The park project and the main detais of its comprehensive plan was the conception oC General Boynton , now the historian of the national commission . His public suggestion to make Chlckamnuga a national park was taken up by the Society of the Army of the Cumberland , and his first plan was to accom- i plsh this through a Joint ' memorial assocI- nton of union and confederate veterans with the idea , oC securing state asslstnnce. A memorial association was organized anti chartered - tered , but before I began operations he per- fectell a plan for a national commission , acting - Ing under the supervision of the secretary of war.

Before It was called up universal support had been secured for It , anti Il passed both houses by unanimous con- sent. I provides for the purchase oC 7.600 acres cf the Chickamauga fell , anti for the eqnal participation of both shIes In the erection - lion oC the lines and In the marking oC the monuments. All subse/luent appropriations , now aggregating $7GO.000 , have also passed wihout opposiion , Secretary Proctor took i great Interest In the matter anti appointed i the commission under which the park Is being : established.

Afterward hl recelve1 reporters - porters nt 'Ils office In the Grand Central depot anti gave an extended Interview upon the politics of Europe , upon his trip anti a miracle which he witnessed at Lourdes. Mr. Depew saId something of a sensation was stirred up among the nnglomanlacs by nn interview - terview which he gave to the London papers. One of the questions was : " ' 'Iat Is the Amer- Ican Idea of homo rule and how generally are AmerIcans of one mind upon that sub- ject ? " Speaking of this Mr. Depew said : "My answer was substantially that home rule Is the corner stone of our institutions , and our people are practically unanimous on the sub- ject ; that there had never been any division among us ae to home rue for Ireland , and we could not understand lie real or manufactured - Cactured fears oC the aelopton of the policy leading to the disruption oC the Drltbh em- pire. On the contrary , we thought the adop- ton of the federal principle would benefit Ireland Scotland , England and the colonies : that we were hearty In favor of English speaking people leading the world and willing - ling that the British empire should have time first place In the affairs of Africa , Asia Eu- rope anti Australia , but that wo could not consent or permit the exercimo of control or occtipaticn by an European power of the republics - publics of America.

' " ' 'I never lad a radical as 0 guest In my house , ' said 0 proud peer to me. Willie his rule , not general , the feeling Is. American residents In England become attached to the dominant power , and many oC them are more extreme than its leaders. Their denuncia- tons of 'Iome rule anti the views oC the Irish are refreshing revelations of the influence of environment They write letters to the papers vigorously denying my statement According - cording to them I was either grossly Ignorant of American sentiment or 0 phenomenal liar. They said that beyond the poatclans and po- liicl papers controlled by fear or the Irish vote , all there Is In our country which represents - resents its intelligence , its learning . its busIness - mesa and its society Is opposed to home rule and In cordial sympathy with the Ideas and principles of the tory party. Moreover they I told me personally that I woud : be ostracized for such.talk. wout "Then from the Westminster Gazette came its representatve with a stenographer and , a request for an interview It filied I flell three col- umns of the paper and was the largest con- , trlbuton of the kind yet prInted In an ! Englsh journal. ACer reiterating the ! tatei i ment before given , I enforced it by stating the daily and weekly press of I the United States without exception , EO far ns I knew , had editorially supported Mr. Gladstone and hIs measures ; that many of the state legIs- latures had unnlmu ' ly passed resolutions favoring It , . and that the house oC representa- lives by an unanimous vote lad received Mr. Parnel.ADHORS ABHORS A SHAM. "Now our English kinsman loves frank- ness and fair play. He 10 an intense partisan and a born fighter , but has too good an opin- Ion of himself to like an imitation of hImself from any other country. He don't care for nglo-Amerlcans , or Anglo-Germans , or Anglo-Frcnehman , or Anglo-Italians. He likes genuine representatives oC any country and Is moat hospitable to them to his home and family. Certainly I did not experlenca any of the dreadful consequences predicted for telling the truth. "A conservative leader said to ' conservatve me : 'We have won a great and rather embarrassing victory wLthout makIng a pledge or promha. We had no platform and no afrmatve prin- ciples. We simply assailed the Incompetency of the liberal government.
