CHICAGO, July S.-A reporter meetin
o'Donovan Rosa asked him the object Q
his visit to this city. Mr.. Rosa replie,
that he purposed attending the Irish meet

"Do you refer to the killing Of Burke ant
Cavendish?" AZ =
~ do. When the Irishmen in Americ.
learn to speak as they feel, The name of Jol
Brady viii be held in reverence. The En-
glishman who goes to Ireland to levy taxei
in the name of foreign power ought to b
slain. England will have the upper hant
OF us until we fight her with her owr
weapons. The English have no compunC
tion about killing US. Ireland's only re-
source Is war, and what is war but the kill
ing OF the enemy? Before Ireland is free
the Irish must kill all the Englishmen who
have usufped the Government OF Ireland
or kill so many that the others will be glad
to leave the country. Ninety.nine out ot
! every hundred Irishmep nese In your city
think as do on this question" iSi.
why are they not as outspokenl as
you?" FsiG
"Their interests deter them from speak.
ing their minds publicly. EDglish capital
and English blooded employers run this
country, and for a man to speak as do
would be as much as his livelihood Ia
worth. The Irish in this country are led
by men who regard their own interests as
higher than those OF Ireland. Still tbs
people themselves are all right at heart '
"To What leaders do you refer?" n
rARNELL,sPolIcY NO GOOD.
"I refer TO those who tell the people that
they are going to free Ireland by peaceable
and parliamentary meaus. Father ooaats
thinks that the great achievement OF the
Philadelphia Convention was the indorse!

Parnell's sincerity, but bis policy will never
drive the English out OF Ireland, Irish:

table policy OF Parnell without los.

E1glish blooded Americans, because
EBglands ipterestp are safe so'long as the
Irish do not 90 beyond Parnellism. It Ia
pleasant for men to BIO patriots when they
are not obliged to shed blood or risk their
lives. These patriots, you know, are popu.
lar, and popularity means Office. / say
that the 1rishmenin Ireland are far in ad.
vance Of the Irishmen in America. In
Ireland, ] belieYe, they are despondent
over the action Of the humbug patriots In
America relative to the Phunix Park affair,
but the meetipgs that We propose to hold
will give new hope to men across the water.
We will II possible get up permanent
fund for the families Of the men who fell
in battle for Ireland. This will encourage
other men in Ireland to emulgte the deeds
OF the PhGaix Park heroes. The Irish
cause in America ia in the hands OF men
who want to make Ireland great, glorious
and free by making themselves great, glori.

THE IRISH EXTREMISTS.
When asked about the program Of the
Irish extremists Mr.. Rosa said:
"Ido notknow what 1t will be, but
know what It SHOULD be. There are ara
men in Ireland like Joe Brady ready to
dare and do, and the object of the Irish
exiled race should be 10 encourage such
men. Il the spirit Of such men were sus.
taiped, instead Of the spirit OF parliament.
arlainism, there would be different state
OF affairs in Ireland"
Mr.. Rosa was asked why no fund had
been raised for the defense Of the Phenix
Park "herocs." He said: "fhese men
were left il thu lurlh by the very men who
encouraged them to the deeds for which
they suffered"
"Then you did not encourage them?'
"No, did not. believed that the mat
ter OF the defense was in the hands Of those
who urged the men yhe we're hanged for
the deed; but The men In question de-
serted the prisoners in their extremity,
although they had unlimited means to use
for defense"
"Were you connected in any way With
Gallagher, Lynch, aud others who were az
festpdin Englandp"
II was moi, but | approve OF any men
who endeayor to strike ut England"
"You seem to have little faith in certain
alleged leaders Of the Irish in this coun.
~ will tel! you this: Some Of these
Headers went over to France and de-
manded the sum OF 100000 from the Land
League Treasurer. 1t was only on condi.
ton Of receiving this money that future
support.irom certain so-called revolutions
ary organizations would be guaranteed to
Parnel. Patrick Egan, il be 90 desires,
