Important Irish Convention.

Dublin, April 20.-The Parnellite con-
ventioned. summoned by John Redmond
to meet today in this city, will be the
most important event of it's kind since
the death OF Charles Stewart Parnell.
In an interview, Mr.. Redmond said:
Our party Is stronger than 1t has been
for a long time. 1t proposes a definite
step forward. Our program embraces
four principal points-First. the founda-
ton Of an Independent Irish league, In
which agrarian interests shall not be
dominant but shall be founded upon
the broader and sounder basis OF inde-
pendent political action for the benefit
Of the whole Irish nation. Second. civil
and religious liberty. and no further in
reference Of priests In politics. Third.
lbsoIuts independence Of alliances with
any Erclish party and a reverting to
our old demand for coordinate parlia-
ments. the principle Of federalism in Mr.
Cladstones home rule proposals (Which
We were formerly willing to accept In Q
spirit Of compromise) having been re.
jected by parliament. Fourth, manhood
suffrage. which would give us political
majority In Ireland. and is a plank that
ought to commend itself to our friends
in the United States. who believe in the
rule Of the majority. We shall insist on
the third point with all the power we
possess"

Chances Of Partial Cotton Crop Now Watched

Washington, April z0.-The war de-
partment officials are regarding the out
look IN the lower Mississippi valley with
the greatest anxiety. fearing that the
ievee system there will prove unable to
Withstand the terrible strain.
Captain Martin OF the quartermaster
generals department has just returned
to Washington and is preparing his re-
port to the secretary Of war. He was
sent to inspect the conditions in that
section OF the country lying along the
mississippi sriver from Vicksburg to
'Greenvilie. and his report gives some
startling figures as TO the extent Of the
devastation worked by the waters. He
says there was under water last Wednes-
day strip OF land on the east bank OF
the river with Vicksburg az its apex, with
a base Of 20 miles and 60 miles wide. con-
tanning 1850 square miles. This is all
cotton country. II Is generally owned
in large plantations. the owners of which
divide IL into small parcels and allow ne
,groes TO work II on shares. In 1890 there

THE NEW APPEAL.
Attorney Deuprey'S Ground for
Again Going Before the
Supreme Court.

Eugene n. Deuprey made gallant fight
for his client from first TO last and if Dur
rant shall ever be hanged it will be only
after every expedient known to the law
shall have been invoked in vain in behalf
of the doomed man.
Mr.. Deuprey, in an interview last night,
said that he had appealed to the Supreme
Court on the ground that the court did
not in accordance with the provisions of
section 1927 OF the Penal Code as amended
in 1891 lake any proof as 10 the facts;
that is TO say, as 10 the record upon which
TO base 4 Judgment such as was made and
entered up yesterday.
In other words, said Mr.. Deuprey,
"there is no record of the court having
inquired as TO the facts of the cord, and
we contend also that the iudgmen, pro-
nounced by Judge Bahrs to-day is in
excess OF the jurisdiction of the court as
provided by the statute, and that the
court erred in refusing to grant the appIi-
cation made by the defendant and appel.
liant 10 correct the record IN accordance
with the provisions OF the law and in
accordance with the plain provisions OF
The statute.
"As Durrant was being taken to the boat
We made application for certificate of
probable cause. We had only one hour in
which 10 prepare it, between IL 80 A. NJ
and 1880 P. NJ, and after The paper had
been prepared 1t had to be read and sworn
to by he defendant. Then we submitted
1t to Iour Justices OF the Supreme Court,
but because we were unable TO Jay before
item the verbatim language of Judge
Bahrs the court was unable at that time
either to deny or to grant the application
The affidavit set forth all that occurred
to-day; the only thing wanting was the
verbatim language of the order, which
mad not then been written and which we
could not get.
The appeal stays the execution, bat it
does not stay the imprisonment. The
judgment of imprisonment rendered by
Judge Bahrs makes Durrant a convict for
a crime which has not been punished by
life i'm mprisonment or any mprisonment a
all. We contend that IL is doubie iudg-
ment, and the law does not allow a double
judgment. 1t must be a death sentence or
= sentence of imprisonment. 1t cannot
be both. They will take Durrsnt over to
the State Prison at San Quentin and they
will shave his head and put him in prison
garb
"As l understand it he is there for sixty
days Imprisonment as felon In the State
penltentiary, over and above, and in addi-
ton TO the sentence of death. the
court has no power to infiict it as pen
ally. Ii he is TO go to San Quentin at all
ne is 10 go there for the purpose of being
executed, or within ten days OF that time.
The judgment is that he shall be
closely confined and imprisoned. l can
not understand why they go out Of The
way to do such things in this case. II

minute. All the afternoon, with this
exception, Mr.. Durrant was self-contained,
smoking cigars necessarily. When he
spoke once to the newspaper writers and
artists his voice was bitter.
Perhaps" he said, addressing an artist,
''you had better senu me one of the pic
lures you have made. But l suppose they

who think so, and / know it; for l have
received many letters. If l would tell

This would be good time to tell your
story," said an auditor.
Never mind" said Mr.. Durrant. there

more, but resumed putting his cigar.

among them not few 'lifers," all gazing

any part Of the distance by any friend.
\OVer 1000 convicts watched him silently
with an intensity of interest strikingly
apparent. He walked not jauntily nor
feebly, but there was in his manner some
thing more subdued, more OF depression,
than has ever characterized him since he
was first brought into San Francisco
prisoner for murder.
Durrants father crossed the bay with
him on the ferry boat Tiburon and went
with him as far as the gateway 10 the arch
of masonry which leads from freedom 10
Imprisonment. Probably the father
thought that he would be allowed to en-
ter the prison with his son. But the IN
exorable prison rule kept MIN out and
kept others out who desired to enter. So
Durrant pere did not bid his son adieu on
the threshold that lay between The outer
gate anu the prison cell. purrant was
expeditiously conducted through the
outer and the inner gate by the San
Francisco officials who had him in Gus
tody.
AS soon as they reached the Office of
Captain Edgar they surrendered him to
Warden Hale, who was represented by
Captain Edgar. Then they took from the
prison authorities the following receipt as
an acknowledgment that Durrant had
been surrendered:
