CHICAGO, Aug. l8.-One of the greatest
gatherings of Irish- Americans ever held IN
the West assembled to-day III Ogden Grove.
The occasion was the mt that
N. ". Cannon of-pmaha, president OF the
Irish National League OF America, would
be present ut the annual outing OF the irish
s~,cieties of Chicago, and the knowledge
that in view OF the just accomplished &C
cession of Gladstone and the result ing
crisis in the home rule movement, the
gathering would possess widespread sig
n~iicance. Besides Mr.. Cannon, the speak
ers were John F. Finer:y and Hon.
Matthew p. Brady. each of whom
h Eas en' throas. J. '. ! F : %gy ms
president Of the South Chicago
National bark, acted as chairman. Reso-
lutions were adopted declaring that II the
British parliament, permeated by the evil
spirit Of the past, should again dash from
Irelands lips the cup of peace aud justice,
amy and love liberty to consider and use
another means to right the i~ntoierable
wrongs that have made Ireland a by word
among the nations. The resolutions urge
upon the Irish leaders the absolute neces-
sity of union and harmony, applaud the
resolve vi both sections oi the parliamentary
party to oct independently Of all English
%ceptance OF office under the English
government by Irish members until all
Irish par. ian ent, duly invested with SOW
ereign power over the internal Interests Of
Ireland, is in session in Col ege Green.
FINEETY SPEAKS.
The feature OF the day vas thea address of
ex.Congressman Finerty. who is president
OF the United Irish societies OF Chicogo.
He gave attention 10 the home rule bill.
"Mr. Gladstone" he said, adroitly refused
to believe that the house o. lords would re-
ject the home rule bill when it passed the
house of commons, but Gladstone knew in
his heart that the house of lords would re-
ject until forced to r, cede." Continuing
Mr.. Finerty said: I'd,
The members Of the Irish party, no matter to
what section they belong, cannot accept any
home rule bill that would fail to give Ireland
the judiciary and the police. The control OF the
militia should be INC .uded in it II possible. A
constant menace to justice IN Ireland. A police
controlled by London instead II by Dublin
would be only a formidable portion OF the En-
Of The country, 1t would he impossible for an
Irish government to maintain itself iudepend-
entity.
Should it be necessary again to dissolve
parliament in order to force the home rule
bill through the hou,e o: lords he had no
doubt that the Irish in the American re-
public, and in other land. as well, would
contribute dollars to ma ntain the struggle
to ultimate victory. lie hoped he might
live to con yratulate Ireland ON her freedom
nobly recognized, and to hail her green
flag flying nobly above her rehabitated
senate house, soon to be dedicated to the
pei fection and the maintenance OF her leg
islative independence.
