years pursued a mistaken idea to ns- turn to the independent party founded on the principles of Charles Stuart Par nell.
 The climax was reaehIsd during a speech by William Redmond. who said that when the Dillonites rejected Par nell they alienated the United States, thus killing the goose which laid the golden egg.
 MT. Redmond added: 'England is a bully, 6 pirate and a savage Whether in India or fin Africa the bloody flag of the English empire has been advanced by plundering and destroying our people. Three cheers for the men in India who are fighting England.''
 TLhe delegates fhereupan clscnbed upon Their seats and shouted, Down with Britain" The meeting up to that time had been of a some what mild descrip- tion, but much denunciation of England and talk of 179S followed There was also much denunctation of Britafn's pro- posal to give Ireland a Catho1c uniyers- ity. The participation of the priests in politics was condemned and the Helaiy- ftes were denounced as the 'assass:ns of Parnell."
 There was, however, no diScord. The resolutions were adopted with erlthusi- asm, and the reading of a telegram from the Irish Independent League of New York was heartily cheered.
 The proceedings of the convention were finished this evening, and rumors of a revolt against the leadership of John Redmond proved entirely unfcunded. The delegates cheered him enthusiastically and on the adjournment they warmly praised his speech, pronouncing it to be a most able outline of the policy of the Irish Independent INaaue

 to Costo Rica;

Managua, Nicaragua, Sept. 26.--(Cor- respondence of the Associated Press.)- The revolution has been suppressed. It has been a weak one thus far, led by some of the ablest men in Nicaragua. They had no arms and the people were thorities or learning of the revolution, to go away to the woods
 President Zelaya is taking strong measures to suppress forever opposition to his rule. He is bringing in larga numbers of prisoners in chains from their homes to the penitentiaries of Ma nagua. The danger today of continu- ance of war is in the fact that Zelaya has imprisoned and treated with much indignity Senor Beche, consul at Ma nagua for Costa Rica, a warm person. al friend of President Ing1asias, of Cos ia Rica.
 Beche was at Granada at the time the revolution commenced th4re on the night of Sept. F. He evidently went there to avoid escorting President Zelaya and Jose De Games, (who dislike President Inglesias and Costa Rica intensely,) across the Lake Managua to meet the diet of the Greater republic of Central them to Managua. Beche is accused of being an acute participator in the revo- Iution. It Is quite probable the diet will recall Senor Beche and exequator and Managua without trial
 But Costa Rica is evidently preparing for a state of war and Is concentrating her forces to resent the alleged insult. If Bechs Is guilty, as charged, 1t is claimed he should be tried fairly in Nicaragua and punished as well as dis missed but that the witnesses and tes- timony should be weighed suspiciously and considered carefully in the light of pre-existing facts.
 Tine indications are that Nicaragua desires war and will provoke war with Costa Rica, and that the latter is now about as anxious to fight Nicaragua as she has heretofore been to prevent a war between these states. The revolu- ton furnished evidence of widespread and bitter dissatisfaction, now intensifi- ed by the chains and penitentiary which some men of prominence have been con- demned to to involve Costa Rica, al- though it was weak at the start, and the leaders were unabel to arm the vol unteers after it was started. But as the majority have gore into Costa Rica, they may again soon appear well armed in Nicaragua to renew the conflict.
 Ex-President Cardenas has escaped into Costa Rica, and Gen. Pals, the leader of the recent revolution, has done the same. Nicaragua and Salvador are seriously discussing the propriety of withdrawing from the Latln-American union at Washington.
