AN ENGLISH COMMENT.
THE LEAGUE CONVENTION.
Postponed by Advice of Parnell, Not
on Account of CrOnin,s Murder.

LINCOLN, Neb., June 3.-President
John Fitzgerald of the Irish National
League OF America, to-day issued a
circular, postponing the meeting of the
League which was to have been held
July 9th at Philadelphia. This was
done on the cable advice of Mr. Parnell
that such action be taken. The postpone
ment is until after the ending OF the
present session of the British Parliament.
Upon receipt of Parnell's advice the
members of the Executive Committee of
the League were wired his wishes
Thirty-three delegates, including officers,
replied favoring compliance, three oppos-
ing it, and three could not be reached.
Parnell's cablegram was in answer to one
from Fitzgerald to VIM. O'Brien, urging
representation at Philadelphia from
across the water, and asking particularly
for the presence OF O'Brien and some
Protestant Nationalists. President Fitz-
gerald points out that similar postpone
ment of the Chicago Convention took
place in 1886 upon Parnell's advice,
owing to the difficulty of sparing suitable
representatives. Mr.. Fitzgerald adds :
ANY statement that the postponement
is in any manner connected vita the
abominable murder of DR.. Cronin, is
absolutely false"
