London, May 22-The nationalist
convention at Dublin having rejected
Mr.. Birrell's Irish bill, it is understood
that the government will drop 1t Tor
this session at least and proceed with
the other reforms which its Liberal
supporters are urging and with
which the seasonal programme -
crowded. That the government can
not grant any wider measure Of self
government to Ireland without caus-
ing dissension in the cabinet is not
denied, so there is no other course
to adopt than shelving the bill, which
Is represented to be the limit to which
the anti-home rule Liberals would
consent to 90.

REJECT IRISH BILL.
Largest Convention Ever Assembled
IN Ireland Repudiated Linn
lted Council Plan.
ASK HOME RULE OR NOTHING
Resolution Rslsctlns tho Measure
Proposed by John Redmond Com.
commanded Every vote-0ov-
eminent To Drop the subject.

Dublin, May e2-The largest, most
representative and most harmonious
convention which ever assembled In
Ireland, Tuesday repudlated the plan
for limited Irish council, which was
all the liberal government had to
confer in fulfillment Of its campaign
promises. This action killed the hope
Of any home rule legislation by the
present parliament. created a serious
split in the governments forces and
may have far-reaching results.
The temper Of the convention was
plain from the beginning. No one
had q word to offer in behalf Of the
bill. Home rule or nothing was the
unanimous sentiment and the reso-
luton rejecting the measure proposed
by John d. Redmond, commanded
every vote.
The Irish parliamentarians had
been deluged with resolutions from
town councils and all sorts Of official
and unofficial bodies since they ar.
rived in Dublin, ell denouncing the
bill. The country spoke in an unmis-
taxable voice and the Irish members
Of parliament cheerfully acquiesced In
its will.
Three thousand delegates came
here to attend the convention and
soon after the doors Of the mansion
were opened It was impossible to get
into the building, which was packed
most uncomfortably. The gathering
was uuieter than most Irish politi-
cal meetings. It lacked the spirit OF
the old home rule gatherings, wtSn
Davitt, Dillon, Healy and other fiery
orators had the center Of the stage.
The speeches were temperate and
there was little denunciation OF the
government except for the outbreak
Of a priest, who attempted to make
the bill a church issue and was re-
buked, everything went smoothly
The American delegates were all greet
ed enthusiastically. The keynote OF
the speeches and Of several resolu-
tons introduced was that the bill
was an insult to Ireland.
Richard Croker was cheered at the
evening session Of the convention
when the chairman announced that
he had contributed $500 to the Irish
parliamentary fund.
Subsequently resolutions were
adopted calling on the government to
fulfill its pledges Of legislation Tor
the relief Of evicted tenants as well
as for university and primary educa'
ton.
Mr.. Redmond had requested Dennis
O'SuIlivan Of San Francisco to sing
"God Save Ireland" and before the
adjournment Mr.. osullivan mounted
the platform and rendered the song
The closing scene of the convection
was most enthusiastic, All the dele
gates. as well as the ladies who
crowded the galleries, were on their
feet singing the chorus with MI
O'Sullivan.

Springfield, m-Gov. Deneen Tues

relating to the conservation Of water
power as incident TO construction at

waterways from The great lakes to the

ture Of $50 .O0O.00O. The message said
that in order to secure approval by

Is essential that the water power. de
veloped by the expenditure Of $780,
100000, should be owned and con
trolled by the state so that the state
may be ~recouped for It's expenditures
and a fund created for further devel.

tional waterway system and that the
development should not be ~unneces-
sarily complicated by questions Of

Washington.--If the amount lost by
fire, burglary. etc, is added to the or
binary excess Of expenditures over re
ceipts. including expenditures during
the year on account of previous fiscal
years. the gross deficit IN the postal
service during the year 1907 will ag-

sistant postmaster gerrral. Hon. A.
L. Lawshe. in his annual report, gives
the above figures and with it he quotes
the amount Of the postal deficit in
1896, which was S1O,51G,9 95. 94-just
1913 per cent higher than the excess
Of expenditures over the receipts OF
the postal service for the current
year. The outstanding liabilities at
the close of the year. however, are not
included in the statement. These VIII
aggregate almost 100000. The total
postal revenue for 1907 shows an in
crease of s~15.G69,S47.S0 e the year
