LONDON, Sept. 24. (.Special Cablegram.)
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.
Mr.' Redmond and hla colleaguaH'rwad'

"the mistake of telling the American that

lie Is advised to tell them that the Urltlsh
friends of Ireland are doing "Just every

To Rewind Aualo-Kaxone.
From another source conies the advice
t "remind Anglo-Haxons In the states that
It was Irish blood, not Urltlsh, that was

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.

audience. Although the senator has had a
strenuous week with two or three meetings

audience here to the end. with nis ciear
of republican policies and his
analysis of democratic Incompetency to re

He said that democratic incompetent
was fundamental, that Its time-honored

enacting any of the progressive legislation
that the people of Nebraska believed In and

Body of Michael
Rold is Found in

Poi.ictf Completely Baffled, Being
Unable to Solve Mystery of the
Man's Death,
CHICAGO, Sept. 24. (Special Telegram.)
The body of Michael Hold, a wealthy
real estate dealer of Posers' Park, was
found today in a secluded spot on the
north brancln of the Chicago liver with a
handkerchief wound tightly round the
neck. The police are Investigating his
death on the theory that the victim was
lured to the place and strangled by rob
bers or personal enemies., Hold was. 50
years old and lived at 110 Lunt avenue.
The police Immediately began work on
llio theory that Rold had been murdered,
but at every stage of the preliminary In
vestigation they were baffled. It ap
peared to be one of the most mysterious
mysteries In the annals of the police de
partment. Mr. Rold had been inisatng from home
since Thursday. Members of the family
were emphatic In the belief that he had
been murdered. The motive for the aup-
posed crime, however. Is o mystery which
the police attempted to unravel. Robbery
was not the motive, as a gold watch and
chain and a purse containing S3K.20 were
found In the victim's clothing.
