Irish Contention
Holds Sessions in

CBv Review Leased Wire.)

CORK, Ireland, Sept. 25.-The Irish
convention re-assembled here today.
Though no definite arrangement has
as yet been reached with the Ulster
ties, it is said the speeches of some
of their leaders, couched in very elo-
quent and friendly language, have
given good grounds for hope of a
peacable settlement. There was some
apprehension of opposition to the con-
vention on the part of the Sim Feiners
in Cork but John MacNeill and Ar
thur Grissh, Sim Fein leaders, urged
their followers in this city to follow
the example of the Dublin compatriots
and let the convention alone.
The following motion was carried
unanimously by the delegates:
First. that on the conclusion of de-
bate at the present sittings of the con-
vention various schemes which have
been submitted will be referred to 4
grand committee, in order if possible
to prepare scheme for submission
to the convention which would meet
the views and difficulties expressed
by different speakers during the course
of the debate.
"Second, that the convention stand
adjourned after this weeks sitting un-
