NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-The next political
sensation vii. be the one described in the
following very important announcement:
The Boston Pilot John Boyle O'Reilly's
paper) of this week contains a most re-
markable and important paper signed by
more than twenty of the most distinguish
ed and respected Irishmen of this coun
try, including such men as Eugene
Kelly, the great New York banker,
Joseph J. O'ponohue, of New York;
Mayor John Byrne, of Cincinnati; Hon.
Patrick 4. Collins and John Boyle
O'Reilly, Of Massachusetts,; James hey-
Buffalo; Martin A. ForaE, of Cleveland; !;
VIM. j. Hynes, OF Chicago; VIM. B. Wal
lace, of New York; Hugh j. Carroll, of
Rhode Island; Hon. Patrick Walsh, OF
Augusta, Ga; Patrick j. Meehau, editor
of the Irish American and many others.
This paper is an address to
the Irish people in America assuring
them on the personal word of every
signer that they have examined the orig,
inal and amended forms of the extrsdi-
ton treaty with England and have com
plete proof that the clauses giving up
70 rrFa nd avvbn u
inserted by republican senators after
the administration had refused the
British ministers request for
the adoption of such clauses.
Also that the democratic senators on
the foreign relations committee fought
these clauses bus were outvoted by the
republican majority. This paper effect
ually disposes of the orazen republican
charge that the democratic administra
ton was responsible for the treaty aid
proves direct collusion between Lord
Sackville West and the republican sena-
tors. Another article in this weeks Pilot
analysis the letters of the British
minister and his mythical British Ameri-
can correspondent and shows that Lord
Sackville is more knave than fool and
that he richly deserved the recall in dis
grace which President CLEVELAND has de-
manded of the British government.
The Pilot also contained important
letters from Eugene Kelly, Patrick \.
Collins aud Major John Byrne and other
leading Irish Americans. Some of these
letters from reputable gentleman
directly charge conspiracy between the
British minister and the republican party
by which but for British aid in electing
Harrison the republican senate would
strangle the Irish by the amendment to
the treaty Which both the president and
Mr.. Bayard refused, but the republi
can foreign affairs committee inserted
in the treaty. The visit of John Boyle
O'Reilly and General Collins to New
York was to meet the leading men of
their race in conference on this wicked
adtempI TO, at one DioW, crush 1felano s
efforts. Great alarm aud Indignation
among those of Irish blood
and sympathy who have been
made familiar with the facts
prevails. The Boston Pilot, of whic h
John Boyle O'Reilly is editor, has been
selected by tho gentlemen who have e1-
amined this matter, to expose the folly
of the conspiracy and the vicious false
hood in attributing to the administration
the very action committed by the repub-
licans
