John Redmond and Timothy Harring-
ton have issued statement in reply to
O'Brien's recent revelations in connec-
ton with the Boulogne negotiations.

as "artful, dishonest misrepresentation,
a shameless breach of confidence, and a
wanton outrage on the memory of the
dead leader" They accuse Dillen and
O'Brien of suppressing various letters
which passed between Parnellites
and Messrs. Gladstone and Nor
ley, the Liberal leaders. They
also allege that O'Brien was not satisfied
with the promises of the Liberals, and
in support of their statement challenged
him to publish letter which they say
he wrote to Morley, begging him to
amend his assurances, and Morley's re-
ply, in which he refused to alter single
comma. N M
