port receipts. This shows that the
mills of the South have used up STAT
bales less than during 1902-O3 and 49,
719 less than during 19O1-02. the de-
crease being due to the unsatisfactory
condition of the goods trade, and the
relatively high prices of the raw ma
terial compared with the manufactured
product during most of the season.
Col. Hester's full report will be is

facts, showing the consumption of the

was Started By Criticism, But Was
Soon Gained.
New York. Aug. S1.-Much excite
ment and disorder attended the dis
cussion of a resolution to increase the
membership of the Executive Commit
tee at the Convention of the United
Irish League of America here to-day.
The proposal was to increase the COM
nnlttee from 50 to 100, and the trouble
began when John F. Ryan of Phila-
delphia said that New York should not
nave two representatives on the Ex-
ecutive Committee when Boston and
other cities had given more to the gem
eral fund than had New York.
Delegate O'Connor of Elrnira, sharp
~ resented Mr.. Ryan's attack on the
Irlshmen of New York state, and the
convention was soon in an uproar.
After great disorder the proposed
amendment was defeated and the ex-
element subsidized.
Col Sullivan of Louisiana made a
plea for increasing the National Com
mittee to 100. insisting that the South
had no proper representation in the
Executive Committee of the league.
Inc platform adopted by the conven-
ton says:

any honora BILE method, by work or
word, by voice or sword, as circum-
stances may dictate or opportunities
may offer, but we fully admit the right

A member of the Committee on WAYS
and Means read report from the COM
mlttee, in which it is stated that it is
the intention of this committee to raise
$4,000 before the first of next year for
the general election fund, to be used
in England and Ireland.
Chairman Finerty announced that
Charles F. Murphy, the Tammany
leader, had promised to give $1,000 to

Secretary O'Callaghan read letters of
regret from President Roosevelt, Judge
Parker, the Democratic presidential

bishop Ryan.
The convention unanimously elected
the following officers: President, John
