formed in Washington iii political matters

BoSToN, August 20th.-At the Parker
House yesterday Mrs. Parnell held con-
ference with a number of Catholic bishops
and leaders of the Irish National League
concerning the means by which the coming
political contest III this country could be
turned to the advancement of Ireland'S
cause. 1t is understood that Mrs Parnel
represented her son ut the conference. Mrs
Parnell submitted the details of scheme
for the benefit of Irish home industry
which, she stated, was conceived by hel
son. and is being put into practical eXecu
ton. Parnell, she said, had formed an as
sociation in England and Ireland of capi
talists and manufacturers, whose aim Wa
to encourage home industry in Ireland
This association proposed to establish facto
ries for the exclusive manufacture of Irisl
goods, such as could not be manufacture
i'll England or other countries, including
such articles as laces. linens, friezeS, wool
ems and tweeds, and preparations are al
ready in progress for the establishment O
such factories in different parts of Ireland
Mrs. Parnell made suggestion, coming q:
from her son, that a proposition be sub
mitted to the Republican and Democrat,
parties the acceptance of which 10y
either would decide for which party the or
9anized Irish vote would be cast. Mrs
Parnell stated that as these Irish good:
could not be made in this country, theil
importation would not in any sense contlic
with American home industry, inasmucl
as the association in England proposed tC
exclusively control the production. Mr.
Parnell's proposition, therefore, was that {
direct offer be submitted to the politica
parties OF the United States, as follows If
| in accordance with the friendly feeling ex
pressed towards Ireland in America by
Americans, one Of the political parties will
incorporate plank in its platform in favOl
of admitting the goods of Irish manufact
urers free of duty specifying such good.
| as cannot be manufactured elsewhere than il
Ireland, and the importation of which can
not compete with American productions
| then such party will receive the organized
support of the Irishmen in America.
Mrs. Parnell leaves for New York to-day
to take preliminary steps toward the or
| ganiZatOn of Irish interests, 50 that i'll cast
of action by either of the leading politica
! parties, the promises contained III the prop
| ostion can be fulfilled.
| During the conference it was stated the
| reason why Alexander Sullivan so persist
| entity refused election to the Presidency o
| the Irish National League was that he pro
| posed to enter the canvass in support o
| Blaine, and did not wish to compromis(
| the Irish-American vote by becoming ;
public speaker in support of the RepubIi
can candidate while holding Office as Presi
dent of the Irish National League.
