IRISH NATIONALIsTS.

The Race the World Over Represent
ed at the Convention in Dublin.
Copyright 1896 by the Associated Press.
Dublin, Sept. 1.-The first session of
the Irish national convention opened
at noon today in Leinster hall, which
was well filed with delegates, among
whom were several ladies.
1t was estimated that the Irish race
throughout the world was represented
here today by from coo to ZOO delegates.
But it was hoped that at least 1000
more delegates would arrive during
the day. They came from Ireland and
Great Britain as a rule but the United
States, Canada, Australia and South
Africa are represented by a number Of
delegates.
The walls of Leinster hall were ap-
propriately decorated for the occasion
and patriotic sentiments expressed by
deceased statesmen of ireland, the late
Charles Stewart ParneH included, were
hung upon the walls inside of the
building.
The feeling among the foreign dele
cation was that all sections should
unite and that nothing should be left
updone to accomplish this end. With
this object in view, a meeting of forty
foreign delegates took place last night
thirty-five of them being from the
United States or Canada, at which it
was proposed to appoint a committee
of seven foreign delegates to person.
ally interview Messrs. Redmond, Healy
and Dillon, with the object of induc-
ing all factions to support one leader
and as an alternative,it was suggested
that all donations from foreign sources
should be stopped in case the warning
factions failed to come to an under
stnding.
After q heated discussion lasting two
hours, the meeting dispersed without
having accomplished anything except,
it was feared, to SOW seeds of discord
which may grow further during the
convention.
The convention was called to order
promptly at noon by Mr.. Justin NC
Carthy, NJ p, who nominated the Most
Rev. Patrick O'Donneu, ID, bishop
of Raphoe, for permanent chairman.
The bishop was unanimously elected,
as arranged last week, amid the widest
applause.
Bishop O'Donneu then read a mes
sage from the pope, in which His Holt
ness prayed that the Irish leaders
might end their dissensions.
The chairman then specially weIcom-
ed the delegates from the United States
and Canada and delivered an address,
pleading for unity

MAsSACREsWERE ORDERED
The Turkish Authorities Deliberately
Organized the Massacre of Ar
1raAniana

Constantinople, Sept. 1.-The embas-
sizes will not be illumined today, the an
niversary of the sultan's succession to
the throne, owing to the recent mas
sacres. The Dragomans of the embas-
sizes while they will go to YiIdizkiosk to
convey the good wishes of
the ambassadors have been in
structed to leave notes which although
they congratulate the sultan upon the
anniversary of his succession to the
throne, express deep regret at the re-
cent outrage.
There is no longer any doubt that
the massacres were organized by the
Turkish authorities and it mas been as
certained that orders were only given
to the Bashi Bazouks to cease massa-
creing the Armenians after the bloody
work had been going on for 80 hours.
1t is also fact that hundreds of
Turks were brought over from the As
latte side of the BOSphOruS in order to
take part in the maSsacreS and many
ArmenianS were put in boats which
were taken out to sea. Their fate is
unknown but there is not the slightest
doubt they have been drowned.
Although it may be true that an at
tack on the Ottoman bank originated
the Armenian massacre it is admitted
that the massacres which followed were
not justified and from 5000 to 1900 peo-
pie lost their lives in this city or in
those of the suburbs during the past
week. The Armenians also intended
to attack the palace, the branch office
of the credit of Lyonnaise and other
places the avowed object being to force
the powers to intervene in the Armen-
ian question.
A dispatch received here from Phil
HppOpOlis says that a conflict occurred
last week in the Turkish and Bulgarian
frontier. 1t seems to have been an out
post affair near the village of Chiro-
vaIuka. Twelve Turks were killed or
wounded and five Bulgarians were
wounded. AS a result further and much
more dangerous complications are an
ticipated.
The Armenians who surrendered at
the Ottoman Bank, and who were sub
sequently taken out Of the Sultan's
jurisdiction frankly announced that it
was intended to continue the work of
agitation. The Ann college at Hissar
and the Bible house at STEAMBOAT are
still guarded by troops, and United
States Minister Terrell has done every
thing possible under the circumstances
to protect the lives and property of
Americans.
