HOME RULE FAR DISTANT.
ANOTHER ELECTION FIRST. MR. O'BRIEN ON NATIONALIST HOPES. A "RIDICULOUS PROMISE." IJr Telegraph—Press Association— CopyriiAit. (Rec. January .8, 5.5 p.m.) London, January 7. Mr. William O'Brien, leader of tho Independent Nationalists, in a speech at Cork, declared that Mr. Birrell, Secretary of State for Ireland, had frankly and publicly told tho Irish that if the House of Lords adopted tho Veto Bill three times running in the present Parliament, under no circumstances oould Home Rule be a question of practical politics before another general election. If in the face of that warning the Irish swallowed tho ridiculous promise of an Irish Parliament before tho Coronation the Liberals were not to blame. It was on the strength of that promise Mr. Redmond had cheated his fellow countrymen in America out of forty thousand dollars. Mr. O'Brien and his wife have contributed J3IOOO to the All-for-Ireland League.
