DETROIT. Mich, July 1.-THE weeks
session of the Ancient Order of Hibernians
closed this afternoon. The most impor-
tant step taken was that of afiiliating the
ladies' auxiliary, which, for the present,
will be under Hibernian protection, though
the ladies, sooner or later, hope to develop
sufficient strength to form national or
ganization of their own The delegatss
took great pride in telegraphing Bishop
Kean. head of the Catholic University at
Washington, that the fund for endowing
the chair of Irish literature was COM
pleted and at his disposal The following
officers were elected: President, P.J.O'Con-
nor, Savannah, Ca, re-elected; vice pres
ident, John c. Weadock Bay City Mich.
reelected; treasurer, Thomas j. Dundon.
Columbus, o.; secretary, John j. OSul-
Ivan, Philadelphia.
The report of the committee on reSolu-
tions was adopted by rising vote. 1t de-
clares for wholly open discussion of all
political questions, denounceS any secret
political organization based upon religious
prejudice and renews the pledge of filial
obedience to the church. and since being
a practical Catholic is an essential of
eligibility to membership in our order and
our religion teaches US that we are bound
to serve our country and our government
with fidelity our duty as citizens is based
not alone on sentiments of patriotism, but
on the substantial footing OF a religious
and moral obligation. The resolutions
commend and urge the work Of elevating
the character CT the Irish race and promo
ton of the cause of Irish liberty.
After steamer excursion most OF the
visiting delegates left by night trains.
