DUBLIN, Oct. 15.-United Ireland prints
an account of the escape of Dillon and
O'Brien, written by O'Brien himself. He
says: 1--WE rowed from Dalkey Wednesday
at midnight to yacht that was lying two
miles off shore. The next morning found
us ninety miles away toward the Welsh
Coast. Friday and Saturday we lay in
dead calm. On Sunday morning we landed
at Lands End, when the wind again died
away and we were forced to lie all day in the
brilliant sunshine. within two miles of the
shore Tie TIinity-house cutter passed
quite close to us, and the crew of the Royal
Adelaide, off Falmouth, actually exchanged
greetings with our sailors.
"The fog buried US from sight on Sunday
night, four steamers blowing their fog
horns around us during the night. We
cleared the Lizard in themorning and darted
across for the French coast 10 out-tIick the
British shipping. We were beealmed again
on Monday and obliged TO beat up the
Channel A brisk gale sprang up on Tues
day. While passing Guernsey after mid
night, we were apparently pursued by
IGNtHut WHICH,, IOhtNSI, WAC utIdblC
to weather the gale and abandoned the
chase.
"In the morning we were running free
before the wind for Cherbourg, where we
landed at II o'clock. We had reached our
last days supply of fresh water All the
arrangements worked perfectly, thanks to
prominent Dublin citizen who superntended
them, and we had unparalleled good luck"
Mrs. o Brien left Dublin in the evening to
join her husband.
TIPPERARY, Oct l5.-The trial of the al
legged conspirators was resumed today.
Evidence was given with the object of show
ing that defendants used their influence
among the tenants on the Smith Barry
rState, trying to induce them not to pay their
rents. The first witness called by the prose-
cutiun was a policeman. lie testified that
the defendants, in company with John
Kelly, made visits to the Smith Barry ten
ants. Healey asked Crown Prosecutor
Roman why This evidence about Kelly WAS
introduced. Roman replied that the object
was TO connect Kelly with the OBrlen-
Dillon part of the conspiracy. Healey pro-
tested against the court dealing with mat
tiers anterior TO the time mentioned in the
summons. The objection was overruled.
During the proceedings Heaey was
handed dispatch from Dillon and UBrien,
announcing theil arrival at Cherbourg,
France, TODAY. The utmost reticence is
maintained among the NatonalistS as to the
lud0HtT Ill WHICH lOty eluutu lue EOllce.
The Government is endeavorlng to learn
who aided them to escape, and if discovered
they will be prosecuted.
PARIS, Oct. 15.-La Presse says: Dillon
and O'Brien, after their flight from Tippe-
rary took passage on a saii, q vessel and
landed at Luc-sur-mar, on the coast Of Nor
mandy, Sunday. They passed the night ut
the residence of Ratfalovich. the banker,
whose daughter is the wife OF O'Brien. Mon
day they came to Paris and thence pro-
1. f.l. vsuI,N,
Gif, Department Seine ct Lise. They re-
turned TO Paris last night. Their address in
this city is secret. If the news received from
America is favorable 10 the Irish mission to
thal country, they will start for New York
at the end of the week. If it becomes mani
fest that it is their intention to remain in
Paris, the Government will request them to
leave.
A rumor attained circulation late to-day
that Raffalovich and the members of his
family declare that Dillon and OBrien have
not been in France and assert that they
have sailed for America.
CHERBoURG, Oct. 15.-Dillon, O'Brien
and Clancy arrived at noon to-day, and

LaNDoN. Oct 15-The Star announces
that Archbishops Logue, Walsh, Croke and
Macevilly have been summoned by the Pope
TO Rome in the early part OF next year.
This, the Star says, is an unusual and signif-
cant step. 1t is believed the summons is
issued in connection with the Irish political
situation and kindred subjects. The Arch
bishops and Bishops are now deliberatiug
and it is probable they will soon issue
series of resolutions with reference to Irish
affairs.
Earl Spencer, formerly Lord Lieutenant
of ireland, delivered speech at Newport
to-day, in which he said the events that are
taking place in Ireland were disgrace ana
a source OF danger tn the empire. He eX-
pressed himself as confident that the pro-
posas Of Gladstone, if acted upon, would
settle the Irish question
Davitt, in the Labor World tomorrow,
will reiterate the charges made against the
British Consul in New York.
The November number of Subjects of the
Day contains an appeal from Gladstone to
The Tory househOlders in which he eX-
presses a strong desire that the Tory party
shall undertake to pass home rule bill.
Because, he says, that party can do it more
easily and rapidly than can the Liberals.
He asks why they should continue to deny
to Ireland the thing she seeks from them,
namely, self government; central in that II
should be carried on in Dublin, but local
in that its power would be confined to purely
Irish affairs, and its actions, like those of all
oher local legislatures in the Empire, be
subject to the supremacy OF the Imperial
Parliament.
NEW YORK, Oct. 10. - Confusing state
ments having appeared regarding the Amer
lean mission OF the Irish leaders, Mr.. L. III.
Gill, a member of the delegation, now in
this city, tonight made definite statement
to the Associated Press. The other MEM
bers of the delegation-John Dillon, Will
lam O'Bripn, I. P. O'Connor, T. D.. Sulli-
van and Timothy Harrington, will be here
within the next fortnight. The object Of
the mission, which is formally vested with
the most complete representative authority to
speak for Parnell and the Irish Parliament
airy party and for the Irish people, is to ap-
peal TO the Irish race and all friends of Ire
land in America for support in the struggle
which the Irish people are making to protect
their lives, homes and liberty against the
combined forces of coercion, land
lordism and misgover1ment, and to
advance the cause which has for
its goal the establishment of a native legis-
lature in Dublin which will enable the
Irish people to govern themselves and de-
yelop the resources OF their country, and the
Irish nation to fulfill the destiny of which
Ter sons believe she has been called. "The
delegates will" said Mr. Gill, "tell the story
of how that struggle is being carried on.
both on the. soil of Ireland and in
spreading the home rule propaganda among
the electorate of Great Britain. They will
explain the circumstances under which
syndicates of Tory capitalists have con-
spired with the coercion Government and
the Irish land ords, with the special view of
exbausting the pecuniary resources of the
national struggle. The delegates will appeal
for. the support OF all who can lndorSe
their position, and who are willing, If only
in the interests of fair plav, to prevent Ire
land from being handicapped in the struggle
for want of those sinews of war her wealthy
enemies can command without limit. The
delegates confidently look to the people of
their own race in America to assume the
duty of making the mission a success and
hope to see every class and section and
body representative of the Irish race CO.
operating unitedly and loyalty in this great
effort for the sake Ci the old land"
Mr.. Gill wishes 1t understood that much
time will be saved if Irish-Americans of
various localities will enter into commune
cation with him at the Fiith-ayenue Hotel,
New York, regarding the dates most suit
