NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-The next pO-
lItical sensation will be the one described
in the following very important an
Boyle O'Reilly's paper of this week
contains most remarkable and impOr-
tant paper signed by more than twenty
of the most distinguished and respected
Irishmen in this country, including
such men as Eugene Kelly, the great
New York banker; Joseph J.O'Donohoe,
of New York; Maj. John Byrne, of Gin
cinnati; Hon. Patrick A. Collins and
John Boyle O'Reilly, of Massachusetts,;
Jones Reynolds, of New Haven; James
Mooney, of Buffalo; Martin A. Foran,
of Cleveland; William j. Hynes, of
Chicago; DR.. William G. Wallace, of
New York; Hugh j. Carroll, of Rhode
Island; Hon. P. Walsh, of Augusta, Ca;
Patrick j. Meehany, editor of the Irish
American, and many others. This pa
per is an address to the Irish people in
America, assuring them, on the word of
every signer, that they have examined
the original and amended forms of the
eXtraditian treaty with England, and
have complete proof that the clauses
giving up political refugees to England
were wholly
INSERTED BY REPUBLICAN SENATORS
after the administration had refused the
British minister's request for the adop-
tiOn of such clauses. Also that the DEM
Ocratic senators on the foreign relations
committee fought those clauses, but
were out-vOted by the Republican ma
jority. This paper effectually disposes
80 +lo h,o1 liao, oba l,ot tho
Democratic administration was respOn-
sible for the treaty. and proves direct
cOllusiOn between Lord Sackyille West
and the Republican senators. Another
article in this weeks Pilot analyZes the
letters of the British minister and his
British-American correspondent, and
shows that Lord Sackville is
more knave than a fool and
that he richly deserved the
recall in disgrace. which President
Cleveland has demanded of the British
government The Pilot also contains
important letters from Eugene Kelly,
Patrick A. Collins, Maj. Byrne and
other leading Irish-AmericanS. Some
of these letters from reputable gentle
men directly charge a conspiracy be-
tween the British minister and the Re-
publican party, by which for
BRITISH AID IN ELECTING HARRISON
the Republican senate would stranSle
the Irish by the amendment to the
treaty which both the president and
Secretary Bayard refused, but the Re-
publican foreign affairs committee in
serted in the treaty. The visit of John
Boyle O'Reilly and Gen. Collins to
New York was to meet leading
men of their race in conference
on this wicked attempt to at one blow
crush Ireland's efforts. Great alarm
and indignation among those of Irish
blood and sympathy who have been
made familiar with the facts prevails.
The Boston Pilot, of which John Boyle
O'Reilly is editor, has been selected by
the gentlemen who have examined this
matter to expose fully the conspiracy
and vicious falsehOod in attributing to
the administration the very action COM
mitted by the Republicans. All other
news has been overshadowed tonight
by the intelligence that the president
has sent to Lord Sackville his
passports. 1t is we'll under
stood that this step has not
been taken without the existence of
state of affairs that rendered it neceS-
sary for the assertion of the independ-
ence and dignity of our government.
The sentiment here is one of universal
approval of the action of the president,
not merely among Democrats, but also
among Republicans. The news spread
through the town with wonderful rapid
ity, and citizens of foreign birth, and
especially Irish-Americans, are eX-
tremely enthusiastic over the decisive
REBUKE TO FOREIGN INTERFERENCE
in American affairs. So far as there
was any possibility of such an element
as independent Irish RepublicaniSm, it
is all effaced tonight, and the Repub-
licans will inevitably lose the not in
considerable contingent of Irish-Ameri-
can votes that have always adhered
to their party in the East. The
cooler heads are especially graft
fed that the decisive step has been
taken by our government without
undue haste, and after proper and court
eOus representations to the British gov
ernment. Everything has been done
deliberately, but firmly, decently and
in order, and there is no dissent any
where expressed from the entire correct
ness of the course pursued: The Re-
publican managers who relied on the
Sackville trick are very gloomy. They
see that they have fallen
INTO THE PITFALL
they dug for the Democratic president
and realize that the last hope of ma
tional success is gone. They will keep
up the pretense of conflict, and to-
morrow will take fresh heart and brag
and boast again, but it will be with the
hope of saving congressional districts
and some state legislatures, not with
that of electing Harrison president as
Blaine's deputy. 1t is the Blaine policy
that has absolutely broken down, and it
is too late in the campaign for him to
