THE BREACH

the French steamer La Ga~coene which sails at
a. 90. today. r. p. Otounpr. VI. T.. who now IS the
only one ~ the six Irish delegate, remaining in this
country, saw him OF. Ecfore leaving the Hoffman
House SIR Dillon made the following statement 10
a reporter Of The Trbuue concerning the object OF
hi, journey
"D,rhcultes having arisen u the coui,e Of the
negotiation, going on between Mr.. O'Brien and Mr.
InmeL have been called upon TO commit myself

utterly Impossible 10 incur thl, cmcndou, responsibility
ou the Information which /, at my disposal by cable

character and leaves i'm the dark with regard 10 a
uumbcr " matters having vital hearing on my views
have therefore decided 10 go 10 France by moirow'>
steamer with tho full approval and at the request OF
Mr. OIricn. aud | have ASKED thar the negotiations
should be prolonged. to give me opportunity
OF taking part I'm them. and Of expressing my opinion
on the matters upon which II has been sought with
full Information and after consultation with my col

ton, broken oil. lons there j., hope left Of 70
uniting the Irish party Nothing can be- lost. aud
everything may be gained. by DELAY. Under these cir
cum,tan,cs therefore, IL is clearly the duty ~ those
are parties the negotiations and who really de
that they may succeed. 10 abstain from all public
comment ON them uutil every effort has been used 70
bring about satisfactory settlement. repetition Of
such scenes a. characterized the Kilkenny election and
Mr. Paruels campaign, at Dublin and Cork would in
eyitably ruin the Irish cause for several years % come
IN my Judgment there is but one hope Of saving tho
movement, and that lie, in arrangement by which
the Irish party can he rcuUItcd. rhi, IN, been my
conviction all along and careful study of the homo
new ,papcrs during the last three week, has confirmed
me IN this conviction.
II the struggle between Mr.. Parncl and majority
OF Ia, party prolonged II would matter very
little which side would win. for the Irish cause would
be lost It i, then plainly the duty Of every Irshman
who value, the Irish above the personal feelings
OF ndlv duaf, 10 SEQ that the present truce is MOI
broken. and that cNcron Is spared 80 long there
remain, hope OF saving Ireland. And believe that
the Irish people all the world will very bitterly
condemn the who Is the first 10 brea. the truce
and the strife in Ireland. With the information
my possession believe that it i, still possible to
reunitc the party. save the general election In Eng
land. and thereby secure Home Rule within the next
three years But the chances Of cnccting all this will
almost entirely vanish if further campaign is to be
started Ireland in the interests OF either party to
the present dispute, aud il this is done trust that
the Irish people will know where 10 fix the rr,pon,i
billty FOR the results which l fear will inevitably
follow

about the statement made by Mr.. Dillon, and he re.
