O'BRIENs TESTIMONY.
Speaks OF Certain Articles as Justified
bv the Times in Which They wero
Wiittcn


LONDON, MAY -.
William p'Rrien's cross examination was
continued before the rarnell commission to-
dar.
Referring to articles concerning the Queen
and the Prince of Wales prr,iousl, men
toned In his TESTIMONY, u'Brirn said they
were justified at the time he, were written.
but were not justified In the present state of
relations between England and ireland.
The articles were not inteudcd To calm the
peoples objections To British rulc as then
administered. lie thought British rule hate
full then, and he thought II hateful now.
Psrneliites. when the visit of the Prince of
Wales was under discussion hy the author
tiles, passed n resolution advising the peopl,
that the visit ~ss not intended for part, pur.
poses aud should not be made an occasion
for trouble
This action of the 'arnellites resulted in
creating feeling of calmncss In public opin-
ion. The Prince of Wales was allowed To
pass throughout ireland uniroublcd until
the Times published articles declaring that
his visit had crushed the power Of ra,uell.
II was then thought necessary To show Eng.
ishmrn that this was n mistake, aud that the
Princes visit was being upheld To strike down
the Irish Cause.
