WITH PARNELL.


Mr.. Parnell was met this morning by a
| Herald representative at the Marine Hotel
Kingstown, where he had driven last night
on his release TO avoid ineonvenient mani
| festations and sympathy from his friends
| He was accompanied by Mr.. O'Kelly and
| Mr.. Dillon. The health of the latter gentle
man seems to have suffered considerably from
| his imprisonment but Mr.. Parnell and Mr.
OKelly are in their usual health. In reply
| to a question by the Herald representative,
Mr.. Parnell made the following important
| announcements of his future policy and his
relations with the government of Mr.. Glad
stone:
Correspondent-Was your release unex-
pected and was it accompanied by any con-
ditions?
Mr.. Parnell-From the altered tone of
the ministry since the meeting of Parliament
we had supposed that our release might have
come after few weeks, but we hal no rea-
son to anticipate it so soon. Consequently
our release came upon US very much by sur
prise. 1t il, of course, as stated by Mr..
Gladstone last night in the House, entirely I'M
conditional
Correspondent-What are you views about
MIR. Forsters resignation and the conse-
quences likely to spring therefrom?
Mr. Parnell-I consider our release,
coupled with Mr.. Forster's resignation, to
Indicate determination on the part of the
government in the first place 10 amend the
Land act, as far may be possible during
the present session, and desire not to re-
vert to the policy OF coercion, if, as result
of their change of policy and prospect OF
further remedial legislation, the state OF
Ireland should be materially improved and
outrages diminish.
Correspondent-Do you believe that that
result will follow conciliatory action?
NJ Il l.
disappointed if the outrages which have SO
unhappily increased under the influences of
coercion, and the suppression of all constitu-
honal action should not be very materially
diminished by a reversion of this policy.
Certainly no efforts of mine will be wanting
in order TO put an end to outrage and crime;
but | cannot conceal from myself that the
success of my exertions in this direction
must materially depend upon the nature and
extent of the remedial legislation proposed
by the government and also upon the early
unconditional release of Michael DavItt and
other popular leaders. Davitt had distin-
guished himself by his effefts to keep our
cause unstained by excuses of any kind, and
his arrest more than year ago was a fatal
blow to the cause of order in Ireland. e
Correspondent-Who do you think most
likely to succeed Mr.. Forster?
Mr.. Parnell-I have no means of forming
an opinion on that point, but think he ought
to be strong man, one who is in accord
with real liberal thought, who from his posi-
ton and character would be supported by
public opinion in carrying tho measures OF
reform he might regard necessary for the
peace and well being of Ireland. Such
statesman would estimate at its true value
the influences OF Dublin Castle, which proved
fatal to Mr.. Forster, and would see
the necessity for the participation of
Irishmen, under some representative
system, in the management of their
own affairs in accordance with the
wishes of the majority. As one of
the results of the improved condi-
ton OF the country which / look forward TO,
should hope for the abolition of the sys-
tenn OF military magistrates and military
police, to whose provocative actions and atti-
tude much of the disorder and many of the
outrages are due.
Correspohdent-Do you consider that the
prospects for self government in Ireland have
been improved by the change in the govern
ment's policy?
Mr.. Parnell-Undoubtedly / believe the
change TO indicate 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 belief on their
part that upon the satisfactory solution of
this question. after the land problem has
been worked out, must depend the peace and
Of Ireland.
