convention was organized to bring
about.
Rev. Father Flynn moved the ap-
pointment of committee of arbitration,
composed Of home and foreign dele
gates, with instructions t odraft rules
and platform to unite all factions of
the Irish party. The motions was greet
ed with enthusiasm.
p. Il. O'Connor took the floor. His
eloquence aroused the first breeze of the
day. He read Father Flynn's original
resolution suggesting the committee be
selected from three sections Of the Irish
parliamentary party to propose basis
of union, which has since been amended
and which was believed to have been
written by Timothy NJ. Healy, M. p.
O'Connor fiercely attacked "the dis
ruptionists. who are fighting the con-
vention with every dirty expedient."
O'Connor's attack on the Healyites
was received with deafening cheers
from the Dillonites. Canon Murnane Of
London objected to O'Connor's language
which, he said, was defeating the object
the convention had in view, to, bring
ing about of unity among the Irishmen
of all sections. A scene Of great dis

termed it the first convention of the ma

referred to it as the Democracy who held
its convention in 1892. Every seat in the
space reserved on the floor of the dele
gates and alternates was taken and the
galleries, except on the upper balconies
in the rear of the hall, where the band
was located, were comfortably well
filled without being crowded, while the
chairs in the rear of the platform reserv-
ed for the distinguished guests, were
nearly all occupied. The decorations
were brilliant and lavish. There was
an usually large number of ladies' in the
galleries and in the chairs back of the
stage. The big New York delegation
of seventy-two members perhaps at
tracted the most attention. In it were
such conspicuous men as Governor
Flower the temporary chairman of tha
convention; ex-Secretary of the Treas

YOKOHAMA, Sept. 2.-Much alarm
Is felt here over a meagre report of a
great earthquake which occurred in the
northeast province of the main island
Of Japan on Monday evening. The town
of Rukogo has been entirely destroyed
and several other towns severely dam
aged. Many persons are reported to
have been killed by the earthquake and
large number injured, while multi
tude suffered severe losses by damage
to property.
The places visited by the earthquake
are the same as those devastated by
the terrible earthquake and tidal wave
Of June Is last, when a large number of
towns were wiped out, the estimated loss
of life was 10000. The provinces of Ec-
kuesan and Rikuchu along the coast
from the island of Jonkasan northward,
were the principal sufferers today. The
recollection to the havoc to human life
wrought by that convulsion causes
grave anxiety as to what further re-

tensive damage In Southern Japan.

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 2.-Major-
General James returned from Stockton
today, after having a long conference
with Gov. Budd Tuesday evening in re-
gard to national guard affairs. Gen.
James said that everything had been
settled to the entire satisfaction of the
governor, and that he was ready to be-
gin making the needed reforms in the
guard. He said:
Everything will go on smoothly from
this time. There will be no more bicker-
ings nor petty jealousies. The COVER
nor is the commander-in-ch chief. and his
orders will be executed. 1t is his inten-
tion to make the guard popular, and
will carry out his desires.
1.-THE men will be protected and given
all the rights they should enjoy under
the law. I expect that in a year from
now we will have twice as many men in
the guard and it will be in far better
shape. All thesoldiers will be provided
with proper arms, ammunition and
equipment as soon as possible, and they
will be compelled to take proper care of
them. No more waste nor neglect will
be tolerated.
mo orders regarding the management
of the national guard will be issued ex-
cept from tn e division headquarters.
The guard will be conducted as near
like the regular army as possible. In re-
gard to matters relating to the property
Of the guard, the adjutant general, as
uartermaster-g general, will have charge.

CANTON, Ohio, Sept. 2.-Ever since
Major Mckinley returned to Canton

telegraphic matter. But the conditions
this week surpass that of any time since
the campaign opened. Heavy as was
the flood Of kilograms and letters on
his nomination, 1t does not approach
that which has followed his letter of
acceptance. The mail can no longer be
handled in the ordinary manner of neat

attention continue to accumulate. To-
day came flow of kilograms on the
Vermont result, which everywhere in
Republican circles seems to be accepted
as true index of the result to follow in
November. A few of the kilograms on
this subject follow:

living in the great money centers, who

loan those dollars out, not on long time

the negotiation of great stocks and

SOME LONDON WISDOM
LONDON, Sept. 3.-The Chroicle, in
the course of an editorial on politics in
the United States. dwelling upon the
high character of Mr. Bryan, says:
We watch the contest with equanim-
ity, because we believe that even II
Mr.. Bryan is elected the economic con-
sequences will be less serious to for
eign nations than was at first antici-
pated, although English investors may
suffere severely at first. The struggle
is very interesting to England, because
Mr.. Bryan's arguments might be Mr.
Balfour's. If Mr.. Bryan advocates re-
pudiation on an exalted scale, Mr.. Bal
four's views mean Reputation on a mod
crate scale. Where we question the wis.,
dom of Mr.. Bryan's campaign is in its
applicability to the troubles Of the
American commonwealth Things have
not come to such a pass in America as
to need a policy of semi bankruptcy.

sension was to crush 1t by the united

the convention to give the Irish leaders
means Of uniting the Parnellites with
the Irish party. He appealed to the del
egates to uphold the constitutional
methods. &
The discussion Of Father Flynn's res.
olution, the first test of strength be-
the Dillonites and the Healyites, was
long and bitter. The resolution was
finally withdrawn in the interests of
harmony.
Later the convention adopted reeolu-

nationalists and representatives In par
Lament should be reunited one favor
ing home rule in which every supporter
Of that policy would be cordially receiv-
ed and treated according to his capacity

Edward Blake, MP, moved a resolu-
tion recognizing as an essential element
of an effective party the hearty co-ope-
ration and cheerful subordination of
each individual member of such a party.
Mr.. Blake spoke at length on this SUBJ
ject and during the course of his re-
marks asserted that change was
needed as otherwise there would be a
collapse of the Irish parliamentary
party. Continuing he said:
