| LONDON June 11.-Mr. John Dillon says that
| he has always advocated union between the
two factions of Irish Nationalists. but that his
advances have met with no success with the
so.called parnelites. whom Mr.. Dillon calls
| Eedmordites MIR. Dillon says that he cannot
! find the slightest difference in the principles
| OF tho two factions, and that MIR. Rod
| mond had substantially admitted there
was none. Mr.. Dillon charges the Parnelites
with having declared that they were prepared
for an armisticc. but not for union with the
anti Parn elites. Mr.. Dillon considers that
this is not the right spirit for Irish National
ists. and he appfehends that the people at the
polls will havo to decide as to which party Is
truly representative OF the Irish people. He
considers that tho only security for the Irish
cause is in tho union OF the Nationalist forces.
With view to union. Mr.. Dillon said. he had
proposed that Board Of Cancellation be ap-
pointed to ascertain the relative strength OF
both parties in the doubtful constituencies.
and to give to the Redmond party. without
contest. such seats as thoy would be likely to
win. He is convinced that this form Of arbi-
tration, II carried into practice. would soon
have resulted in reunion.
Mr.. Harrington's offer. said Mr.. Dillon. was
that each party should hold the seats now
occupied by it's adherents. thus giving twenty
nine seats to tho Parnelites. This plan could
not be carried out, for the reason that constit-
uencies that were overwhelmingly against the
Farneites and are now represented by Par
nellite members. would refuse to agree to be
misrepresented.
