GREAT GATHERING.
MEN OF IRISH BLOOD FROM EV-
ERYWHERE.
First AssembIage of the Kind Held
I'm America in Twenty Years.
Faith in the Irish Parliamentary
Party.

CHICAGO. Sept. 2.-In the great gath
erng of men of Irish blood from every
quarter of the United States preliminary
steps were taken today for fresh
worldwide effort of the race in behalf
of the motherland. The convention
started with the unique distinction of
being the first assemblage OF the kind
held in America within twenty years, not
linked with the idea of main reliance
upon parliamentary agitation. To rsturn
to what they termed first principles
seemed to be the idea permeating the
delegates The chief definite purposes
were the formation of a new national or
ganization, to be made International if
practicable. and action in behalf Of the
Irish political prisoners still III British
jails.
vention hall was Judge Savage, Of Cali
fornia. The convention was called to or
der by John J. OConneH of Chicago,
chairman of the committee.
Rapping for order, Mr.. O'Connell ex-
planned the causes leading up to the
calling of the convention; that the people
of this country had no faith in the Irish
parliamentary party. Requests came
such a convention should be held so
that the new movements should get
down to business. In response to these
requests local committees mad been
formed who had made arrangements to
facilitate the work of the convention.
For three days delegates would be called
on to devise means for furthering the
object for which The gathering had been
called. In the wishes of the speaker, the
day would not be far distant when an
Irish republic, based on the lines Of the
greatest republic on earth would be es-
tablished, to which end this convention
would lend invaluable aid if it's work
were fittingly done.

RUSSIA.
AFTER THE COMMERCIAL sUPREsI-
ACY OF ENGLAND.
Russian Emissaries Have Already
Penetrated to the Interior of
China, Where They Are Supplnnt-
ing the British.

LONDON, Sept. 24.-1t is announced
that with the sanction of the car, a
Russian bank with very large capital
will be opened for business soon at
Pekin, with a branch at Shanghai.
Some of the most prominent fnanciers
and merchants in Russia are interest
ed in the scheme. which has been
secretly canvassed. The charter has
just been issued.
The enterprise is regarded as an
other indication of Russias determi-
nation to wrest the commercial as
we'll as the political supremacy in the
far east from England. Trading ennis
saries of Russia have freely assisted
the government of China with money
and have already penetrated to the
interior of China, where they are sup
planting the British.
An article which appears in the
evening issue of the Globe indicates
the alarm with which the English
view the situation. This article says:
Russia will unquestionably extort
from China the right of way through
Manchuria for the trans-Siberian rail-
way A struggle for supremacy in
Asia is upon us. If British influence
does not go under altogether, we must
be aroused and do our part Thanks
to our good relations with Japan, we
ought to be able to work that power
to our advantage politically and COM
mercially.

CHEYENNE, Wy, Sept 24,-In an
open letter to the secretary of the
interior. signed by Governor Richards,
Secretary of State c. W. Burdick,
State Engineer Mead, State Treasurer
Hay, and State Auditor Owen, a gen
eral and specific denial is made to the
charges recently made by State Sen
ator Robert Foote. to the interior de-
partment, charging Governor Rich
ards Treasurer Hay, Senators Warren
and Clark, and other prominent wy
oming officials with fraud in connec-
ton with the operations of the Carey
land act. The letter details the man
ner of procedure adopted by the land
board in carrying the Carey act into
effect and gives the names of all ap-
plicants for land under the act. The
letter denounces Foote's charges as
lying. scurrilous and libelous, and
states that no attention would have
been paid to them had the author not
attempted, in addition to assassinat-
ing the reputation of the Wyoming
state officials, attacked honorable citi-
zens of other states, who in good faith,
in accordance with Wyoming laws,
are giving their money and energy to
the development Of our resources.

Lively in NIatunr.

The plans for this expedition have
been formulating for the last four
months, and everything was in readi-
ness for the sailing of the steamer
some days ago. In fact, three dates
were fixed for her departure, but at
the last moment each time it was
learned that agents of the Spanish
government had become cognizant of
the proposed expedition and it was
necessary to call a halt. But now
the steamer has stolen away, and with
men, arms, ammunition and some
new devices in the way of machinery
of war, is on the high seas, carrying
with it the hope of thousands of
Cubans in this country. Every one is
anxiously waiting to hear that the
redoubtable Enrique Collazo-for it is
ne that is in charge of the expedition
has set foot on Cuban soil. And
with him are hundreds of the flower
of the Cuban youths, with a force of
officers to restrain the foolhardy reck-
lessness of youth and inexperience.

CROCKER'S CASE.
1T IS NOW IN THE HANDS OF 4
JURY.
Sensational Circular Distributed By
H. L. n. Higgins and Sheriff Ward
The Scheme Exposed.
[snecial to The Herald.1

EVANSTON, Wyo.. Sept. 24.-The
Crocker case went to the jury this
evening at $50, after eight hours ar
gument Nobody believes, at this time,
that the jury will find the defendant
guilty. Opinion is divided between
those who think it will be acquittaI
and those who think there will be a
disagreement.
L. N. Higgins and Sheriff Ward are
out this evening in a circular letter to
the public, supported by affidavit, de-
failing the conference held at Higgins
house between him and Crocker's SON
in-law Butler, when Butler promised to
pay $1,000, as is claimed, for the sup
preston of testimony claimed by Hug
gins to be very damaging to Croker.
The circular sets forth that Sheriff
Ward was .secreted in Higgins house
at the time of the interview. He
heard all that was said, and the whole
scheme was for the purpose of get
ting Croker to commit himself, and it
is claimed in the circular that it was
the intention of Higgins to pay the
money to the clerk of the court, and
use the evidence against Croker, who
didn't bite, however, and this method
is now resorted to for the purpose of
clearing the matter up in the public
mind.

somebody in the courts before II is all

CHICAGO, Sept. 24.-"We ought not
righteous sympathy for the Cuban lib
erationists, even though it should in
volve the United States government in
a war with Spain"
These were the words spoken last
night by the Rev. John Henry Bar
rows, pastor of the First Presbyterian
church. In company with a great
many other prominent preachers of
Chicago, the Rev. DR.. BarroWS feels
strongly on the subject and he is do
ing everything in his power to stir up a
sentiment in favor Of the native Gu
bans in their struggle with the Span
iardS. He will take a leading part in
the mass meeting to be held next
Monday evening at Central Music
hall, where he hopes that resolutions
expressing strong sympathy with the
Cubans will be adopted.
Much of Rev. DR.. Barrows feeling
in the matter grows out of the fact
that he visited Cuba three years ago
time in studying the life, habits and
modes of government of the inhabi-
tants. and he speaks therefore with
authority.
Unlimited Resources.
'fWhen L visited Cuba" he said last
night, Il realized why it was called the
Pearl OF the Antilles 1t is certainly
one of the most beautiful portions of
Gods earth and 1T is possessed of
almost unlimited resources. And yet [
found a disheartened and downtrodden
people who have been suffering for gen.
erations under oppression. the most ra-
pacious, eXhausting and intolerable

The native Cubans seem to have no
rights or privileges which Spain is
bound to respect. It's unhappy peo-
pie of every station Nre stripped of
ruthless as those Of Turkey and as
hateful as those of Judea in the first
century. Cuba has been great
sponge, and Spain has been squeezing
her to fill the Golfers of the treasury
at Madrid as well as the pockets of
the ferocious captains-general.
The Only Solution.
Independence from Spain is the
only solution of the Cuban problem.
We have a right to show our sympa-
thy for the oppressed everywhere and
we ought to beseige our national gov
eminent to acknowledge the belliger-
ent rights of these heroic liberation
lists. We ought not to hesitate to do
our duty and express our righteous
sympathy, even though it should in
volve the United States in war with
Spain. I hope the meeting of next
Monday night will be the first of a
thousand similar gatherings all over
the land. 1 hope that such pressure
will be brought to bear that the gov
eminent will be forced to take some ac-
ton favorable to the Cubans."

A Great Meeting.

OGDEN. Sept 24.-One of the best
rallies ever held by the Democrats of
Ogden was held tonight It's effects
will be of great Importance in the com
ing campaign. The meeting was
large, 1t was enthusiastic, and it will
prove to have a very good effect.
Nearly every seat in the Grand opera
house was taken by 7:30. The drum
corps was on the street early making
a good showing and attracting the at
tention of the people. The Ogden band
was also present and rendered good
music. Before s O'clock there was only
standing room, and very little of that.
Promptly at o'clock the curtain
went up, revealing many representa-
tive Democrats Of Weber county on
the stage. The sight of the leaders was
greeted with a hearty burst of ap-
plause.
Mr.. Richards referred ia the impor-
tance of the election soon to be held
and to the campaign of education now
anaugurated. He asked the people 10
bear in mind the great issues at stake.
he stated thar the Democrats had
&iven the territory statehood. He te-
Heved this should be a campaign of
principles, and Of principles only Gap

Inns, who was greeted with great ap-
plause.
Mr.. Rawlias began by stating that
the question is, whether the power be-
slowed upon the people here should be
given tc the representatives of the
party that bestowed it, or to another
party which had resisted that bestow-
al until it had seen that further resis-
tance was useless. If they were CRATE
full and true to themselves the people
would give the power TO the Demo-
cratic party. In his Judgment the prin-
ciples of that party were necessary to
the prosperity of the country and the
ma sntenance of free institutions, While
