Dillon Will Have Plenty of Followers, and
the League Will Persist in Its Warfare.
LONDON, Dec. 17.-Secretary Brady, of the
Irish Parliamentary party, states this evening
that number of members of Parliament have
started for Ireland to take their chances in
participating in the National Leagues anti
raek-rent campaign, which they will prosecute
vigorously The Nationasts are laughing at
the stupidity of the police who raided the rent
Offices at Loughrea yesterday. in not acting
earlier than they did. Had they done SO, they
might have seized many thousand pounds in
stead of the paltry sum they found when they
arrived.
During the progress of the meeting at Lough-
rea, yesterday, at which Messrs. Dillon, O'Brien,
Harris and Sheehy were arrested, Mr.. Sheehy
received a summons to appear and show cause
why he should not be bound over to keep the
peace because Of speech he made recently at
Kylebeg, and which, it Was claimed, was calcu-
lated to bring about disorder.
Mr.. Dillon and Mr.. O'Brien arrived at Dublin
to-day Both are much disturbed and hurt
physically. In addition to the troubles which
the gentlemen had yesterday at Loughrea, when
they were arrested for acting as tenants trus-
tees, they met with an accident on the road
home. The horse drawing the car on which
they were riding from Loughrea to Athenry
bolted the way, and both were thrown vio-
lensly TO the ground The gentlemen were bad
ly shaken up and considerably bruised by their
fall.
Mr. Dillon was confined to his room in Dub
lin, to-day, by the effects of the accident which
overturned the jaunting-car, together with the
bruises he sustained from the rough handling he
received at the hands of the police at Loughrea.
When visited by reporter this afternoon, he
looked weak and wearied, but appeared to be in
good spirits. He expressed his intention of at
tending a National League meeting at the
estates of the Earl of Kenmare, at Killarney, on
Sunday next, and said that at the regular
League meeting in Dublin, on Tuesday, he
wGsss declare whethe~ or not he would give bail
in the cases against him. Mr.. Dillon's friends
agree that he ought to give bail, thus compelling
the authorities to try him at once before his
recognizances are estreated.
Mr.. OBrier's hands were badly torn by his fall
from the iaunting car and his left arm is Sc
verey sprained, causing him acute pain. In
reference to the raid of the police at Loughrea
Mr.. O'Brien said that, so far as their seizure Of
money was concerned, the police were completely
outwitted. Profitiug by his newspaper expert
ence, and actuated by the instincts of live
journalist, when he saw in and about the town a
large number OF policemen in plain clothes, he
OWNED the reason of their presence and imme-
diately made arrangements for the safety of the
money and documents in his posses
sion. A large sum of money and many
valuable papers, Mr.. O'Brien said, were re-
moved to places of safety from under the very
gaze of the police and the stupid fellows, pursu-
ing the single idea of breaking up the gathering
and bringing confusion upon the National
Leaguers and their adherents, could not grasp
the situation.
The National League, notwithstanding the
action of the government intends to continue its
campaign. but henceforth will observe more eau
ton and circumspection than hitherto. Mr..
O'Brien will address meeting at Longford on
Sunday, and Sir Thomas w. Esmonde, member
for West Down, will speak at CORY, County
Wexford
Messrs Dillon, OBrien, Harris and Sheehy
have decided to begin legal proceedings against
the Loughrea police for the recovery of the
money, books and papers seized yesterday.
The Times says the government has struck
powerful blow at the National League project of
organized embezzlement, and in a leading article
offers strong objections to the admission of Mr..
Dillon to bail
