tReporter-In your opinion have
any land league funds been employed
for promoting disorder In Ireland as

Sheridan---Such presumption can
only emanate from one Of two sources,
viz: Either total ignorance Of the
Land League policy and its leaders, or

Rsporter-Have you distributed any
money In Ireland during your dis.
guised sojourn therel s.Y .
Shtridan--I have. When Forster
charged l was engaged In fomenting
disorder, l was occupied In bringing
succor to men, women and children
whom he left without homes or o
moisel to eat. One case is notewor.

stricken district In Muneter, I discov-
cred fourteen evicted families forced
to seek shelter on Christmas day un.
der fence in Valentia Island, west
coast Of Kerry. Their tender babe
aud aged grandsire had to look for
manifestations Of those ".idings of
great joy" which Christian men are
wont to associate with that holy
season. Telegraph wires flashed
word of cheer to the reverend pastors
Of tho district, and the next post took
some relief for the victims of Forster's
law. You will please note this as q
sample of the outrsges committed by o
