Dublin, April I-The Irish Ma
ing. In two days it got through
large amount of controversial work
and emerged, to quote T. P. O'Connor.
''sca thless and honored from a test
which the whole world was watching.
1t was not only shaping the destinies
of Ireland, but it held in it's hand the
fate of the powerful British ministry"
John Redmond, replying to an en-
thusiastic vote of thanks for his chair
manship. declared that the convention
was a credit in every particular to
Ireland.
In a statement Mr.. Redmond makes
the important announcement that the
amendments adopted by the conven-
ton will be accepted at the joint con-
ference at which Lord Dunraven, Lord
Mayo, Capt. Shawe-Taylor, John Red
mond, William O'Brien and T. w.
Russell will meet. This practically in
sures the passage of the Irish land
bill.
T. P. OConnor summing up to-days
proceedings, wrote the following for
the Associated Press:
Talked Over the Amendments.
This was the day for agreeing on
the amendments to the land bill which
are considered essential. Most of these
were opposed by William O'Brien. They
covered several important questions,
including demands for more liberal
treatment of the congested districts,
and of the laborers.
THE proceedings were extremely
harmonious. There was an animated,
but good humored, discussion on the
retention of an eighth as a rent charge
proposed by Mr.. Davitt and myself,
the former representing in favor of
the naturalization of the land, while
l put forward those of peasant pro-
prietary. Ultimately the resolution was
adopted condemning the eighth, but re-
tanning technical rent charge"
Davitt Wants Homestead.
zone of the most important amend
ments was that proposed by Michael
Davitt that the principle of the Ameri-
can homestead law be introduced into
the land bill to safeguard the peasants
from the results of improvident bor-
rowing and the operation of land grab
/ bers and land jobbers.
"In view of misunderstanding in
the case of certain English papers,
John Redmond introduced a strong
home rule resolution, declaring that the
Irish nation would never be satisfied
until it obtained full measure of self
government.
Michael Davitt briefly seconded the
resolution, saying Irishmen would be
neglecting their sacred duty to the
cause if they did not send such a mes
sage to their race throughout the
world.
MIR. Redmond's resolution was car
ried by reclamation.

YESTERDAYS STOCK MARKET.

Bears Have FieId Day-A Final Rally. New York, June 5.-The bears had a field day on the stock exchange to-day and sold stocks with such enthusiasm that they found themselves somewhat over-taxed towards the close and had a scramble to get back stocks to cover their short sales. The final rally made clear that professional raiding tactics played an important part in the days declines. But the unsettled state of feeling among securities holders was
 clearly evident from the success of the
 raiders in dislodging long stock. Part of the heavy liquidation during the day was forced by extensive calling of loans. The forecast of the bank statement gave a plausible reason for this contrac- tion of credits in the decline in cash re-
 sources for the week. The calling of loans, according to these views, was for account of one of the powerful financial
 groups with the purpose of forcing down prices and thus affording an op- portunity to buy in at an advantage. Stocks in which this financial group is the dominant power have been among those most severely handled in the late collapse A story that heavy holdings of Amalgamated Copper had been talk
 en over from a conspicuous Boston op- orator at a level below the market was said to be an additional reason for the change to the buying side of the market by the capitalists referred to. Amalga- mated Copper, after clipping another point from it's low record this morning,
 did become aggressively strong in the faternoon, rising points over last night. Pennsylvania also after lowing it's record for this movement by a small fraction developed support that became
 rather steady, although very active around last nights level. The bad effect upon sentiment of the recent large sell ing in this stock was still perceptible to- day. Fears for the crops obviously played part also in the days heaviest declines which were among the cotton
 and corn grangers. The southwestern cotton carriers were especially affected and Atchison and Union Pacific touched new low record for the movement. The late rally resulted in the recovery
 of substantial portion of the early
 losses and some of the principal active stocks on the list closed a fraction high CT. With a loss to the sub-treasury by the bands, principally on account of gold exports, of $7,140, 900 and estimates of a net receipt on the interior movement of
 only about $4,OO0O00, a considerable inn pairment of the scanty surplus of the banks is indicated. Sterling exchange was lower and loan bills were reported to be freely offered in that market.
 Bonds were weak. Total sales par value
