Mr.. p. j. Sheridan said yesterday to u re-
porter who called on him at tho Irish World
office, "and begin to think they have found
that there is nothing ON which they eau ar
rest me. If had anticipated this protractcd
delay should have expressed no opinion on
the matter. l have regarded the thing from
the beginning as farce, but ono which might
have a tragic ending for me-
Mr.. j. Pierrepont Edwards, tho British con-
sul, said he had received 10 further instruc-
tions, and had no athority to arrest Mr., Shcr-
idan. ..-..
The complete reports of James Carey's tcs-
timony printed in the London papers just re-
ccived show that he spoke of r. j. Sheridan
as follows:
At the Angel hotel Walsh introduced mo to q
man who subsequently discovered was disguised
aitcrward learned he was L. J. Sheridan. lie was
dressed us priest, and was called the Rev. Father
Murphy. Walsh said he and had been IN the
park, looking out to see Mr. Forster, aud ms Ike his
acquaintance. Sheridan said he had been iu the
country to extend the branches of the lnvinCibies.

was disguised in the same way. on the second
occasion he said arms were to 6e prepared. one
of us said arms were promised from England, but
were not sent, He said when hc got 10 London

is false. | did not meet him at the Angel
hotel, nor Mt the Midland either"
"Wcrc you at either OF these hotels?'
"I was at both of them. The Angel hotel
was the one l stayed at, but was at the Mid
land when / was in Dublin, among other
hotels. But not even by accident could
Carey have met me or spoken to me without
my being aware of it,"
"Is what he says about the assumed name

"Well, was disguised as priest as have
stated before, but as regards the name l as

silent. 1t may have been Father Murphy
or It may not. l would rather not say"

And that statement ] am supposed to have
made about arms coming from England is false
too--false as all the rest of it,"
"What do you think of the delay in de-
manding your cXtndition"
IL think perhaps the English government
is aware that such evidence as they have got
would not be sufficient to get mo from America,

say here that Byrno is one of tho most re-

the government to obtain his eXtradition Is

Did you share the resentment Of the In
vincibcs against Clifford Il0Sd2"
81 know Clifford Lloyd by reputation MS
the fighting master of the English kennel in
Ireland. He is n resident magistrate, and
whenever there is a manifestation of public
! feeling anywhere he is always the man sent
to repress it, He has contributed more to
the creation of outragcs than any man l know
in Ireland. He is high-handed tyrant."
"Well, for the present is your mind at
ease in regard to your own extraditiOn?"
