The Land.League Convention.

PATRICK EGAN INTERyIEwED-IIIS VERSION
OF Mr.. PARNELLs ABSENCE.
PHILADELPHIA, April 2l.-Patrick Egan,
late Land Leage treasurer. who Is here 10
attend the Land-League Convention, said
to-day that what is known rs the dynamite
party will have very little following In the
Convention. Referring to the absence OF
Parnell from the Convention, Egan said
that it was necessary for Parnell to remain
in Parliament to fight inch by inch bill
which is TO come before Parliament known
as the Indictable Offence Criminal
Code BILL" the real object OF which
is to cope with Irish disaflection
both in Ireland and England. Referring
10 the movement in the mother country,
Egan said 1t depends in 4 large measure on
the support OF the Irish element in Ame-
RIGA. There is no doubt that so long as the
present disaf'ection is kept alive by the
support OF 20,O00,00O Irish Americans in
America, that all the ingenuity OF the Eng
lish Government is and will be taxed to
devise measures TO cope with the spirit eX-
tant in America, and Ireland will be cor
respondingly hopeful OF ultimate success.
