opposed to the protection of the

Dublin, April 1S.-By a unanimous

and tntrusteds to John Redmond and
his party the task of securing in the

At Common Basis
of parliamentary action. Yesterdays
proceedings at the convention re-
vealed discomfort with various fea-
lures of the bill, but nothing so seri-
GUS as to indicate danger of it's ul-
innate rejection. Even Michael
Davitt, who had an opportunity of d.
viding the delegates into two bitterly
opposing camps, and who, amidst dra-
matte excitement, subordinated his
own views, pledged himself to abide
by the verdict. John Redmond and
William O'Brien triumphed over all
objections; indeed. the DIRECTORS,
save Michael Davitt, were scarcely
given q hearing by the delegates.
Every available seat in the round
rom Of the mansion house was taken
oy the delegates who surged up the
aisles in solid mass and overlooked
the surrounding rooms. For
Six Hours, Without Break,
the delegates sat or stood listening to
the speeches of their leaders, spiritual
and political. Not for many day has
such representative gathering been
seen in Dublin. Irish wit and elo.
quence lived up to it's reputation.
Speaker after speaker brought the
audience to that pitch of enthusiasm
where hats were thrown up and men
stood upon the chairs yelling with de-
light. After the convention all the
leaders expressed to the Associated
Press correspondent their complete
satisfaction at the proceedings and
the practical unanimity of so many
representative bodies throughout ire
lar.d
Eager for peace but ready for war,

whole world was watching: It was not
only shaping the destinies~ of ireland,
but it held in its hand the fate of the

In statement Mr.. Redmond made:
the important announcement that

ference at which Lord Dunraven, Lord
Mayo, Capt. Shawe-Taylor, John. Red
mond, William O'Brien and T. w. Rus.

bill. The delegates returned TO their
homes in 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 due her,
T. P. O'Connor, summing up the
proceedings, wrote the following: 4
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 i'm
portant questions, including demands
for more liberal treatment of the con-
gested districts and of the laborers.
The proceedings were
Extremely Harmonious.
There was an animated but good
humored discussion in the retention
Of an eighth as a rent charge proposed
by Mr.. Davitt and myself, the former
representing views in favor of the
naturalization of the land, while 1
put forward those of peasant pro-
prietary. Ultimately the resolution
was adopted condemning 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. Ameri-
can homestead law be added to the
land bill to Safeguard the peasants
from the results of improvident bor-
rowing and the operation of land
grabbers and land jobbers::'''
John Redmond said: IT congratu-
late the whole Irish race, at home ana
abroad. on this most magnificent re-
suit of the labors, sacrifices and suf-
ferings of the men who have conduct
ed the Irish National movement in the
past few years. and who, hope, will
live to see the triumph of their prin-
ciples.' This blessed situation is large
ly due to the magnificent support we
have received from the Irish in Amer
lea and American public opinion gen.,

tion declaring for home rule.
