MR. DEPgW INTERVIEWED.

seiNed AhroAd EnteftalutnElY Set Forth for the Benefit of Those of Is Who Must Stay at Home Englishmen's Preference for America and Americans.
 NEw YORK, Sept. f6.-Chauneey NJ. pepew arrived from Europe Saturday night on the steamship Paris. In an interview yesterday concerning his va cation trip he had the following to say:
 We arrived at Southampton at the close of the elections in England after one of the smoothest of passages OH a summer sea. The progress of Ameri- can methods in the old country Is ex- traordinary. They say we have al- ready ruined their weather. Five years ago the London newspapers sent me a letter politely requesting the appointment of tune convenient to myself when representave might call, and afterwards submitted proofs. Three years ago reporters called and sent up their cards, but asked few questions, principally about American securities. This year the steamer landed at o'clock in the morning At ( o'clock went down to breakfast to find reporter by my chair, saying in q Ueil-remembered New York way:
 Are you Mr Chauncey NJ Depew? Well then I want a column on these subjects upon which lam instructed to get your views.
 "fhere were a dozen questions coy ering the elections, finance, industrial prospects and the policies of parties 1t was impossible not to recognize and respond to such touch of home, the interview in whole or part appeared in all the English papers.
 In one respect the result was inter- estng and showed the development of the American in England with social ambitions. The interview gave the Anglomaniac the opportunity and they improved it in the press at dinners and in the drawing rooms One of the questions was: What is the American idea of home rule, and how generally are Americans of one mind on the sub- l ject?' My answer was substantially that home rule is the cornerstone of l our institutions and our people are ] practically unanimous on that subject, i that there never had been any division i among us as to home rule for Ireland, and we could not understand the real or manufactured fears 6f the l adoption of the policy leading to the l disruption of the British empire On l the contrary we thought the adoption Of the federatve principle would beae- fl England, Ireland, Scotland. Wales and the colonies; that we were heart- ] fly in favor Of English speaking peo- pies leading the world and wiling that the British empire should have a first place in the affairs of Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. but that we would neither consent to nor per- nit the control or occupation by any European power of the republics of ] America
 ..Now, onr English kinsman loves frankness and fair play, He is an in- tense partisan and born fighter. but he has too good an opinion of himself to like an imitation of himself from any other country He doesn't care for Anglo-AmericanS or Anglo-F French men. or tugto-Germans or Italians. He likes genuine representatives of any people, and is most hospitable in his home and family. Certainly, did not experience any of the dreadful consequences predicted for telling the truth.
 Can you tell, sand an American ladY, the wife of most agreeable but moss-covered tory, the difference be tween a conservative and radica over here? l have never heard but one side told her she could differ  entiate them on this generalization A British conservative wants every thing to remain as it exists, no matter how bad it is, and radical to change everything no matter how good it is.
 "0ur enlarged navy. our recent col lision with the British foreign ofIie, over Nicaragua and Venezuela, our in creasing int crest in foreign relations and the possibility of an administra tion which will enforce the Monro, doctrine, has created new and un usual interest in the affairs of th, United States. This is evidenced il the Times appointing Mr. Smaley it. special corresp spondent in the United States and printing several columns O his cables. The statesmen of botl parties would like sort of offensiv, and defensive alliance with us. Thel want our help in China and in Japan and in the difficulties arising ont e Russian, German and French hostilit, and aggfesSiveness in the east, am would gladly bundle all American matters into our hands in exchang for such an understanding.
 "'The strength of the tories is in tn cities. They have no temperance O reform fads or fadists, and the Hquo and beer interests are solidly witt them. The London districts whicl return members of parliament hav, five times more population and vote than the Irish districts, and the on' most uppermost idea with every con scrvatiee you meet is to minimize lrisl power in parliament by taking ava, twenty-three seats from Ireland an, giving most of them to London.
 In q sense this tremendous growtl of cities, while the country stands stil or decreases in population. is the sam difficulty which our New York consti tutionaI convention tried to settle b preventing the cities of New York an, Brooklyn from ever having q ma ioritr of state senators. While Ireland population has run down from 000. co 10 10000 that of London has in creased from 9 o00, GOO to 6,000, GOO.
