Some Information About the Convention

CHICAGO, Aug. 31.-Ex- Congl ssman
J. F. Finnerty, editor of The Citizen,
said: I'VE have received q number of
communications from all parts of the
country relative to the appointment of
delegates to the new Irish movement
convention to be held here on Sept. "a,
% and 26. In reply to these inquiries
the best information is as fOllOwi:
'All Irish American military, athletic,
benevolent, religious and other organiza-
tions that believe in the total indepen-
dence of Ireland, and are willing to as
sist in its accomplishment, are
entitled to send delegates to
the convention, in the proportion of
one delegate for every 80 members and
one additional for each fraction over 30;
two for every 100 members and one ad-
ditiOnal for each fraction over 100, and
so on. These should be elected immedi
ately. Individual Irishmen of good
repute, who indorSe the objects of the
movement and who are willing to give
it their aid, will, we understand, be ad.
mitted to the privileges of the floor or

Duluth Elevator Men Have Been
Investigating the Matter
Carefully.
Likely That That They Will Re-
fuse to Handle Grain That
Is Affected.
Said to Be Contagious, Spelling
Good Grain With Which 1t
Is Mixed.

DULUTH, Aug. 3l.--One of the big ele-
vator systems made an experiment with
some of the smutty wheat which is COM
ing in 50 freely from the new crop. The
result indicated that the item of smut is
going to cut very important figure in
determining the price the farmers will
receive for their wheat this fall and
winter. The elevators We're unable to
remove the smut. Thorough experiments
We're made with all the cleaning and
purifying machinery in the elevators.
The only result was TO break up the
smut balls and thoroughly mix it with
the wheat, the smut adhering to the
hairy end Of the kernel. In order to
remove the foul substance it would be
necessary to use brushing process for
securing each kernel, which the eleva-
tors here are not allowed to use. This,
in the opinion of the management of the
system which made the experiment,
leaves no alternative but to
Refuse to, Handle Smutty Wheat.
The smut is said to be poisonous stuff,
As contagious, so far as the other wheat
in the same bin is concerned, as the
smallpox is with human beings.
There is no doubt but that this item
will enter into sufficient proportion of
the receipts to result in the cheapening
of the price of the contract grade and
the better No. hard, the latter of which
evidently does not play much of part
in the present crop, just as large prev
alence Of a poor article always pulls
down the value of the better grade. II
the elevators here refuse to handle the
smutty wheat, which is said by the test
to have proved unavailable for -four, this
result of pulling down prices will be
more seriously felt than ever. The ele
vator people in question think it quite
likely that the smutty wheat will no,
bring more than 20 or 30 cents bushe
in the country

LIVELY IN COURT
EXcisemen of New York Make q
Grand Rush to Plead
Guilty
Upon the Announcement by JUS
tice Jerome of q S25
Fine.
Those Not So Pleading Will, On
Conviction, Get Penitentiary
Sentences.

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-Four hundred
and twenty-five excise cases were set
down for hearing before Justice Jerome
in the new court of special sessions. An
immense throng filled the courtroom
and the halls leading to it when the
court opened. The rush was precipi
tated by the Justices announcement on
Wednesday last that all the liquor deal
ers who would plead guilty would be let
off with a $50 fine; anyone who would
plead guilty after Sept. would be fined
$500, while those who stood for trial and
were found guilty would be sent to the
penitentiary for three months.
When the court opened Justices
Jerome, Hayes and Holbrook were pres
ent. Justice Jerome at once announced
that all those liquor dealers who would
plead guilty would be let off with a fine
of $25. "All those" he said, "who do
not plead guilty will please withdraw.
Another day will te set down for their
trial.
Rush to Pay Fines.
There was a tremendous rush for the
bar. Don't come in all at Once,' cried
| the clerk. who was astonished at the
rush of the liquor dealers.
1t was like foot ball game. "Have
your $25 ready please" again cried the
| clerk and there was rustic of bills.
In a very short space of time bills were
| piled foot high on the desk in front of
the clerk and he was obliged to call out
for respite from his desk. 1t was said
that at least half on those on the cal
ander would plead guilty and Judging
by the way the proceedings began the
estimate was not too much. At II
o'clock 81 600 had been taken in by the
clerk and his assistants.
Six big policemen had to keep the
l crowd in order and they had to keel
hustling.

BLIND PIG BUSINESS.

Six Big Stocks of Liquor siezed at Devils
Lake.
DEVILS LAKE, N. D., Aug. 3l-The
Nemesis of the blind pigger has spoken,
and Sheriff Barton has six complete
stocks Of wet goods in his possession,
and there are six vacant buildings in the
city under injunctions which prevent
forever their being occupied for liquor
purposes. The informants and COM
plainants waited until the piggers'
stocks, corresponding with the enormous
crop, We're in store, and then struck. 1t
looks as if blind pigging was doomed in
this section. The value Of the seized
liquors will not be less than IS, 900.

EvICTlNG SETTLERS.
Great Northern Land in Polk County the
Cause of Trouble.

Great Northern Land in Polk County tho
Cause of Trouble.
CROoKsToN, Mimi, Aug. 31.-The
Great Northern road has begun the evic-
ton of a number of settlers on lands
owned by it in Polk county. The set
tiers, who are mostly French Canadians,
have lived on the lands for from five to
ten years, and We're under the mistaken
impression that they were to be pro-
tected by the state. The land had been
in contention between the railway and
the government for years, and all early
settlers had been protected by act Of
congress. The company has put such
a price on the lands that the settlers,
who had made permanent improve
ments, cannot buy the farms they have
improved, these prices le'ng at least
twice what lands III h" &.lne vicinity
can be had for In $, ~ cases the houses
of the settlers We're OCrN down ana their
goods carried away hrf' rc tley could be
evicted.

AMERICAN PRODUCTS IN BRITAIN.
Consular Reports Review Demand and
Suggest improvements.

Consular Reports Review Demand and
Suggest improvements.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-The markets
for United Statee products in Great
Britain are reviewed in detail in consul
lar reports. Cattle from this country
are reported from Liverpool as superior
to the native cattle, the latter including
many immature and young animals
slaughtered for food, and also a greater
proportion Of old animals. Consul Neal,
at Liverpool, reports, however, that
sheep from the United States and other
countries do not compare favorably with
the British, lacking taste or tenderness,
and it is suggested by experienced men
that this might be greatly improved by
shipping the sheep younger, say or 2
years old.
Apples Command Highest Prices.
Large quantities of apples are re-
ceived from various countries on the
continent Of Europe, but the importa-
tions appear to be regulated by the size
of the apple crop in the United States.
American apples command the highest
prices.
Forty five per cent of the wheat and
80 per cent of the flour in the Liverpool
consular district come from America
Consumers depend to large extent OH
the importations of bacons and hams
principally from the United Sta.es and
Canada. The strongest objection made
by the Liverpool trade to hog meats
packed in the United States is that of
insufficient curing. The provision trade
| suggests absolute prohibition Of export
of filed cheese from the United States
and greater care in the manufacture OF
the best, so as to equal the Canadian
product.
Beef too Fat.
| America furnishes the entire foreign
cattle supply for the Glasgow district
and the condition in which animal:
land is regarded rs highly satisfactory
the only complaint being that they arr
"unduly fat necessitating waste il
the shops. American horses are &C
cused of being more liable to catch fata
colds soon after landing, ON account O.
the damp climate, and with being un
able to stand the wear and tear srls
tanned by Welsh or Irish horses
| Consul Morse, at Glasgow, report
that over S3 per cent of the whole whea
supply there is imported from this coun
try. The United States also leads in tn
importation of Indian corn, -four, starcl
| and hams.

TO CHASTISE GREENWAY.

Hon. j. G. Patterson, 1t Is Said, Will Un-
dertake the Job.
MONTREAL, Aug. 31.-The authentic
statement that Hon. j. G. Patterson,
minieter without portfolio, will be sworn
in OH Monday as lieutenant governor of
Manitoba, is creating great excitement
here, especially among the French Can
adams. The term of office is finished,
but it was generally supposed that in
return for turning out the members of
the Liberal local government he was to
get second term. 1t now appears that
Schultz has refused to do this, and for
these reasons Patterson has received the
appointmint and will be expected to
chastise Greenway and his cabinet if
they refuse to come to terms on the
school question.

SNAKE KILLED THREE.
And q Fourth Child of n Missouri Family
Fell in "A Well.

SULLIVAN, Mo-, Aug. 3l.-Three little
children ,f widow named jenkins,
while at play, Went to place near the
barn to gather eggs. The place was
rather out of the way and dangerous,
owing to snakes, which are numerous in
that region. One child thrust it's head
into what it supposed was the hens
nest and quickly withdrew it, exclaim,
ing that the hen picked its hand. The
other two children put in their hands
with the same result, and then set up a
loud cry. The mother was at the well
with the baby. and the alarm SO excited
her that she left the babe and ran to the
assistance of the three children who, il
seems, had been bitten by a rattlesnake
During the excitement the little babe
fell into the well and was drowned, anC
the three other children also died.
