The Late Irish Convention.
CHICAGO, August 13th.-During the session
of the Irish Convention here it was stated
that one of the Trustees of the Skirmishing
Fund was Alexander Sullivan. That gentle
man having his attention called to the state
ment tonight, said he had never been con-
nected with the fund in any respect whatever.
The names Of the Trustees are well known In
New York, he says; also that the ConveD-
ton was not discordant, as reported, but
was harmonious. Fully one-third of its
membership were professional men, and one
third were engaged in the civil war of 1861 in
this country The Convention had no posi-
BILE sympathy with Rosa, and abhorred the
idea of dynamite being used against non
combatants. Especially would they refuse to
assail American passengers on English ships,
when the memory Of Americans kindness to
Irish sufferers is so fresh. They believe that
the time will be ripe to strike for independ.
ence, as America did, when England shall
become involved in foreign difficulties, and
that then they will have full right to wage
war.
