WASHINOTON , May 0 , The otllcera
In the pcBtollico department , lu reply
to Inquiries with rogurd to the pro *
coodlngs recently taken to cloio pri
vate postal companies la Now \ork
city , nay that BO far aa the investiga
tion has gone it scums to shotr that
the moot flagrant violator * of the law
are the companies known na "Ilnssoy'R
Express , " "Bryd's Despatch. Pom , '
"Manhattan Dlatrict TclcgrapU Com
pany" and ' 'United States Circular
Delivery Company. " The prosecu
tion of this unlawful business by such
companies , the posteflioo officers say ,
not only result in the lots of largo
revenues to the department , but
materially and In many ways interferes -
fores with the proper conduct of Unit
ed States postal bnslneas and brings
undeserved discredit upon the postal
administration. The Boyd and HUB-
noy companies make collections and
deliveries only twice a day , while the
regular government carriers deliver
and collect from eight to twenty times
dally. It Is not true , therefor , that
the private postal companies are pat
ronized became their service li better
than that of the government.
The only advantage which
these private postal compan
ies have over the govern
ment Is that cf lower rates. The pri
vate organizations doing business un
der the names of "Manhattan Dis
trict telegraph company , " and "Cir
cular Delivery company , " have
recently begun to carry mall matter In
bulk to other cities than New York ,
whore they have agencies , to dis
tribute It there , thus beginning the
formation of a network of mall routes
In clearly Illegal competition with the
postoflice department.
JL NEW METAL.
J. Edwin Sherman , metallurgist , of
Boston , has just concluded hero a
series of experiments upon a new-
metal recently discovered by him , with
n rlow of ascertaining Its fitness com
pared with other metals for telegraph
wire. The experiments. It Is said ,
show that wire made of this metal has
great tenacity , does not rust and is
superior In point of conductivity to
auy wire now used for electric pur
pose. The metal which hai noirly
specific gravity and somewhat the ap
pearance ot silver , can bo produced ,
It la said , at a cost of 5 cents a pound.

stnto jndioUry , the mayor of the city
and ether dijiinguithui gentlemen , In
addition to the now president of the

In enthusiasm , and some sentiments
expressed were wildly applauded.
Judge Thomas A. Moran of the clr :
cult court bench , prodded , andlu [ ac
cepting the chair pointed to the fact
of the inability of Ireland to acquire
relief through the agency of the Eng
lish parliament and spoke of the un
fair representation granted the Irish
people In that body. Ho assorted the
only hope for Ireland lay In a senti
ment which wonld eventually actuate
the entire American nation and which
wonld compel England to glvo Ireland
favorable legislation.
MATpn CARTER n. HARRISON
said Irish freedom would have to bowen
won this side of the Atlantic , inot by
throwing bombs but by the force of
American opinion favorable to Irish
freedom.
Congressman George R. DA vis said
the honest sentiment of America was
Irroslitably with Ireland in her struggle
for liberty , but warned his hearers
that any attempt to organise ra re
bellion this side of the ocean , to be
carried on by Indirect methods , would
alienate the sympathies of tbli pee
ple.
A1EIANDKR SUtLIVAN ,
resident of the. Irish national league
f America , was greeted by a storm of
, pplftuse , and began his address by re-
erring to matters In his personal
jareer , which have been commented
pen since being raised to the head of
; he new national organization of
Tlshment. "I have known what It Is
have enemies , " said the speaker ;
It Is just , however , that I should nay
hat mauy who became so on the mis-
akon Impression of circumstances ,
.ave Blnco became , on hearing the
friends. " Pro-
ruth , my warmest -
oodlng to other subjects he said : "Tho
rest convention which assembled
, t Philadelphia was the largest ropro-
ontatlvo body which ever came to-
; other In America to deliberate on
.ho . condition of Ireland and to take
neb action as would , in Us judgment ,
> est promote h'or'Vulfare. It waa &a-
icntlally an American body. Amerl-
an In simplicity and straightforward-
ess of Its proceedings ; American In
; s quiet and sturdy behavior ; Amor-
can In the wldo view It took of pollt-
oal Ideas ; American In that it owed
, nd proudly boasted Its first allegiance
o the constitution and laws of this
epubllo , and American In Its desiree
o extend the principles of that con-
tltutlon and the blessings of these
natltntlons to its enslaved mother-
nd. He contended thai the Phlla-
olphla platform had secured an on-
hujiastlo approval f com the entire
merlcan press without nota-
ixception , and that It has
ron for Ireland to a de-
Tee hitherto nnaitsined the sympathy
f mankind. "Yot , " said the speaker ,
'for ' such IB the coudlton of Ireland
o-day , If such a platform were put
orth by a similarly constituted body
a Dublin the entire assemblage would
ave been marched under military
scort from the convention hall to the
moat llluftrouB abodes the English
ovsrnmont hai , the jillc. " The plat-
orm declares in a word that bunco-
orth the Irish race in exile Is a unit
n Its determination to aid our coan-
rymon In their struggle for self-gov-
irnmeut by whatever methods they
best for the achievement of
hat end " Continuing ho declared U
the pntpoao In carrying out the
wishes of the convention , to make the
masses cf the American people in-
ormed of the truth about Ireland.
When they understood the reasonable'
nets of her claim they would be united
n its support , and their will properly
expressed , the British government
could not withstand , Ho contended
that the method England had most
successfully practiced against Ireland
was by misrepresentation In assarting
that the land waa over-populated and
emigration a necessity , yet the pupa
"atlon Is only 1G2 to the square mile ,
while Germany has 213 and England
and Wales 445 ,
"It Is said , " continued the speaker
"Ireland , being an agricultural coun
try , canr' t support hereo f It Is true
comparatively speaking , she has n <
manufactures , but who destroyuc
them ? The English government , tha
Ireland might be an exclusive nmke
for the English manufacturers , It hai
baon said Ireland Is without capital
and that a country without capital can
not mulntatn self government , but wi
shall tell the American people how thi
capital Is drained from her tut mini
neil , and they will see for thcinselvo
that It U only by self-goverumont tha
she can keep her capital at homo am
Invest In Industries which will oreat
domn Ho exchanges.
TTcoaclnsion he said : "When sh
hag self-command she will use her owi
capital to create manufactures ; ah
will then export only her surpln
foods , aud what manufactured article
her people neei they will Import froi
America or some ether friendly pooph
Wo are told her people are Ignoranl
Bat who destroyed her school * ? ° Wh
made learning ft crime ? .Who by fort
reduced aa satin poopl * to illUtnc
In the name of religion and law , that
they might bo more easily kept In sub
jection ? It Is said our representatives
have never proposed a defi
nite plan of self-government.
Much , Indeed , their candor would
have availed In n foreign legislature
from which they have repeatedly boon
expelled whenever they attempted to
compel Its attention to the wants of
their country. But wo shall print a
roeord of bills eminently just , wlso
and notoronsly necessary , which the
Irish members offered In that body
only to see them contemptuously
thrown out , generally without the
poor compliment of a second reading ,
Americans who road the record will
have a new appreciation of the neces
sity of giving Ireland a legislature of
her own.
It is said Ireland Is lawless. Wo
shall nso the statistics of the English
bureau to ehoirsho Is far less so than
England , In a word wo have fastened
tliu attention of Intelligent America

mr.y bo n&kcd what precedent does

o no further back than to mention
Greece , Hungary , Montenegro , Bat
mark , fellow countryman , no country
has ever boon hoi pad thus that did
not first help itself ,
"Go on , then , actively with your or
ganization. Bring all your societies
promptly npon the platform and under
banner of the Irish national league ,
continue , as of old , your noble work
of benevolence , temperance < tnd chari
ty. But when we work for Ireland
wo work on ono platform , under one
banner , by ono method and with ono
aim national self-government. " Ho
declared that the Inaugural ( statement ,
with much Interesting additional matter -
tor , wonld bo placed In their hands at
an early day.
At the conclusion of Sullivan's ad
dress he was heartily applauded. The
procoodlngs closed at midnight , the
audience rising and joining In the
chorus of "God Save Ireland. " Three
cheers were given for the national
league.
