DUBLIN. Oct. 12.-The first general

pendent league, organized by John

opened during the afternoon in the
ancient concert rooms here. Eight
hundred enthusiastic delegates packed
the hall aud actively participated in
cheering vociferously every point in the
speeches which met with their ap.
prevail, and in jeering the names of
Dillon, Hoaly and Davitt, as well as
kissing the name of Mr.. Gladstone
when Mr.. Redmond characterized him
as "the Englishman who betrayed Ire
land" The climax of the convention
was reached when, during speech de-
ivered by William Redmond, he said
that when the Dillonites rejected Par
nell they ''alienated the United States.
thus killing the goose which laid the
golden egg"
Denuncjation Of Great Britain.
Continuing, Mr.. Redmond said he
would never walk into any room to be
controlled by Dillon and Healy, though
he was for unity, adding: "With all
the royal professions through our
streets it is time for 1rishmen to say
something. The great mass Of the
Irish people are today, and will be until
liberty is given them, the enemies of
England. England is bully, a pirate
and q savage. Whether in India or
Africa, the bloody flag Of the British
empire has been advanced by plumber
ing 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 Englasd."
The delegates thereupon climed upon
their seats and shouted "Down with
Britain" The meeting had up to that
point been of q somewhat mild descrip-
ton, but much
Denunciatiou Of England
and talk of 1889 followed, Mr.. Kelly Of
Manchester, for instance, saying that
Ireland 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 Britain's proposal to give Ireland
q Catholic universlty. The .participa-
ton Of tho priests in politics was con-
demned, and the Healyites were de-
nounced as ''the assassins Of Parnell."
There was, however, no discord what
ever, the resolutions were all adopted
with enthusiasm, and the reading Of
a telegram from the Irish Independent
league of New York was heartily
cheered.
