UNITED IRISH LEAGUE
 CONFINES AT BOSTON

Boston. Sept. 22.-The convention of the United Irish League was opened in Faneuil Hall today with prominent Irish Americans present from all part s of the country as delegates. represent ing the various branches of the order in the United States.
 John E. Redmond M. P. Joseph Dew lin, M. F., and John Fitzgibbons. were present as representatives of the Irish branch of the league.
 Archbishop Wm H. O'Connell offered the opening prayer. National presi- dent Michael J. Ryan of Philadelphia was In the chair. The organization was perfected and an early adjourn ment was arranged so that the various committees might have opportunity to perform their duties. The convention will last through the next two days.
 There was considerable <enthusiam throughout the session, which was comparatively brief. President Ryan's remarks were frequently cheered. He spoke in part as follows:
 At the time of the Philadelphia con- vention two years since we hoped that the pledge of the English liberal party for a full measure of home rule for Ireland would be faithfully kept: but there was rendered to Ireland. instead of the bread of freedom. the stone of deception, in the so-called national councils bill. This was a scheme of the government, the details of which had been so manipulated that failure of execution was certain.
 ."The volume of subscriptions to our treasury has not equalled our antici- pations However, we have been, able | to transmit to Ireland since our last convention nearly $50.OOO.
 Progress may be best noted by con- trast,. In 1879. less than thirty years ago. the soil of nearly the entire iLfand was owned by 730 London capitalists and titled landlords. The more than 1 five million of inhabitants were prac- | tically serfs in our own land. Today the terrible iniquity of Irish landlord | ism is forever ended. more than half | of the soil is owned by the men who | till it. and the 730 proprietors have grown into 225, ,00O farm owners

MARKET DISTURBED
STOCKS TAKE SENSATIONAL DOWN.
 WARD PLUNGE.
The Market Showed More Disturbance Yesterday Than At Any Time since the Troubled Period
 of Last October.

New York, Sept. 22-The stock mar ket showed more disturbance today than at any time since the troubled period of last October panic.
 Sensational and repeated downward plunges in prices followed each other and 1t was not until late iH the day that any material relief was shown from the drastic purging process under way.
 Enormous lines of stocks were thrown upon the market without ap-
 barnet regard to the price they would
 bring. The days sales aggregated 1.I36,0o0 shares.
 At one time, the loss over night ex- tended In Reading to six points, Louis- vile and Nashville and Delaware and Hudson, i've; Westinghouse Electric. four and one-half; Union Pacific, four three and one-half. and Southern Pa- cific. St. Paul. Illinois Central. Atlantic Coast Line, Northern Pacific. United States Steel, Amalgamated Copper, An | aconda, General Electric, Great North ern Ore certificates and others, two to | three points.
 Much of this seemingly needless sell ing came from brokers who have been most active in the operations on the | advance for weeks past. This gave | the impression that wealthy and tnfiu- | ential capitalists were unloading their holdings and abandonln& speculative
 nortion on the long side of the market.
 There was no news to account for
 inc weakness, but practically exclusive | attention was given to political dis cussion on the floor of the stock .ex-
 change. The various exchanges grow ing out of the Archbold-F Foraker cor ] respondence were circulated as fast as l thev appeared. The selling of stocks
 was generally supposed to have its
 ontxrowth from this influence. Fears | oT government action against corpor- l ations and of public hostility excited
 hv, the Arckbold- Foraker episode were believed to be responsible for the | throwing over of stocks. l The violent rally at the end of the
 day was testimony to the active part | nIaved by the bears in the days mar
 ket They sold stocks with reckless
 freedom on the breaks and when. they started to cover shorts, enormous lots of stock were bought.
 | The conviction that this buying came from uncovered shorts left senti-
 ment unsettled to the last. The ear
 Her losses were. in some important
 in.tances, more than overcome. and in
 the majority of the stocks. the net de-
 cline for the day was not more than l one point.
