THE FISHER INCIDENT.

SIR JOHN QUICK’S VIEW. London, July 26. Sir John Quick, in a speech at Plymouth, saidt that. Mr Fisher might speak for himself and a sirai! ci.-que of Socialists, but the stucement was a perversion and a gross rcisrepvcsontation of the views of the great mass of the Australian people and the Australian democracy. Sir John, Quick’s explanation was that the Socialistic Party was threatening to depose Mr Fisher from the leadership, and his anti-British and anti-imperi-al speech was a sort of rallying counterblast for the extremists and revolutionists. IN TER VIEW ACCURATELY CABLED. London, July 26. Mr Fisher’s interview was accurately cabled. Trio “Globe” says that Australians wore not long in repudiating Mr Fisher’s sentiments. They fully realise the value of the Imperial connections, and have no belief in the poisonous Laurior doctrine of taking aIK the advantages and parting company in time of, danger. Apparently Sir W. Laurier’s views captivated Mr Fisher. (Received 27, 9.0 a.m.) Sydney, July 27. Condemnations of Mr Fisher’s alleged interview continue to pour in, although a majority of public men reiterate that a mistake occurred, Mr O’Malley’s reference to “spooks” hascaught, on amongst Labour supporters. Mdny -seriously allege that Mr Stead dreamt he had an interview.
