Jail-His Reception at Dublin.
DUBLIN, Jan. 20--Mr. William O'Brien, NJ
P. and editor of United Ireland. who has
been confined in prison since Oct. 81, was ra-
leased from Tullamore Jail to-day. He pro-
ceeded to the priests house in Tullamore, fol-
lowed by large crowd, which cheered him
repeatedly. There was no disorder.
Mr. O'Briens appearance indicates that his
health is much impaired His physicians insist
that he shall spend speason of recuperation in
the south of France but he has not yet decided
to hoed their advice. The people of Tullamore
presented him with address. which embodied
the declaration that they cared nothing for the
coercion law, but regarded Mr. Balfours exc
cution of it as extremely brutal and in all re-
spects disgrace to the government
Mr.. O'Briea. addressing a meeting at Tulla-
more, shortly after his release to-day, said 10
was with the greatest difficulty that he could
find words to express adequately his gratitude
for tho kindness Of his countrymen, especially
Moorehead and Egan, without whose assistance
in his lonely duel with his jailsrs
there might have been differ
ent event to celebrate from the
one his hearers now rejoced at Referring to
Mr. Blunt's charges against Mr. Bafour, Mr..
O'Brien said that he had heard them from Mr..
Blunt himself, long before there any likeli-
hood that Mr.. Blunt would be one of Balfours
victims. 1t was owing to Mr.. Blunt's state
ment in fact, that he had told Moore
head and Egan that he believed that he
had been brought to Tullamore prison
to be murdered. for he knew that Mr.. Blunt
would allow his right hand to, wither in fire be-
fore he would tell lie. Apart from Mr. Blunt's
revelations. Mr.. O'Brien and his fellow-prison-
ers had right to infer the worst from Mr.. Bal
four's secrecy in immuring them in what they
supposed would turn out to be Tullamore cata-
comb It was fair, however, to say that the
prison officials performed their odious duties
with the least possible harshness
Mr. O'Brien arrived in Dublin this evening.
Immense crowds of people, including many
priests and members of Parliament, met him at
the railway station, where they had waited some
time for his arrival. He was greeted with deaf
ening cheers as he alighted from the trainsaH5s-
anss.-@esd in sight latitude, and when he
entered the Lord Mayors carriage the enthusi-
asn of the people was at white heat. He was
driven to the Imperial Hotel, escorted by an i'm
mense procession with bands of music and torches,
while the houses along the line of march, as
we'll as in other parts of the city. were illumin-
ated and bonfires burned everywhere. Arriving
at the hotel, Mr.. O'Brien appeared on the baco-
ny and addressed the people. He rejoiced. he
said, that, in spite of Chief Secretary Balfour,
the Irish people were stronger than ever and
though the English were slow in joining them
they would be slow in deserting them after they
had i ioined. The Irish would not resort to out
rage, but would follow Mr.. Parnell and Mr.. Glad
stone, trusting in the democracy of Great Brit
ain to make Ireland a nation.
The presence of nearly all of the Dublin
judges at the banquet given last evening in honor
of Mr.. Balfour is generally condemned as evil
dencing the subserviency of the Irish judicial
authorities to the Tory executive The fact that
these wearers Of the ermine were present in
semi-state is also commented and held to
indicate more strongly their willingness to con-
slider themselves bound to carry out the wishes
of the government while pretending to admin
lister justice.
