John Dillon, who are charged with con-
spiracy in melting tenants not to pay
their rents, was again called in the mag
lstrates' court at Tipperary this morn
ing. Messrs. O'Brien and Dillon have
hitherto been present at all the hear
ingS, but this morning when the court
opened they did not put in an ap-
pearance. Both the defendants are
members of the committee which
was appointed at the conference of Irish
Nationalist held in Dublin last Friday
to visit America for the purpose Of So
Letting aid for the Nationalist cause,
and fumor is current that they have
forfeited their bail of 600 each in the
conspiracy case, and that they sailed
yesterday from Queenstown for the
United States. Much excitement pre-
vailed in Tipperrary when it became
known that Messrs. O'Rrien and Dill
lon had abandoned their defense and
left the place. Confirmation of the
rumor that they have left the country
has Deen received. There is no con-
hrmation, however. of the report that
they sailed from Queenstown yesterday
for the United States. The information
thus far received shows that they did
not leave by the ordinary channels of
passage. Their
Bail VIII BE Estreated
and it will be paid by the National
league: All the other defendants who
are Jointly charged with conspiracy
with MeSsrs. Dillon and OBrien were
present in the court. Mr.. Roman, prose
cutor for the crown, announced the alb
sence of Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien,
ana asked the court to append to their
ball bonds the usual certificate of nom
appearance. Mr. Healy, of counsel for
the defendants, submitted the argument
that the sureties on the bail bonds |
had fulfilled their obligations when
Messrs. OBrien and Dillon appeared in
court on the first day of the trial. The
crown, he said. had subsequently |
amended certain particulars of the |
charges, and therefore the bail given |
Tor the defendants no longer held good. |
After listening to the arguments on this
point the court announced that in it's !
opinion the charges against the defend |
ants, although amended by the |
crown were substantially the same. It |
therefore granted Mr.. Romans request, |
and the courts certificates of non-ap- |
pearance was attached to the bail bonds |
of Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien. An ad- |
J0urnment was then taken to enable |
the crown to consider what steps should |
be taken. Warrants have been issued |
for the arrest Of Dillon and O'Brien. |
The escape has excited great adj |
mlfatlon and enthusiasm in the |
ranks of the Nationalist. both in En- |
gland and Ireland, while the
Government Is Confused
by the readiness with which the officers. |
cautioned to be especially on the alert, |
have been hoodwinked. The Star saws |
that MesSrS Dillon and O'Brien went to |
Havre via Waterford Wednesday and |
sailed from Havre for New York. |
transatlantic steamship companies |
know nothing of the route taken by |
MessrS. OBrlen and Dillon. They |
were not booked from London either
by the Trave. of the North
German Lloyd company, which
sailed from Southampton yes
terday, or by the Normannia, of the
Hamburg-American line. which left |
Southampton to-day. Nothing is known |
at either Queenstown or Neville of their |
Whereabouts. A correspondent of the |
Freeman's Journal, Mr. O'Brien's paper. |
sailed from Queenstown yesterday OH |
the City of Berlin, and it is thought
not unlikely that Dillon and |
OBrien may also be aboard
that vessel. In the absence |
picked as to what action to take in the |
matter. Detectives have boarded ali
outgoing steamers, and searched in
vain for Dillon and O'Brien. They are
convinced that the two are already on
the way to America. 1t is possible,
they say, that Dillon and O'Brien sailed |
on yacht, and boarded steamer out
side OF Queenstown harbor.
Both Sides of the Question.
The Post, in an editorial on the flight
of Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien, SAYS:
1.-The battle had just been set in array
when the generals on the home rule side
fled ANONYMOUSLY from the field" A |
dispatch to the News from Tipperary
says: Though Swallowed as never
Swallowed before, they joined a liner
by the aid of a friendly craft, and are
now well on their way to New York. 1t
is impossible to convey an idea of the
frenzy of delight here" The News, in
an editorial, compares the escape of |
Dillon and OBrien to the marvellous
escapes of Mazzini, and says they will
be received in America as Kos
ing from continental expressions
have been received here. The News
adds: IF the Golfers of the league are
empty, as its enemies boast. Balfour's
laundering will soon repienish them"
The Chronicle says: 1.-The inference is
that the government, for some reason,
did not desire to keep them in the coun-
try. Otherwise they could not have es-
capped the vigilance of the police. The |
stage is now left 10 obscure performers,
and Mr.. Baifour may ring down the |
curtain"
