Etruria. which has among it's passengers
John Z. Redmond, the Irish men,
Der of parliament, was sighted off
Fire island this afternoon. 4 steamer
having on board a reception committee
left the barge office and proceeded down
the bay to meet Mr.. Redmond. When the
Etruria was reached Mr.. Redmond soon
appeared and greeted with cheers. A
delegation of ardent Waterford Par
nellites presented Redmond with an
address complimenting him on his
victory. and Mrs. Margaret Moore read il.
while Redmond and those aboard listened
attentlvely, leaning over the side of the
steamship. Redmonds face beamed with
evident pleasure as he responded briefly.
Mr.. Redmond will be met by the recep-
ton committee tomorrow. He will make
an address during his stay here, and will
return in few weeks.
LONDON, June i1.-John Dillon was in
terviewed by an Associated Press repre-
sentative at Dublin in regard TO the pres
ent political situation and his proposals
for peace between the two factions in ire
land. Dillon said he found it almost inn
possible to believe that Redmond had
gone to America in the interest of peace,
in the face of the attitude which Red
mond and his friends had all along adop-
ted. The press representative asked:
Is it true that you always favored conciIia-
tion3
Quite true. Further than that myself and
friends have gone so far in that direction that
We have exposed ourselves to every hostile
criticism from the influential section OF our
friends opposed to any attempt to effect q COM
promise.
Have your advances to the Redmol party met
with any success7
Not the slightest. fear that there is no other
course left but to let the people give a
verdict between the Redmond party's platform
and our own polls
Can you briefly state the issue?
Certainly. National unity. single party Is
the only true security of national cause. The
Redmond party say: mo; there must be two
parties
Is there no difference between the political
principles of the two partiesf
None that / am able to discover, and Red
mond, in speaking at Cork last Sunday, said az
much.
Dillon declared tina. the Irish people
would not consent to be represented by
men pledged against the unity of the
Nationalist ranks. Dillon said that Har-
rington, speaking formally on behalf Of
the Parnellites, declared that they pre-
pared for an armistice but not for a union
with the men who had taken the course
that the anti Parnellites had taken.
What was the nature of your Bradford pro-
posals?
l concluded, after careful inquiry, that q
small number of constituencies will, IL con.
tested by..rival Nationalist, return the Redmond
ties. proposed that board of Cancellation be
formed to inquire carefully by the canvass as to
the changes in the doubtful constituencies and
mutually avoid contests wherever it is shown
that n undOu bted majority existed either
side.
What results did you anticipated
believe such plan would produce a result
much the same as will be brought about after
many bitter contests, with this difference, it
would probably have given Redmond's friends
two or three more seats than they can win at
the elections.
What the nature of Harrington's final
offer of Friday2
Harrington proposes that each party retain
the seats they now hold.
Why can't this offer be accepted
For the all-suicient reason that there lis no
power on earth to induce the constituencies to
agree to it, There are now twenty-nine Parnell-
ties. By far the greater number of these twenty
nine constituencies condemn, by overw helmn-
ing majorities, the policy of their representatives
and could by no conceivable means be induced to
re-elect them. They would most certainly re-
volt il we accepted such a proposition, as the
country wants united party. Very few con-
sttuencies would accept members advocating
two parties.
How many seats are likely to pass to Tories II
the efforts looking toward a Cancellation fail?
Well, as l can calculate, only three
In reference to Dillon's statement, the
Associated Press representative learned in
the Parnellite headquarters that the Lib
eral leaders had informally communicated
to both sections of the Irish party warn
ing that unless the McCarthyite and
Parnellite contests are abandoned, the
home rule cause will be hopelessly ruined.
They forcibly pointed out that repetition
of the scenes witnessed during the by
elections lately held at Cork, Kilkenny
and Waterford would ruin the chances of
the Liberals in the English constituencies.
