To Sail for New York.
PARIS, Oct. 16-William O'Brien and
John Dillon. who succeeded in evading the
Irish police last week with the intention Of
proceeding to America to lay the cause OF
Ireland before the people of that country
and who arrived at Cherbourg yesterday,
reached this city this morning.
In an interview to-day Mr.. Dillon said
that after the yacht on which he and Mr..
OBrien had made their escape had been
out two DAYS the supply OF Illuminating oil
ran out and in oonsequencsit IL was impossible
TO light the yachts lights. This made dam
gerous sailing In such a crowded waterway
as the channel. and several times they mar
rowly escaped being run down by passing
steamers, some of which came perilously
near the yacht
WANTED TO KEEP HIS ENGAGEMENT
OBrien's sole object in refusing to face
his accusers to the end In Tipperary was to
keep his engagement TO speak in aid OF the
Irish cause in America. He was confident
that the mission to that country would meet
with success. The national party were in
perfect accord, and ireland had implicit
confidence In Mr.. Parnell. The death of
Gladstone or the bankruptcy of the nation al
league were the sole hopes Of the tories in
their fight against parliamentary agitation
for Irish home rule.
TO SAIL FOR NEW YORK.
Dillon and O'Brien will remain In Paris
for three days, when they will proceed TO
Havre, where they will take passage for
New York.
La France says that Dillon ane O'Brien
state that after they have finished their
mission in the United States they will go
back Co Ireland aud surrender themselves.
The paper says they were both exhausted
by their voyage across the channel.

Mr.. Dillon said he had nothing TO conceal
regarding the motives for flight for himself
and his colleague from Ireland. ut Is our
wish," he said. ito submit the condition of
Ireland, and appeal on behalf of their
unhappy brethren to 1000, 900 or 5000, 900 OF
Irish people in America The Americans are
greatly interested in ireland, and we have
no doubt Of the political and financial sue
cess of our mission. We need money for
the struggle against the landlords and &c
assist the unhappy tenants, who are perish
ing from hunger, and to build houses for
the evicted families. The government
wanted TO deprive the sufferers of these
resources, and therefore we did not hesitate
to hee."
FLIGHT THEIR ONLY RESOURCE.

actions brought by the government aRains
other Irish members OF parliament and
| journalists. ana said that the only resourc,
for himself and O'Brien was flight. They
