General Convention OF the Irish Land
League.

G0uordl SOuV0uClOu OF CQ0 irish Land
League.
DUBLIN, April 22.-The proceedings in the
land league convention yesterday were princi-
pally confined to the reading of and discus
sions upon the report of the executive COM
mittee on the land bill. Delegates criticised
the report, after which Mr.. Parnell commented
unfayorably upon the bill: He complained
that it did nothing for laborers, and that the
legal procedure prescribed by it being COM
plicated and expensive, would deprive
tenants of any hope of redress. The effect
of the bill, he said, would be to raise, not to
lower, rents.
The opinions expressed by delegates were
strongly adverse to the provisions of the land
bill, but it was generally conceded that the
measure should not be rejected until an effort
is made to amend it, Mr.. Brennan denounced
the bill as unworthy of acceptance it having
been made by lawyers to drag the land ques.
tion down to wrangle in the courts.
A large number of priests were present at
the conference, and they were the principal
speakers
The National Land League convention re-
sumed its session to-day Parnell submitted
responsible for the land bill and expressing
doubt whether any amendment could make
the bill acceptable to the Irish people.
Parnell again specially condemned the
emigration clauses and the omission of a pro-
vision for laborerS in the bill
The convention unanimously carried the re-
solution giving the Irish parliamentary party
full latitude to devise amendments to and
watch the progress of the land bill in the
Commons.
