THE CHICAGO CONVENTION.
Advice of the Conservative Element
Acted Upon--A Successful Session.

CHICAGO, August 20. AT II o'clock last
night, after a long session of eight hours, the
third convention of the Irish National
League of America ended its session III
peace and harmony. The unnecessary inter-
ruption of rash and unreasonable delegates
tended in no small degree to disturb the haT-
mony which the leaders evidently desired.
Exciting scenes were numerous. Inc throw
ing of hats in the air, the waving of hand
kerchiefs rand the laundering yells of at
least 1000 enthusiastic people often made
the convention a pandemonium. The physl-
cal force men were here in large number.
Their candidates, though pledged to Par,
nelPs platform, and consequently peaceful
methods to obtain national self-government,
were generally successful.
The men elected to fill the important of
fees certainly cannot be accused of mingllng
actively in politics. John Fitzgerld OF Ne
braska, the new president, with his S5,OOO,-
600 at his back, his practical common sense.
his honesty of purpose, his lofty patriotism,
and, aided by the counsels Of several of the
ex-presidents, will unquestionably make a
successful executive. Of the other officers II
is not necessary to speak.
Alexander Sullivan of Chicago was a COM
plete master of the situation. His popularity
was unbounded, his effects to preserve unity
in the main satisfactory. The organization
which for the past several years has held the
National League in its power still continues
to do so. The conservative element simply
checked them from helping them to ruin
their grand work of the past six years. The
attendance of Michael Davitt, that whole
souled patriot, whose honesty of purpose
has never been questioned, had a marked
and beneficial effect on the convention. John
Finnerty of Chicago is deserving of the
greatest opprobium from the Irish people
When he arose in response to cries made fol
him near the close of the proceedings and
made one of his characteristically fiery
speeches in direct defiance of the principles
adopted he acted, in the opinion of many Of
the delegates present. an infamous part
Some applauded him, but the greater part
listened in silence and disgust.

WHAT MR. DIccLEs SAYS.
His Description of His Transactions
With Mr.. Smelling.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2O.-Mr. John II. Dig
giles, dry goods commission merchant, to
dealings with whom Mr.. Snelling's difficult
ties have been attributed, said today:
81 am surprised that Mr. Smelling does not
refute that statement or give figures and
facts toward placing me in a proper light.
My transactions with Mr.. Smelling began in
1875. He came to me saying that the Lowell
Bleachery, of which he was treasurer, was
not doing much business, and in order to bet
ter its affairs he had bought some prlns
cloths, which he had taken to the bleachery,
for the purpose of giving the bleaehery more
to do. These cloths he wanted me TO sell ON
commission. / concluded to do business with
him. The cloths were finished at my order
and shipped to me at New York. There was
only moderate amount, and these We're SOLD
and the proceeds remitted to him. There was
no profit to me other than that arising from
commission, and had no. interest in the
matter whatever. The buying of cloths by
Smelling and his engaging me to send them
to the Lowell Bleachery for fnishlng,was for
