citing event of the journey was at Knock

| At Roscommon Parnell declared be would
adopt an attitude Of armed obseiNati0n
until he saw what solution was offered Of
the police and land questions
what He Thinks OF Mccarthy.
Mr. Justin Mccarthy, he said. was a
| gentleman OF great amiability Of character
but without practical acquaintance with
Ireland's wants In reference to the land
| question, Mr. Parnell said chat the British
parliament wished to keep control OF that
| long enough TO renew the fifteen year ten
ancies, SO that for the first fifteen years Of
an Irish parliament they would have a
constabulary with rides, swords and bayo-
nets, collecting rack rents fixed by the inn
| perial parliament.
| Twenty-four Hours Notice TO Quit.
"On the road leading 20 Independence ~
he said, ''you are threatened with delay.
l am sure there will be more, but If there
is we shall have the proud consciousness
that we have not allowed Irish nationality
70 be trading post for pettifogging
lawyers who would sell your birthright
for a mess Of pottage, and make you the
slaves Of an English party. II 1900 police
are sufficient 10 maintain peace in Ireland
why are 1900 kept herei They are kept
to throttle the aspirations Of the Irish peo-
| pie. They are kept here because they are
intended 20 keep the land question within
the jurisdiction of the imperial parliament.
This is a most vital question for Ire
land. Mr.. Gladstone gave me twenty-four
hours notice to quit. He could not give
the meanest servant less | had no alter
native but TO take you into my confidence,
and offer to stand cheerfully by your de
cision and your orders tCheers)
