 MT. O'Brien, of New York, wanted to in- troduce motion committing the convention to follow the advice of MT. ParneH. This was declared out of order and the cablegram was referred to the committee on rules and resolutions. MT. Cannon proposed to start a subscription for 8 testimonial to MT. a motion to that effect, but was cried down with storm of noes. After some dis cussion the question of subscribing in aid of ParnelPs movement in Ireland was left to the various branches of the land league.

He says that the use of the word "episcopate" is of itself enough to convince him that the Pope never issued such declaration. He does not charge the English government with the circulation of this rumor and of many others which tend to injure the Irish cause, as 8 great many people do, but says that some one, either for mischief or for the sake of creat- ing little excitement among the Irish peo- pie in America, has circulated report which bears on the face of it the stamp of false hood
