NEW YORK, November 3.-The visiting
delegates of the Irish Parliamentary party
srent the greater part of to-day in consul
tation upon their plan of campaign, which
opens in Philadelphia on Thursday. They
denied themselves to all visitors in their
quarters at the Hoffman House until the
middle of the afternoon. No changes were
made in the general arrangements for their
tour of the country. and no new dates were
fixed for their appearance in Eastern cities.
1t has not yet been decided whether they
will divide into two or three parties after
speaking in the larger towns
The preparation of detailed itinerary is
found to be matter OF good deal of diff
Guilty. So many demands have been made
upon them, and the territory to be covered
is so vast, that it is almost impossible, with
the time at their disposal, to crafty the
wishes of more than a fraction of the people
who are anxious to see and hear them. They
feel that they must finish their tour of the
United States early in January, and they
will endeavor to cover as much ground as
possible within that time. A large propor-
Atlantic coast States, but some members of
the deputation will probably go to the Pa.
cifc coast, Tor urgent appeals to visit them
have come from the people OF San Francisco
and other California and Washington towns
Mr.. O'Brien said to-day that it had not been
positively decided to visit Canada, but prob
ably the entire delegation would go there
after finishing the United States tour.
BALFoUR'S STATEMENTS DENIED,
Commenting upon a recently published
interview with Mr. Baliour, Mr.. O'Brien
said: Il see Baltour is quoted as saying
regarding our escape from Ireland that there
was no intention on his part to prevent our
going away and that he had in fact no
power to do so. That is utterly false, as
everybody knows on the other side and as
the facts show clearly. Even when we
proposed TO go 10 the council OF our party to
be held at Dublin shortly before We came
away, we learned that warrants had been
issued ior our arrest if we should do so, ana
the Government kept special train in
readiness at Limerick all day, presumably
for our pursuit in case we had carried out
our plan. Then, too, it is we'll known that
Government officers searched the steamers
at Southampton and Queenstown for davs
after our departure, and If it was not Tor the
purpose of arresting US if found, what was
it?"
NO DANGER TO THE BoNDSMEN.
Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien have re-
ceived kilograms from their bondsmen in
England saying that they will be very glad,
it necessary, to pay their proportion of the
forfeited bail bond. Their bondsmen are
Canon Cahill, parish priest of Tipperary;
John Burke, an evicted tenant; William
Hurley and Tobias English, a corn merchant
of New Tipperary. Mr.. Dillon says there
is no danger of the bondsmen being obliged
to pay anything on account OF the disap-
pearance of the defendants. They were ar
rested on one charge and bailed. Then the
complaint was revised and remodeed until
it constituted, so say their attorneys. new
charge, to which the bail which they gave
under the first complaint does not apply.
Such at least will be the contention of the
bondsmen if the Government attempts to
forfeit the balls.
