LONDON, oct. 1.-THE London CORE
spondent Of the Liverpool Post saws he has
heard that the Irish police have been in
structed TO proceed on the track Of Messrs
Dillon and O'Brien, and arrest them before
they can commence the campaign in
America. This involves an action under
the extradition laws. Apropos Of the re-
port, the Pail Mall Gazette prints the fol-
lowing paragraph
The Gazette, which is the strongest sup
porter Of the Irish in England, then goes on
TO say: 1--WE do not think that all the Eng
lish supporters Of the Irish cause altogether
like the escape or escapade Of Mr. Dillon
and Mr.. O'Brien. II is smart, OF course, and
funny. but TO many the ceverness seems
too clever. II will rouse Irish American
enthusiasm 10 fever heat. and add tens OF
thousands Of pounds TO the proceeds. There
will be doubtless an O'Brien performance
in America, and the melO-drama 10 bc
played TO the American gallery viii un-
questiOnaly bring down the house,
"Mr. BalfOur." said a leading lrishman
in London, has only one more mistake TO
make, and he will make it if he takes pro-
ceedings under the eXtraditiOn acts. Not
only would the Republican Government II
it assented to the eXtradition Of Messrs.
Dillon and O'BTien, endure the defeat OF It's
party at the next election, but a million
Irshmen would stand at arms in twenty
four hours, and Canada would not be worth
a couple of hours purchase"
CIRCUMVENfING THE GOVERNMENT.
TIrPERARY. oct. 1l.-Mr. Timothy IIar-
ringtOn, NJ. T., in an interview by Dal-
ziel reporter, said: "from the commence
ment il was clear that the prosecutions
were a dodge TO prevent Dillon and O'Brien
from proceeding 70 America. NO sooner
had the date of their departure been an
nOunced than the prosecution was set on
foot for acts six months old. O'Bren and
Dillon saw clearly that it was plot 10 pre-
vent the appeal TO their american friends
and were informed that the instructions tp
the prosecuting counsel were to ask that
the defendants be put under BOND 20 Keep
the peace.
The Crown knew that this the defendants
would refuse to do. Hence imprisonment
would follow, and their American mission
would be frustrated
"Then YOU say, Mr.. Harrington, that the
knowledge Of these facts induced Mr.. l)ii-
Ion and Mr. O'Brien 10 refuse 10 attend the
cOurtf" asked the reporter.
"No, they do not refuse 10 meet their trial.
ON the contrary, both are determined L.
face the trial; but they are equally d"lef-
mined to defeat Mr.. Bali0ur's scheme oi
preventing the appeal TO America. Ihol
will first proceed on the American mission.
and when they have placed the cyicicd
tenants in a position of security they VIII
readily submit 10 any form of trial Mr. Bal
four may.chO0se.'
The Star answers the charge that Mes-r-.
Dillon and O'Bren have thrown away l2,OoO
bail of the Leagues money by saying That
their gains in America Will wire out thai
amount ten times over. Certain OF the Ln--
lish Radical press doubt the wisdom Of ihe
flight. and it is said that Mr. parncll is also
opposed - the elopement policy, having for
that reason absented himself from the Dub
lin gathering.
THE AUTHORITIES NONpLI ssED.
DUBLIN, oct. ll.-Though the warrants
for the arrest Of Messrs Dillon and OBricn
reached Dublin Castle to-day, the Crown
advisers are Ia the dOldrums at the in ie-
cisiOn of the detective officers who this
afternoon are without the legal instrument
necessary for arrest Of these gentlemen.
No word has as yet been received from the
fugitives. aud the detectives say they last
saw Mr. O'Brien riding in an open car
riage with his wife in Dublin on Wednes-
day Since that day the officers are entire
~ at fault. Mrs. O'Brien remains IN Dub
lin, and was seen walking in O'Conncll
street with two other ladies to-day. She
seemed bright and lively and in yeiy high
spirits. The prosecution in Tipperary Will
20 on in spite Of the absence of Messrs.
Dillon and O'Brien.
