THE RESULT PREDICTED.
Thomas Power O'Connor, in an inter4
view to-day, said the proposed introduce
tion in Parliament OF cOercive measures
for Ireland was party trick based on the
hope of Wing suppOrt-a hope that
would probably prove delusive. He
thought the anti-Irish feeling in
England was not 30 great as the
government supposed it to be. The min-
istry, he declared, would certainly be de-
feated, and Mr.. Gladstone, he saId.l
would fern home rule ministry which
would have the full support Of the Lib
erals and Parnellites. MIR. O'COnnor
characterized the action Of the goYernI
ment as "dire frenzy"
William OBrien, member of Parliament
for MallOw aud editor OF United Ireland.
was also interviewed on the coercion
question. He agreed with Mr.. O'COn@
nor that the idea OF suppressing the NaS
ti0nal League was absurd. The gOVern-
ment he said might as well try TO OVer-
JnEOW law OF nature.
