DUBLIN. September 80. 1910.
Great interest is felt throughout Ire
land in the mission of the nationalist
leaders to America. and particularly in
that of Alderman Boyle. NJ. p, OF Man
chester, who is to speak from st. Louis
to Los Angeles and then to Seattle. AL
derman Boyle was given magnificent
send-oH by the people of Manchester.
Speaking with much emotion, he thanked
the people for their enthusiasm, and
promised never to forget Ireland. More
over. he promised to- tell his Irish kins-
men I'm America of the enthusiasm OF
Lancashire Irishmen.
At demonstration at the Albion Ho-
tel Mr.. Boyle after attributing his selec-
compliment to the Irishmen of Great
Britain for their answering fidelity to
the Irish cause during trying times, said
they were in a very crucial period OF
their country'S struggles. He had said
previously. and he repeated it, that IT
was a period for the rank and file to
stand solidly behind their leaders, and for
the leaders to do the thinking and the
working out of the plan Of campaign. II
was not the time for every man in the
ranks to be calling out to the leader
what he should do and what he should
not.
Leaders Deserve to Command.
1--WE have leaders," he said, that de-
serve to command and receive full
measure Of the confidence of the Irish
people, whether in Ireland, England or
America He believed that as result
of that confidence. as a result Of the
craftsmanship, tact and diplomacy OF
those leaders. their cause was
nearer accomplishment than ever it was
Many influences are at work. Mr.. Red
mond, at Kilkenny, had said that even
the stars in their courses were working
for home rule. But. however that might
be. there was vast change: one felt 1t
in himself and by his surroundings.
He was never more struck with the
loyalty and fidelity Of the liberal party
in the house of commons to home rule
than he was at the critical moment when
Mr.. Asquith, for reasons history would
only make clear, made an attempt to
rank and file of the liberal party in the
house of commons practically left their
leaders isolated, and repudiated any at
tempt to depart from the declaration in
favor of home rule.
Il believe" added Mr.. Boyle, that if
have made during the last half dozen
years, and II the scales of prejudice con-
tinue' to fall from the eyes of Englishmen
as during the last few years 1 believe be-
fore we are very much older we shall
have attained the end of the struggle.

Doors Closed to N. P.
The national directory of the United
Irish League met recently I'm Dublin. OF
the fifty delegates present eighteen were
members of parliament. At midday Lau-
renee Ginnell NJ. P. who is not a recog-
nized member Of the party, attended, but
was refused admittance. Previously Mr..
Ginnell had written a letter to the secre-
tary of the league informing him that he,
with delegates representing eleven
branches OF the league In his constitu-
ency, would seek to be admitted to the
directory, to ascertain why the ma
chinery and funds of the league are not
used to promote the objects of the
league that are vital to us, especially the
land for the people: why our repre-
sentative is excluded from the Irish party
and whether we are to be allowed any
voice whatever in our nationalist affairs .
When Mr.. Ginnell and his friends walked
up to the door they were confronted by
Dennis Johnson, the assistant secretary
and organizer of the league, who fatty
refused to admit them. After a protest,
Mr.. Gnnell and the delegates had to re-
tire. A number Of detectives were in the
neighborhood at the time. Afterward
