Farmers from Glare, in top boots; la borers from Dublin county, landlords from Cork and priests from all parts, the latter's sombre clothing and tall hats contrasting pleasantly with the bright homespun apparel of the ma- jority It was essentially convention of the soil, though a lighter touch was given by the presence of the well dressed women who filled the gal. leries.
 Early in the morning Lord Dun raven, who is imultaneosuly presiding at private meeting of the landlords committee, sent word to John Red mond, the Irish leader, suggesting that the land conference reconvene Satur day after the opinion of the national convention on the Irish land bill is known, so that both landlords and ten ants may then discuss their mutual ob jections. MT Redmond will be unable to decide on the proposition until after to-day's proceedings, for which lengthy agenda have been provided, consisting of many proposed amendments to tht details of Secretary Wyndham's pro posals. the chief movers being William O'Brien and Michael Davitt The for mer will urge the delegates to presl amendment senlarging the financia scope of the bill. Mir O'Brien will asl the convention to entrust to parliamen tary power the responsibility of event ua11y dealing in committee stage witl the amendments
 It was. learned by the corresponden of the Associated Press that Lord Dun raven is of the opinion that some o l the amendments in the nationals agenda can never be accepted by tn ! gover1lment. but that some of the oth CTS might be accepted.

Final Adjournment Taken at Noon.
 Quiet Closing Scenes.
 HARRISBURG, Pa, April 16.-The legislative session of 1908 closed for all practical purposes at midnight. The calendars of the senate and house were cleared, and there was very little busi- ness transacted at today's session. The chambers of the two houses were crowded with spectators to witness the closing scenes of the session. The feature of todays session of the house gifts to the speaker and the other off, cers W
 The general appropriation bill, which carries items aggregating $l9,50O,OO0 for the payment of the current ex- penses of the state government for the next two years, was disposed of and sent to the governor. #
 Tn the closing hours of the house the bill creating a state department of la bor was killed, and bill was passed for the retirement of invalided judges on full pay.
 In both houses the reports of confer ence committees on a large number of appropriation bills were adopted and the amendments made by the two houses concurred in. The closing hours were marked by general good feeling among the members of both bodies and the horseplay characteristic of the last moments of previous sessions. Both bodies adjourned finally at noon.

.DEPEW TELLS REASON NHY
New Yopk's Seventh Regiment
 Was Not Sent to the Front.

President Mckinley Could Not Use the
 Regiment, but the Secretary of War
 Would Not Permit Him to Tell Why-The Seventh Had One Thous- and Men Ready to March Against the
 Spaniards at Moments Notice.
 New York, April 16.-In a speech at dinner in the Seventh regiment ar mory last night. Senator Depew made public for the first time the reasons for the so-called inactivity of that regiment in the Spansih-American war. He said:
 Il want to compliment this regiment on it's patient fortitude in withstanding the floods of abuse heaped on it by the public at the time of the war and since l then by refraining from explanations of the exact conditions under which it labored at that time. It stood ready at | a moments notice to march to the front with a thousand and, fifty men.
 ''I was sent to Washington by the regiment to see President Mckinley l to have the Seventh New York ordered | OuC. SRGAL dA CACAlC "AIAA l the president, the secretary of war and the general of the army, explaining the eagerness of the regiment to engage in the war with Spain. The president told me at that time that he could not use the regiment, and that the secre- cies of war would not permit him to { tell me why. l Later the secretary of war wired me that he wanted fifty thousand men to march at once on Havana against the one hundred and twenty thousand l Spaniards entrenched behind the fort ress there. He explained that the ser vices would be brief, but that the peril was great. and that the mortality would be large. He wanted to know if the Seventh would go on moments notice under these conditions. I imme- diately communicated with Colonel Ap- | pleton and he, with staff of three or four, called upon me immediately after. I explained to him the message from l Washington and told him would like to know how to reply. The day fol I lowing he submitted to me in writing I the willingness and eagerness of the regiment to depart on instant notice. I sent this information to Washington but before the offer could be accepted the face of the situation in Cuba chang
 ed so rapidly that the government was I unable to avail itself of the regiment $ services.

Arrangements were made immediately to stop the S:2O express at Saybrook Junction and af- ter less than two hours in which to prepare for her journey Mrs Kellogg left for New York to sail this noon for Liverpool on the steamer Teutonic of the White Star line. From Liver pool she will cross the continent to Italy by rail- Howard T. Chapman accompanied her to New York. MT Kellogg and Joseph NJ.

MT Kellogg was taken sick with grip while in Egypt, but, although far from well, kept on with sbhe party until they reached Ma ples on the return trip. There he was evidently taken sick again and went to the International hospital of Naples, from where he cabled his wife. The icablegram reported him as slowly improving.

Later groans were heard, the door was broken open and the girl was found unconscious on the bed. Beside package of cocaine was this note:
 Dear Mother: I am tired of life. Goodbye. Pray for me every night. God forgive me. I wanted to be good, but could not. Your daughter, Marie.

Hartford Man Will Now Be Charged
 With Murder,
 Hartford, April 16.-Andrew Halli- sey, aged 19 years, one of the three men shot last Sunday night by Dom mick Pacifico, an Italian youth, died at the Hartford hospital early to-day. The wound which proved fatal was made by a bullet from a thirty y-tWo calibre revolver, which perforated the abdomen and which, on account of the injured mans critical condition, could not be removed. Pacifco, who, after a hearing Monday was held under a bond of $10,000 to await the result of Hallisey's injuries, will be arBaigned tomorrow on the charge of murder.
 Yesterday afternoon it was apparent to the hospital authorities that Halli- sey was gradually growing weaker, and Coroner Taintor was sent for. HaIlisey, however, was convinced that he would recover and no ante-mortem statement was taken. Late last night the coroner was again called to the hospital, but Halhsey at that time was too weak to make any statement.
 The murdered man was an iron moulder. At the trial Pacifico said through an interpreter, that he was riding wheel Sunday evening and ac- cidentally ran into a crowd of men who attacked him. He drew his re yolver and shot in self-defense.

s'L" MEN VOTING TO-DAY.
On the Question of Demanding a Nine
 Hour Day.


 New York, April 16.-Employes of the Manhattan Elevated railway num- bering about 4,O0O, are voting to-day whether they shall strike to enforce their demand for a nine hour working day.
 President Pepper of the employees union said to-day there would be no strike. The decision of the men will not be known until tonight when the vote is counted.
 President N1ahon of the AmaIga- mated association has offered his ser. vices to settle the trouble. He said the executive committee of the ma. tional federation would probably con- sider the question if a strike was de, clared. A conference was held to- day between a committee of the mo- tormen and Superintendent Bryan The motormen later said that they were perfectly satisfied and the con- ference had no connection with the present difficulties.

THE PECK CASE.
The Man Will Get First Chance at the
 Clock Company.

The Man Will Get First Chance at the
 Clock Company.
 It was reported to-day that MT Peck. who claims to have been dis charged from the employ of the Wa terbury Clock Go because he qult work with the rest of the trolleymen, though he was not a member or naelE union at that time, had stated his case to President Barrett of the trol- leymen's union and to John Daly, pres iden+ of the Central Labor union, and that they assured him if he can pro- duce evidence that will convince them of the truth of his statement they will demand his reinstatement to the clock company'sf employ.
 Peck was in the employ of the troll ley company about a year before the strike took place, and a few days be fore that he was asked by Superin- tendent Wales if he cared to work for the company again, whereupon he re- sIImed his old place. He had not joined the union, nor, 1t IS said. had anything about doing so been said to him, nevertheless he quit with the other men when they struck. When he appb1ed TOT WOfK' to tLle 4c1OCh cUll1- pany he was asked where he had worked before and he, thinking what factory was meant, said he was em- ployed as buffer in a factory up the valley. Next day he was called to the office and was practically accused of making missta tements. He ex- plained his position whereupon he was discharged. He now believes he was dismissed because he quit work when the trolley strike was declared and thereby showing his concurrence in that step that he synpathized with the object of the strike.
 Inquiry shows there is nothing more than rumor to the matter, so far as Mir Daily and Mir Barrett are. concern ed. It seems, however, that Peck told two or three stories instead ot one. There is no feeling whatsoevel about the matter and Peck has beer given a kind of promise to get the first vacancy that would suit him il l the factory.
