THE LEADER OF THE NATIONALISTS.
HUW HE REFUSED A SEAT IN THE CABINET. LONDON, July 2. Mr. Redmond, speaking at a banquet to the Australian priests visiting Ireland, told how he refused a seat in lh© Cabinet. “The offer was included in a cipher telegram addressed to myself, care of Dublin Castle; later a messenger brought it to niy country house at three o'clock in the morning. When the housekeeper opened the door and heard that the messenger was from Dublin Castle she promptly slammed the door, saying ; ‘No John Redmond is here.’ The emissary explained the facts to a friend of mine, and I somewhat unceremoniously refused the seat in the Cabinet then and there verbally, sending a more official reply next day.’’
