WORLD INTEREST
IRISH NATIONAL CONVENTION
CONCLUDES WORK.
to Land Bill Which
Were Deemed Essential Agreed
On---Passage of the Measure Is
Said to BE Practically Assured.
Lively but Harmonious.

Dublin, April 1S.-The Irish Ma
work. In two days it got through a
large amount of controversial work and
emerged, to quote 7 p. O'Connor,
"scatheless and honored from test
that the wide world was watching. 1t
was not only shaping the destinies of
Ireland, but it held in its 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 Ire
land. In statement MIR. Redmond
makes the important announcement
that the amendments adopted by the
convention will be accepted at the joint
conference at which Lord Dunraven,
Lord Mayo, Capt. Shave Taylor, John
Redmond, William 'Brien and 7. w.
Russell will meet. This practically in
sures the passage of the land bill The
delegates returning to their homes are
in a happy frame OF mind, echoing
John Redmond's parting words, MAY
the God of our fathers once again visit
this land with the peace and plenty
that are her due"
I. p. OConnor, summing up the
proceedings, writes the following for
the Associated Press:
"This was the day for agreeing on
the amendments to the land bill which
are considered essential. Most of these
were proposed by William O'Brien.
They covered several important ques-
tons, including the demands for more
liberal treatment of the congested dis
tricts and of the laborers. The pro-
cecdings were extremely harmonious.
There was an animated but good hui
mored discussion on the retention of
an eighth as a rent charge, proposed by
Mr.. Davitt and myself, the former rep
resenting the views in favor of the ma
tiona lization of the land, while l put
forward those OF peasant proprietary.
Ultimately resolution was adopted
condeminng the eighth. but retaining
technical rent charge"
One OF the most important amend
ments was that proposed by Michael
Davitt that.the principle OF the Amer
lean homestead be added to the land
bill to Safeguard the peasants from
the results OF improvident borrowing
and the operation OF land grabbers and
land robbers"

JOHN MORLEY TALKS.
Irish Land Bill a Confession of Fail
ure of Precious Policy.

London, April l5.-Rt. Hon. John
Morley, speaking at Montrose, referred
to the introduction of the Irish land
bill as new, great chapter in the Irish
revelation, and a confession by the gov
eminent that their Wanted policy of a
resolute government in Ireland, pursued
for seventeen years, was an abject fail
ure, SO ahject that they were compelled
to pay millions of pounds to get on a
completely new track. 1t was case
of the deformed transformed and an ac-
acknowledgements that the Irish policy of
the last century had been upon entirely
wrong lines. AS to being converted to
home rule, he did not suppose that the
government had any more idea of home
rule now than they had six months ago
of this land bill. Mr.. Morley said he
agreed with John Redmond as to the
individuality of mixing the questions
of land and home rule, but the entrance
of the Irish land to the people would
greatly strengthen the principle of self
government for Ireland.

THE WRIT OF PROHIBITION
IN INTEREST OF COURT CLAIM
ANT CITIZENSHIP CASES.

on Friday Next--Result Awaited
With Great Anxiety.

w. X. Bleakmore is in receipt Of
a communication from w I. Cruce who
with G. l.. Herbert is in Washington
in the interest OF the citizenship court
claimants The bill prepared by these
attorneys to be filed in the supreme
court of the United States making ap-
plication for writ of prohibition
against the Choctaw-C Chickasaw citi-
zenship court was permitted by the
supreme court TO be filed on March 6.
and the 18th day OF March was set for
an answer TO be filed by Judge Van
Deventer, assistant attorney-general,
who has special charge of questions
perta ming to the department of the
interior. On this same day one hour
will be allowed each side for oral ar.
gument and a decision on the question
is expected to be rendered next Mon
day.
The matter is one of great moment
to the court claimants as the appoint
ment of this court which seems de
termined to disturb the judgments OF
the regular courts jeopardizes their
interests in the division OF the tri
bal lands ..
Judge Townsend is looking forward
with much interest to the final dispo
sition Of the suit All acts of con
gress are presumed to be within the
bounds of the constitution, but If tn,
supreme court concludes that thi,
court is created contrary to the consti
tuition Of the United States and is dis
turbing the decisions of the Fedora
court rulings in the Indian Territor!
which were ratified by the supreme
court in the stephens case, there Il
no doubt as TO what course thu
supreme court will pursue.
