Irish Natlonalists, Conference.

DUBLIN, Oct. 6.-1he conference of Irish
Nationalist, called by Parnell, was held
today. Part of the business was to select
a deputation to visit America, to lay before
the people of that country plain statement
of the situation OF affairs in Ireland. John
Dillon, William O'Brien, Thomas Power
O'Connor, Timothy Sullivanrand Abram
Gill were appointed.
The proceedings of the convention were
conducted in private. There was very
large attendance, with the most prominent
Natlonalists present. Justin Mccarthy
moved the adoption of four resolutions, all
OF which had been previously submitted to
Parnell. The first pledges the fullest sup
port OF the National league to the tenonts
threatened with ruin, in consequence of the
course adopted by the government and the
landlords syndicate.
The second demands that certain dis
tressed districts in the southern and west
ern parts of Ireland be given especial con-
sideration by the government, and that
measures be taken at once for the relief of
the inhabitants. The government is called
upon to inaugurate series of public i'm
prouements fof the purpose of giving en-
ployment to the people, enabling them to
support themselves without charitable as
sistance.
The third condemns in emphatic terms
the action of the government in causing the
arrest of O'Brien, Dillon and other Nation
alist leaders.
The fourth says the Nationalist party is
compelled by circumstances, to make an APP
1 peal to its friends everywhere, in behalf of
the Irish tenants and looks especially TO its
friends in America, to subscribe generously
for the benefit of the Irish people. This
appeal, the resolution says, is made most
unwilhngly, but the desperate strait in
which the Irish tenants are now placed,
made it absolutely necessary that aid be
asked from their friends and sympathizers
throughout the world.
Parnell's telegram to the conference say
ing he greatly regretted his inability to be
present was read, and expressed confidence
that the elaboration of the meeting would
be guided by wisdom and patriotism and
result for the good of the public. He also
expressed the hope that the mission tt
America would meet with all possible sue
cess.
Dillon, O'Brien and other Nationalist al
Tipperary sent kilograms expressing re
greet that the disgusting judicial farce
prevented them from attending the con
ference.
Justin Mccarthy made the opening
speech. He referred to the trial in Tip
perary as grotesque. Parnell, he said al
though absent, was in active CO cooperation
with everything they did. He had studied
and sanctioned all the resolutions
The death of Sections mother compelled
him to be absent In spite of thes,
absence his heart was full of confidence
there was no difference of opinion amoni
them. They had faith in the union of tn
Irish people, in Irishmen abroad and in tn
great Liberal party of England. They ha
faith in the great triumvirs, Parnell
Gladstone and Morley, and the prospec
ahead was full of growing light Lou
cheers
O'ConHor in moving the first resolution
congratulated the party upon the recovery
of Parnell; that he stood as high as ever il
the affections of the British people, an
that they desired to express their apprecia
ton of his uDerring genius and indomitabl
courage. They also desire to convey +
the leaders detained in Tipperary, proc
of their sympathy and support Tn

{ throughout the world for generous assist
enemies of Ireland and to show that if tn
purse of the exchequer is broad and deep
is not so broad and deep as the purses @
the friends of ireland.
