A PLEA FOR IRELAND.
The National Alliances Address
to the Friends Of Liberty.
TIE NEED OF FUNDS FOR TIE WORK

ProvInoiaIIsm Cast Aside and the National
Demand of Ireland Again in the Ascend
ant-Complete Independents by Any
Means Consistent with the Law OF Nations.
New YORK, Oct. 7.-The national officers
and executive committee Of the Irish Ma
tional Alliance issue the following appeal
to all friends OF Irish independence:
The convention which recently organized
at Chicago the Irish National9 lliance has
placed its guidance and government in the
hands of the undersigned for the ensuing
two years. The purpose of the alliance
has already been sufficiently proclaimed
to obtain the complete Independence of
Ireland by any means consistent with the
laws of nations Organizations, like gov
ernments, have to depend on their revenue
for the successful accomplishment OF their
duties. The 'sinews of war for both are
absolutely necessary, both for organizs-
tion and propaganda.
England, the arch enemy of Ireland, has
at her disposal immense resources-the no
cumulations Of centuries Of conquest and
piracy. She has it in her power to control Or
mould public opinion in her own interests.
Even In free America she possesses this
powcrto an astonishing extent. Her side of
the Irish question has filled the American
mind for quarter Of q acentury-ever since
Irelands friends at home and abroad com
mitted the costly fault Of trusting to par
liamentaFy agitation to achieve the liberty
Of their motherland.
Now, however, totally different policy
has been inaugurated. The absolute claim
of ireland to distinct national life has
been placed before the world by the unan-
imous voice Of the recent Irish national
convention held in Chicago. Provincial
ism has been cast aside, and the national
demand Of Ireland, which slumbered but
did not die Is again in the ascendant We
are determined that 1t shall so remain, and
that no effort of ours, no sacrifice on our
part, will be left untried or unperformed
until victory crowns our sacred cause.
We appeal, therefore, to all friends of
the independence OF Ireland to aid us in
this good work by placing at our disposal
the means requisite for Its accomplish
ment You are asked to subscribe in ac-
cordance with your means, and to forward
your subscriptions as speedily as possible
to the treasurer of the Irish National AL
lance, Hon. P. v. Fitzpatrick, 16A TWEEN
ty-second street, Chicago.
Plans Of organization are being prepared,
and will be issued in a few days.

DURRANTS DILEMMA.
One of His Friends Gives Damag-
ing Evidence Against Him.
HIS ALLEGED ALIBI DIsPRovED.

The Prisoner Confessed to His Friend
That He Was Not at Dr. Cheney's Leo
turs tho Day Miss Blanche Lamont Was
Murdered.
SAN Francisco, Oct. 7.-The Examiner
says: One of the greatest sensations in the
Durrant case, and one which comes now
as a climax with crushing weight upon
the accused, has become the property of
the prosecution. Theodore Durrant not
only confessed to a olassmate that he had
no notes Of DIR. Cheney's lecture, but he
begged his friend to take his notes to his
mother, Mrs. Durrant, that they might be
copied.
81 have no notes of that lecture" the
accused student said, land 1 only need
them to complete my alibi."
When the student to whom Durrant
made the confession takes the witness
stand the crumbling fabric of the defense
will fall. The student to whom Durrant
made the fatal acknowledgment is his
.classmate and friend. DIR. Gilbert Il. Ora
ham. 1t was not Grahams purpose to
tell what he knew. For tho sake Of an old
friendship and the memory of his college
days with Durrant Graham had held back
part Of his story.
rant had asked him for his notes, but he
did not wish to tell the prosecution the
whole story and repeat Durrant's confess
sion that he had no notes of that lecture.
Like Charles A. Dukes, he did not wish
to injure his classmates case, but now he
has destroyed its last support. He has
given the prosecution what they sought SO
long In vain. He supplies, through Dur
rant himself the proof that the accused
student was not at tho lecture delivered by
DIR. w. Il. Cheney on April s. He explains
why Durrant "quizzed" with e. f. Glazer
on April TO- He reveals Durrant's purpose
In asking Charles A. Dukes to say that he
saw him at the lecture.
He tells why an attorney for the defense
copied Glazer's notes in full after they had
been placed in custody of the property
clerk Of the police department.. He un-
covers the motive which inspired Durrant
to plead with O. V. Cross and ask him to
remember that they talked on the stairs Of
Cooper college until they were late for DIR.
Cheney's lecture.
Graham comes to the case as witness
Of the greatest possible Importance, to de-
stroy the only possible alibi which Dur
rant has attempted to prove. For the sake
OF his friend Graham held back the most
important part Of his knowledge of tho
case, but now he tells it all just as it oc-
Cured. In addition to that he repeats a
conversation which he had with Attorneys
Dickinson and Duprey few days ago. He
has even informed them of the important
confession which Durrant made to him.
