CINCINNATI, Jan. lO.-Tho new move
ment in Irish affairs will bo inaugu-
rated by tho publication tomorrow in
the Commercial Gazette OF two letters
on the Irish, one from Hon. j. p. Car
beray, a prominent merchant, To Maj.
John Byrne, well-known railroad
man and late vice-president Of the Irish
National League OF America, asking
Mai. Byrne 10 institute fund for the
payment of Irish members In parlia-
ment. The other IL Maj. Byrno's reply,
proposing the organization of the Amer
lean Irish Parliamentary club, by which
1000 persons in the United States
will agree to pay S. per annum each
toward the support of the Irish
members of parliament so long as the
constitutional methods, as conducted
by Mr.. Parnell, are maintained. MAJ.
Byrne, in n forcible manner, makes the
Irish cause an American question ana
asks Americans and the more
prominent and influential class
OF the Irish race in Amer
lea to interest themselves in the
new movement which 1t is thought will
lift the Irish questions TO higher plane
and place 1t beyond personal or political
use in this country. These gentlemen,
because of the control of the national
league by secret organizations, have
Withdrawn from that body.
Mr.. Eugene Kelly, IA banker OF New
York, will have the custody OF the
funds. The prominence and standing
of these gentlemen give significance to
the movement. Everything OF an illicit
character is condemned, and fidelity
to American citizenship and moral law
is advocated. IL is said that many
prominent Americans and leading men
of Irish blood in this country are en-
couraging the movement, believing
that a few years more of parliamentary
struggle will give self government to
Iraland.
