THE IRISH CAUSE
Annual Convention of the Ma,
tiOnalists Meets in Leinster
Hall, Dublin.
Bishop O'Donnell Elected Chair.
man and Makes an Earn.
est Speech.
No Man or Men Should Put Them
selves in Competition With
the Cause.

DUBLIN, Sept. 2.-The first session of
the Irish national convention opened at
noon in Leirster hall, which was we'll
filed with delegates, among whom
were several ladies.
The convention was called to order
at noon by Mr.. Justin Mccarthy, M.
p, who nominated the Most Rev. Pat
rick ODonncll, d. D., bishop Of Rap.
hoe, for permanent chairman. The
bishop was unanimously elected, as ar
ranged last week, amid the widest ap-
plause.
Bishop O'Donnell then read mes
sage from the pope, in which his holi-
ness prayed that the Irish leaders might
end their dissensions.
The chairman then specially wels
coined the delegates from the United
States and Canada and delivered an
address pleading for unity.
Bishop O'Donnen referred to the
publication in June last of the report of
the commission ON the financial rela-
tions of Ireland and Great Britain,
which showed Ireland to be heavily
over-taxed and he said that this docu-
ment Is showing how Ireland had been
despoiled ard that this astounding rev.
elation of the commission was sufficient
to again bring forward the whole Irish
question and alone justified the calling
of the convention.
Alluding to the disunion among the
different Irish factions. the bishop de-
o1c hot o% -
put themselves in competition with the
cause of Ireland. This remark of the
bishop caused all the delegates to rice
| to their feet and cheer for about five
minutes.
When the bishop was able to proceed,
he said that he cared little which Eng
lish party helped Ireland, but the Irish
should be independent Of and in oppo.
sition to every party refusing them
home rule.
Discipline and fidelity, the bishop
also remarked, were absolutely needed
adding that without these qualities
among his followers, the late Charles
Stuart Parnell could have done nothing
It is useless, he continued, to tall
strongly, unless they stood united be-
hind their works, adding: 1--WE must
encompass Irish liberty and no power
on earth can withstand the justic,
justice thereof"
This statement caused another tire
mendous burst of cheering which last
ed about 10 minutes.
Letters were read from Archbishop
Walsh and DIR. Thomas Adds Emmett
of New York.
The statement Of the latter that tn
"man who is unwilling to accept an in
vitation to the peace convention is n
true Irishman," was wildly applauded
By this time every inch of the hal
was occupied. and it was estimated tina
s. ZOO people were present.

The Georgia Editor Leaves q Very Envi-
able Record.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2. - Secretary
Hoke Smith has closed his administra-
ton of the affairs of the interior de-
partment and retired from the cabinet.
When Ex-Governor Francis will ar
rive from Missouri and take the oath OF
Office is not yet definitely known,
though it will be before the end of the
week. All important matters that have
been pending have now been disposed
of, so that Mr.. Francis as secretary will
have clear field to begin with.
The record of the department for
volume of work performed during the
past three and half years is probably
ahead of any period of its history. Sec
retary Smith has enforced the strictest
civil service rules, making merit the
sole ground of promotion both in and
outside the civil service. He has un'
Aesitatingly discharged his own ar
pointees if their work was not done
we'll, and the force of the department
all over the country has been brought
to q high state of efficiency.

The largest campfire was that at the
big Auditorium. The music, in charge
af Professor d. +. Colville, was one OF

have. Trainload after trainload OF
veterans and their friends have poured
into the city by every available gate

Monday noon the crowds on the streets
were not particularly noticeable <but at
about 2 o'clock in the vicinity of the

RAILROAD CHANGES.
Mr. Cannon May Go to the Southern


Mr. Cannon May Go to the Southern
Road.
1t is stated that Mr.. Frank s. Cannon
now general superintendent of the Staten
Island Rapid Transit Company. which Is
generally known as the New York division
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany. has been appointed general manager
Of the Southern Railway Company, with
headquarters in Washington.
Vice President Finley of the Southern,
who was today asked about the matter by
Star reporter. said that he had heard
nothing whatever of the rumor, and could
not say whether or not it was correct.
What lends color to the report is the fact
Mr.. Baldwin as vice president and who is
also in charge OF the operating depart
ment of the road, is. IN the opinion of many
persons who are prominently connected
of his many duties. and that the office of
general manager Is badly needed in order
that the occupant of the place may relieve
Mr.. Finley Of the duties relating to oper-
ating matters.
The position Of general manager existed
until about one year ago and was held by
Capt w. H. Green, now general superin-
tendeut of the eastern system. AT that
time. how ever, the cftice was abolished and
the duties connected Herewith transferred
to the superintendent of Mr.. Baldwin.
When the latter was succeeded by Mr. Fin
ley no change was made In the functions
eff the office. which are now performed by
Mr.. Finley
Mr.. Frank S. Cannon has been a railroad
man for at least twenty-five years. and
nearly his entire service has been with the
Baltimore ard Ohio Company. He was
first brought into prominence by President
Samuel Spencer, who gave him the position
he now holds with the Staten Island Rapid
Transit Comps ny, and which he has flied
for almost ten years.
