SONS OF ERIN MEET.
Irish Americans Gather in Con-

There Are 1900 Delegates in
Attendance.
DYNAMITERS THERE.

Among the Delegates.

CHICAGO, Sept. 24.-The great ma
tional convention of Irish societies
was opened in the Young Mems Chris
tian association hall at 10 o'clock this
morning, wish a large representation
of Irishmen from all parts of the
country. John 7. Heating, the secre-
tary of the Ancient Orc er of Hiber-
mans, and secretary OF the local re-
ception committee, estimates that
there are fully 1850 delegates in
attendance.
The convention 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
physical force shall be used or advised
in the attainment of the independency
of the Irish people as nation unless
such means be deemed absolutely
necessary, and the object in view be
probable of attainment. It is believed
the convention will serve to revive in
terest 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 delega tes from New York city
who have arrived are jeremiah O'Don-
ovan Rosa and P. J. P. lyman. lyman
became celebrated IN 1882 as the
Number One" having IN charge the
removal of government officials in
Ireland. He it was who was accused
of having conducted the killing of Chief
Secretary Cavendish and Under Secre-
tary Burke in Phoenix park, Dublin. So
carefully was the name OF this man
kept from his fellow conspirators that
even James Carey, a leading member
of the Invincibles, knew him only as
Number One. Carey, however, when
he became an inform T, made it neces-
sary for lyman to- come to this coun-
try. During the year following the
killing, lyman was member OF the
Middlesex volunteers, 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 well known for his dyna-
mite campaigns. He was, it is claimed
by friends among the delegates, most
inhunanly treated while in an English
prison on a thirty years sentence for
his connection with the Fenian move
ment, being obliged to lap up his food
while his hands were tied behind his
back. He lately visited England. the
term of his sentence having expired.
Rosa and lyman are staying at Me-
Coy's hotel, the official headquarter
A sensation has been created by the
announcement that, among other
things, the convention will consider
the case of the Irish political prison
ers still held in penal servatude IN
England. Lord Salisbury, 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 followed by the
carrying out strictly of the old law
an eye for an eye, and d tooth for a
| tooth. For every prisoner not re-
leased, the removal is promised of a
British cabinet officer or other prom
inent English government official.

P0STOFFICE FIGURES.
Annual Report of Fourth As
sistant Postmaster General.
During the Year 2,422 New
Offices We're Made.
A Loss IN KANSAS.
Number of Offices Falls Off in
This State.
A LOSS IN KANSAS.

WAsHINsToN, Sept. 24-The annual
report of Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General Maxwell shows that the num-
Der of postoh1ces in operation in the
United States on June 30, 1895, was
10000. During the year e,422 post
Offices were establishes and 2, 163 dis
continued. The total number of ap-
pointments for the year was IS, 142.
During the year the greatest increase
in the number OF postoffices was in Ok
1ahoma, SO. Nineteen states show a
decrease in the mum Der of postoffices,
the greatest loss occurring in Kansas,
So; South Carolina losing A, and Iowa
and West Virginia, SO each. Fifteen
other states show loss of from ? to
81 each.
During the year 59,54s complaints
affecting the ordinary mail were re-
ceived; 51,849 referring to letters, and
27,697 to packages. This shows an in
crease of 2, 669 over last year.
Some special classes of cases, to
which the inspectors are giving much
attention, are those of robberies of
postOfhces, burning of postofices,
wrecks of postal cars, and highway
robberies of mail messengers, mail
stages and railway postal cars; and
the figures submitted in the report
show that the .depredations and casu-
alt1es in these classes of cases are
gradually on the increase, although
the increase is not so uniform as dur
ing the preceding year. A gratifying
decrease in the number of postotfice
burg al les is noted, but highway rob-
berries of the mails have increased
somewhat. Train robbers have grown
more bold, and do not hesitate to ply
their vocation in the older states and
near large cities, one of the most dar-
ing of last years train robberies the
Aqua creek case, having been COM
mitted within few miles of the city
OF Washington.
Under the head of foreign cases the
report emphasizes the superiority of
the registry system of the United
States over that of most of the foreign
countries.
During the year there were 2, 24O ar
rests for oHenses against the postal
laws, of which mum Der IT'S were post
masters, forty assis ant postmasters.
fifty clerks in postofices, twelve rail
way postoffice clerks, thirtv-seven
letter carriers, ffty-two mail carriers,
and twenty-eight were EMPLOYED in
minor positions in the postal service
3 The concluding pages of the report
are devoted to a series of sketches of
important cases. General Maxwell
uses strong language in referring to
the escape of KiIloran, Allen and Rus
sell from Ludlow street jail, New
York, their apprehension having been
matter of great Importance to the
department.

ILLINOIS TAXATION.
Startling Report Made by the Bureau
of LABOR Statistics.

Startling Report Made by the Bureau
of Labor Statistics.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Sept. 24.-The
most sensational report ever issued by
a state bureau was made public by the
Illinois bureau of labor statistics.
It charges that the great majority
of the wealthy taxpayers of Illinois,
and more especially of Chicago, are
perjurers; that the assessors are guilty
of malfeasance in Office, that the pres
ent financial condition of Chicago is
directly traceable to the corrupt svs-
tenn of taxation, and that the ''deplor-
able condition of work is due to the
liberty destroying methods of taxation
which prevail in Illinois,"
The report is made up of a mass of
tables compiled from official reports of
assessors, banks, real estate transfers,
boards of equalization and the various
municip pal departments to which the
agents OF the bureau had access.
After declaring that lit is the purpose
of the report to expose existing meth
odt of taxation in Illinois, with special
reference to their effect upon the labor
interests" the board proceeds to re-
view the work of former bureaus. The
stand is taken that it is idle to dwell
upon the wages and condition of the
average wage earners of the state.
The bureau contends that the condi
ton sis proved BY evidence so clear
and abundant that the compilation of
any further statistics would be wasted
effort" The bureau takes the posi-
ton that taxation is the chief instru-
nent of tyranny"

Another Move BY the State Against the
Corbstt- Fitzsimmons Exhibition.
CHICAGO. Sept. PA special from
Austin, Texas. says: 1t was learned last
night that Attorney General Crane is ar
ranging 10 sue out an injunction in the
district court of Dallas county to restrain
the Corbett- Fitzsimmons fight. If the
judge grants the injunction which he
doubtless will, then the fight manage
ment in self-defense must appeal the
matter to the court of criminal
appeals with full bench, and thus play
directly into the hands of the state. Be-
cause to get it before this full bench for
decision is exactly what the state wants,
as 1t is believed full bench of the court
will reverse Chief Justice Hurts indi-
vidual opinion.
1t is well known Gov. Culbsrson does
not propose to accept Judge Hurts opin-
ion as final and he wants full court or
nothing.

WEARY OF ARCTIC CLINICS

Explorer Peary Decides to ForegO Fur
Their Northern Adventures.
ST. JOHNS, Sept. 24.-No new matter
has developed with reference to the
Peary expedition. All mem bers will
go by the steamer Silvia, leaving on
Wednesday, reaching New York next
Monday.
In an interview Lieutenant Peary
said that he would not undertake
further Arctic work. He denies that
any of the bones of General Greeley's
party were found at Cape Sabine, but
the officers, engineer, fremen and
Sailors of the Kite contradict his state
ment. The matter is widely discussed
here.

A GREELEY SURVIVOR.
Says Pcary Probably Found Members of
the Greeley Expedition.


REDDne. Cal. Sept. 24-Maurice
ConneH, one of the survivors of the
Greeley expedition, who has charge of
the weather bureau Office here, when
shown the dispatch from St Johns stat
ing that the bones of one OF his com
panions, who died at Cape Sabine, were
found by the Peary expedition, said that
it was very probable the dis patch states
what is true. He says that the bodies of
four of the men-Pavy, Sailor, Gardner
and Bender-who died during the last
days, were buried IN the ice, as those
alive were too weak to bury them in the
ground, where the others were inferred.
Cornell said he could not understand
if Pearv killed musk oxen, as stated in
the dispatch, why he should run short of
provisions for dogs aud men. A musk
OK on the average weighs, he says, 300
pounds dressed, and ten would give
Peary 5000 pounds of fresh frozen meat.
