The niecting adjourned , and the members

At the convention hal the delegates began

rlvell about 10 o'clock and enlivened the
place with popular airs , which the delegates
apiliauded.
The delay In opening the convention was
I caused by a conference being held In the
. I rooms occupied by Messrs. lii , Murphy and
Plower. It was said to be for the purpose or ,
I WrS
trying to persuade John Boyd Thacher or
Albany , who Is personally friendly to both
sections or the party , to accept the nomina-
tlon for the comptrolierslilp. Mr. Thacher
refused absolutely at first and then began a

duce him to fall Into line. I was even ad-
mittcd that word had come from Washington -

an anxious crowd of the 'upporters of the

CHICAGO , Sept. 25.-With renewed vigor
the delegates to the ( Irish convention be-
gan their regular session on the second day
at Asoclaton hal tolay. Little time was
lost In preliminaries , and the election or per-
manent ofcers was put through at a rapid
pace and with uninterrupted harmony.
The report at the committee on permanent
organization met With not the slightest opposition -
position , the following ofcers being tlllarli- ,
mously elected : Jell P. lnerty , chairman :
J. P. Sutton , secretary : J. F. Keatng , T. H ,
lcGrevy and J. O. Strain , assistant secre-
taries. Vice 11reshlents : J. : tI. Kennedy , \on-
tana : C. D. O'BrIen , St. Paul ; C. I. ' . Dris-
coil , New Haven ; P. J. Judge , lol'oko ; Cor-
nelus Harding , pltsburg.
When the report or the commitee on cre-
dentals was submitted It was received w th (
some disfavor by a Tow or the delegates
because Dr. Paul :1 Sileedy and John Madden -
den , from the Ancient Order at Hiberians
and a convention or Irish-American citizens
or Alegheny county , Pennsylvania , were re-
fused roots In the convenlon , An amend-
ment seating the two was offered , and n
bit of a row was threatened for a time , but
the comnlittee was sustained by a liberal ma-
joriy , and the mater was dropped , the claim
being that the credentials of the contestants
were not tIlfilCiOflt.
Considerable enthuslaRm was created by a
motion to admit O'Donovan Hossa to the
list or vice presIdents , but : lr. Hossa dc-
dined. .
All doubts as to Interest In the "new move-
ment" towards freedom for Ireland were set
at rest when Chairman John F , Finerty In
an address to the convention declared reran
an IrIsh-American standing arm ) ' which shall
he read ) ' to do battle for Ireland whenever !
opportunity may present itself. The boldness :
or the ( plan as outlined by the ardent speaker '
create a sensation. That the chairman's
views met with the approval or the delegates
was proved , by the hearty enthusiasm with
which his speech was received. He outlined
a plan by which young Irish Americans
throughout the country shall be organized Into
miltary companies which wIll as a whole
constute a standing army that may at a
proper tme strike for Irish liberty .
Mr. Finerty's addreEa today was made after
he had been chosen permanent chairman
OBJECT DOLDLY -STATED.
lie said : "American papers question the
proprIety or holding thIs convention and
dictating to us a policy and hopIng wl will
do nothing to offend English sentm nt.
What do we care for English sentment
( .aughter. ) Wo don't care for English si1tl-

Wo stand on our rights as a race to advocate -

HEADY FOIl THE FHA Y.
Continuing , the speaker said : "England
stole our Parliament . We have asked I
back We have gone out or our way to hu-
miiate ourselves at the feet or England Are
we to remain thus forever ? \\e are not here
to be told that we contemplate murder or
swlndln . These properties belong to Eng-
land. Wo are here to invite the sympathy
or the whole \\'orll to our cause We are here
to tel our beloved Uncle Sam that I he
draws the sword In self-defense cf the Monroe
doctrine the Irish ot America will be behind
the stars and stripes when the struggle comes.
We are here to tel Russia I she desires the
conquest or India that our hearts and hands
are with her : the I.'rench , who hate England ,
that whenever they get tangled up In a dls-
puto with England over the colonies that
they can rely upon our support
"We are here to announce the enlistment
or young Irishmen , whether In Indlpelulent
or regular battalions , to be ready wher the
time comes. " ( Prolonged cheerIng. )
Mr. Finerty having thus outlnell the cause
and purpose or the meeting , concluded with a
ringing peroration that brought the audience
to its reel and .
Is again again. The close of
the slleeeh produced a wonderful scene In its
way the audience standing amId cheering for
fully ten mInutes After this two resolutions
were offered , expressing sympathy with the
Cuban revolutionists. A communication was
presented . from the Polish alliance at the
United States , expressing sympathy with the
objects of the conventiomi. Several other reso-
lutons and ronununleatons were ( lien handed
In and turned over to the commitee on plat-
form and resolutions.
A number or telegrams and cablegrams
nlmber teleJrams re-
calved today , In addition to those or yester-
day , approving the convention and endorsing
the cause were read by Secretary Sutton . A
noticeable fact was that many or the tele-
grams from Ireland came from the northern
end or the Island , where the national Idea
has been supposed to have but few advocates
All these Cblegrams were received with great
apilia use
A motion that a committee be appointed
from each state to form resolutions was
adopted. William Lyman ot New York moved
the appointment or a committee un organiza-
ton ( and ways and means which was adopt.

AFTERNOON SESSION.
In the afternoon session the chairman read
a clipping tram the lJl Mali Gazette , which
favorel meeting the Irish half
mcelng Irih hal way In their
struggles for Independence. The reading was
received with loud applause and the
receivd d.egates
seemed to think It was the fIrst symptom that
England would give attention to thlr ( de-
mands.
Several committees were appointed , WI-
lam Iyman or New York being appoInted
chairman or the national committee or ways
and means. Calls were then ( made for other
speakers and O'Donovan Roses , O'Nei Ryan
at St. Louis , and Delegates O'Leary or Mon-
tans , Ianglon , or New York and Wlhere ot
lennsylvanl : repoded.
Hesu was given an ovaton ! when he arose
to address the me lng. lie said In part :
"I am not In fever at waittng. In my judg-
meat the time 10 strike Is when you are

those notes were In banks and the holders
demanding payment. These lessees arguel
that by taking new leases from the agent
they would be obliged to pay twice for the
land. The company , In an effort to protect
its sUblessees , has instituted the pending suits
at law. The report clearly Indicates that the
Interior department will defend the Indians
In their right and ultimately , If possible , Ils-
possess the land company and its sublessees.
The only Important developments during the
year Is the trouble between the Bannock In-
diana and the whies at Jackson's Hole , Wyo.
On this mater CommissIoner BrownIng encloses -
closes a fernier special report he made on
August 17. Since the report , however , the
whole mater has been referred to the Ie-
partment or Justice , arid the attorney general
has repented . that no Indians are now con-
fined In Wyoming for violating the game
laws or that state , those who were hell hav-
lag been allowed to escp . The Deparl-
ment of Justice docs nol see how redress
can be obtalnCl for the 1Ilians who have
paid their fines. Commisioner Browning
quotes front the recent reports at Agent
Teter to show that the Indians are still sul-
len and they demand that the whites who
honnded them be arrested , and the commis-
sInner asks whether or not the Deparmtent
or Justice cannot do something toward pun-
Ishing the ore'lders.
A new feature In Indian affairs has arIsen
over the contest initiated by white men for
allotted Indian lands. The rlloteness or the
Indian claims from agencies and settlements
has made I dl cul to give the Indians proper
defense , but agents and district attorneys
have been requested to look after their In-
tuests. 'he contests have caused the In-
dian agents a great deal of nnnoyance.
Commlsloner Drowning says that the mls-
slonry work of all denomlqatons has the
l'erty consent or the Indian , olilce . The
commissioner found some difficulty In making
the 20 per cent reduction ot contracts re- I
'ulred by the ( last congress and finally de-
ciled not to make a horIzontal reduction ,
but to continue the contract schools where
the government hal not a full school faculty.
Several scools have been purchased by the
Indian oilice. The attempt to conduct mixed
schools for whiles and Indians has not proven
very sat ( ae ory , owing to race prejudice.
The commIssioner urges most stringent le-
!
Jslpton to .neet the decision or Judge Bel-
Inger relative to thc sale of lquor to Indians
on all the allotted lands.
COUmls loner Drowning. says that the pa-
meat or the Indian depredation claims should
not com out or the annuIties ot the Indians ,
which are barely rulhicient for their support.

WASHINGTON , Sept 25-Consul General
Max Judd at Vienna has forwarded to the
Department or State a report on time grain
crop or the world for 1895 , compiled front the
report 0 : the annual international grain fair ,
which Mr. Judd commends as trustworthy.
The abstract furnished by Mr. Judd shows
that the wheat , rye , brleYml , oat crops or
Europe arc somewhat below the average
while corn Is exceedingly promising , and It
Is expected that the yield will he one-hair
again as large this year as It has been on an
average for ten years. Canada shows an In-
crease or about 6,000,000 meters centneres In
wheat , whie India shows 1 loss at about
double timat quantity , both as compared with
18Dt. > Most or the RussIan tirovlnces Indicate
an Increase In wheat and rye. The Austria-
Hungary wheat crop Is poor In quality and
less In quantity ( nan usual. . A lighter whet
crop Is also indicated Ia I the United States.
The French crop Is estimated at 98 per cent ;
rye , at tOG : oats al D 5 er cent or time aver-
age. The wheat crop ot Oreat BritaIn and
Ireland Is put down as poor and Is estimated
at from 40 to 60 ocr cent ot the average.
The English barley crop will be better than
the wheat crop , but the 'qualy will be poor.
Egypt wi export considerable wheat.
I Is antIcipated that the loss on wheat In
India and time United States will be com-
pensatell for by the gain In Canada and
Russia and that taking thIs crop throughout
the world . the result for the year will be
about equal to the a"erag season.

'a bill providing for 811endlpg the rcderal
constitution so that ( neither states nor mu-
nlclpalt s shall have te right to lax foreigner
or domest'c merchanjl a entering or In transit
throUgh their respective jurisdictions. The
bill now goes to the seuate. The measure
wi be one or the most radical rerorms ever
adopted herc , as It emphasizes the federal
authority and removes at one blow all oh-
stacles to the transfer ot merchandise within
the republic. Hitherto many states and even
towns have IJlaced CUSloms duties against
both foreign and domestic merchandise , and
alhouJh within a few years some or the
more proJleslve states have removed the
state custom houses , time practce hS pre-
veiled to tire extent or depriving this country
at the fullest m aure ot free trade within its
borders , and has badly embarrassed railway
companies , which have had to deal l often wih
ten to fifteen state custom houses and municipal -

to bring about this great reform lw.
