IRISH TROUBLES
May Be Nearing Peace
full Settlement by the
Convention

Cork, Sept 25-The Irish convention
reassembled here today the members
being the guests of the harbor board at
luncheon and visiting places of inter-
est. AS many of the southern and
western delegates were never in Bel
fast until the convention visited that
city so some of the northern delegates
never had been in Cork. The northern
ers expressed themselves as delighted
with the decision TO hold some of the
sittings of the convention here.
Though no definite arrangement yet
has been reached with the Ulstermen,
it is said the speeches of some of their
leaders. couched in very eloquent and
friendly language, have given good
grounds for hope of a peaceable settle
ment. Some apprehension of opposi-
ton on the part of the Sim Feiners
in Cork to the convention was felt, but
John MacNeir and Arthur Griffiths,
the Sim Fein leaders, urged their fol-
lowers in this city TO follow the ex-
ample Of their Dublin compatric;s and
let the convention alone.
Sir Bertram G. A, Windle, president
OF the University College Of Cork. was
host ~ Sir Horace P.unkett. chairman
OF the convention.
