OSCAR WILDE,S SENTIMENTS

A TRIBUNE reporter met Oscar Wilde about mid
night sauntering down Broadway with friend.
Both wore long overcoats, flung open wide, and
wlde-brmmed felt hats, nearly covering their long
hair.

Burke. lie had filled many official positions, but
none that brought him in contact with the Irish

result of inoxication at what the Irish thought a

WHAT ALANDLEAGUER SAYS.

Michael ID. Gallagher, president of the Parell
Land League, of this city, said last night that for
lack of explicit information he thought the assas-
sinations could only be the acts of insane men; no
honest patriot OF lover of Ireland would be guilty of
it. Coming at a time of general jubiation over the
prospects for peaceful settlement OF
Irish difficulties it's effect would be
to retard and delay the new policy OF
the Gladstone Government. If it was not found
upon investigation to be the act of crazy fanatics 1t
would probably turn ont TO be the deed of a paid
emissary OF the party of coercion.
The first result would without doubt
be q feeling of intense Indignation IN
England against Ireland, but this feeling would
cool when investi cation had shown that the Irish
people were guiltess of participation IN the assas-
snations. 1t was absurd TO think that if 1t was
done at political nstigation it was not carried INTO
effect while Mr. Forster was IN power, the repre-
sentative of a harsh policy of coercion. Nothing
but what was dcplorable could flow from the
present act Mr. Gallagher said that he himself,
and the organization which he represented would
regret deeply the and he felt sure that
when the news was spread abroad it would be re-
qrctted sincerely by good men of all natl )naties
and bv none more sincerely than by the lovers and
we'll ishers of Ireland.

VIEWS OF LORD RANDOLPH CHURCHILL
A TRIBUNE reporter called upon Lord Randolph
Churchill last evening at the house of his father
In-law Leonard W. Jerome TO ask his opinion as TO
the political significance of the assassination and its
probable effect upon English politics. Lord Randolph
received the reporter cordially in the dining room
where lie was taking his after-dinner cigar with Mr.
Jerome He had received no information of the as
sassuaton of Lord Cayendsh and Under-Secretary
Burke. and was greatly shocked when the reporter
broke the news to him.
Are YOU certain that this terrible news is true !"
he asked Il can't believe it. 1t must be canard
Is il not strange for such tragedy to occur inme
diately after this new policy of conciliation has
been begun after Mr.. Gladstone has made all these
concessions and bargains, has released the suspects
and agreed to let the Coercion Act lapse and to
modify the Land ActY Really can't believe the
report is true 1t will be a tremendous shock 10
England and will create intense excitement
"What effect" the reporter asked. do you thihk
the tragedy will have upon the policy OF the IoV-
ment and upon the attitude Of the Opposition J.
at is welnigh impossible to form an opinion
about the effect Of the shocking deed politically at
distance of 3 900 miles and with no knowledge OF
the circumstances surrounding the murder. 1t
would, indeed, be natural TO suppose that it
would lead to abandonment of the
new policy, and, in fact, 70 an
