LONDON, Oct. 4.-The Pail Mall Ga
zette this afternoon publishes long in
lervIew with an officer of the secret
service who was employed by the British
government since the Parnell move
ment. 1t is presumed that the officer
referred to is lie Caron, whose name
became well known on both sides
of the Atlantic in connection
with the Pigott disclosures and the
famous suit against the London Times.
In the interview referred to the man
supposed to be lie Caron says that the
CIan-Na-Gael is being reorganZed IN
the United States under the leadership
of Patrick Egan and Patrick Ford. This
movement, he claims, Is the result of
the rejection by the house of lords Of
the home rule bill.
Continuing. the alleged officer of the
secret service says that the chiefs OF the
Clan-na-Gael have been i'll dlSOrgan-
lied condition, owing to the revelation
of the Parnell investigation and the
murder of Dr. CrOnin in Chicago, but
the officers now claim that the reOrgan-
iZation is quietly progressing.
The man believed 10 be LIE Caron is
also quoted as saying that it was partly
through the absence from the United
States of
who was regarded by the Clan Na-Gael
people as very strong mana stronger
man than the chief now at the head Of
that society and who is looked upon
that the Clan-Na-Gael has not
taken some decided action before
this. He also claims that there was
Silent compact with Mr.. Gladstone to
the effect things should remain quiet
until he had tried his hand at passing
the home rule bill. MIR. Egan now
being free, and home rule for the pres
ent defeated, the man interviewed is
quoted as saying that: 81 am
i'll constant correspondence with
the United States, and have
also conversed here this week
with a man now in England who Is
member of the society. He tells me
that they declare that something must
be done, For to be content with what
has been done and with the idle PROM
lses of the GladstonianS, after the I'M
mpnSe expenditure of money and life.
with their best men in prison in Eng
land, would make the Irish i'll America
ln nf
would eventually be turned against
them even in American politics."
The person interviewed then explains
at length the split i'll the Irish party in
1855. when the Clan-Na-Gael supported
Harrison, and showed how Mr.. Egan
was rewarded, continuing: IF Egan
had been in position 10 act at the last
election Harrison would probably have
been elected, whereas the Cian-Na-Gael
and
THE IRISH PARTY
were diSorganiZed, and Cleveland capt
ured many Irish votes which were cast
against him before.
The action of the house of lords is
certain to reunite the Clan-na- Gael, and
no person Will be admitted to their
meetings except those who have the
strongest credentials approved by one
OF their secret committees.
They must adopt policy TO catch the
money of the Irish in America, and tue
only policy that will do that is an active
policy. The Irish are sick and tired of
subscribing money for parliamentary
movements the result of which always
ends i'll all alliance with the Irish fac
tons and the English politicians.
= although the sentiments OF the best
Americans are the same as IN England
with regard TO dynamite, the active
party will not fail to remember, to use
the expression of Mr.. Gladstone, Eng
land never gave Ireland anything vol
UNFAIRLY Mr.. Gladstone used those
words at an unfortunate time; the pre-
mler'S words aIe treasured up. There
VIII be return to the Old system
OF secret societies, with all
the attendant sorrows. ireland is
peculiarly ripe for such policy at the
present moment. In some of the coun-
ties the smouldering embers of the old
societies are ready 10 burst into flames;
i'll others, notably in Clare, secret So
cletieS are in full swing. The evicted
tenants have been shamefully dealt
with, both, by the Parnellites, and the
anti-Parnellites and also by the present
government; they will probably fly
eagerly 10 the secret societies.
