ular Proposition.
BosToN. August 2O.-At the Parker
House yesterday, Mrs. Parnell held
a conference with the members,
Catholic bishops and leaders of the
Irish National League concerning
the means by which the coming
political contest in this country
could be leaned to the advancement
of Ireland's cause. It is understood
Mrs. Parnell represented her son at
the conference. Mrs. Parnell sub
mitted the details of scheme for the
benefit of Irish home industry,
which she stated was conceived by
her son and being put into practical
execution. Parnell, she said, had
formed an association In England
and Ireland, of capitalists and man
ufacturers. whose aim it is to en-
courage home industry In Ireland.
This association proposes to estab-
lish factories for the exclusive manu-
facture of Irish goods, such as could
not be manufactured in England or
other countries, including such arti-
cIes as linens, friezes, woolens and
tweeds. Preparations are already IN
progress for the establishment Of
such factories in different parts OF
Ireland. Mrs. Parnell made sug-
gestion as coming from her son that
q rropositiOn be submitted to the
Republican and Democratic parties,
the acc .ptance of which by either
would decide for which party the
organized Irish vote would be cast.
Mrs, Parnell stated that as these
Irish goods could not be made in this
country their importation would not
in any sense conflict with American
home industry, inasmuch as the asso-
citation in England proposed to ex-
clusively control the production.
Mr.. Parnell's proposition, therefore,
was that q direct offer be submitted
to the political parties of the United
States. as follows: If, in accordance
with the friendly feeling expressed
towards Ireland, in America, by
Americans, one of the politlca! par
ties will incorporate plank In its
platform ip favor of admitting goods
of Irish manufacturers free of duty,
such goods as cannot be
manufactured elsewhere than Ireland
and the importation of which Will
not compete with American produc-
tions, then such party will receive
the organized support of lrishmen 10
America Mrs. Parnell leaves for
New York to-day to take pfelimi-
nary steps toward the organization
of Irish interests 80 that in case OF
action by either of the political
parties the promise contained In the
platform can be fulfilled. During
the conference it was stated the
reasons why Alexander SCllivan so
persistently refused reelection to
the Irish National Land League,
was that he proposed to enter the
canvass in support OF Blaine ana ola
not wish to compromise irish Amer
ican votes by becoming q public
speaker in support of q Republican
Candidate while holding the office OF
president of the Irish National
League.
to the report, that she is engaged IN
the organization of q party for the
benefit of Irish American voters, that
she is not organizing any party ana
has not expressed the slighteet
preference for either of the Amerl-
can parties. She believes, however
that many articles produced IN Ire
land might have been admitted iiee
of duty az they are not competitive
with American or English, while as
models for popular use they would
be eminently y useful. Her only p9r-
DOSE is to direct attention to the in
dustriai field which will be highly
beneficial to both Ireland and Amer
ica
