HATRED OF ENGLAND.
The Chief Sentiment Expressed in Con
VentIon OF Irilh Leaders at Dublin.

Ventlon OF IriGh Leaders at Dublin.
Dublin Oct. 12.-The first general
national convention of the Irish Inde-
pendent league, organized by John
Redmond, M. P, the Parnellite leader,
opened here Monday. Eight hundred
enthusiastic delegates packed the hall
and vociferously cheered every point
in the speeches which met with their
approval, and jeered the names OF
Dillon, Healy and Davitt, as well as
hissed the name of Mr.. Gladstone
when Mr.. Redmond characterized him.
as "The Englishman who betrayed
Ireland" Every reference to the strug-
gle of 1898 was greeted uproariously,
particularly Mr. Redmond's reading of
the oath taken by the revolutionists.
All the speeches paid tribute to the pa
triotism of the late Charles Stewart
Parnel, and warm cheers greeted the
entrance of the Redmonds, John Par
nell and Patrick 0'Brien into the hall.
The climax of the convention was
reached when, during speech deliv-
cred by William Redmond, he said that
when the Dillonites rejected Parnell
they "alienated the United States,
thus killing the goose that laid the
golden egg" "Mr. Redmond said: THE
great mass of the Irish people are to-
day and will be until liberty is given
them, the enemies of England. En-
gland is bully, pirate and a savage.
Whether in India or Africa, the bloody
flag of the British empire has been ad-
vanced by plundering and destroying
poor people Our sympathy goes out
to these poor people. God bless them
and give success to their efforts. Three
cheers for the men in India who are
fighting England"
The delegates thereupon climbed
upon their seats and shouted: Down
with Britain" Much denunciation OF
England and talk of 179S followed, Mr..
Kelly, of Manchester, saying that Ire
land would have her jubilee in 1898,
''over the attempt of honest men to do
honest work for Ireland" There was
also much denunciation of Great Brit
aims proposal to give Ireland Cath
olic university The participation OF
priests in politics was condemned and
the Healyites were denounced as 'The
assassins of Parnell." There was, how
ever, no discord.
A telegram from the Independent
Irishmen, of Boston, said: I'VE stand
by Parnell's policy and urge the gov
ernment to disgorge its plunder in the
face of the distress existing, and we
send 800 as evidence of our good
faith" The reading of this message
was followed by three cheers for the
stars and stripes.
Mr. Redmond denounced the liberals
for abandoning home rule and de
clared that the only hope of Ireland
was in independent action, without
any alliance with the English parties
Resolutions were adopted stating that
the Irish question can only be settled
by the concession of national self-gov

Working Without Paw,

Nobody does anything well for moth
ing, and certainly not lawyer. Lord
Lansfield was so sensible of this that
when, on one occasion, he had to at
tend to some professional business of
his own, he took some guineas out of
his purse and put them into his waist
coat pocket to give him the requisite
stimulus. Sir Anthony Malone, an
Irish attorney general, was SO inpru-
dent as to omit this precaution. and was
grievously punished for it. He was in
attentive regarding some property he
bought for himself that he lost e3, 900
year by it. In future he caused his
clerk to make an abstract of the title
deeds of any property he bought and
lay il before him with a fee of five
guineas, properly Endorsed, which the
clerk was scrupulously to account for,
after which Sir Anthony made no more
mistakes as regarded, at least, his own
affairs.-Chicago Chronicle.

A GENERAL UPRISING.
The Greeks VIII be Compelled to Fight 20
Escape DishOnor.

The Greeks VIII be Compelled to Fight to
Escape Dishonor-
New YORK, March 2O-A special
cable dispatch to the Journal from
Athens says: The great Pan-Hellenic
society has decided to give the signal
for a general uprising of the Greek race
in the Ottoman empire. It is also
known that most of the officers of the
Greek army now massed on the
frontier have bound themselves by
oath not to return without fighting.
The army is now practically be-
yond the control of the king.
Civilized people of the world will
recognize in a few days that the COM
bined European powers have deliber-
ately forced the Greek nation into war
to escape dishonor.
Thursday the minister of foreign az
fairs notified the chamber of deputies
that the six powers had informed the
government that on Sunday morning,
at eight o'clock an active blockade of
the whole of Crete will begin, and
after that vessels carrying the Greek
flag will not be permitted to pass
the line of the blockade. Vessels
to enter the line after being searched
for war materials. The shameful fea-
ture of this scheme of coercion is that
Turkish vessels are not shut out, but
may pass the blockade on even terms
with those of other nations. The ex-
element in Greece is beyond descrip-
ton 1t is plain that Russia is leading
the powers to force the Greek govern
ment into voluntary and almost hope
less war. Russia stands ready to adj
vance and seize whatever she can
when the crash comes. The powers
refuse to state that they are leaving
Greece no option but to fight; for the
nation is nearly bankrupt and can not
long support the large army which she
is compelled to mass on the frontier to
face the Turks. / believe Greece will
invite ruin and defeat if she declares
war, but she will destroy herself flnan-
cially and politically if she accepts the
humiliation offered by the powers.
The Turkish army in Macedonia occu-
pies commanding position with 40, 900
infantry massed on the hills facing the
mountain passes, supported by an inn
mense force of artillery on the plain
below. The Greeks can make an at
tack in Epirus, but they have no ex-
cuse for declaring war on the sultan
unless an uprising in Turkey oc-
ours, and the Turks begin to mas
sacre Christians.
The remorseless armed hand of Rug
STA begins to emerge from the shadows
of diplomacy. The moment the crown
prince goes to the front at the head of
the army, all hope of peace will vanish.

ATHENS, March 20.-Germany and
Russia are popularity considered to be
the worst enemies Greece has in the
concert of Europe, and if the reports
that are in circulation are true there
can be no doubt that Russia's animositv
is but vail to cover her always pres
ent desire to obtain part of Turkish
territory, despite he declaration in sup
port of the integrity of the Ottoman
empire
What Germany's real object is has
not transpired, but it is supposed that
she is inspired by desire to stand well
with Russia in the hope of breaking
the Franco-Russian alliance. 1t Is
stated that there is a secret Russo
Turkish treaty in existence providing
that in return for the support Russia is
now giving the Turks the ports OF
Sg.aa and Iskanderam will be eeded to
her. OF course, it is impossible to tell
what there is in the rumors that are
being circulated and they are only
given to show in what light Russia is
regarded by the Greek people.
