Opens at Chicago.
CHICAGO. Sept. 24.-The great nation
al convention of Irish societies was
opened in the Young Mems Christian
association hall this morning with a
large representation of Irishmen from
all parts of the country. The head
quarters at McCoy's hotel presented an
animated appearance. conferences and
the welcoming of new arrivals being
the order of the day. John L. Keat-
ing, state secretary of the Ancient Or
der of IIibernians, and secretary of
the local reception committee. esti-
mates that there will be fully I,5OO
delegates in attendance.
The convention will last three days.
One general object is the formation of
a united open organization for the fur
therance 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 inde-
pendence of the Irish people as a
nation. unless such means be deemed
absolutely necessary and the object in
view be probable of attainment. 1t is
believed the convention will serve to
revive interest and infuse new life
into the Irish cause, both in America
and Great Britain.
A sensation has been created by the
announcement that among other
things the convention will consider
the case of the Irish political prisoners
still held in penal servitude in En-
gland. Lord Salisbury, it is stated on
high authority, will probably be sent
a formal demand for their release
within a certain period, which, if not
complied with. will be followed by the
carrying out strictly of the old law

tooth. For every prisoner not released
the removal is promised of British

on the indictment charging him with
the murder of Benjamin f. Pietzel in
this city on September 2, 1894. Upon
the advice of his counsel the prisoner
pleaded not guilty. District Attorney
Graham asked that Monday, October
IS. oe fixed for the beginning of the
trial. Holmes counsel objected to this
date, but the judge, after hearing ar
garments on both sides, stated that he
thought October % would give the de-
fense sufficient time in which to pre-.
pare its case. He then ordered that
the trial be set down for that day.

spectacular parade, that of the Priests

teen bands from various towns in Kan
sas and Missouri. The streets of the
city will be well cleaned aud the busi-
ness houses along the line of march
profusely decorated.
Tuesday, October l. at 2 p. m. will
occur the flower parade. No feature
of the weeks festivities has created
more widespread interest and enthu-
siasm than the flower parade, both
from its novelty and the enlistment of
Kansas City's most prominent ladies
in its success. The present outlook is
that the flower parade will meet such
favorable reception that it will be-
come an annual feature hereafter.
Wednesday afternoon at o'clock
will occur the bicycle parade, which

be elaborate bicycle floats, many of
them depicting bicycle growth, some
grotesque and some instructive. Strin-
gent regulations for keeping the

forced.
The annual Priests of Pallas ball
will take place Wednesday night.

sas City Karnival krewe proper will
take place. This parade will be nom
sense pure and simple, but nonsense so
interviewer with beauty, artistic dis
play and novelty that all can praise
and enjoy it, and it is expected to sur
pass anything ever seen in the west of
a like character. In the parade will
be ten bands and two drum corps, be-
sides those brought with bodies who
furnish their own music.
Through the agency of the Kansas
City Karnival krewe Pains PyrO-
Spectacle Co. have agreed to reproduce
in Kansas City the great military
spectacle, "Siege of Vicksburg." 1t
