before the committee on behalf of
the executive committee of the irish
National League, and delivered
long and interesting address on the
subject Of the ownership of Amsri-
can lands by foreigners. "A resolue
tiOn requesting the com mittee on
resolutions to consider this subject
was adopted at to.day's session OF the
convention. The address or Mr..
Sullivan, after showing that it was
the intention of the founders of this

welded itself upon our country,
namely, the creation of q immense |
absentee landlordism, by which the
riches of our soil and the results of |
