The address telegraphed from Now York , in which Dr. Thomas Addis Emmet , president of the National Federation of America , pronoun-sod Mr. Painell un worthy of further trust , was answered today by Redmond and John O'Connor ' , the Irish members of parliament , representing Parnell in the United States , The answer says that Emmet , president of the federation and Kelly , treasurer , represent only themselves. The federation Is composed of n few gentle men of social distinction , who. "resolved" themselves Into nn organization , but who 'ovor sought the i > anctlon of a public meot- iiifr , well knowing tUat"tho mass of ' Irish- Americans is against them. The address says : The statements In Mr. Emmet's circular are founded on falsehood. Ho criticises the circular severely and lays blame for the rupture in the Irish party on ' Mr. Gladstone's interference. It said 'Mr. Parnell does not stand In the way of unity and that ho has twice offered to resign If the party would get from the liberals an assur ance that In their measure of homo rule they will Introduce such provisions as will bo satisfactory to the majority of the Irish representatives. Twice his oppo nents accepted this offer and sought the re quired guarantees and twice they failed to secure them. If these assurances were thought necessary then they nro necessary still , and the liberal party has only at any time to satisfy Mr. Pnrnell's demand , which has boon twice endorsed by the Irish party , to case the situation and end the quarrel. Continuing , the address says : "We con fidently trust that the Irish in America will rcfuso tholr aid to an organization whoso policy of surrender to the English liberals strikes at the root of the principles of self- rcllanco that should guide the nation. " Referring to the matter of funds , the report says : "It is deserving of uotlco that Mr. Kelly and friends deliberately refrained for six months from sending money collected for the evicted tonunts to the treasurers appointed by William O'Brien and John Dillon to receive the sanio and now consign to a faction. " In conclusion the reply says : "Tho fact that the opposition is urged most strongly bv Englishmen will bo strong proof that Paruoil is the best friend of the Irish people.
