was nominated for permanent chairman by
Ex-Congressman VIM. ]. Hynes, of Chi
cago, the nominations being seconded by
Patrick Ford, thus harmonizing the two
elements of the convention, the "No Rent"
and the mo Rent Absolutely" factions.
Hynes accepted the nomination in a
brief speech and the the organization was
completed by the election of vice-presi-
dent and secretary and tie appointment OF
a committee on credentials and resolu
tions. The declaration of the conven-
ton win favor the full support
by all the Irish societies of this
country of the land league in Ireland.
Probably the convention will conclude its
business and adjourn tomorrow.
In the Irish convention Edward X. Pan
age of Massachusetts, was elected temper
ary secretary and Messrs. Harmon and
Pawderly of Pennsylvania assistant secre-
taries. After a long debate it was voted
that the chair should appoint committee
of seven on permanent organization and
rules and that one member should be selec-

! thompson, respecting storage: GThe
problem OF converting energy into u
preservable and storable form, and OF
| laying 1t up in store conveniently for
allowing it TO be used at any time
when wanted, is one Of the most in
teresting and important in the whole
range of science. 1t is solved on "a
small scale in winding up watch, in

purpose OF using it afterward to do
work bya waterwheel or water pres
sure on piston. 1t is solved on a
large scale by the application of burn
ing fuel to smclt zinc, to be afterwards
used to give electric light or to drive
an electromagnetic engine by bccom-
ing, as it were, unsmelted in n voltaic
battery. Ever since Jouic, forty years
ago, founded the thermodynamic
theory of tho voltaic battery and tho
electromagnetic engine, the idea of
applying the engine to work tho bat
terry backward, and thus restore the
chemical energy of the materials so
that they may again act vol,aically,
and again and again, has been familiar
III science. But with all ordinary
forms of voltaic battery tho rcalizatian
of the idea to any purpose seemed
hopelcssly distant. BY Plantc's admi.
rabic discovery Of the lead and peroN-
ide of lead voltaic battery, an advance
toward the desired object was made
twenty years ago; and now by M.
Faurc's Improvement practical fruition
is attaincl.' Mr.. Brush would APP
pear to have anticipated Faurc, though
the latter is the first to make public
proof of his system.
The storage of electricity will allow
OF running streams, waterfalls and the
currents of rivers being put to account
in the transmission of energy. ii has
been estimated that under practically
conditions of intensity Il
copper wire OF half an inch diameter
would suffice to take 26, ,250 horse
power from water wheels driven by
the falls of Niagara, and, losing only
20 per cent on the way, to yield u 900
horse power at Il distance of 800 miles,
the prime cost Of copper amounting to
100000. or less than SIG per horse
power actually yielded ut the distant

TEN DYNAMITE MACHINES.
The Discovcri es on the steamers Malta
and Bavarian.
New York Sun,1

New York Sun,l
| LONDON, July 25.--In the House OF
Commons to-day Sir William V. Har.
court, Home Secretary, said, in reply
to Niscount Sandon CONSERVATIVE,
that the report of the discovery of hid
den internal machines ut Liverpool was
true. Fully three weeks ago, the Home
Office was informed of the proposed
shipment Of internal machines upon
the Malta and another steamship from
America, the Bavarian. Two detec-
tives from Scotland Yard were sent to
Liverpool to await the arrival of the
steamships. Six of the machines were
found in the hold of tho Malta, and
four We're concealed among the freight
of the Bavarian. Investigation, with
\ view of discovering the shippers, is
going forward in England and Amer
ica. The conspiracies leading to these
shipments, he said, were, in his opin-
ion, connected with the avoWcd pur-
poses of the Fcnian organs in Amer
ica. It was his firm belief, he added,
that the American government is as
dcsirous as the English government to
prevent such crimes.
Sir William Harcourt further stated
that each machine contained eleven
cartridges, each OF which were charged
gun cotton. Ono of the supposed
cement barrels had, in all, fourteen
pounds of this dangerous explosive
material in it, and it was impossible
to estimate the fatal effects of even an
accidental conclusion upon such q
mass. The government, he said, was
employing every resource to discover
the cOnsignOrs and consignces OF the
machines, having only received the
warning q few hours before the steam
ers arrived at Liverpool, For the last
nine months open threats of such out
RACES had appeared in tho Fenian press
of America, and subscriptions had
been openly collected for tho purpose,
He said he thought the principal organ
of these attempts Mt assassination was
the press.
England had shown in the case of
the Freiheit that she was capable and
ready to deal with criminals no less in
her own interest than that of foreign
States, and it was the duty of every
civilized government to cooperate in
putting down with a strong hand these
nefarious attempts. After expressing
confidence in the good will of the
American government, the Secretary
said: "It is to their interest as much
as to ours, tor the danger is rs great to
Americans as to Britons crossing the
Atlantic. Her Majcsty's government
have been long fully alive to their res
possibility in this matter, and conf
IDENTIFY count on the support of Parlia-
ment and the country while they en-
ploy every engine of the law and the
power of the executive to destroy these
of assnssins.'
Sir William Y. 1Iarc0urt, replying
to {, question relative to 4 revalution-
ary congress, said: "With opinions,
however cxtravagaut aud wicked, the
government has no authority to deal
if they arc not associated with crime"
