JJI.K.J A representative of TUB Hr.icnllcd
on lion , .lohn P. Sutton , secretary of the
Irish National Lcacuo of America , and
elicited the following information regarding
the forthcoming convention at Chicago. In
reply to the query whether the convention
would bo in favor of the I'arnellltes or anil-
I'arncllltes Mr. Sutton mudo the following
statement :
The convention will bo perfectly independ
ent of all Irish factions. In accordance with
the resolutions of tha Cincinnati council
incotlnp , ofTers of arbitration were made to
1'nrnoll and McCarthy. Parneli's answer
wn-s studiously ovnslvo and McCarthy made
no reply. When the convention was called
to moot at Chicago October 1 nnd 2 , the fol
lowing cablegram was sent thu leaders of
each faction :
" 'Convention meets Chicago October I.1
Mr. I'ftrnell replied as follows :
" 'Hcynit unable visit America October ,
possibly Inter what do you sui/KestC "Mr.
I'nrncll probably wanted a further postpone
ment of the convention ; butttio days for sub
mission to the whims of Irish loaders have
pnsped forever , " said Mr. Sutton.
Mr. McCarthy , after many days of medita
tion , answered :
" Cnblcpram received , thanks. "
"By 1'nrni'U in power and Pnrnoll out of
power , and by tho' members of McCarthy's
following , whether united or disunited , the
treatment accorded to the Irish National
league , of America has been cowardly dis
courteous , and , I may say , treacherous , de
clared the gentleman. "You can therefore
bo perfectly certain that the coming conven
tion will bo entirely ludonundont of Irish fac
tions. "
"But have you not seen comments in Cath
olic newspapers stating that the convention
was to bo a Parnnlllts convention i"
Mr. Mutton smiled nnd replied :
"My dear uir , what the average editor of a
distinctively Catholic newspaper does not
know about the Irish movement would till
volumes. Kxcopting a half dozen really able
journals , the rest are more barnacles on thn
Catholic church. The respectable .class of
Cathollfi pupors are slow to form opinions on
matters of which they cannot bo supposed to
have n thorough knowlogo , nnd they value
too highly their character tortruth and sound
judgment to rusti Into editorials on the basis
of imperfect Information. The barnacles
niako tip for deficiency of intellectual power
In the vehemence of their scurrility and the
Bhamolossncss of their falsehoods. The call
for the convention , made on the broadest
possible basis , the objects for which the path-
crinir has been convened , the very wording
of tbu circular , all point to the desire of the
league executive that this convention shall
devote its solo attention to tno udoptlon of
the best means to reunite the Irish people
ple and romovn from the Irish naino
the disgrace Inflicted upon It by the present
condition of affairs in Ireland. There will bo
rumors nnd whisperings of trouble nt this
convention , ns before nt all previous conven
tions of the Irish race , but the coming gath
ering will only be ono moro proof of the con
servatism of the Irish character , and like its
predecessors , the next convention will bo ono
of harmony , and In that ( jtiallty. In marked
contrast to many American political conven
tions that I have attended. "

W ASIIIXHTOSD. . C. , Sept. 5. )
Secretary Proctor has determined to pre
pare for the future handling of America's
warlike Indians. Ho foiinil during the scrimmage -
mage with the Sioux of the northwest last
winter that the army ofllcors were dctlcicnt
In knowledge of the Indians plans of carry
ing on war. It is the general Idea with
America's soldiers and citizens that the In
dians rely upon their dash and cunning for
success In battle ; that they have no well ma
tured plans for organizing and carrying on
battle. It Is true they do not tiavo quadruple
lines and care nothing for the tactics of regu
lars , but It was soon found that they do not
fight without system and deliberation , and
that In skirmishing and attack they are su
perior to soldiers , both regular and cittzons ,
Secretary Proctor has detailed Captain
Cusslck of the army to ascertain all possible
Information about the Indians' modes and
write them out In a comprehensive report for
general circulation in the army and the In
dian .sections of the country generally.
Concerning Dongluc' Successor.
It is said , by way of explanation of the np-
polntmont of a temporary resident of Haytl
as minister to that country to succeed Fred
Douglas , instead of naming ono of the many
applicants among the colored republicans
from Ohio , Indiana , Now York , and other
states thill the president arrived at the con
clusion some time ago from what Minister
Douglas and others inmiliar with the subject
reported to him that It would simply be an
experiment to send another man to that post
directly from the United States , as few men
would bo willing to suffer the ordeal or take
the risk of acclimation , It was therefore
Important that some ono should bo named
who was acclimated.
War Department Humors.
At the war department this afternoon it
was announced that nothing was known of
the report that the ncadquarters of the de
partment of Arizona were to bo removed from
Kan Diego to Denver and Colorado taken from
the Department of the Platte , ns stated in n
regular dlsnatch from Omaha this morning.
There has been some dissatisfaction among
certain o Ulcers with the present arrange
ment , but no ono hero appears to know of
any contemplated step like that suggoJtod in
the Omaha dispatch.
