HAvRE, Jan. 1S.-Dillon and O'Brien,
after consultation of six hours, in
formed the Associated Press correspond
ent that complete accord has been es-
tablished, adding that it was idle to say
more at present.
TIM HEALY SHAKEN UP.
DUBLIN, Jan. 18.-Timothy Healy and
Arthur O'Connor spoke at Mostrim,
Longford county. shortly after the
meeting began the speakers platform
collapsed. Healy was severely shaken
up. But the speech-making Was soon
resumed elsewhere. Healy accused the
Parnellites of having "sawn the prop,
with the intention Of killing their oppo-
nents.
PARNELL AT TRALEE.
TRALEE, jan, 1S. S.-Parnell addressed
large meeting here this afternoon, being
received with mingled cheers and
groans. He said he had done his part
toward the solution of the Irish prob
lem when he had conferences with
O'Brien, and the subsequent delay in
arriving at a settlement was entirely the
fault of others. He declared that there
was no truth in the report that he
would retire unconditionally if O'Brien
was satisfied. The Liberal leaders in
that case would promptly decline to de-
clare their home rule scheme. He said
if Gladstone had the courage to make a
big, instead of a little home rule bill, he
(Parnell) would look forward with con-
fidence to his own retirement, knowing
that Ireland would no longer need his
leadership.
The Proposed Three Americas Railway.
The grand scheme of continuous in
tercontinental railway line connecting
the countries OF North, Central and
South America, which has been occa-
sionally suggested for years past, only
to be received by people generally as the
dream of enthusiasts, and not entitled
to serious consideration, has within the
last year or go assumed the aspect of
practicable and desirable enterprise of
great magnitude, endorsed by the gov
ernment of all the nations along the pro-
posed route, and already about to undergo
the inspection of engineering science in
order to obtain the necessary data for
further action. The International
ington last year, representing eighteen
different American governments, passed
formal resolutions in favor of the con-
struction of railway connecting the
nations represented, and recommending
that each of the governments contribute
share towards the expense of prelim-
mary surveys of the proposed line. The
report of the conference on this subject
was transmitted to congress. by Presi-
dent Harrison in a message in which he
says: ~
The work contemplated is vast but
entirely practicable. 1t will be inter-
esting to all, and perhaps surprising to
most of us, to notice how much has al
ready been done in the way of railroad
construction in Mexico and South Amer
lea that can be utilized as part Of an
inteNontinental line. do not hesitate
to recommend that congress make the
very moderate appropriation for SUR
veys suggested by the conference, and
authorize the appointment OF commits
sioners and the detail Of engineer officers
to direct and conduct the necessary pre-
liminary surveys.
Thus officially and favorably brought
to the attention of the governments and
people of the chain Of nations along the
American continent, the grand idea OF
an intercontinental railway has excited
great and growing interest and informa-
tion inrcgard to it is eagerly received.
Approaching this The Railway Age has
succeeded in obtaining from an official
of the state department at Washing
ton, who is perhaps better informed
on the subject than any other man,
comprehensive statement of the
intercontinental railway project and
such information in regard to the route
and the character and productions OF the
countries to be traversed as are neces-
