PARIS. July l7.-Treasurer Eagan, Of
the Irish Land League, has been inter-
viewed. He says: Il believe the nation-
alization scheme proposed by Davitt is
the only scientific settlement of the
land question. but l think Davitt was
premature in bringing it forward at
this particular moment. Nationalist
ZION of land in Ireland must be preceded
by obtaining an Irish Parliament. The
policy of the Land League has been
Gle irly settled by conventions which
have sos fully considered the question
that no change of importance should be
made without the endorsement of con-
vention similar to those held already. l
am an Irish nationalist, and my first
and only allegiance is due TO Ireland.

~ impossible. The English hate us as
race, and We reciproc,te the feeling
heartily. The hatred of Ensland has
been the strength and foundation of the
Land League. Ny friend Davitt, how
ever. is fairly entitlcd to his own opin-
ions"
