IRISH NATIONAL LEAGUE.
PRESIDENT FITZGERALD CALLS A
CONVENTION AT CHICAGO.
The Lamentable Condition of Affairs in
Ireland to Be Discussed and Measures
Devised for Reviving the Dropping
Cause OF Irish Self lf.Government.

LINCOLN, Neb.. August 25. John
Fitzgerald, president of the Irish Ma
tional League OF America, Issued an ad-
dress today calling for convention at
Chicago on October 1st next. The call
says, in part, that the present lament
able condition Of affairs in the old land,
and the falling off Of Irish-American
support, as the direct result of the dis
sensions in the ranks OF the parliament
tary party. are reasons enough to in
duce the lovers of the cause to come to-
xgether and devise some measures
to overcome the difieulties. 1t
has been deemed expedient to
60 beyond the lines of the Irish Nation
al League OF America and invite the CO.
operation 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 so
cieties and organizations will be allowed
one delegate for every twenty-five per-
sons who. between now and the
25th of October, shall subscribe
$40 to the funds of the league.
Further, every individual who has
since the last convention contributed at
one time $25through the national treasur-
er,who shall have done SO before the 2bth
OF October, shall be entitled to the privi-
leges OF delegate. #si
The objects of the convention are, in
substance, to examine into the present
and the past relations between the
league in America and the leaders OF the
national movement, with the view
to placing them on a bet
ter and more satisfactory basis !;
to revise and amend the constitu-
! tion; to pledge once more inviolable
| fidelity to the cause OF Irish liberty, and
adopt such measures in support thereof
as may be considered wise and justifia-
BILE. All who have the cause of Ireland
at heart are earnestly requested to make
this convention not only success but a
historical landmark in the progress OF
| the Irish movement.
"The time has come" says the ad-
dress, when we should prove to the
world that our moral courage is not in
terior to the physical bravery our race
has ever displayed on the battlefield.
No obstacles nor temporary political de-
feats can frighten US from the
path our fathers trod before us.
We should not abandon the grand old
organization which has rendered such
valuable aid to the Irish cause during
the past ten years, to embrace newly
formed association, resulting from fac
tional differences, and not representing
a united and progressive Irish nation
ality. The cause is above men, and the
organization should not be held respon.
sible for the shortcomings of indi
yiduals."

San Francisco Trying to Get Its Assess
@ts ment Reduced.
SAcRAmENTo. August 25.--The state
board OF equalization held meeting to-
day to hear the representations of dele
cations from Santa Barbara, San Fran
cisco and other counties, relative to
property assessments. The San Fran
cisco delegation, headed by Mayor
Sanderson, put in protest against the
increased assessment of $12 ,000, 900 over
last year, and claims that the ratio be-
tween that county and the outside
counties had not been properly fixed.
Mayor Sanderson stated that San Fran
cisco paid about one-third OF the total
tax collected in the state, with only
about one-fifth of the population Of the
state. Supervisor Ellert said the people
of San Francisco believed reduction OF
ten per cent. on the assessment ought to
be allowed. Chairman Morehouse, of
the board of equalization, said San
Francisco owed it, as city, to the out
side counties, to be more thorough in
the matter of inspection of its assess
ment rolls. Further debate followed.

Colored Men Think They Are Entitled
to Membership. ia,
PHILADELPHIA, August 25.-At this
evenings session of the Patriotic Sons
OF America, hot discussion OF the color
question took place. 1t was
unexpectedly precipitated by a
resolution asking the privileges OF
the floor for the president OF a colored
camp of this city, which was excluded
from the national organization by a
change in the wording of the constitu-
ton last October, limiting membership
in the order to white persons. After
much wrangling the resolution, which
is for the amendment of the constitution,
excluding the term "white" from the
constitution, was made the special order
for tomorrow morning. Then another
hot fight was had ON motion that
Stephen B. Gibson, the colored dele
gate above referred to, be allowed the
floor in the morning for the purpose OF
slowing why colored men should be
accorded the privileges of the order
The motion was finally carried.

Sierra Nevada mountains, bring news
that on Sunday, August 10th, two Chi

his escape to parts unknown, and the
sheep were left to themselves. 1t is
said thousands of dollars worth Of them
have been lost beyond recovery. Off
GERS are preparing to 60 in search of the
murderer, but little hope is entertained
that he can be caught. The men who
brought the news, say the dead China
man is lying in the river, and the other
sheepherders near there refuse to take
him out.

A ssociated Press Dispatches.

MANAGUA. Nicaragua, August 25.-
Granada on Sunday was the scene of
coup de main by which President Ro-
berto Sacasa tried to rid himself OF his
most prominent opponents and at the
same time nip in the bud possibly
growing revolution. The gentlemen
arrested include two ex-presidents OF
Nicaragua and the editor and owner OF
the most important daily journal in the
country. Granada is practically in a
state Of siege, and the troops here at the
capital are confined to the barracks.
The opposition to President Sacasa is
growing daily, and affairs are assuming
a serious aspect. For years vigorous
rivalry has existed between the Pro-
gressists, whose headquarters are at
Granada, and the Catholic church
party, whose strongholds are Leon and
Managua.
y Granada, for many terms past, has
furnished the country with the presi-
dent, but at the last election Sacasa, a
Leon man, was chosen president,
the Progressists say by undue
means. He had previously been
q senator, and on the mysterious
death OF President Garazo, two years
ago, was chosen to fill out the unfinished
term, This was not affirmed by the
Progressists, and Sacasa became more
unpopular, as it became known that he,
backed by the church party, was leaving
no stone unturned to bring about his re-
election. For some time it had been
whispered that an attempt would be
made to GUST him, but the coup by him
self was complete surprise.
The gentlemen arrested are ex-Presi-
dent Chamarro, ex-President Zavala.
Don Anselmo Riveasa, editor of
the leading newspaper OF the country,
Don Enrique Guzeman, con Of General
Guzeman, and Don ]. d. Rodriguez. for
merly attached to the legation at WASH
ington.
Their arrest caused great excitement
in Granada, and the prison was attacked. I.
The exact number Of casualties is not
known, but lis reported that the chief
officer Of the police and ut leAst slx sol-
diers were killed and about fifty citizens
shot. | H. 2
The prisoners were subsequently
brought to Managua, where they were
sentenced to be escorted across the from
tier and ordered never to return to the
country. under penalty OF death.
Granada has been placed in state OF
siege. Some of the prisoners belong to
wealthy and important families in
Nicaragua; the matter has caused ex-
element and further trouble isexpected.
1t is known that number of other per-
sons are under surveillance by Sacasa's
spies. ),
The present political troubles do not
affect the progress of work on the mari
time canal, though Don Rodriguez, one
iof the gentlemen exiled, IS known to
have been bitter enemy OF the Ameri-
can enterprise. This opposition is said
to have grown from snubbing which
Rodriguez thought he received from the
American secretary OF state while at
itached to the legation at Washington.

twenty persons buried under the restau-
rant. The police think there are fifty
corpses in the cellars; that would make
the total ninety killed.

phe was thought to have been caused by
an explosion OF naptha or some other
explosive matter.

Associated Press Dispatches.

New York, August 25.-The cores
pondent ofsthe Associated Press at Port
Au-Prince, writing under date Of August
10Th, quotes Acting United States Min
lister Terres as saying there is absolutely
no foundation for the statements that
Hypolite or his government has acted
in the outrageous manner represented in
the United States papers during July.
Terres believes Hypolite is sim
cere in his desire to do right,
but will not tolerate the slightest
attempt to weaken his authority. OF
course he is no angel, and it will prob
ably never be known how far. he was
justified IN his course OF May 28th. Ger
tain it is, if he had been assassinated,
less than half an hour. Probably thou
ing would have been rampant, and
heaven only knows what the end would
have BEEN.
According to Terres the bloodthirsti-
ness and maniacal outbreaks at
tributed to Hypolite from time
to time have no place in
by diplomats and business men that t1n-
til the affair of May 2Sth, the present
government had been extraordinarily
patient. The full liberty of the press
had been repaid with scurrilous criti-
cisms and misrepresentations. When
there began to be Indications of open de-
tiance, Hypolite gave warning that he
proposed to take severe measures to up

are now proving that they can be very
quiet.
The publication OF a pamphlet by
John Metzger, American consul at
Gonaves, on the American question in
Hayti, has aroused much attention.
The charges made against Admiral
Gherardi, Lieutenant Hughes and others
are very grave. Metzger. in an inter
view, said an outrageous method was
resorted to by our government in its
dealings with Hayti on the question
of the mole OF st. Nicholas. Our
state department knows, he said,
that the Haytien constitution ex-
pressiy forhfds the leasing OF
loccupation of Haytien territory by an
alien power. Had the question been
submitted in a courteous way to the
Haytien cabinet, the interest which
would have been served would have
been discussed, and the people would
have been educated into final acqui-
escence. -e
The correspondent says that while
affairs are now tranquil, it is true that
there is much uncertainty as to the flu
ture. The city is garrisoned by 5000
troops, and Hypolite is confident that
he can crush auy outbreak
