THE Irish National League LON
vention.
CHICAGO, Aug. 19.-The delegates in at
tendance upon the Convention Of the Irish
National League were slow In reporting at
Music Hall This morning and to enter
upon the work Of the second day. The
committees appointed yesterday remained
in session until a late hour last night. but
in the main concluded their labor 80 as to
be ready to report to the convention to-
day without any delay. The Committee
on Credentials had no contesting delegate
to pass upon. but owing to the large num-
Der of delegates present they were not
able to complete their report until after
midnight. The Committee on Resolutions
also had a long nights session, but worked
tremendously despite any fears to the con-
trary. Judge Fitzgerald, the Temporary
Chairman, appeared On the platform at
1920 A. NJ, and shortly afterwards the
delegates began 70 pour in and quickly
flied the seats on the main floor. The
convention was called to order ct 1850 A.
NJ. The Committee on Permanent Organi.
cation submitted 3 report, recommending
that the temporary organization be made
q permanent organization. The motion
vas put to the convention by Michael
Davitt-apparently in expectation OF com-
plete harmony, and the motion was car
ried almost unanimously. The few dis
sents were apparently from the New York
delegation. Judge Fitzgerald arose and
thanked the convention for the honor OF
the position. He said he would certainly
endeavor to give q full hearing to every
delegate on any subject TO come be-
fore the convention. Il know no ring.
| know no clique" said the speaker, ] am
here for O united Ireland. He closed
with the caution that delegates should
have only one sentiment, and that was to
prepare to fight the common enemy and
engender no feuds among themselves.
"We hate her." said he, "becsuse she
hated Us and despoiled US. When she
declares peace-then and not till then
will we cease hating her." Here another
} scene Of confusion ensued. In the midst
of the uproar Mr.. Finnerty was heard to
say: at Ia what we have believed for 20
years, and / shall hold to my view for the
freedom OF Ireland to the day of my death
Mr.. Tilling is not in the League. II be

of confusion ensued Mr.. Flnnerty declined
} TO say anything further, and ceased speak
:. ing. He was cheered by the main body
of the convention. Davitt arose and SAID
he would not dispute the right of Fin
: nerty to desire the freedom Of Ireland
r and would not do 80. This acted as
quieter, and the uproar subsidized. The
Committee on Resolutions reported
