Chicago. Sept. 25.-Renewed vigor
was show by the delegates to the Irish
| societies convention today. Perman-
ent officers were elected with at least a
show Of harmony. Hon. J. F. Finerty
was unanimously elected chairman and
j. P. Sutton secretry. Chairman Fin
erty in his address declared for an r.
ish-American standing army which
shall be ready to do battle for Ireland
whenever an opportunity may present
itself. The boldness of the plan as
outlined by the ardent speaker created
a sensation. Fiery enthusiasm greet
ed his speech. Mr.. Finerty outlined a
plan by which young Irish-Americans
throughout the country might be organi
zed into military companies.
In the afternoon session the chair
man read a clipping from the Pail Mall
Gazette which favored meeting the
Irish half way in their struggles for IN
dependence. The reading was receiv-
ed with loud applause and the delegates
seemed to think it was the first symp-
tom that England would give atten-
ton to their demads. Several commit
tees were appointed, William Lyman
of New York being appointed chairman
of the national committee on ways and
means, Calls were then made for 9TH
er speakers, and O'Donovan Rosa,
O'Neil Ryan Of St. Louis and delegates
O'Leary of Montana, Langdon of New
York and Withere of Pennsylvania re-
sponded. Rosa was given an ova-
ton when he arose to address the meet
ing. He said, in part:
II am not in favor Of waiting. In
my judgment the time to strike is when
you are ready and the place to strike,
is England. All this talk of organizing
to fight the English out of England is
vary well but it has no terrors for Eng
land. She is more afraid of the Irish
in England and Ireland than in any
other place. Now is the time for US to
strike and the quicker the better"
O'Neil Ryan of st. Louis said that he
spoke for the young men of the Irish
nation who would take up the fight
when some of the old men before him
We're ready to lay it down.
This move means" he said, "revolu-
ton. 1t means the turning point from
parliamentary tactics to the pike and
the sword. We have given a patient
trial to peaceful agitation and we now
turn to the teachings Of O'Neil and o.
Donnell."
The other speeches were made in the
same vein and all Were heartily ap-
plauded.
Tomorrow the real work Of the con-
vention will begin and all committees
were instructed tonight to be ready to
report in the morning without fail. A
great many kilograms Of sympathy for
the cause were received. and to the sur
prise OF the convention. most of them
were from the north of Ireland, where
the cause the convention represented
Is said not to be of as great strength as
IN the southern portion of the. country.
