Thonnnual niRctlngof the Irish Nation- \1 \ lenguo of I own was held here yesterday , ho sessions being at tlio opera house. Delegates from all parts of the state jcgan arriving the night before , but most of them caluu in on yesterday morning's rains. Thu local .committees met the delegates at the depots with bands of music and escorted them to the several liotcls. The morning session began at 11 o'clock. The opera house was decorated with the Hags of Ireland and of America. Pictures of I'arnoll and a map of Ireland , surrounded by the faces of prominent Irish nationalists , wcio hung in prom inent places. Upon thu stage were ted Rev. Father McMenomy , Mayor Dhapman , Judge W. C. .James , Rev. father Ilealey , lion. M. \ " . Uaniion , of Davenport , and others. M. A . Gannon , president of the state organization , called the meeting to order and introduced Mayor J. W. Chapman , who delivered the address of welcome. In his opening ho gave some touches to thu land question , dwelling upon thu universal law , found in animal life , by which instinct over demanded a loeal liabitation , a homo , a lodgment. With man this demand for a home of his own , was not only demanded by instinct , but by instinct coupled with reason. The mention of the names of I'arnoll and of Gladstone drew forth enthusiastic an- | ) lauso. In reviewing hastily the history of Ireland , ho contrasted the statement Lhat Ireland , centuries ago , had a par- liiunont , and now she had none. Such backward progress was a sullicient com ment on the tyninical policy ot England in its treatment of Ireland , Tlio rest- lessne s caused by the national desire for liomc , and thu lack of it in the old land lias caused the Irish eyes to look toward America as the Utopia of its hopes. America's freedom had inspired the heart of Famuli. The speaker then pro- coo'di'd to show the needs of Ireland. I'liov could submit no lomrer to foreign landlords. They must have their own homes , a free parliament , a free pew in the church of their choice. In demanding these rights the Irish National league of America johlod with their brothers across the waters. In striving to secure those rights Mayor Chapman expressed his hearty sympathy and co-operation. The speaker was frequently interrupt- by applause hearty and prolonged. 1'rcsident Gannon , in behalf of the delegates , expressed their thanks for the eloquent and cordial address of wulcomo and they particularly appreciated it as Mayor Chapman had arisen from a sick bed to come hero and welcome the Irish men of America. President Gan non then proceeded wUU an oirnosc brief , warln-bloodod and eloquent ad dress. lie was gratified , not only that they had succeeded in making an ingress into the English parliament , but that the sentiment in America was growing in favor of Ireland and its people. He re alized that the press and people of Amer ica had warm hearts towards tlio Irish. There wcro loss sneers at the Irish. It was conceded that although ono might find an illiterate Irishman , you could not find an ignorant ono. In speaking of the kinJly treatment of the press , ho made an exception in thu case of thu Globe- Democrat , which he denounced its falsi fying the Irish when it declared that no Irishman could bu a trim American citi zen. Irishmen wuro true citixons , and the statement to thu contrary was a base lie. In reviewing the league's work , Mr. Gannon pictured vividly the change since Parnell first visited America. The purpose in sceuringmoneyfrom America was not a more seeking of alms. It waste to lay a broad foundation for the glorious work now going on. Ho showed the con trast between Parnell lying on a plank bed behind the bars of a prison , and standing in the house of commons , with eighty-Hiv men supporting him , and able to stop legislation unless jus tice was done to Ireland. The Irish wcro not bigots , and the speaker pointed to historical instances in support of this statement. Speaking of tlio Tear of homo rule bringing religious dissensions and ( .trifo , tlio speaker scout ed such an idua , and declared that if he believed that this would bu the result of home rule , ho should oppose it. Mr. Gan non then reviewed and discussed Glad stone's measure. Ho was glad that Mr. Parnull wanted the home rule bill to go through without reference to the land purchase question. The speaker thought the land purchase phase demanded too much of Ireland. Thu measure might go through thu commons , but would proba bly bo defeated in the house of lords. He made a fling at "Mrs. Brown , " and predicted tlmt thu day of redemption for Ireland was dawning. ills address culled forth enthusiastic applause. At itfl close the choosing of a temporary chairman resulted in the choice ot Rov. M , Flavin , of Dns Moiues , who was nom inated by J. 11. MePnrtlnnd , of Burling- ton. ton.In In taking the chair , ho made a brief , tolling address. Ho was reminded by this gathering that neither time nor dis tance could cause an Irishman to forgot the wrongs and oppressions which ho had HiiU'ered. Many liad boon drawn to this country by the brightness of the flag of liberty. Knglaml had boon boast ing of thu ONodus from Ireland , never thinking that thu Irish in America would become the strongest of opponents. Thu question was raised by some , what bone- tit would this agitation bo to those in this land ? Why not let Ireland work out Its own salvation like any other country ? Ono reason was , that it would elevate thu rank of those hero. Others coming to this land were recognized by the governments from which they came. Not so with the Irish , They had como hero as outcasts , driven away by a cruel government. The re formatory measures would. In elevating Ireland , elovatu every ono of its children wherever they might be. To help this movement was also a humanitarian duty. During the Fenian movement the speaker wa in Ireland , and liu realised how much thu pcoplo there demanded upon the sup port of those in America. It was the same now In regard to the luaguu movement. For temporary secretaries M. F. Hc&lov of Fort Dodge , P , Ryan of Stuart , and J. P Howard ot DosMoines were elected. On motion of Mr , Gannon a committee of iivo on credentials woru named as fol- jncy a committee of live wore named on resolutions , with M. V. Gannon , of Davenport , chairman , thu others being Stephen Monihan , of Stuart ; J. B. Butler , of Fort Uodgo ; S. Bradley , of Iowa City Ruv. Eathur Mo- Menomy , ot this city. The following committee was chosen on resolutions ! Charles O'Donnell , of ) cs Moincs ; M. Ryan , of Stuart ; J , J. l-ralnoy , of Council Bluflsj Ed. Moriarty , of Ottumwa ; J. H. Folov , of Fort Dodge ; Jamrs Galvin , of Fairlitsld ; T. L. Sharon , of Davenport ; J. H. AlcPartlnnd , of Burlington. The convention then took n recess until 2 o'clock. On reassembling the committee on cre dentials reported , through its chairman , P. C. E. Lnlly , of Vail. With the report was read n letter from J. L. Myers , of Davenport , authorizing the chairman to place his name on the list for if 100 sub scription to the fund for this year. The announcement and tlio closing sentence of the letter , "Ireland is marching on , " called forth hearty applause. The committee on permanent organi zation reported the following ofilcers : Chairman M. F. Henley , Fort Dodge. Vice Presidents Hon. James Dooley , What Clicor ; O. P. Wiekorsham , Council Bluffs ; Dennis Mnhor. Iowa City. Secretaries B. S. Adams , Stuart ; James T. Noonan. Dimlnp ; Jnnics O'Dou- ' null , Burlington ; J. J. Smith , Ottumwa. There was an attempt on thn part of Dos Momn.s to have Senator Dooley nindo permanent chairman , and n littlu Hurry was caused , lint the talk was quieted down and the report of the committee adopted Mn Ilenloy , on taking tlio chair , ac cepted the honor , not merely as a per sonal one , but as n recognition to the young sons of Ireland. Ho proceeded with a brief , eloquent appeal to Hit ! patriotic feelings of the Irish hearts , llo expressed the thanks duo Parnell and Gladstone , the mention of whoso names again drew forth applause. To him the future looked bright for Ireland It was even gutting to bu fashionable to bu Irish Homoi wore coming forward claiming to be Irish who had not been Irish for thirty years before. Tno treasurer , Martin Flynn , of DCS Molnes , tiien presented his annual re port. The total receipts for the year had been $1,731 , nil of which had been for- waidod to the treasurer of the National league. A question arising as lo what should bo done with the money in the hands of Rov. Father Foloy. treasurer of the Mrs. A. M. Sullivan fund , n committee was appointed eousistiiig of Ruv. Father i-'oley , W. H. McGorrisk and P. 13. C. 1-nlfy , with power to act. The amount is about ? 150. A debate arose , -is to whether a commit tee should bu selected In nominate olliccrs or whether thu convention should elect by ballot without any caucus. It was finally decided that the officer * should be elected directly by the convention with out the help of any nominating com mittee. The convention then proceeded to elect a ptusident of the league for the ensuing ye.ir. Rov. Jnnics Fole.y , of Stuart , wa's nominated by J. C. Reagan , of Dos Moincs. Mr. Butler , of Fort Dodge , nom inated the old president , M. V. Gannon , of Davenport. Mr. Butler , in urging thu claims of Mr. Gannon , insisted that Mr. Gannon would gladly hnvo retired from ollico had it not been that the Dos Molnes papers had announced that the delegates from Dos Moines had been instructed for Rev Father Foloy. He considered that this was a rellcction on Mr. Gannon , and hence he wanted a re-eiidorooment. Rev. Father Fojoy made n personal ex planation that his name had been pre sented by no effort of his own. He was a friend of Mr. Gannon , but ho did not be- Ijeve in ono man holding the ollico sel fishly year after year. Mr. Gannon became warmed HP over thu impassioned speech of Rov. Father Foloy. He retorted in like warmth. Mr. Gannon said ho came hero proposing to resign tlio ollice , but would not submit to bq sat down upon by any DCS Monies clique. Mr. Gannon said that no 111:111. : priest or layman , had spent so much money or time for the cause as ho had. Ho then proceeded to read a letter , which ho had written the night before , in which ho resigned the ollico of president , lie had been prevailed upon bv friends not to present it , but to allow his name to bo used a.s a , candidate. When lie saw the Dos Moincs delegation was instructed for another man , he took it as a repudi ation of him. Ho proposed to appeal to the Irishmen of iowa as to whether Rev. Father Fploy's insinuation that ho was a monopolist , wanting to hold office fgr- ever , was just or not. Ono of tlio DCS Moincs delegates , N. S. McDonnell , explained that the delegation was divided on the question as to whether it was instructed or not. The delegates had mot at the noon recess and had de cided by a majority of one Unit the dele gation was not bound by any instruc tions. It certainly was not the intuncof Des Moincs to cast any reflections on Mr. Gannon. He , for one , felt that it would bo unwise now to make any change in the presidency , and ho was in favor of Mr. Gannon. Mr. Nugent , another DCS Moincs delegate - gate , explained that in the meeting at which the delegates woie chosen , ho had opposed the idea of instructingdelegatcs. lie had understood thu instructions were to support Father Foley , if n clerio.il can didate was to bo cho cn. Since coming here ho had lciriiud : that the instructions were to support him whether or no. The delegation had since coming hero de cided , however , that no league had the right to instruct its delegates , and thu Des Moines delegates had decided by a majority of ouc to disregard the instruc tions. Charles O'Donnell , of Des Moincs , fur ther explained the feelings of that dele gation as kindly to Mr. Gannon , but still ho thought a change might bo desirable. Ho thought others could bo found who , if not so brilliant as orators , might do more and butter work , and have as much oxeciitivo ability. Curtain it was that the state league had boon going back ward instead of forward , Mr. Gannon replied hotly to the insin uation tlu'the had not shown good execu tive ability. If tlio league had gone back ward , it was because of such factions and jealousies as existed in Dos Moines. J. P. Howard , of DCS Molnes , protested against so much personalities. Rev. Father Folcy ' jumped J up and with- drew his name. Mr. Gannon followed and withdrew his. Thu name of .1 , H. MuPartland.of Bur lington , was presented for president , the announcement calling forth enthusiasm , but that gentleman protesting and declin ing.Mr. Mr. Butler then moved that Mr. Gan non's resignation bu not accepted , and that ho bu elected by acclamation , Mr. McPartlund seconded it. J. J. Fraiuoy insisted that this was out of order. Thu chair decided that the convention must votti by ballot , and not by acclamation. Rov. Father Foley moved to elect Mr. Gannon by acclamation. Ruled out of order. J , J. Shea moved to reconsider the mo tion to vote by ballot. Carried. Rev. Father Foley renewed his motion. He pledged himself to support Air. Gan non in the year's work heartily , Thu election of Mr. Gannon was then made by acclamation. Thu row was over , and the love feast began with much en thusiasm. On taking the platform , Mr. Gannon made further explanation of his feelings at being sensitive about being ostenta tiously repudiated Ho paid a tribute to Rev. Father Foley , and then gave loose rein to his feelings about Ireland and its oppressor. Hu thought dynamite wua fully as justifiable as toiuo of the means which had boun used by England. In closing his address ho o tie rod to resign , now that ho had boon endorsed , and allow the convention to choosu another. Cries of "no" followed. A vote of thanks was then given Rov. Father Foley for his patriotic action in resigning. JJr * , Sharon , of Davenport , in the in terest of harmony , moved that thu resig of Mr. Gannon bo accented , and that Rov. Father Foley tie elected pres ident by acclamation. The motion was promptly tabled. i The name ot Martin Flynn was pre sented for ro-olcctlon ins state treasurer , but that gentleman declined to accept. Rov. Father Foley was then unanimous ly elected treasurer. ' T. L. Sharon , of DaVouport , was elected secretary. , , For vice president , Rev. B. P. Me- Monomy was chosen. Ruv. Father Flavin , of DCS Moincs , was chosen chairman of IJio loxeculivo com mittee. * The other members of the executive committee wuro elected us follows : Jmncs Dooley of Kcokuk , J. J.

Yesterday afternooh'Jiidgo : ' Aylosworlh took his seat on the bi\oh'-in ( ; ' the police court at a little after 3 o'clock to give his opinion in the Lucy M rct/r / case. Mrs , Frank Hubur , Julias Frank , the defendant , sat behind her coun sel dressed in the smql , costume , of bluu with fur trimmings nnd a black , velveteen English walking'hat , that she has worn all lhrou < rli the case. Shu had the same calm , satisfied expression she has carried throughout the trial. Occa sionally * he would toy with hur black kid glove , then again with a well worn gingham umbrella , and again break the monotony bv twlMingalong chain which hung around her nock to hov waist. Tlio right hand remained gloved all through tliu judge's rohoamnl of the testimony , which lasted three-quarters of an hour , while the ungloved left hand sported a cluster diamond ring and n plain ono. She wore diamonds , about six carats in si/.o , which evidently wore gcnuinu Rhino stones. "Lulu" Mercer was not In attendance. Theru were about twenty men in t.ho court room , including a BKE representa tive , to hear thu decision , expecting , no dpiibt , to learn ot some , spicy acts on tho. part of "Lulu" Mercer. The judge- reviewed the testimony from the beginning which his hearers could easily sec he was not nt all satisfied with , ns so much contradictory evidence hail boon given , Ho reviewed the evidence of Desmond , who claimed she ( Mercer ) had drank liquor , nnd that ho had hcaru her discussed by several men who gave her n bad reputation. For the state , witnesses had sworn that they had been with her at dances , etc. , nnd wore no doubt in n position to know of her character } and had she had a bad reputation they would hove known or heard of it. The testimony of John Schiforli , to the effect that she was very , very low indeed , and that ho had , after cutting her hair , made an appointment with her , mot her in Ba.vliss patk , and had thereafter largo doctor's bills to pay , thu judge took with much allowance , although , if true , It showed her previous bad "character. To which the Mercer girl had sworn she never know him. The fact that the wit ness SehifcrH had been sprung on the case after the .state had all their evidence in , and he had been allowed as a witness- in chief , the judge pronounced a.s bad for the case , and had the counsel for the defense - fonso known of this witness they should have had him on the stand earlier. The fact that the girl attended disreputable - reputable dances , thu beer gardens , etc. , did not go to show she was a lewd wo man. He said he had known and .scon many respectable women in beer gar dens , and the society that the girl had keno in might nave unknowingly caused her to attend these dances. As to Nicholson's and Mutcalf's ' saloons , that shu had been theie is proof of them being places of bad reputation , and "I think although I have never been in them , that from my position , 1 could on till ) stand swear they have very bad rep utations , " the judge continued , "lowd women congregate tliero , but 1 don't bo- Hnvo any respectable women enter. " As to Omaha , ho levicwcd thu testimo ny of Inmwiok and Warren. Warren's testimony was damaging had the judge believed it. but if it was true , with that of Frank Geisor who took the trouble , as he says , but the girl claims not , lo hunt her up in thu Hotel ( { arm on Mason street in Omaha , and .sho did tell him she was being kept by a. Union Paeillc engi neer under the name of Agnes Brown and for Geiser to keep it secret and he could bo "her friend , " her character was no doubt bad. The judge toro Gci-'er's testimony to pieces but said if the tes timony for the defense was true , he would bo compelled to dfcchnrgo the de fendant. At thin juncture Mrs. Hiibcr began to put her glove on , and prepare her water proof for taking the ! 5oO : dummy for Omaha , but rested to hear what more the judge had to say. The judge continued the e.ise ono week , until Thur.-day , May 0 , to jive both sides time to put in evi dence in rebuttal , and said that the evi dence so far in was very unsatisfactory to him ; that possibly the Schiferli and Geiser testimony was the truth , but it was very unsatisfactory , ami ho hoped after Thursday no\t to como to a .satisfactory conclusion ; "the defendant is entitled to any doubt , and unless a further showing is mailo I shall discharge her. " The counsel on both sides then began a cross-lire at ono another , both claiming thuir ability to win their sidu of the case. Mrs. Hubur then left , the court room , after waiting to allow the lookers-on to disperse , and in company with her law yer from Omaha walked slowly down Broadway to the dummy depot , having a full hour to wait for the 4:5)0 : ) o'clook dummy. George Holmes , one of the defendant's counsel , was seen lalo in tlio evening. He said : "Why , wo can't holii but win the case ; it somewhat angered mo after watching the case all through and giving my side of the case the benefit ot what little law I know , to have the judge con tinue it to give them .1 chance to hunt evidence. I'm ' Oma more going over to ha in the morning niid get that jrirl's trunk and clothes that are being detained at the Hotel Garni for her unpaid board bill and show up her letters. That's where her clothes are now. That's the true cause of her not haying any clothes. " Go to Board for wall paper.

Our correspondent who has been inves tigating the western land frauds brines his scries of letters to a conclusion this morning. His resume of thu position of affairs , which will bo found elsewhere , sounds like the snap of n htago-drivr's whip. The facts which ho presents are bald , atrocious and alarming. Grouped to gether they present a condition ol things which must bo no longer tolerated , and they suggest a duty for congress to tier- form which is imperative ami admits of no delay. We can easily get a bird's-eyo view of the situation. During thu lust year about twenty millions acresof our public lands hnvo been absorbed , some honestly , many dishonestly. Of this nggrcgat. . very nearly five millions have been entered under the timber culture act , three-quar ters of which our correspondent , who is a careful observer , assures is were ob tained by moans "cither illegal or posi tively fraudulent. " More than two mil lions have been entered under the pre emption law , and "u considerable proper tion" of these transactions have been n downright and shameless robbery of the government and the people. Now wo have two hundred millions of acres left , and they are all. When they are exhausted our resources in that direction will bo at an end. At thu present rate of absorption wo shall reach that end in ton years. Then with an in creased population and tin increased de mand for land the govur/iment / will bo in a dilemma. Ton years arc as nothing in the History of the republic. Almost before wu can think tvvico they will bo n memory , n component part of our country's past. Tliero are therefore two serious obliga tions which rest on congress , First , to make such euroful provision of lavv that swindling shall coasu to nay ; to Investi gate all claims and to iilllv such penalties to robbery that the gaping doom of the state prison will deter scoundrels. Second , to carefully examine all existing claims , and when they are plainly 1'raudulont to throw tlio land back Into the public domain. Thcru should bo no hesitation and no moroy. When the country is plundered the plunderers should bu dropped into the bottomless pit of public oxecration. " The people need all the land we hnvo , nnd they will soon need moro. Their rights are to ba maintained at any cost. Their future welfare demands the legal guillotine. Lot it bo used freely , nnd lot tlio knife bo sharp.
