MRS. PARNELL WAITED ON.
Mrs. Parnell was waited upon by a dele

Col. W. 2. Rend, chairman OF the Sc
called Palmer House Committee" and
she is reported to have said: Il think Mr..
Egan's party displays great lack OF wis
DOM" AT the headquarters Of the "Pal-
mer House Committee" huge handbills
were served round to all c0mers. Tney
were headed as follows: "The two poll
cies-what the delegates have to decide
support or repudiate Parnell Y' Read
and study what Is below Then follows

tleman says that Mr.. Finerty's speech
and address, adopted at Ogden's Grove,

and Scotch constituencies.
EDITOR o'BRIEN's SPEECH.
At the evening session Of the convention
Michael DAvitt introduced Mr.. OBrien,
editor of United Ireland. The speaker
declared that the battle for Irish freedom
was not yet ended. There was, in his view,
a long and bitter struggle still ahead, and
never in the history OF the Irish race was
there greater interest In the outcome than
was centered now in this convention.
The speaker, continuing in this strain
said: "We have to look to it
now more than ever that you should be at
our backs in the fight. If you only knew
how they are straining over there for a
rift in this tremendous convention, to
catch word or sign that Mr.. Parnell is
no longer leader. Thank God, you have
answered that today. You have sent
back a denial and shown that you are
with Mr.. Parnell, and TO the DEATH" At
this declaration there was wild out
burst of cheering, which continued several
minutes.
Alexander Sullivan arose TO say that
the Committee on Credentials were still
in session, and that contrary to the SEEM
ing impression OF some 1t was not ex Dect-
cd by them that they were TO report
immediately uDOn the assembling Of the
convention, aud that the other committees
were to report first.
A delegate moved that Mr.. Sullivan be
be called to place on the platform.
Mr.. Sullivan promptly declined the
honor, ana being called on from
all sides for speech, said
that 1t was unnecessary. The business
Ot the convention should proceed in order,
and when IL became essential tnat he
should address the convention they would
ind him ready. Mr.. Sullivan turned
slowly around and gaZed at Dis audience
steadily a moment In silence. He then
moved that the roll OF States be called for
the various delegatiOns to present the
names OF their representatives In CON-
mittees other than Oh credentials. The
motion prevailed and the convention ad-
journed till tomorrow.
RECEPTION.
AS soon as the convention adjourned
tonight about 800 OF the delegates, in
Guiding Messrs. Egan, Davitt, Sullivan,
Redmond, O'Brien and Deasy, walked
over to the Irisb-American Club rooms,
where a reception was rendered them
by the club. They were met by probably
200 OF the members and about one-baf
that number Of ladies'. Informal speeches
were made by each of the delegates from
ireland, after which they retired. The
majority OF the others remained until
late hour.
