JOHN DILLON SPEAKS.
The Celebrated Irishman Is Utterly Dis
susted With Parn=IPs Methods

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-Mr. Dillon has
issued a lengthy letter to the press as 70
the more recent events in Ireland. He
says he has been from the first strongly
opposed to any personally offensive at
tacks on Parnell although il must be ad-
mitted that the cruelty unjust charges he
has Ieveled against the mtmbers of his
party and the extraordinary methods bv
which he has sought to suppress all ex-
preston of opinion hostile to himself
renders it very difficult for his oppo-
nents to maintain an attitude
of moderation. Dillon deprecates in
strong terms some of the language which
has been used in Ireland on both sides.
the past few days. Referring again to the
attacks on Gladstone and Morley he SAYS
that he is convinced that there is not a
shadow of foundation for the charges
made against them. Charges which
would never have been imagined much
less uttered, " says he, "but for the O'Shea
diverse case and Gladstone 5 letter" Dill
lon speaks of the charges against Glad
stone and Morley as gross and monstrous
insult Dillon says that his reli-
ance for satisf2 ctorv character
of the home rule bill has always
been, not on the pledges Of any English
statesman, but on the honesty and inde.
pendence of the Irish party, and above all
on the unity Of the national feeling of the
Irish race. He still has hopes that the
conference between O'Brien and Parnell
may result in restoring unity; but in the
meantime Parnell has plunged Ireland in
to d conflict which wrings the heart of
every Irishman with pain and humiIia-
tiOn. He has done it for ii personal
end, and Dillon feels bound to say
that since he has commenced his Irish
campaign Parnel has used language and
done acts revolving to every free born man.
and if he (Dillon) could meet ParneI in
Ireland he should tell him that unless he
very much altered his course he was no
fit leader for nation aspiring to be free
Dillon in closing strongly appeals to the
people In Ireland Notwithstanding the
provocation not to forget the respect due
ParnelI for his past mighty work.
viii Distribute the Funds
New YORK, Dec. 15.-A circular letter
has been issued by the Irish delegates to
the treasurers of the funds at all points
where they have spoken, Before they left
Ireland a clear unders anding was arrived
at that the funds collected in America
should be used for the support of evicted
tenants. Joseph E. Kenny and Alfred
Webb, who were appointed treasurers
of the fund. have taken op-
posite sides in the present controversy.
But in every case the delegates say, we
are quite confident that the money if sent
to them will be honorabIy applied to the
purposes for which it was subscribed. They
therefore earnestly request that any funds
in hand be Immediately forwarded 10
Dublin, payable to the joint order of
DR.. Joseph f. Kenny ana Alfred Webb

New YORK, Dec I3.-It was reported
in financial circles today that the
1'row Printing and Publishing Co. had
asked an extension Of four months on
some os its papers bearing the endorse
ment of H. K Thuber which has been
readily granted by the banks holding it.
The amount could not be definitely learned,
but it is supposed to be over 1925, 600
The president of one Of banks said
that he was sorry that the matter had
been made public for he considered the com
pany perfectly solvent All the notes
discounted, he said, have Thurber'
endorsement and the bank is not
worried because Tnurber's statement of
assets foots up between three and four
millions. The officers of the company
could not be seen this evening, but from
other sources it Is learned that the com
pany does a very extensive business. The
total assets are considerable over millions

opinion is expressed that there will be no
