Development at ttie United Irish league convention In Huffalo next week are awaited with great Interest In both British and Irish circle. It Is believed that the proceedings, supplemented by the tour to be mnde by Messrs. Redmond, iJevlin, O'Connor and Daniel Hoyle through the United Htates and Canada, will Influence profoundly the early future of the Irish national movement. Of the four delegates Mr. Hoyle alone la not personally familiar to Americans. Though a member of Parliament from North Mayo, he goes to the convention an a representative of Ireland. For many years he has rendered splendid service to the Irish cause In Lancashire, As an alderman 'of Manchester he has won the confidence of men of all political, and re ligloua complexions. Ills Individual speak Ing tour from St. Louis, San Francisco, Los Ange!ea and Tacoma Is expected to prove one of the most Important arranged for the Irish chief and his companions on the Baltic. Many Meetings to He Held. What will give peculiar significance to the convention and the scores of meetings to follow la the fact that the national directory la determined to make a broad appeal to non-Irish Americans. Financial considerations are secondary In the plans of the directory, so far as the American effort la concerned. Of course the cause la largely dependent on the gen erosity of the "exiles beyond the Atlan tic," and without such during the last two years It could not possibly have been ad vanced to the present highly promising base. But the Immediate objective of the brilliant Irish quartet is to arouse Ameri can and Canadian ' statesmen, senators, governors, mayors and other public offi cial to a historic demonstration In behalf of - (nil legislative control tit purely Irish at fairs.

From another source conies the advice t "remind Anglo-Haxons In the states that It was Irish blood, not Urltlsh, that was i mingled with American to supply the red font of liberty In the revolutionary war." All the more anxiety Is felt as to the , moral results of the pilgrimage bscause, despite Mr. Asepilth's famotia promise at Albert Hall, the Irish regulars cHnnot stifle a fear that he will reach an agreement with Balfour as to the future of the lords, which, however acceptable to the British parties, will leave Ireland out In the cold after all. without even, as Mr. Dillon puts It, the freedom given the Uoera.

That Is tho principal fact In the democratic situation. The republican "old guard" has gathered at Saratoga already, prtpaied to tight to the last ditch, in fact there Is nothing clue for It tu do. Rooscvtit has iuu up the "no quarter flag" and makes no con cealment of the fact that his control means the elimination, root and branch, of the WoodiuA'-Uurnes machine. With nothing to gain by surrender or compromise. It win fight to the last and ue every means known to politics to prevent utter defeat and annihilation. Old-time republican say they never caw such intense ante-convention Interim. There Is little talk about candidates and pint form, but all attention is centered upon the attack which oostvclt and his cohuiu are to make upon. the "old guard," There arc no predictions of victory over the democrats; no expressions of confidence of carrying the state; no dlscuesiuns of way and means to win the election; noth ing of rage and bitterness toward Giiscom and Roosevelt and fear of the latter' won derful powers. Even tho "old guard" gen erals say "ho Is a wonder," They ado. however, that his magnetism will not uf- flee to carry the dclugutea off their feet. At present the "Old Guard" Is In pos session at Sarutoga. The member ate going carefully over thet list of delegates, searching out any possible weak point iu thet Roosevelt lines.
