the Royal Artillery. arrived in this city several
days ago and lie staying at the Hoffman House.
Major Johnson lie q big. brawny Englishman.
and wears clothes OF the most pronounced Lon
don pattern. He lie making q trin around the
world. and expects to remain In New York only
q few days longer. Major Johnson 10 an Irish
landlord and tho owner Of large estates In the
Emerald Isle. He Is n bitter opponent OF the
Home Rule bill now pending before tho British
Parliament. and has much OF interest to say
about ii. A Sun reporter found Major John
son at dinner In the cafe OF the Hoffman House
and requested m interview with him. The
Major pushed aside his London Times and
Court Journal and said:
"Ah. yes. the Home Rule bill. There can be
no doubt about II. sir. 1t will never pass.

ly by accident. Ho knows himself that this
bill cannot pass. and SO do many OF his fol-
lowers. and that Ia tho reason they are so
earnest In It's behalf 1t has not nm earthly
show. you know. The majorities the bill has
had In the Commons nre due entirely to tho
Irish votes. A great majority Of tho English.
Scotch. and Welsh members are opposed to 1t.

passed In the Commons. 1t will then go to the
Lords. and there will be XII led for this ses-
sion. Gladstone will thcn lay 1t aside for tho
present. but will attempt to pass the measure
at the autumn session. and the opinion in
England seems to be that there will be an au-
tumn session. He will again DO defeated in
the House OF Lords. and tlen Gladstone will
GO to the country on his measure. and will
meet with a Waterloo.
should the bill. however. by any political
accident become q law there will be civil war.
Just as soon as an Irish Parlia m ent ut Dublin
attempts to dictate to the loyal provinces Of
Ireland there will be an uprising In Ulster and
the north. That lie very certain. you know.
