THE CONDITION OF IRELAND
And the Lamsn.abls Situation in the Irish Party

LINCOLN, NEB., August 95.-Prcsi-
dent John Fitzgerald, OF the Irish Ma
tlonal League of America, to-day ayfssued
the following address calling for meet
ing at Chicago October l aud . next.
To the members Of the Irish National
Bcaque and friends Of the cause ie
Americd:
In compliance with tho resolution
passed by the National Councillor seven,
a convention OF the Irish National
League of America is hereby summoned
to meet on Thursday and Friday,
the first and second days OF
October next. Yielding to very gen.
cral request and with the approval OF
the members Of the League in Baiti-
more, the place OF meeting has been
changed from that city to Chicago.
The present lamentahle condition OF
affairs in the old land, and the falliug
of of IriSh-American support "a di-
rect result OF dissension In the ranks OF
the Irish Parliamentary party, are
reasons enough TO induce lovers OF the
old cause To come together and de-
wise such measures as they may
deem best 10 counteract ana
overcome the difficulties We have new
10 contend with. We have labored too
many years to lose courage now, and we
have too great an interest In the eleya-
ton OF our race to give way TO apathy
and Indifference or tamely submit to
the extinction Of our national aspira-
tions.
In view OF the grave responsibilities
devolving upon a convention In the
present crisis, IL has been doomed wise
and expedient to 90 beyond the lines oil
the Irish National League OF America,
and invite the cooperation OF all lovers
OF the Irish cause. To this end every
existing branch OF the Irish National
League OF America will be entitled to
one delegate for every twenty-five
members, and all other societies and Or
ganizstions will be allotted one delegate
for every 25 persons who between now
and the 25th OF October next shall have
subscribed $40 10 the funds OF tho
League. To still further broaden the
representation and stimulate the gener-
osity of Irish-Americans.- -averyjndisuas
contributed at Que time the sum ofto25
through the national treasurer OF tho
League, and who shall have done so by
the 25th OF October next, shall be en-
titled to the privilege OF a delegate TO
the convention.

SONS OF VETERANS.
The Annual Encampment- Il Changes In
the Constitution of the Order.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, August 25.-
The sessions of the Grand COmmandery,
Sons of Veterans. have been devoted
entirely to routine business conducted
in executive session. The proposed
changes in the constitution and ritual
have absorbed a good deal OF attention
but arr still unsettled, though 1t is prac-
tically certain that military and CIVIC
failures will be divorced and the military
degree made optional. The CommaDdery
continued its session this afternoon, but
the local q. A. z. men undertook to
demonstrate their interest in the order
and its convention by visiting Camp
Webb, at Minnehaha, in numbers. The
proceedings were quite informal, ana
were participated in by the visiting
camp, by the the old soldiers from the
State Old Soldiers Home hard by, and
by the Grand Army Posts. Short ad-
dresses were made by Past Grand Com
mander John p. Rea, of this city, De-
partment Commander Charles ID. Parker,
of ST. Paul, and others.
The report of the Ritual Committee
was finally sub nitted TO the command
cry, and provoked a lively discussion.
1t provides for two degrees, civil ana
a military, and for a number OF changes
in ritual The report was at first adopt
cd, but this action was reconsidered and
the report was still before the COM
mandery. There is little doubt Of its
ultimate adoption, however, in substan-
TALLY its present shape.
The Ladies' Aid Society, which is to
the order what the relief corps is to the
Grand Army, has been in session during
the day. The society has 2l6 camps
and five thousand members, and is rec
ognized and encouraged by the Sons OF
Veterans.

4 gentleman who returned from a

age of wheat 70 the acre will be not less
than thirty-five bushels. In some dis
trictS il Will run below this and in
others above. This is a similar growth
almost TO the greatest grain growing
districts in the Northwest.

home. wants TO raise a banner this sea-
son also as a grain-growing section. w.
G.. Foster, of this city, has farm in
Armstrong county near the COnemaugh
river. The sixty acres usually produced
900 bushels This year Mr.. Foster says
the sixty acres crop will be 1900

Irish wackerel becoming Scarce.

GLoUcEsrEB, MASS, August 25.-An
agent who has been engaged in purch&s-
ing mackerel caught off the coast OF
Ireland for the past three years, writes
that about the middle of August the
Irish mackerel catch was fully one-haif
less than last year, and as result quo
tationS were high. Owing to the large
amount OF fish consumed, fresh especi-
ally, during the spring, there was hard
ly enough to supply home demand, and
consequently but little fish were cured
for the American market. Up TO the
time of writing, but 900 barrels OF the
fish has been salted against 5000 bar
rels at same time last year. Mackerel
are growing scarcer each year, and the
catch is falling off to so great an extent
that if the loss follows in the same ratio
for a few years 10 come, the business
will be almost total failure.

How the London Times Looks on the
AmericanScheme.


LONDON, August 25.-The Times to-
day publishes a three column article
upon the projected inter-continental
railroad, which, when completed, will
link the South and Central American
Republics with each other and with the
United States. In discussing these
plans, the Times expressed the opinion
that Mr.. James e. jaime, the United
States Secretary of State is imam OF
grandiose ideas and if, as IL seems quite
possible, he is the next President there
will be some chance of realizing the
scheme" Touching upon the question
as to where the capital is 10 be found
for the enormous enterprise, the Times
expresses the opinion that it cannot be
found in the needy southern republics
and that il must be raised in the United
States. The latter would be obliged 10
guarantee the interest OF the cost OF
construction, and there is a strong con-
viction that the United States will re-
coup Itself for this guarantee at the ex-
pense of the republics further south.
Many people OF practical opinion, the
Times says, believe that the scheme will
never be realized. The price demanded
by the United States for guaranteeing
the bonds OF the railroad would be in
commercial and political concessions
which the other republics could not
grant. The United States is regarded
as the rival of England and as the States
OF the southern half OF the continent
were developed by English capital,
there exists an important party which
will regard any step towards closer com
mercial and political relation with the
United States as step away from an
old and trusted friend.
