London Morning Papers Regard
With Interest Split In Irish Party.

London, Feb. THE split in the
Irish party appears to be one of the
most interesting features of the poiit'-
cal situation to the London morning
papers. The suggestion has been made
to William O'Brien by one Of his con
stituents that an attempt should be
made to adjust the party differences
by converting the Round Table Confer
ence, consisting of Mr.. OBrien, John
E. Redmond, Cardinal Logue, Arch
bishop Walsh and others. The leader
of the independent Nationalists de-
clares that such a conference would be
useless unless the officers of the Board
of Erin were first removed from their
present position as masters of the
funds and liberties of the Nationalist
party.
