Sir Horace said he would not appea: as a witness before the committee of one hundred Investigatirg conditions in Ire- land, and he explained his visit here as solely one of recreation. “1 will leave New York very soon for the west” he said. “I will lose myseif for about two months. I want to be quiet, and, compared with Ireland now, America is a wilderness.” Although reluctant to discuss the Irish political situation, he complimented the American and French newspapers on their energy. and enterpr| n sendipg journal- a0 Trerang L o donce “These men have been swarming. into Ireland for many months,” he added. “They have’'given tte world generally the truth, and American people now know more of conditions there than do the people of England.” He asserted that if the British peopls were informed of the true conditions in Ireland nine-tenths of the British public would be against the Irish bill as it now stands. Miss E. C. Wilkinson and Mrs. A. E. Robinson, representing the women's trade unions, who have been in Ireland, were among the passengers. They expect to testify before the committee of one hun- dred.
