been made against the present admin

at also bring, into holder relief tse
aims, hitherto publicly denied, OF the
set OF Ma 'ionalists OF whom Alexander
Sullivan Is a controlling spirit. That
address Is q declaration OF war upon
Parnell." The address is construed
by Dewey as condemnation OF the
peaceful policy OF the league and de.
NAL OF Parnell's authority or that OF
the organization OF which he is the
chief, to accept on behalf OF Ireland
any scheme Of home rule proposed by
an English ministry.
Dewey concludes as follows: Every
man put forward by the Ogden Grove
men Tor an Office In the convention or
in the league will represent the bogus
physical force policy, and every reso-
luton proposed 10y them will contain
the same person disguised as patriot

so that the national movement may

A Valuable Remedy.

Brandreth's Pills have been used by
millions OF human beings. Their
success is founded upon the theory Of
reason, and an attentive observation
Of symptoms OF disease. Whatever
makes bad digestion breeds disease,
and whatever makes good digestion
cures disease, Brandreth's Pills make
good digestion, purify the blood ana
remove all bad humors out OF the
body by the organs Of the stomach
and bowels, They act in harmony
with vital action and work OF nutri-
ton; the strength increat es, tho ekin
and the eye become clear, and the
symptoms Of the malady are surely
rendered milder by their use. They
are harmless for all ages and condi.
tions.

BosToS, Aug. 49, Officers are look
ing for one DR.. O. G. Beers, an irregu-
lar practitioner having large business
at the South End. DR.. Beers is said to
have been quite frequent visitor at
the house OF Mrs. Sarah j. Robinson,
the alleged somerville poisoner, for
years and Is suspected Of having assist
ed her in her operations. He has not
been found as yet. The Medical Ex-
aminer has granted permission to ex-
hume the bodies OF various members
OF the family of Mrs. Robinson, it be-
ing alleged that they died from the
administration OF poison at her hands
1t is learned that Mrs. Robinson in
tende, in company with certain Boz
ton woman, to sail for Europe next
Friday or Saturday on a pleasure trip,
leaving her children behind. l. is
presumed that for funds to pay her ex-
peDses, she relied upon the life insur-
ance money which would have sc-
crued to her upon the death Of her
son William, who was buried yester-
day, had not her arrest on the charge OF

THE IRISH CONVENTION.
PREPARATIONS FOR THE GREAT
EVENT WEDNESDAY.
The Probable Contest Over the Presl.
dency-Arrival OF the Irish Dele
gates at New York.

CHICAGO, Ill, August 16.-The del.
egates to the Irish National League
Convention, which is to be opened
Wednesday morning, in Central Mu-
sic Hall, are arriving very slowly. Not
over half dozen came yesterday, but
a large number came today, and it is
expected that the full contingent will
put in an appearance by Wednesday.
The convention will be large one, in
fact the lsrgeat ever held, IL being es-
timated that 1900 delegates will be
present. The first akirmish in the
convention will he over the election OF
Q temporary chairman. which will be
the first business that will come be-
foe that body. President Egan will
call the assembly TO order and will
read his report. Then will follow the
election for temporary officers, and
sferward the appointment OF commit
tees on credt initials, resolutions, per-
mauent organ zation, and finance.
The National Committee will hold a
meeting Tuesday evening at the Grand
Pacific Hotel, wnen temporary chair
man will be decided upon. HIS name
will be presented TO the convention
the next morning, aud 1t
is expected the opposition will
then show its hand by NOM
mating a man from their own
ranks. The vote on this will likely
prove test. 1t Is more probable that
John +. Finerty will be elec'e ed by the
National Committee for this position.
As to the election OF the president, 1t
is not 80 easy to say who will be the
man. Mr.. Egan positively declines TO
serve another term, and Gays he has
no choice for his successor. AS far as
can be learned, Mr.. Devoy's followers
have not yet settled on a man for the
office. The Eastern delegates are
united on Maurice Willher, OF Mana
yunk, Pa, but whether he will accept
or not cannot DO said. Mr.. Finerty,
Mr.. O'Neill, Ryan OF st. Louis, and
Mr.. Thomas Brennan OF Omaha, are
also spoken OF. The latter, however,
will not take the office, neither will
Alexander Sullivan IL Ia also doubt
full that Mr.. Flnerty will allow bis
name to 90 before the convention, as
his election would necessarily prevent
him from taking any active part in
politics. Messrs. Davilt and Egan
spent the Sunday quietly.

New York, August i6.-The Irish
delegates to the Chicago Irish National
League Convention, Measrs. 0'Brien,
Dsasy and Redmond, arrived from
Europe on the steamer Setvia this
morning. The Ssrvia was sighted of
Sandy Hook at 3 o'clock am, but
could not cross the bar on account OF
the low tide until Of or o'clock. The
news Of the steamers arrival was re-
ceived at the barge Office shortly be-
fore O'Clock. Gen. Ksrwin, M. d.
Gallagher, Rev. Father McKenna, p.

the only members Of the Reception
Committee on hand, owing tothe early
hour Of the morning. They went on
board OF Commodore Starrins's fast
steamer, the Sam S!oan, accompanied
by the reporters. The Sam Sloan
steamed rapidly down the harbor to
Quarantine Station. The Servia got
under way shortly after o'clock, and
crossing the bar slowly steamed up to
Quarantine Station. The Sloan put
out from the station and drew along
side the huge Cunarder. Gen. Ker-
win mouoted the steps OF rhe Compan.

the commit ee and the reporters. The
delegates were not on deck. They had
awakened few minutes earlier, end
soorf emerged from their staterooms
and came on deck. A general hand
shaking ensued, and then the distin-
guished visitors were taken on board
the Sam Sloan with their baggage and
the boat headed for this city.
Gen. Kerwin then stepped forward
and introduced in a few well chosen
words. The Rsv, Geo. W. Pepper do.
livered a short speech Of welcome.
Mr.. VIM, 0'Brien responded for his
colleagues. He said: Gentlemen
The Committee, for my friends aud
myself, l will say that we are de-
lighted to receive such welcome and

In conversation with the reporters
Messrs. O'Brien and Redmond spoke
gusrdedly. The former condemned
Churchilps uttersnces as the direct
cause Of the Orange riots at Belfast
and other places. "He told the
0rangemen," said Mr.. 0'Bhen, ttat
il they expected TO be recognized by
tue English people they must fight for
1t. His policy was backed up by
Chamberlain both in his public
speeches and his letters. The Orange
men took them at their word aud be-
gan rioting. Why, they might have
been put down by two dozen police
men when the trouble began. But
what could the latter do? They found
themselves perfectly helpless. The
authorities at Belfast were higher
classes OF 0rangemen and kept them
back. Any active work by individual
members Of the police was rewarded
with black marks and often dismissal.
Any attempt TO arrest was followed by
their being confined in the barracks. /
