IRISH NATIONAL CONVENTION
ACCEPTS NEW IRISH LAND BILL

Dublin, April 1S.-The Irish National
convention concluded last evening In
two days it got through a large amount
of controversial work and emerged, to
quote T. P. O'Connor, .'scathless and
honored from a test that the wide
world was watching. 1t was not only
shaping the destinies of Ireland, but
1t held in its hand the fate of the pow
erful British ministry"
John Redmond, replying to an en-
thusiastic vote of thanks for his chair
manship, declared that the convention
was credit in every particular to
Ireland.
Mr.. Redmond makes the important
announcement that the amendments
adopted by the convention will be ac-
cepted at the joint conference at which
Lord Dunraven, Lord Mayo, Captain
Shawe-Taylor, John Redmond, Will
liam O'Brien and T. w. Russell, will

ing John Redmond's parting word:
May the God of our fathers once again
visit this land with the peace and plen-
ty that are her due"

gate the situation and If he finds the
condition of affairs as alarming as has
been reported. he will Immediately
make a formal request of Governor

the state militia to patrol the ranges.
For several years the cattlemen have
been making war upon the encroach-
ments of sheep in the Sweetwater coun-
try. They claim they settled there
nrst and are entitled to the range for
their small herds: that the sheep are
rapidly destroying the feeding grounds
and that agreements have been made

ADJT. GENERAL AND
COLONEL RESIGN

Denver April 19.-Adjutant General
Sherman Bell and Col. James Brown of
the National Guard have given to the
governor their conditional resigna-
tions. Both officers took this action
Thursday, the day the executive left
for the East. Neither of the officers
will discuss the affair. Other officers OF
the guard deny that they contemplate
a similar course.
Dissatisfaction with many acts OF the
governor is said to be the direct cause
of the action. Criticisms to which
both officers have been subjected as
the result of the calling out OF troops
for the strike at Colorado City and tor
other official acts is said to have had an
influence in causing them to act.
The designations as they went to the
governor were to become effective
May /. What the letter to the execu-
tive contained those who directed 1t
to him will not say. They state 1t Is
nouncement. Col. Brown has also re-
signed from the honorary stan OF the
governor.
Both Gen. Bell and Col. Brown spent
yesterday at Colorado Springs. They
returned last night to find that their
designations had been publicly an
nounced. After dinner at the Brown
Palace they made formal statement
that fails to make clear the situation.
Each said he would say nothing more
than Is contained In this statement,
Regarding the designations they say:
I'VE are at a considerable loss to un-
derstand upon what authority the
statement is based. II is not said that
It is made upon any authority ema-
mating from the governor or his office.
