ARRIVING AT MINNEAPOLIS
the party was conveyed to the West hotel
where rooms had been already assigned the
delegates. Supper was served shortly and
at an early hour the tired-out visitors were
in bed.

Some idea of the amount of good accom-
plished by the association can be conJect-
ured from the fact that in the fourteen
years since its organization $685., 500 has
been paid to 143 widows and heirs OF de-
ceased members, at an average cost to each
member of S20.5 so annually.
TO-DAY'S PROGRAM

morning, drive in the afternoon, followed
by trip on the motor to Lake Calhoun,
and a banquet at the West in the evening.
TROUNCENG THE TRIBUNE.
Several Rafting Speeches at the
Meeting Of the Irish League.
At the meeting of the Irish National
Land league last evening several very large
walls of wrath were opened and poured on
the heads of the editors and prOprietOrs of
the Tribune. The room was crowded full
with members and interested outside Irish
men and the liveliest interest was taken in
the proceedings. Cheers and applause were
lavished on every utterance or sentiment
that pleased the crowd, and the meeting
was emphatically of one mind as regarded
the object of the meeting. Routine bust
ness was dispensed with and Roger Vail
was called on to deliver an address in an
swer to the later editorials in the Tribune.
Mr.. Vail read his address from manu-
script because, he said. it was intended for
larger audience than this, viz: the read
erS of the newspapers in this and other
states, and because he wanted check OH
the reporters, such as manuscript only
would hold. He began by reading the
original Tribune editorial, clipped from the
paper itself, because the charge was made
that he had garbled its language, and he
then continued his statistics Of last Sun
day, showing beyond doubt that Ireland
was not open to the charge of national ig-
norance Reading the second Tribune
editorial, he replied to the charge
that the original Window hall men
were 1.-TWO or three merce-
nary and despicable agitators." They
were Rev. McGolrick, James r. Corrigan,
J. J. Keenan,, J. II. Steele and Roger Vail,
and the speaker gave brief encolnium of
each, which was greeted with cheers. Mr.
Steele was received with cheers and ap-
plause, and the same demonstration greeted
the name of Roger Vail, when the speaker
modestly referred to himself. He then de-
fined the origin and mission of the Irish
Land league, in reply to further structures
of the Tribune in the same editorial. The
club. he said, had sent hundreds of dollars
to Ireland, and in the sums were cOntribu-
lions from number of leading citizens, in
Guiding eX-Gov. PillSbury, eX-MayOr Ames,
NJ. w. Glenn. Father McGolrick and hun
dreds of others. All this, he said, the
Tribune was doubtless ignorant OF when it
stigmatized them as ''bummers aud mer-
cenary rascals," but he would not use the
language of Horace Greeley or of Wilbur F.
Storey, ''YOu lie, you villain, you know
YOU lie" but would rather be dignifed and
gentlemanly, and crush the Tribune by ar
gument.
At length, dropping the argument. he
took up the cause of ridicule and directed it
against the proprietors of the Tribune per-
sonally, keeping his audience in one broad
grin for half hour. He read the COM
ments of the press, on the action of the
league, including Minnesota and foreign
papers, and announced he would have the
Boston Pilot and Irish World next week.
On his motion vote of thanks was ten
dered those papers that had sympathized
with the league in its course.
Speeches were also made by James II.
Corrigan, Judge Quinn and others, all pa
triotic, enthusiastic Irish speeches, which
were warmly applauded. Before the meet
ing closed, large number of Irish-Ameri-
cans came forward and enrolled their names
as members of the league.
