter at
the Marine hotel, K~lngstown, where he
he had been driven last night on his
release, to avoid Inconvenience manifes-
~tations and sympathy from his friends.
He was accompanied by Mr.. O'Kelly
and Mr.. Dillon. The health of the
latter gentleman seems to have suffered
considerably from his Imprisonment,
but Mr.. Parnell and O'Kelly are in
their usual health. In reply to a ques-
tion by the Herald reporter, Parnell
made thefollowing important announce
ment of his future policy and his rela-
tions with the government of Mr..
Gladstone:
Correspond dent: "Was your release
unexpected, and was it accompanied by
any conditionsp"
Mr.. Parnell: "From the altered tone
Of the ministry in the meeting of par
Lament, we had supposed our release
might have come a few weeks ago, but
we. had no reason to anticipate it so
soon, consequently our release came
upon us very much by surprise. 1t is,
Of course, as stated by Gladstone last
night in the house, entirely uncondi-
tional."
what are your views about Fors-
ter's resignation, and the consequences
likely to spring therefromp"
II consider our release coupled with
Mr.. Forster's resignation, to indicate a
determination on the part of the gov
ernment in the first place to amend the
land act, as far as it may be possible,
during the present session, and Il desire
not to revert to the policy of coercion.
If as a result of this change of policy
there is a prospect of further legisla-
ton, the state of Ireland should be
nationally improved and outrages di-
minished."
do you believe that result will fol-
low conciliatory action?"
Eyes; L shall be very much disap-
pointed If the outrages wi ich have 50
unhappily increased under the influence
of coercion, and the suppression of all
unconstitutional actions should not | Q
materially diminished by a reversion OF
this policy. Certainly no efforts of
mine will be wanting in order to put
an end to outrages and crime. But |
cannot conceal from myself that the
success Of my exertions in this direc-
ton must naturally depend upon the
nature and extent of the remedial leg
islation proposed by the government,
and also on the early unconditional re-
lease OF Michael Davitt and other poI-
ular leaders. Davitt had distinguished
himself by his efforts to keep our cause
u~nstained by extravagances IF any kind,
aud his arrest, more than a year ago,
was a fatal blow to the cause of order
in Ireland"
Whom do you think most likely to
succeed Mr.. Forster?"
81 have no means of forming an
opinion on that point, but think he
ought to be a strong man, one who is
in accord and with real liberal thought,
who from his position, and character,
would be supported by public opinion
in carrying out measures of reform
which he might regard necessary for
the peace and welfare of Ireland. Such
a statesman would estimate at its true
value the influence of Dublin castle,
which proved 30 fatal to Forster, and
would see the necessity for the partici-
patton of Irishmen under some repre-
sentative. system, in the management of
their own affairs. l look for the aboli-
ton of the system of military legisla-
ton and military police, to whose pro-
~vocative action and attitudes much of
the discord and many outrages are
due.n
do you consider that the prospects
for self government in Ireland have
been improved by the change In the
governments policy?"
Undoubtedly; l believe the change
to indicate a desire on the part of the
government to examine into and discuss
this great question with us, with a
view to its solution, and a growing be-
lief on their part that on the satisfac-
tory solution of this question, after the
land problem has been worked out,
must depend the peace and prosperity
of Ireland"
