Resolved. further. That while we are
Americans, first, last and all the time,
yet the cause of ireland is particularly
dear to us. We cannot forget the
land of our fathers. We are ever

seven centuries, in spite of the. tempta-

After the resolutions were received,
lhe following letter from Mayor Smith
was read, which was ordered filed with
the secretary:
To the Chairman and Delegates in At
tendance at the Biennial Convention
of the Ancient Order of HibernianS.
Gentlemen: | regret exceedingly that
1 am unable personally to attend. ac-
cording to your polite invitation, the
biennial convention of your order now
in progress. A severe attack of neu-
ralgia. which has succeeded in disabling
ME etfectually. prevents my attendance.
L have looked forward with consider
able pleasure to being present with you
and aiding i'll welcoming the visiting
delegates TO OUT city. and am no less
disappointed than you doubtless are, al
being unable to 60 so.
The Ancient Order of HibernianS has
won high rank in the great patriotic and
benevolent associations of the country
Its place III the respect and esteem of
the American people is assured, as we'll
by its historical character and anteced-
entS, as by tie patriotism, devotion and
Self-sacritice or its members. Its teach
lngs are pr0mOtive of the true lessons
of American patriotism; its example
endears it 10 all who are de-
sirous of promoting the spirit
of charity and fraternity among men,
and its aims, while more directly adj
dressed TO the social, political aud in-
dustrial freedom of the Irish people,
takes still wider range and embraces
the cause of struggling humanity in
every land.
You will permit me in this way to ex-
press the hope that your deliberations
may result i'll the advancement of the
best interests of your organization, and
lin the substantial promotion of the lofty
. aims which have given it birth. Re-
spectfullY yours, ROBERT A. SMITH,
Mayor.
A vote of thanks wrs extended by the
convention to James Monahan, of St..
Paul, who drafted the various resolu-
tons.
Then came the report of the state
treasurer. which showed the finances of
the order to be in a satisfactory condi-
ton. This was referred to the auditing
committee.
Perhaps. for several reasons, the re-
port of the committee on bylaws,
which next followed. was as important
as any Amendments were necessary to
make the entire body of bylaws con-
s0nant with those of the national organ
ization, amended at the convention held
at Omaha. Neb., on May IL. These
were considered section by section.
IA nj,
be mentioned the reversal of the
old order Of things in the matter
of holding conventions. Under the old
rule national conventions took preced-
ence in their date of gathering; state
conventions next, and, laStof all, county
conventions. Under the new regime
this order: First, county conventions
second. state conventions; third, ma
tlOnal conventions.
The committee on rules of order next
reported. 1t recommended the adoption
of the rules as heretofore existing for
the governing Of the assemblies of the
order at conventions.
AT $50 adjournment was taken to II
a. m. today.
At 9 O'clock this morning the officers
of the insurance department will hold a
session.
Across the front of the stage is
stretched piece of canvas bearing
this sentence in Gaelic:

AngIicized. this means, "a Hundred
