THE IRISH PARTY.

MR O'BRIEN AND HIS DE-

TRACTORS

[press association.] (Received March 24, 4.54 p.m.)

LONDON, March 23

Mr William O'Brien, M.P., in a letter to his constituents at Cork, declared that he. will not participate in the present session of Parliament.

The Irish Party, said Mr O'Brien, had now accepted devolution and the University Bills, which, but for their opposition, they might have had in 1904. His own position having been triumphantly vindicated, and he and his libellers now occupying common ground, he did not desire to engage in a controversy before the English Parliament, which would enable his libellers to attribute to him any untoward ccmseqneiice of their own follies.
