A Race Betw cen the Two Fastest Trot-
tiers In the Country.
New YoRK, Nov. 1.-The possibility Of
match between the trotter Directum
and the champion PAGER Mascot, at Flest-
wood Park, has crys!allized into a fact.
After much negotiation a telegram was
last week received by Mr.. II. K. Murray,
of the executive committee of the driving
club, from Mr.. w. r. Taylor, the owner
OF Mascot, which says that the match
has been arranged. 1t is for $500 a
side, and is to be decided at Fleetwood
Park, here today.
This should be the most sensational
match of the year, as Directum has he.
yond doubt won the highest honors Of
the tro'ting turf for 1898, and Mascot's
unparalleled pacing record of 2 :04 makes
him the champion of the sidewheelers.
Efforts have been made to bring about
match between Directun and Alix
2:07s4, and though the matter has moi
been decided there lie strong probabil
ity that the match will be made and tina
the people of this city will be able to SCI
a contest between the two trotters wht
hold the fastest race records.
DIRECTuM THE WINNER.
New YORK, Gov. 2.-In a match rae,
between Directum and Mascot this after

Maxim rapid fire guns. The Matabalee

not withstand the fearful slaughter

THE HOME RULE QUESTION.
O'COnnOr Says the Attitude of the Par
Dellites VIII End In Disaster.

LONDON, Nov. 1T. z. O'Connor,
president of the Irish National League of
Great Britain, was asked to give his
views on the Irish situation in general,
and particularly the attitude of John
Redmond and the other extreme Par
nellites. O'Connor made a lengthy re-
ply. in which he said he regrets Red
mond's recent speeches, and for reasons
not dictated by any hostility to any Sec
ton following him. The attempt of the
Parnelites to retain for the Irish full
strength in the imperial parliament after
home rule was near landing the party in
disaster. AS it is, the retention OF even
so members forms one Of the most effec-
tive weapons against home rule in the
next campaign. O'Connor regards the
urging of the demand OF amnesty for
political prisoners not only perilous for
the cause of home rule, but even more
destructive to what little chance the un-
fortunate men have OF ever getting re-
lief. The adoption of the Parnellite
policy would spread the impression thai
home rule involves sympathy with
dynamite methods. This, Of course
would mean defeat.
The fundamental point about home
rule is that every practical Irish politi
clan must consider the methods anC
measures with which to get majority o
the British votes for liberals at the mex
election. Looked at from this view, thu
Redmond policy is insanity. Every vot'
given for the liberal party will be TO
home rule, and every vote asked from
the liberals will be taken from home rule
Redmond asks the liberal government t,
do everything the liberals and torie
alike believe would lead to its defeat
He asks that the Irish question b
dealt with; in other words, asks tn
liberal ministry to go to the cOuntr
without those British measures whic
form their one chance of gaining q ma
jority. O'Connor thinks Redmond
policy is leading to to the destruction c
the home rule cause in this generation.
