dresses that had been presented to him he said
that he had done his part toward the soluti n of
the Irish problem when he had the confer ence

arriving at a settlement of the difficulty was
entirely the fault Of others. He had made up
his own mind on the subject within twenty
four hours after the first interview with Mr..
U Brien. He was ignorant as to what action
his trembling and vscillating opponents had
decided upon, but If no solution was found the
fault would not be his In an interview Mr..

truth in the report that he would retire uncon-
ditionally if Mr.. o Brien was satisfied that the
liberal leaders in that case would promptly de-
clare their home-rule scheme.
