NATIONALIST CONVENTION.
One Held in Mansion House Was
Enthusiasts.

Dublin, April 2l.--The annual Ma
tionalist convention at the Mansion
house here today was well attended and
excited much enthusiasm. John Red
mond, who presided at the opening pro-
ceedings, said the Uniouist government
and party were IN a condemned cell,
waiting for the execution Of the SEN
tcnce which had been passed on them
and In all human probability IT was
reserved for the principles Of Ireland to
give the final blow which would end
their existence. They had denied Ire
land home rule, had broken their
pledges and introduced a budget which
would impose an additional burden OF

tion of home rule was again becoming
factor and when the dissolution Of
parliament came II would he found to
be a decided factor as to what govern
ment should rule the empire.

Heaviest Spring Storm In Several Years.

snow retained a large percentage Of
moisture, and when the telephone wires
were well loaded they resembled large
ropes OF wool Many broke down un-
der the unusual strain In all parts of the
city, and the officials Of the company
say that II was the worst storm they
ever experienced. In places. as at the
corner Of Ninth 81 lth and Fifth East
streets. whole m. lses OF wires, both
telephone and electric light, went By
the board. Al one time IL seemed as
though both classes Of wires had be-
come involved in an neXtrlcable tangle

trees and wires Of every description
were heavily loaded. The poplar trees
in particular suffered, as the fiber IL
short AMI easily broken, and the weight
of the snow broke off countless branch
es all over the city, so that the side
walks were covered with them. The
boNelder trees suffered also, but the
branches having more bend in them,

the streetcar men on the Warm Springs
and Calder's Park line were compelled
to stop several times and borrow axes
from neighbors In order to clear the
tracks Of the fallen trees. The same
thing occurred on couple Of other
lines.
The company's officials were fully
alive to the necessities of the occasion,
and there was no delay In answering
the frequent emergency calls. Line
men were sought for high and low, and
relief gangs were sent In all directions.
Trolley wires parted under the strain,
but with the exception OF one case, no
injuries were reported. The exception
was where a large Redman van en-

Of its Sixth street service for several
hours this morning, But otherwise
the cars ran with greaaer regularity
than was expected under such unfavor-

The streets were loaded with sush,
and the roads outside of the paved
district were quagmires, and the north

One OF the heaviest spring storms
In years IL the one that struck the
city and state last night and early
this morning. In this city, where
seven inches OF snow fell. thousands OF
trees were broken and stripped Of their
tender foliage by the great weight
OF the beautiful. The damage In this
regard will reach thousands Of dollars,
but there is no way In which the loss
can be accurately computed. The same
IL true throughout Salt Lake and sew
eral other counties.
II is certain that there will be big
less in fruit. Fruit trees were IN bud
or blossom quite generally and how eX-
tcnslye the damage Will be In this line
depends largely on the manner In
which the storm clears away. II the
leaves Of the trees become dry before
night when frost may come, or II the
night itself should be cloudy and the
weather thus less cold, the loss Will be
reduced to minimum. Otherwise II
may be enormous.
There are other interests aside from
those OF fruit that will suffer largely,
IL Is feared. and one Is among the
sheepmen. Shearng Is now well under
way and the animals that have been
shorn are likely to die In great num-
bers unless the weather clears up i'm
mediately. And even then there are
sure to be severe losses. OF course
shearng will be interrupted all over
the state az no hockmaster will be
rash enough To shear his sheep In this
kind of weather
