IRISH NATIONAL LEAGUE

fosition of Sullivan and Egan as Regards
the Presidency of the League.
BOSTON, MASS, August 23.-N early
all the delegates to the Irish National
League convention have left.
Alexander Sullivan went to New
York this afternoon, and speaks in
Prospect park, Brooklyn, next
Thursday.
The recent letter of Patrick Egan,
declining to accept the salary fixed
by the late convention for the presi-
dent of the league, has lead to some
misunderstanding. Many suppose that
Eagan's predecessor had a salary. The
contrary is the case. Sullivan never
received cent of compensation, di-
rectly or indirectly. He. visited
twenty-five leading cities of the unio n
during his term of office, and in many
cases paid his own expenses, In no
case did he accept compensation. 1t
was knowledge of these facts which
caused the convention to attach a
salary to the Office. When Sullivan
declined reelection, he did so know.
ing salary was provided for the
ensuing year.
