general status of public education in this
country. They will be graphically illus

The Hon. Charles S. Fairchild, Ex-

IRISH CONVENTION.
OPENS AT CHICAGO WITH A LARGE
ATTENDANCE.

lyman, Who Is Said To BE the "Number
One" Who Engineered the Assassination In
Pl.ssnix Park, Dublin, of Gladstone's Rep
xesentative In Ireland, Present.
CHICAGO, Sept s4.-The great national
convention of Irish societies was opened
In the Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION hall this morning with large
representation of Irishmen from all parts
of the country. 1t is estimated that 1900
delegates will be in attendance before
business is well under way. The conven-
ton will last three days. One general
object is the formation of united open
organization for the furtherance of
the Irish cause. Those who issued the
call for the convention claim that it is
not contemplated that ply steal force shall
be used or advised in the attainment of the
independence of the Irish people as ma
solutely necessary and the object in view
be probable OF attainment"
Rosa and 'No. 1" on Hand.
1t is believed the convention will serve
to revive interest and infuse new life into
the Irish cause, both in America and
Great Britain. Considerable comment is
being aroused by the fact that among the
fifty delegates from New York city are
jeremiah O'Donovan Rosa and p. j. p.
lyman. lyman became celebrated in 1889
as Number One" having in charge the
removal" of government officials in Ire
land. He 1t was who was accused of hav-
ing conducted the assassination of Chief
Secretary Cavendish and Under Secretary
Burke in Phoenix park, Dublin. So care
fully was the name of this man kept from
his fellow conspirators that even James
Carey, the leading member of the "Invin-
cibles, knew him only as Number One"
Rossa u We1l-Known Dynamiter.
Carey however, when he> became an in
former, made it necessary for lyman to
come to this country During the year
following the asssassinations lyman was
a member of the Middleset volunteers, q
crack London corps, and was one of the,
men picked to escort the queen to the
opening of the new royal courts on the
strand. Rosa is we'll known for his dyna-
mite campaigns. he was, it is claimed by
friends among the delegates, most inhu-
manly treated while in an English prison
on a thirty years sentence for his connec-
ton with the Fenian movement, being
obliged to lap up his food while his hands
were tired behind his back. He has lately
visited England, the term of his sentence
having expired. Rosa and lyman are
staying at McCoy's hotel, the official head
quarters.
One Purpose of the Meeting.
A sensation has been created by the an
nouncement that the convention among
other things, will consider the case of the
Irish political" prisoners still held in
penal servitude In England. Lord Sails
bury, it is stated on high authority, will
probably be sent formal demand for
their release within certain period, which
If not complied with will be TO flowed by

SQUELCHED AN ANARCHIST.
Charles winfred Mowbray Cholsed or by
the Police.

Charles Winfred Mowbray Cholxed OF by
the Police.
CHICAGO, Sept 23-"The ballot box is
against all government and advocate the
abolition of all law and authority" These
were the initiatory utterances of Chas. w
Mowbray, the British anarchist who has
just arrived here from London to carry on a
campaign of education in the idea of
absolute self-government. He does not
advocate violence to bring this state OF
things" about, however. Notwithstand-
ing this Mowbray found that he had
drought his pigs to a bad market" as il
were, when he attempted to spread his
propaganda at a labor picnic at Belmont
Park.
Mowbray has been disappointed on all
sides since he has been in this city. The
Trade and Labor Assembly, recognized as
the central body of the trades unionists,
denounced him at it's last meeting, and
attendance at the park was very small.
Police Inspector Setback had made prep
arations to nip any kind of radical demon
stration before it had gone too far. He
was present with detail of police in citi-
zens clothes, and block away 100 ami
formed officers and three patrol wagons
waited the signal to make descent on
the gathering. Mowbray started in by
abusing the police and newspapers. In
spector Setback bore this without inter
ference.
But when the speaker began berating
the stars and stripes, and hoping for the
glorious day when the red emblem would
be raised triumphantly aloft, the inspector
gave the signal and Captain Schuettler,
who was on the platform, laid his heavy
hand on the shoulder of the speaker. Now
bray had not expected this, and was plain
ly disconnected. He stammered and looked
dismayed, and attempted an explanation,
but the big police captain remarked "You
have got to stop that kind of talk, ;" and
that settled it.
Mowbray insisted, however, that there
was not scintilla of violence in the doc
trine he taught. 1t was no use, he had to
stop. There were few radical "reds''
who attempted resistance, but they were
squickly quclched, and one arrested. Mrs.
Lucy Parsons was present, and after
Mowbray's experience she remarked ut
don't surprise me- Liberty is dead in
Chicago Any one can see that" To
which the police replied: Anarchy is
dead in Chicago for all time"
