nre % the United ireland Office and it.
recap.urc the preceding night i'm his
name: II know nothing either Of the
attack on the United ireland Office or 81
- reported recapturc. except what 1
have learned from tho newspapers I
am most loath 10 speak ON what is to
me In any aspect = hcartbreaking sub
lert- but there are some misstatcmcnts
IN the newspapers which must cor
rect II is stated that the edition
which Mr. Farneli attempted 10 sup
press BY force was 10 contain bitter
PERSONAL attacks upon himself. I can
not believe that To be true unless my
specific orders were ~disregarded. When
the controversy arose I cabled the fol-
lowing Instructions % she Mr..
Donnely: III party decides in favor Of
Mr.. Farncll hand over tho establish-
ment 20 any authorized agent of Mr.
Iarneil- II party decides against his
leadership support our views moderate
~ but ~strcnrously. avoiding all unkind
language Of Mr.. rarneIl personally. and
permit nobody 70 interfere.
subsequently twice czbled the act
ing editor. Mr.. Boikin. enjoining him
20 see that nothing personally offensive
- Parnell should appear and forbid
ding him 10 use cartoons in the paper
In The controversy To insure that
nothing personally hurtful to Parnell
should appear. ! specially instructed
him 10 print nothing on the subject ex-
cept what he should write himself. On
the night before Mr.. Parnelrs raid on
the Office. in reply 70 a cablegram from
two o. Mr. Parncll's chief Par
l~iamentary supporters begging Mr.
Dillon and myself 70 come
70 Paris and asking me todircct United
ireland TO observe neutrality in the
racantimc. | cabled the following rcply-
VIII be delighted : o meet Jack and you
in Paris. VIII gladly direct neutrality
Of United ireland meanwhile il the
controversy is suspended all around
The nextIhcari was that OF tue gen
t'rmen who had cablci me that message
was among those who bad broken into
the Office and suppressed the paper by
force. IL is stated that Parnell acted in
virtue Of his authority as the director
81 the company who owned United Ire
and that be owns the great major
ity Of shares Both these statements are
unfounded- The shares which stand
nominally in his name are les than
half b sharc-capItal OF tho company.
Mr.. Parnell is not and has not zen for
nearly five years past q director Of the
company lie ceased to be. at his own
desire. about FIVE years ago for the ex-
press purpose Of guarding himself from
all pecrniary or criminal responsibility
