This Is possible, since the reports wor necersarily mnie up fro leakings,” and not at first hand. Such an exporicnca ought ta tonoh the professional Irish “patriots” to abandon the unnecessary: and atispicilous methods of conceallug thelr names and consultattons. If they are acting sensibly and intelligently In the interest of the Irish peoplg, there Ig no reason why thelr purposes, movoments, and» names shoukl not bu made public. If they are not go acting, attempted secrecy will not save them from oxpasure, and the public will he naturally inclined to think tho worst of thom. * Phe statement mado by Mr, Hynes, though partial and unsatisfactory, would scam to fndicate that the regent Paliner House Con- vention wasa very netable gathering.
