LONDON, Oct. 1S.-The controversy be-
tween Henry Asquith and Sir Matthew
White Ridley, the late and present home
secretaries. respectively, over the treatment
OF the dynamiters DAILY, Devauy, Gallagher
and Whitehead Is daily gaining strength. In
anticipation OF the meeting of the Parlia-
mont, when It Is to be raised in the most
vigorous form 1t Is to be brought up also
at the great meeting OF conservative as
sociations, to be held at Rochlale next
month. Mr.. Asquith has declared that
when he was home secretary the men were
not suffering from i'll health Sir Matthew
Ridley, in the act OF release. declared their
health was giving way. Sir Henry c. Ho-
worth has conducted a fierce controversy in
the Times on the subject, calling upon the
home secretary for explanation. The qucs-
tion seems to be one of facts and dates, for
It is to be presumed Sir Matthew Ridley
made no change in the treatment accorded
the prisoners at Portland prison.
In response to letter on the subject
Daily wrote the Associated press as follows;
have seen the statement referred to and
so far as ! am concerned IL Is without foun-
MIR. Asqulth must be- we'll aware that my
health broke down I'm September, 1894, or
therenbouts, that DR. Lilly had me in the
padded cell for nearly two weeks the cir
cumstances of which IL Is not at all neces-
sary for me to so into now, as trust 1t
Is one of the things that will be the sub
1ect OF square, Independent parliamentary
inquiry as soon as the house meets. How
ever. I may say that the extent OF my
breaking down has been judged from the
fact that the medical officer Of the prison
had me excused from all orderly work, the
lifting of heavy weights. scrubbing the
landing floors. etc, etc, after that time,
and that continued throughout Mr..
Asquith's home ofiiceship.
/ cannot say when Gallagher, Whitehead
and Dcvany broke down; but. this | can
say. that If Gallagher and Whitehead are
insane now they were insane all the time
Mr. Asquith was in office, and | have no
fear of my placing my vcracity against
Mr. Asquith's on this subject, and on the
conduct of the medical experts and prison
doctors In stating that these men were

L. S-There was no change in our treat
ment after Mr.. Ridley came into office, as
