NO ATTENTION TO BE PAID TO SUCH ATTACKS ON
THE CAUSE OF HOME RULE.
T.P. Gill. one Of the Irish members of Parliament

by . Tribune reporter what ne thought OF the mani
festo' published by some lrishmen In TINS clty' con-
demning the plan of the Irish members OF Parliament
for raising money in tie United States in behalf OF the
battle for Home Rule.
Il do not know any thing about it, said the memoer
sor South Louth. curiously. "what is itl'
The reporter explained that the manifesto evil

which might collected here because. 1t being col
cced under the auspices of the Irish National League
ought be transmitted TO Ireland through the same
medium Not that the signers OF the manifesto OBJ
iect 10 this SO much as the fact that the Irish men,
bers Of Parliament at present visiting this country,
having decided not TO send the through the ma
tona Of the organization did not also dccoe
at the same time to express want OF commence IN the
present officers Of the organization In the Unte1 S'ates
who had refused during the last four years to hold

provides for the holding Of oLe every year.
Mr.. Gill smiled. "Now what could you expect me

satsent Which has been approved by the other ve
members now in this country and by myself:
The address already delivered by the Irish delegates
and the in the have, It is
hoped made American public somewhat familiar with
of the Irish struggle at the present
The Irish now face to face with determined
and powerful attempt. organized by Mr. Halfour and
number Tory and Liberal Unonist capitalists in Eng
landlord syndieates in Ireland to sarve out the
Irish organizations and evicted tenants by simultaneously
Increasing the vgor Of coercion and the number OF eVc-
ions.
So rcsolute and mercess this combination that at
e very moment when according the Government itself
large portions Ireland menaced with severe dis
tress wholesale evfctons are being carried out
chief purpose Of the mission OF the Irish delegates
to America is to counteract this desperate assault by
on appeal generosity OF the American people FOR
moral and financial support
The amount Of sympathy and interest already mani
tested in their mission exceeded their most sangune
expectations The very this response has how
ever increased the difficulties Of the delegates Ihey
nnd it will be impossible for them to visit all the
loeaitie. from which invitations are being received
They know, however from communications adurcsseu
To them that even towns which be visited are
anxious contribute their share toward the FUNDS OF
Irish National party 1t Is therefore suggested tha'
in all subscriptions should be started Ihese
be set in motion by branches OF inc
National League and other societies and or2anza
tons or By committees specially constituted for that pur
pose. m
The urgency and crav ty OF the crisis In Ireland viii,
IL is hoped be allowed justify the delegates in earnestly
eoung that every energy be put forth TO make these
subscriptions with the vast demands on the
resources OF the National party.
All subscriptions collected should be forwarded 10 Dr.
J. r. Kenny NJ. T., and Mr. Alfred Webb. M. p.
AZ the offices OF the Irish National League,
No 43 UpIer O'Connest. Dublin, these being the two
gentlemen appointed by Mr. Parnell as the teasurers for
the funds raised in America
The subscriptions will be acknowledged by receipt from
,he t-easurers named and also by publication in 'The
Freeuans Journsr' and United Ireland Dublin ana
the Irish American papers.
