HOME RULE BILL ACCEPTED.
Natienalists in Convention At Dublin
Cheer Rsdmond's Speech.

Dublin. April 2l.-Amid q scene Of
wild enthusiasm and the unfurling Of
the green flag the irish nationalist con-
vention accepted the government bill
giving Ireland home rule.
When the convention assembled un-
der the presidency of John E. Redmond.
it's first act was to adopt a resolution
expressing sorrow over the disaster to
the steamship Titanic.
Altho acceptance In principle Of the
home rule bill was a foregone con-
clusion there was enthusiasm among
the delegates and salvos Of cheers were
heard as Mr.. Redmond described the
third home rule bill as the most salts
factory measure ever offered to Ireland.
Mr. Redmond declared that under the
bill Dublin Castle. with all its evil and
bloodstained traditions, would disap-
pear. He said the Irish would be a ma
ton Of fools not to accept the bill.
which gave Ireland Immediate control
Of nine tenths of the Irish services and
eventually OF. the whole. The finance
provision Of the bill, he said. was bet
ter than that Of either Of the two previ-
GUS measures.
Mr. Redmond concluded by moving
a resolution accepting the bill, which
was seconded by the lord mayor of
Cork The motion was carried over
whelmingly.
Another love feast was witnessed
when several Catholic priests proposed
that the necessary amendments to the
home rule bill should be left In the
hands Of Mr.. Redmond. The motion
was supported by the protestant rector
OF Kenmore and carried by ac.,lama-
ton.
w. q: c. Gladstone. a grandson OF a
former premier, addressed the conven-
ton and received = stirring welcome.

ton from Patrick Egan, formerly

and adding that this effort ITO stab lre-
land In the back should be condemned
universally.
John O'Callaghan, secretary Of the
United States Irish League, addressed
an overflow meeting at which he de.
clared that the honest hand OF friend
ship held out by the home rule bill
should be grasped by the Irish in the
United States. The only opponents OF
the measure there were men who al
ways had been opposed to any consti-
tutional movements.

Cedar Rapids, April 24.-The arrival
OF Senator cumnins Ncs big event.
The friends of the senator were looking
for him ard there was grand rush to
the Third 81: se: entrance when IL was
r,lmo-ed that ne Tas actually on the
WAY. AS he entered the door, looking
somewhat fatigued by ms fast jour
ney from Washington. he was hailed
With three cheers and then some more.
His admirers crowded around him IN
ii! ne could hardly move. The recep-
ton must have beer very gratifying
to him and he was visibly affected
hv il. The Cumr,:rs headquarters
immediately, took on new air. All
beca NE busy and busting and all en-
thusiasm. Mir. Cummings was soon
closeted with some Of his nearest ad
1isors to hear the latest reports Of the
real situation in the convention today
Az to the enthusis site nature of the
reception to the senator there can be
no doubt.
Kenyon Also Arrives in Glory.
Senator Kenyon was one OF the last
big men 10 arrive. He slipped into
the hotel. but the moment 1t was
known that he was in his headquarters
there was a rush for that room that
almost broke down the doors. Hun
dreds had been waiting for the senator
end they had many things TO say 10
him. The managers Of his campaign
had grown very impatient and appre-
hensive for all the time. since Monday
early the Young headquarters had been
turning away people. The Kenyon men
lost no time 10 rush things thru for
him. All afternoon and evening. up TO
a late time in the night, the delegates
friendly to Kenyon were calling on
him.
