NEW YORK, March 1.-THE purpose Of
my visit is commercial. have been long want
la ge hour-exporting centeTs in connection with
the business of my firm in Dublin, as we deal
largely in American -four, and my decision TO
come here was fastened by the urgent request OF
Sheridan that should give evidence in the extra
dition proceedings pending, aud also Dy strong
letters from Mooney, president OF the American
Land League, aud other friends, who pressed me
to come TO America 70 give the leaders OF move
ments here such information as is IN my power
REGARDING the situation at home. Although at
this moment the national cause is surrounded
by some dificulties the prospect is en-
