ciaton TINS afternoon, Mr.. Parnell, refer
ring to the attacks made upon him in the
i'7"t Times and Daily Express! III whicl, it
II was alleged that the Land League man
ayers had msapproprjaicd nincly.eisl.t
thousand pounds Of Land League funds,
ne said there WAS mot a word Of truth in
The assertiop., He believed that the attack
was made at the instigatiou Of the Glad
stone government, whose purpose was 10
influence tho coming elections against the
Parnell party, knowing well that. il the
Land Leaglers maintained or increased
their representation and were refused con.
ecssions they demanded, ut the next Par.
ilament the same tactics OF obstruction
would be pursued, and the government
thereby placed in the same ridiculous posi-
ton occupied during the last Parliament,
In referring TO the charge that the money
collected from the poor Irish all over the
world was being used by the leaders Of the
League Tor their own private purposes, Mr.,
lArnell said it was well known that Two
separate collections we're made, the' funds
Of one being devoted to the relief OF eyicted
farmers and itenants, while these. OF the
Other were used to further tho election of
members OF Parliament pledged to support
the Land League movement. The unscru-
bulous use Of money by the government in
parliamentary elections lind, in some ill.,
stances, rendered necessary heavy out
iavs 10 insure n return OF men pledged
10 the cause Of OF Ireland. The charges
were probably based on m error OF
confounding payments for such proper and
necessary expenses which were made in
exact confirmation with the original condi-
tlons under which the fund was created
with sums applied to otker and equally i'm.
nortant objects comprised within another
branch Of the Land League programme.
In conclusion, Mr.. Parnell said That PIT.
rick Egan, treaEurer OF the Land League,
would shortly make detailed state,nent
Of all receipis and expenditures of the land

LONDON, October o:.-An ANONYMOUS

writer, who pretended to base his conclu.
salons on, The reports Of the financial stand

appeared from, time to time in Dublin
papers, and comparison oi.he same with
Egan's statement 10 the National Confer
ence, that there was an under estimate by
Egan OF the receipts for the general fund
OF the. Land League ol .e25, 1855, and an
over estimate Of legitimate exrelse, by

All threegentlemen point to tie fact of The

is signed, rs one used by
Arnold Forster in his pamphlet at.
TACK on the League, which like this
one, was first sent to those organs

besides scouting tho charges as false, en-.
tered, into an explanation with legard 10
certain paragraphs, in tho communication
IN regard TO the accusation in the letter
That Egan, though taking credit for relief.
etc, afforded through the Ladies' Land
League, did not give any account OF the
money received through it. Dayitt ex.
plains that this was simply because Ecan
did not receive anything from that source:
That every six pence collected by tho ladies'
was expended by theladies, and they more.
over, since March last, have drawn upon
Egan for $4,000 The Ladies' League il
1t present preparing ia balance sheet
entirely indenendent Of Eyan, which will
lcmonst rate these facts without reference
to the drafts OF the Ladies' Land League
on Eean. Davitt states that when Parnell
met lin on his liberation they had a con.
yersation in which parnell spoke ,oi the
Ladies League being somewhat proiuse
In expenditure. In regard to the charge
in the letter that Parnel had stated
that the expenses of~tbe equalization
had never exceeded Gl50 weekly,
neither. Mccarthy nor Dayitt remember
any such utterance by 1arncl. Davitt do.
clares that at the time Of the greatest actjy-
ity ol' tho league, what with printing and .
county organizations the cx.
penses must have been doublea, all PORTS.
He says the publication OF the letter l., tho
Irish Times has made no stir in Ireland.
and he first heard Of il today. The IriI
Times makes no mention Of the matter in
the leading editorial. ~
