under watch Of an English man.of-war.
Finally small schooner was procured by
those remaining at Inagua and they soon
reached the Tropic, which then steamed

see him win for Ireland, land law reform,
local self government, extension OF the
franchise, development OF industrial In
dnstrial interests, and II all these were
won, the day would surely dawn the
brighter, for the realization ofthe hope that
wouldspring up in every Irish heart, that
under Heavens blessing he emight still lead
on to that best and highest goal Of National
Independence.
When President Mooney mentioned the
names Of PMnell and Egan they were .vo.
ciferously cheered, as was reference to
Treasurer Egan's financial acts.
Hon! P. A. Collins, Of Boston, moved
thatth President and Secretary, Mooney
and sBYnes, act rs officers of this eonyen-
ton.
The preliminary business OF the cenven-
ton being disposed Of, recess was taken.
ODonavan Rosa was present during the
morning for awhile, seated at the reporters
table, having been admitted as represent
ative Of his paper. He was very quiet and
took notes occasionally.
A DECIDED SENSATION.
During the recess Mrs. Parnell entered
the hall and was escorted to seat upon
the stage by Mooney and Egan, and intro.
duced to the delegates as the mother Of the
great Irish leader. A dispatch purporting
to be from the Pope caused amazement
IL threatened TO eI.communicate any Irish
Catholics attacking England during this
convention, on the ground OF Eugland's
libcrality to all religions. At 3:l5 the
convention resumed business The names
OF the lady delegates, as announced by the
Committee on Credentials, were loudly
cheered, as also were the names OF John
Dewey and Redpath. Secretary Hynes
read big general statement OF what the
League had accomplished during the year.
Father Welsh read his report.
I is,l AN HEROIC MOTHER! .a
He also made statement in regard TO
certain moneys sent him for the widow
Walsh, an Irish mother, one Of whose sons
had been hanged and tie other sentenced
to penal servitude for lie. He said every
Irishman believed these boys guiltless, and
what is more, while their own noble mother
knew them innocent and even knew the
guilty parties, she was too patriotic to turn
infotmer as "some ignoble villains"
were doing. He took counsel from
Parnell about the matter and remitted for
their benefit SS76. Having read as part Of
this report the rather sensational letters
fronithe Irish Bishop (Duggan, Of Clonfert),
who denounced England y policy OF turning
arabic Irish land into pasture land, as

closed. All resolutions were ordered re-
ferred, without reading, to the Committee
on Resolutions. Il
Father Conally, chairman Of the confer
ference committee, presented a. re.
portE with resolution. He said
that the committee had decided not
to report plan to merge or a method Of
recognizing the Land League, but would
leave Il to the onvehtion TO agree on such
plan. The report was adopted.

PHILADELPHIA, April 25.-The object oi
the Convention Of the Irish National Land
League Of America, which was called to or
der in Horticultural Hall this morning, is
to wind up the affairs Of that body and
merge It with another body, whose scope
will be broader. The Land League as now
organized deals ouly with questions Of
land law, and not with those Of national
and local self.government The new Or
ganizltion will grapple with all three Of
these questions, and some others besides.
To.day's convention will first endorse the
policy pursued by Parnell in his efforts in
behalf Of Ireland, and will then devise
plans for the organization Of to-morrow's
meeting, which viii be convention Of the
Irish race in America. and consist Of duly
accredited delegates from the benevolent,
Catholic and other Irish societies In Ameri-
lea. The call for this second Convention
states It's object to be to form q newieague,
after the plan OF the National League OF
Ireland, which will blend into one organi-
zation OF all the Catholic societies OF the
United States and Canada. The new OF:
ganization Is to be affiliated with the Irish
National League OF Ireland. The principles
OF the Irish National League, which was
formed in Dublin in October lat, are as
follows: .0DDa r eIro.- Ia
First-National self government.
Secondhand law reform. - .
Third-Locals self government. '.Jl
Fourth--Extension Of Parliamentary and
municipal franchises. i'7'
sFiith-The development and encourage.
ment Of labor and the industrial interests
OF Ireland.
Those principles, it is believed, will form
the platform upon which the new National
League to be created will stand.

AN exchange says hat an old-time
politician makes the following predic-
ton, and there seems to be method in
his madness: Having elected the presi-
dent, the southern democrats will ex-
pect to be rewarded accordingly. There
will be aspirants to cabinet positions and
first-class missions by the hundred seek
ers after bureau offices, marshalships,
coIectorships, consulships, territorial
appointments, and the like will swarm
up from the solidified section by thou
sands; while those who will take any,
thing they can get, from secretary of
state or the court Of St. James down to
old pair of trousers, will be as num-
berless as the sands of the seashore. Adj
ded to these will be a mighty throng of
north men. The chicken pie will not
go around. Disappointment will be the
portion of the greater number, and the
solid south will be riven as If by light
ming" The prediction is all right with
the slight exception of electing the presi-
dent, which may possibly kill the rest
of it.

MILES CITY Press: The county a n
vassers last November announced that
the vote for Maginnis, as delegate, in
Miles City alone was S67, and that for
Botkin was 347. The vote for district
attorney was nearly Identical with those
figures, Burleigh being credited with
1888 and Edwards with 962. Last Satur-
day the school vote stood, Ladd 422, Leb-
her 173. The last named may be fairly
taken as representing the alleged ring
vote of last November. The question.
however, arises as to what has become
Of the six hundred or So of votes which
have disappeared in the meantime. The
manner in which the sIums and back
alleys of the town were dragged on Sat
urday showed that the ring element was
mustered in its whole available strength:
and yet its vote was several hundred
short of what it was declared to have
in November. What has become
the rest of the fellows?

The sudden and mysterious pardon of

three days after the tolls Of the law be-

yer saying a gentleman whose name he

pardon from the governor, and would

WE are certainly Of the opinion that
the stage line from Billings to Benton
should be made a daily. It is not sum-
cient now to accommodate the travel on
the Northern Pacific which is headed
this way. Only a short time ago some
nineteen persons We're obliged to go away
round by Bozeman and Helena because
they could not get transportation up this
way on the coaches. The.Benton and
Billings line is fast becoming the most
important in the territory, and
thing should be done to make it ade-
quate for the requirements of the travel.
