Mr.. Thomas Brennan, tho talsrted
young Irish patriot, il still in he city,
and viii remain until tomorrow morn.
ing. Ii is 70 10 regretted that the gen.
tlenan has sssn this portion Of the
under such unfavorabls circun-
stances. Notwithstanding the missr-
able weather, however, he expresses
- being we'll satisfied With
Seattle and With the reception extended
him here. He finds that Irishmen are
lrishmsn the world over. and that the
Irish heart 10 just ~ warm and just a.
70 the Irish cause IN seattle
- in Dublin itself. ~
In oonversation With Posr- INTELLI-
okxCxs reporter last evening, Mr.. Bren-
nan oemmsnted somewhat on the iRnor-
ancs displayed iu this country - 70 the
true state Of English politics. This be
attributed almost entirely 10 the fact
that the cables are all indirectly under
the control o: the British Government,
and every item Of news 0ont % 10 oiftsd
and rssiftsd until u places the Irish
cause in the worst possible light. "In
fact," said Mr.. Brennan. "the British
Government exercises . complete a.
though unaoknoWlsdgedo censorship over
the American press, 20 far ~ its foreign
news 10 concerned. How could the news
which you receive hs unbiased when it
comes from En9ia I'D, inspired by the
English Government, and passing
through Euglish hands?. The Amsri-
can public, indeed, shows = highly
oeeditnble degree of analytic power in
analysing those cable dis
patches aud rightly inferring the mo-
tives which prompt them. That they
do this 10 Sufficiently shown by the fact
that In spite Of long existing misrepre-
the Irish cause IL everywhere
warmly favored by Americana. The
moral support of America is undoubt-
sdly With Ireland in her struggle
against British tyranny and wrong. IL
il not q mere negative support, either;
it IL positive and loudly expressed on all
Sides"
Mr.. Brennan also said that in addi-
lion to The dOct0rina Of news by British
agents, many kilograms were unintsn-
cut aud gasbled In transmits
sion, through having to p .ss through 20
manv hands. For instance" no con-
tinusd, "ssveral days ago there was
published telegram speaking Of the
candidacy Of John Decay for tue vacant
seat IN Parliament for Cork. Now,
know no such man a. John Deasy, and
there is certainly NO ono Of that name
prominently with the Nation
al party. The gentleman Who lately
held the seat, and 10 presumably the
meant, 10 John DAILY. Thus
you oau ESQ how mistakes creep into
Your oolusnns, which though sln III and
INSIGNIFICANT in themselves, in The AZ
RrevHts have considerable effsot IN
the people on this side Of the
Atlantic to the state Of Affairs on the
other"
In M. Rrsnnau's opinion, the vote,
a published yesterday merping, % the
motion Of Sir Stafford Northcets 10 cen
sure the Egyptian policy 0f the Govern
uent, indicates that the Radicals have
either lost Or gained considerably in
their strength in Parliament since the
last elections. The entire vote Of tns
lrish party vas, Of eoqrse, masssd With
the Conservative and SRainse the Gov
erument. The majorj against the
nOsion, 46 votes, there(6fe represented
about the same strength ~ thAs posses
sed BY the Radicals at the beginning 0l
the Gladstone administration.
