new MOVEMENT
Convention Of Instantaneous tt
be Held AT An Early Date.

j =
( Under date Of May 2, the following
dispatch was sent out from New York
relative to new movement in the in
terest of Irish independence:
"A movement has been set on foot to
hold convention of Irish Americans in
one of the large cities at an early date.
4 "A number Of gentlemen who have been
prominent In the Irish cause, and who
are OF various schools of political
thought, have come to the conclusion
that the time has come far Irish-Ameri
cans to inaugurate a, new and bolder
policy III the interest OF Irish lndepen-
dence. The agitation known us the Par
nell or parliamentary movement, rs far
ae Irish nationality is concerned, is
dead. The Home Rule question has
been ruled out Of practical British pol
titles by the British people. The move
rnent abides by the decision, as far as
the further prosecution OF parliament
tary agitation is .coDcsrned: but deter.
mines to keep the fag of Irish indepen-
derce still flying, and will devote it
self to forcing the Irish question upon
the attention of the world in such a
manner as win inevitably compel set
Element more satisfactory to Ireland
than any heretofore offered by the
British party. Mr.. Gladstone said, in
moving his Home Rule bill: IF, there
fore, the resistance Of this measure were
to be bitter, obstinate and prolonged,
the question of repeal might finally be-
come an international one" The pro-
motors of the new movement have been
driven to adopt the alternative sug-
gested hY Mr.. Gladstone. and will try to
make the demands CT ireland subject
for international consideration.
