William O'Br:eA Released from jail
More Arrests Made.
DUBLIN, January 20.-Mr. William
O'BreD, NJ. P, and editor OF United Ire
land, who has been confined In prison
since October 3lst, was released from Tul-
lamore Jail today. He proceeded to the
priests house in Tullamore, followed by
large crowd, which cheered him repeatedly.
There was no disorder. Mr.. William
0'Brien arrived in this city this evening.
He was greeted at the railway station by an
immense crowd, which included many
members OF Parliament and a large number
OF priests. On slightiDg from the
train he entered the Lord Mayor s.carrisge
and was driven to a hotel, followed oy
long procession. Toe paraders carried
torches, and marched to the music Of
several bands. Many houses. along the
route were brilliantly illuminated, aud
bonires blased in all parts of the town.
On arriving at the hotel Mr.. O'Brien made
a brief speech. His voice was very hoarse.
He said he rejoiced that in spite Of the
effort of Mr. Balfour the Irish were
stronger than ever. Although the English
were slow in joining them, they would be
slow in deserving them.
Mr.. O'Brien received many congratula-
tory kilograms in the course OF the day,
some coming from America. In several
Irish towns garlands were hastily hung
across the streets in honor of Mr.. O'Brien,
and in the evening there were professions,
Examinations, etc.
At a meeting in Tullamore, to day, Mr..
o Brien said that he had the greatest diff
tioulty to find adequate words with which
to express his gratitude for the kindness
of his countrymen, more especially Messrs.
Moorheed and Egaa, witho out whose as
sistaDce in his lonely duel with the Jail au-
thoIities they would likely have had a
much different affair to cele-
brate to-day. Referring to Mr..
Blunts charges against Mr.. Balfour
he said he had heard them from Mr.. Blunt
himself before there had been any likelihood
thatiMr. Blunt would be victim. 1t was be-
cause he (O'Brien) had that statement in his
mind that he told Moorehead and Egsn in
the beginning that he believed he had besn
brought to prison to be murdered; for he
knew that Blunt would let his hand
wither in FIRE before he would tell lie.
He confessed that, though he kept
good face, he went to prison with the per-
feet conviction that he would never emerge
alive. Apart from Blunt's revelations, he
thought they had right to infer the worst
from Balfour's secrecy in immuring them
in what he supposed would turn out to be
the Tullamore catacombs 1t was only
lair, however, to say that the prison
officials performed their odloUs duties
with the least possible harshness.
The Irish would not resort to outrage,
but would follow Parnell and Gladstone,
trusting to the Democracy of Great Britain
to make Ireland a Nation. Mr.. O'Briens
looks denote that his constitution is shat
tered, and his physicians insist that he
should go to the South of France for the
bene tit of his health.
The people of Tullamore have presented
Mr.. O'Brien with az address in which they
say that they are indifferent to the coer.
cion law, but that Mr.. Balfours execution
of the law is brutal and disgrace to the
Government.
Justice Andrews, of the Exchequer
Court, has granted demand made in be-
half of Mr.. Wilfried Blount for the pro.
duction of certain documents concerning
the Woodford affair, which will be used in
an action Of Mr.. Blount against Chief Sec
rotary Balfour. Mr.. Byrne, counsel for the
Crown, opposed the demand on the ground
that the documents were privileged.
Mr.. Blame, member OF Parliament tor
SouthArmagh, was arrested at Armagh, and
at the same time Father McFadden was
taken into custody. Blame was committed
for trial on a charge of making speeches
incitiBg the tenants to resist the authori-
ties.
The Ulster Land Committee, at a meet.
ing in Belfast, to-day, adopted resolutions
approving the compulsory abolition of
dual ownership of land aud protesting
against the exclusion of Ireland from the
benefits of the coming local Government
bill.
Father McFadden, of Gweedore, was ar
rested at Armagh for taking part in the
opposition to the eviction. He was COM
mitted for trial on a charge OF holding
anti-landlord and anti police msstings.
He was removed, in company with Mr..
Blame, 10 the Jail at Donegal.
Upon the arrival o. Father McFAdisn
at Londonderry the police escorting MIN
were stoned by an excited mob and several
were injured. A dete ctive was hit on the
head and is reported to be suffering from
conclusion of the brain.
LONDON, January 90 Mr., Evelyn, the
