The Irish COnvsntfOn-DeIegate ates Pouring in on Every Tratn-O'DOnovan Rossa to be on Hand.
 PHILADELPHIA, April 24.-Every train brings delegates into the city to attend the land league convention tomorrow The present prospects are that at least twelve hundred delegates will be present. Patrick Egan, of Ireland, and John J. Hynes of
 Buffalo, arrived this morning. The New York delegates will arrive about 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. The Irish national land league. representing 8 juris- diction from river towns and New York
 Brooklyn and Long Island, Staten Island and
 Jersey City, will send about two hundred
 delegates The Parnell land league will be
 represented by about fifty delegates. The
 Ancient Order of Hibernians will send about
 one hundred and fifty delegates. A question which is now attracting much attention is
 whether O'Donsvan Rossa, who is the
 most conspicuous dynamite apostle, will
 obtain admission to the floor of the conven-
 tion and succeed in being heard. If he does
 the prospects are that the convention vii ad-
 journ in chaos and confusion although there
 is no immediate prospect of it's endorsing his
 views. The action of Chairman Mooney will
 in great measure determine the success of
 the convention.
 Nearly all of the prominent land league
 delegates have arrived and the hotels are
 pretty well filled. At the Continental Hotel
 an informal meeting was held this afternoon
 which was attended by Patrick Egan, Gen.
 eral Collins of Boston, Father Cronin of
 Buffalo, Rev. Doctor Betts of St. Louis, Col
 onel Roland of Louisville, NJ.
 F. Curran of the Boston
 Globe, Alexander Sullivan of Chicago, Father
 Conaty of Worcester, Rev. James Mccoy of
 Chicago, Thomas Flaltey of Boston, Rev.
 MT. O'Reilly of Detroit, James Mooney of Buffalo and others. The meeting was called for the purpose of learning what pre- parations had been made for the conven- tion by other organizations. Everything was found satisfactorily arranged and the visitors expressed themselves as highly pleased with the preparations that had been made for them. Rev. Father Conaty was ap- pointed chairman of 8 committee of fifteen on credentials. unanimity of feeling was expressed on all sides and the report of 8 conflict with the dynamitists was ridiculed. D'Donovan Rossa is not expected to be pres ent. There is rumor, which by the way is hardly credited, that the English government is represented in this city by detectives from Scotland Yard, who are watching the prepar- ations which are being made for perfecting the organization of the convention and it is ascertained that the Scotland Yard men are being assisted by detectives from New York. From sentiments expressed by the leaders of the convention it is pretty certain that if any of the emissaries of the English are here they will have little if anything of an nell element in the convention will be largely in the majority. The corridors of the Conti mental are throngsd with delegates this evening who are discussing the situation. To- morrow at II g. ID. the National Land league society meets at Horticultural Hall to organ ize. The union or general convention on will be an immense affair and will it is thought excel the great convention held in Chicago in 1881. About twelve thousand will be present and all the Irish or ganizations in the United States will be rep resented.
 NEW YORK, April 24.-The advance guard of the New York delegation to the Irish con vention left for Philadelphia this forenoon, but the main body will leave on the GAO @. ID. train to morrow. Many delegates from 1 the eastern States passed through this city | to-day. l
 NEW YORK, April 24-Rossa in his paper l to-day says the Philadelphia convention l solved, that the delegates to Philadelphia l seeing ignominy and injustice with which 1 all peaceful and conditional methods | to win her rights to Ireland have been 1 treated recommend total stoppage of all 1 further conciliatory procedure and the in | stant introduction, adopting, cooperation 1 and support by the millions of the Irish peo- l pie in America and Ireland of those means | which are generally known by the title of l the resources of civilization Such dis | patch, he adds, twill do more good to help | Ireland than all the ranting, quacking, pray ing, bullying. obstructing and suffering of l the last ten years of peaceful agitation" He says the 'thumbugs" who cap- tured the $9O,O0O of the skirmishing 1 fund have misapplied it and have laid plots to capture the Philadelphia convention. | If he is admitted to the convention he says he will demand the return of the balance of the fund and if he is not the demand will be made by somebody else.
