Chairman of the conventiant I thank the convention of the Irisie National League of America for the ing message which you send The ra1ltlaUon by the convention of our policy and the action of the order in the United States and the moderation of the proceedings hays created a pmfoand impression here and added great strength to our cause CHARLES STEWART PARNELL" William O'Brien editor Of United Ireland was here introduced to the audience He made a stirring speech which was received with great enthusiasm A Scotch member of Parliament John McCulloch of Glasgow was the next speaker He was listened to with marked attention as were else those who made the concluding addresses Rev Chas O'Reilly of Detroit Father MelKenna of Massachusetts Rey Betts of Louisville and Col John Atkinson of petrol IA meeting of the National Committee of tee Irish National League was held to-day With President Jaw Fitzgerald of Nebraska in the chair Before proceeding to the regular business of the meeting Jim Armstrong of Georgia moved the following resolution: "Resolved that the National Committee of the Irish National League of America deems it ha first duty to thank Patrick Egan for the courage and ability displayed by him In the fidfillinent of his duties as President of the League and that our best wishes go with him in his retirement from office The motion was seconded by Second Vice President Rev Father A McKenna and after speeches of approval were made by President John Fitz- gerald Clam editor of the Montreal Post Kelly of Vermont Kelly of Minnesota Judge Fitigeraid of Cincinnati and others it was carried unanimously President Fitzgerald was then authorized to appoint a conference committee of seven It is expected he will announce the names to-morrow The remainder of the session was occupied in disposing at nwnerotai matters of a purely routine character COLUMBIA CRTC An() Aug wm another great outpouring of Irish at the spacious Artillery Armory on the lake front We evening to hear the addresses by Michael Davitt and the Irish parliamentary delegatee Thousands of sympathizers with the League movement had been unable to hear these gentlemen speak and an opportunity was afforded by this occasion An admission fee was charged the money to be applied to the parliamentary fund Before 8 o'clock there were between 10000 and 12000 persons preaent with a waiting crowd outside The appearance of Michael Devitt and the other Irish notables was the signal for uprparious cheering Mr Alexander Sullivan presided The doors were opened at I o'clock and a little after that hour MeeersO'Brien Deasy Redmond and Devitt left the Grand Pacific in open carriages They were escorted to the place of meeting by the Clan-nah-Gael Guards and the Hibernian Rifles The in-f teresting event of the evening was the presentation to ex-President Egan of a silver tea service the gift of Mr Parnell and other distinguished Irishmen The sot stands lin an ingenlously-constructed mahogany case Mg of Ille In the fate of public authority It will cross the Atlantic to the citadel of auarchial propaganda in Europe as a warning to the Herr Moats and the Prince Irapotkines and their dieciples that this republic though styled by vulgar demagogueism an 'acylum for the oppressed' is not a safe aitylum for 'oppreesed Socialists' The verdict of the jut is just perfectly just and righteoue This is and will be the judgment not only of the American people but of every civilized people on earth It la a mandate of justice that it only remains for the ministers of the law to fulfill It will be fulfilled Let not the convicted ntalefactors nor their wretched disciplealuor sympathizing cranks of any class or sex indulge themselves in any delusive hopee on the contrary Already have been heard whispers of what deeperate means the armed socialists propose to employ to reecue their chiefs from the gallows or to avenge their death upon their righteous Judges etc but all 'Ali whisperings of socialism idle dle breath The eocialist malefactors will be hanged and if their disciples continue their propaganda of crime even in whispers it is only a queetion of time Se hen they will mount thesolden stairs by the saine road" The Daily News to-morrow will say editorially regarding the verdict in the Anarchist case: "It is with perfect satisfaction neat-toyed with any sentiment of triumph over the convicted Anarchists that the Daily 1 News congratulates Chicago and civilization 1 on the verdict that condemns Spies Par-I sons Fielden Lingg Fischer Engel and 1 Schwab to the gallows and Neebe to the 1 pilsos So far as the prisoners theentedvee are concerned they were never personally worthy of the public interest manifested In their trial But the principle they represented the conspiracy in which they were engaged the blood which was shed through their instrumentality provided by them demanded their swift certain and adequate ronishment It is difficult to praise too highly the performance of duty embodied in the verdict of the twelve men who heard the teetimony and law in this most momentous case They deserve the gratitude of a community which they have saved from the unrest and terrors of a merely iebuked conspiracy Their verdict sounds the note of warning to every foreign socialist revolutionist nihilist communist and anarchist seeking these shoree that he must leave his incendiary thoughts behind him that American law willinot tolerate any divided authority over the lives property and happiness of American people It is a verdict admirable in its completeness And when its sentence is executed on the scaffold it will tell to the world that in Chicago and throughout tha Union the will of the community is stronger than aey of its disaffected elements the law of the land made by and for the people above the malignity of Anarchists In rapid to the conviction and sentence of Neebe the jury has shown itself wiser than the general public It has weighed the part he took in distributing the 'Revenge circulars as a part of the conspiracy and the verdict says to every weak malicious or infatuated dupe of the darkness of anarchy: 'Touch not the foul thing lest you perish in this certain condemnation' Every citizen of Chicago has reason to be proud of the courage and honesty and devotion to duty of her fellow-citizens the members of the jury who have stood between the community and anarchy" The Volks-Zeitting recognized as the Socialists organ of this city heads its editorial article on the verdict in the Anarchist trial "The Court of Lynchers in Chicago" and says: "DO you see them at work the gang of despoilers ruling this country? Mime are those optimists who believed that after the movement in May last the subsequent era of clam sue-lice would disappear like flowing water in the sand after a short drunken debauch Because it was against the spirit of our country We know them better these ruling powers who on behalf of the people made their verdict to be out of what they call Justice and who yesterday in Chicago con- demned to death seven of the defen- dants because they made an attack by speech and writings upon the 'holy order of things' By the means of this verdict the Chicago jury gained the humortal prestige of having branded the American bourgeolsce forever with the brand of the most infamous class of brutality ever beard of In rough brutal reckless man- 1 nor the ruling class ha shown itself to better advantage than ever before in any of the despotic countries of Europe" Then comes a review of the evidence and then the article continues to argue that the condemned men were simply convicted for being Anarchists and concluding says: "This is not the place to criticise the theories and tacties of the convicted men We see in their murderers only the represents-lives of clam hatred and the convicted simply their victims Instead of rooting out the belief of the necessity of a revolution by force the order-loving official murderers in Chicago will soon find out that they have sowed a very bad seed when they sent their victims to the gallows They will drive hundreds and thousands of those who hitherto believed in peaceful developmenta into the arms of open bloody relentless war The blood they spill will come wpm their own heads and their damned 'order' which they in their stu- pidity believed they could protect while to the contrary they have dug its grave" ATHENS Sena Tone Aug

Interesting Meeting of the Cengres sional Committee LONDON Aug 20--In the House of Commons this afternoon Mr Biggar Parnellite moved that a neW writ be issued toren elmtion In the South Division of Sligo in place of Mr Sexton who having been elected both for that seat and for the West Division of Belfast decided to sit for the latter The speaker refused to receive the motion stating that a petition had been presented against granting a seat to Mr Sexton for Weed Belfast Sir Ferguson under secretary for foreign affairs replying in Commons to a question by GourlyGladstonian member for Sunder laud stated that negotiations I for the amicable settlement of the Northwestern Atlantic fisheries disputes were proceeding between England and the United States and Canada It was not Intended by either the United States or Eng laud added the under secretary to appoint a joint corn-mission to amend the treaty of 1818 Replying to Frederick Seeger Hunt Conservative member for West Marylebone Sir I Ferguson said the Government were unaware that Russia had as alleged either occupied or threatened to occupy Port Laze-ref De (tiers Russian foreign minister bad added the Under Secretary informed Sir IL Morier British ambassador to St Petersburg on July 23 that the statement that Russia had occupied or intended 1 to oecupy Port Lizeref was unfounded Thomas Power O'Connor maintained that Lord Randolph Churchill's speeches were the original cause of the Belfast riots Cheers Every man who had lost his life In the riots was the victim of Churchill Continuing Mr O'Connor said that a coinmissiou ought to be appointed to inquire Into the actions of the Primrose League which he said was guilty at the last election of boycotting and intimidating to an unheard of extent He said that a vast majority of the Liberals supported Mr Gladstone's scheme which though it had been temporarily checked would inevitably mee With ultimate success He further said that the policy of the Gov-eminent of inquiring into the judicial rents was illogical and impracticable because the Commission could not complete its report before the springwhiletheevil existed now and the crisis would come inNovember Many men and women in Ireland would be bound to have relief before spring Re gargling the Government's plan of aiding VON works in Initials-ha said it would cost more than Mr Gladstone'a much abused scheme Mr O'Connor objected to "disguised alms" The policy of the Government he said was a declaration of war against the twice repeated verdict of the Irish people It was a decree of starvation for hundreds of thousands of tenants It would lead to jobbery demoralization and the squandering of public moneys and British tax payers would be the ultimate losers Cheers Sir William Vernon-Harcourt said that boycotting was one of the greatest social crimes Lord Salisbury in his speech at Newport had said that the ordinary law was inadequate to suppress boycotting How then did the Government propose to suppress it without coercion? The only way was by removing the cause The people must be in sympathy and harmony with the Government The Irish national sentiment must be gratified Ireland must be treated like Canada The people knew what they wanted He accused Lord Randolph Churchill of inciting landlords in his speech laid evening to exact the utmost farthing of reets by prowls-tag the assistance of the whole armed forces of the kingdom Such language wag the greatest possible incentive to disorder Cheers The late government however faulty it was In other respects never encouraged evictions The Tory government seemed to have only one panacea namely royal communism It was impossible any longer to bribe Ireland with gold to abandon her national demand Cheers He (Harcourt) believed that the principle of equal local self-government for the three kingdoms was a false principle He quoted opinions of Disraeli to the effect that the system of government for Ireland eheuld be the reverse of that of governing England He (Harcourt) contended that Ireland did not want such local self-government as was proposed The policy of the government was based upon great errors of principles and was altogether inapplicable and impracticable Parriellite cheers In the House of Commons on Tuesday next during the debate on the address in reply to the Queen's speech Mr Parnell will move an amendment with reference to the land question including the suspension of evictions in certain cases The debate was adjourned on motion of Mr Labouchere Mr Gladstone congratulated Mr O'Connor epon his effective oration Mr Sexton will defer the raising of the question of the riots until the debate on Mr Parnell's motion It is stated the Farnellites will discuss the estimates line by line in order to prolong the session COMMENT ON TEM CONTENTION LONDON Aug 21--The Standard says: "The Home Rule Liberals will find little encouragement in the Chicago Convention After all the Parnellites are dependent on American donations and they cannot have money tor nothing though they are allowed to try what Is possible with Gladstone and Constitutionalism The American Irish feeling favors arenewalof theold struggle" The Daily News says: Chicago Convention has done good service in the muse of Ireland by making short work of Finerty who stands the best rebuked man in America" FOREIGN NOTES Forty houses were burned yesterday in Bourg St Augustine At Trieste there were sixteen cases of cholera and three deaths yesterday The Convention 1o Be Held at Columbia Sept 15 I 1 1 1 1 4 1 fl i i I 1" i 1 i 'r 7 NeW Your Aug New Yorker Zeitung says: "The jury in Chicago gave a draconic verdict Directly convicted of the Jo deed of which they are accused le none of them found guilty Nobody knows who threw that fateful bomb and who the per-sou was who lent directly a helping hand Link had been forged to link till a chain was formed that closed itself around the accused not lase firm than the well known serpent around the limbs of Lackoan and his sour None can ever doubt that the way to battle against law and order which reached its climax on the 4th of May has been preached by the accused ors for months and years that the self-eame accused gave their particular attention to the fabrication and use of dynamite bombs that espechdly for the mass-meeting on the Haymarket the execution of a genial pro' gramme had been intended and that the accused on the self-same overdue had at their disposal instruments of murder like the bomb which brought sudden death to not a small number of dutiful policemen Where could the bomb bare come from? The defense bmed itself on the part that not one of the accueed bad directly been proved to have thrown the bomb Iteverthe1 less it is clear that- a verdict of 'guilty' hardly would have been brought In had not the representative citizens of Chitego been anxious for an opportunity to declare in a way and manner that could not be misunderstood that they as a whole abhor Anarchism its doctrines and lie evi' deuces of existence Whatever direct connections there might have been between tho accused and the concluded It was evideut that the accused approved of such use of infernal niachines and therefore they ought to bear the consequences Some of the accused were surely guilty and for the others the old saying 'mitgetangon ndtgebangen' (they caughttogether hanged togetber) is applicable and this time applis cable in the moat literal way" The Sun commentingon the anarchists' conviction says: "The beet intelligence that has been printed in many a day whole201110 and cheering to all who respect law and order and love their country is that which comes from Cblingo Seven murderers and frantic scoundreb men envenomed against all law all reason all decency and the peace and welfare of a civilized people are to be executed on the gallows for the murders of which they are minty The law they defied will Nett) in their execution and a prompt tem and necessary warning will be offered to a class of exotic criminals for whom there is no room in this land We have had no 14414 such task imposed on us in New York as bad devolved on the authorities in Chicago but we are quite equal to it should so de' plorable a necessity arise We have Most and a few other reptiles in Jail We have dealt fairly well with our foreign boycotters and we have a police 1 force that is equal to any emergency But all honor to Chicago for her exampte i0i She deserves the thanks and gratitude of every community in the country and she Ins them in the fullest measure" The Herald eitys: "The verdict which con demos seven of the Chicago anarchists to death and the other one to a long term of imprisonment will be hailed with a general 1 satisfaction not equaled since that which -A followed the conviction of Gull-eau With one exception these miscreants have been found guilty of Murder and are condemned to pay its penalty But their crime is more heinous and more dangerous than ordinary murder They scoffed at law conspired against organized government and recklessly attacked social order The end of their diabolical teachings was general murder moon and pillage They plotted and threatened wholesale destruction of life and property In short what they sought was simply as their name anarchy of the most appalling kind They have now been made to feel the grasp of that law which they at faded to devise and attempted to trample under foot The verdict rendered yesterday condemns these criminals to deserved punishment It will have a more far-reaching effect It will be a timely and wholesome warning to an -archiste not only in Chicago Mat in New York San Francisco New 0110111111 or wherever they may be found that the red tag of anarchism eannot be openly run up 3 with impunity ia this country The verdict 1 cot national importance and the jury that so promptly and fearietiely rendered ban done a Rational service:" 4 4 I WHAT AYERS i 141 CHICAGO SAY 1 CHICAGO Aug the Ter diet to-day the Journal says The oomph'- store and desperadoes who organized and armed theuisidvea drilled and planed to 'throttle the law' and to murdee IN agents will pay the penalty of the law The jury did its work faithfully promptly and well The evidence was so clear the purpose of the outlaws on trial was made so obvious and the terrible catastrophe which they bad precipitated called so loudly and justly for exemplary punishment that the members of the jury did not need a long period for deliberation to form or to confirm their udgmenta The verdict and sentence are as net equally the judgment of every Intel- li el: gent and well dispoeed citizen Interviews 1r are printed with leading citizens of all l- classes They enrage the general view that the verdict Is just and right and saves 1 not ony the reputation of the nationbut par- ticularly that of this city in the ability of thecourts of justice to deal with any el ragestesulting from anarchlal teachings" The Times will say to-morrow editorially: 11The trial et the eight Socialists in tMs city has terminated in a verdict of guilty against 4 7 all of the The trial has been in some respects the meetremarkable criminal trial that has

the history of Irish abuses and assured list men that all their struggles for freedom were fully appreciated The movement now was under control of men in Ireland and they knew better what was to be done than any one else and they should receive hearty and undivided support from those on this side of the water He had one word of advice to giva and that wale' "Never never let politics creep within your councils" Terrific applause They had caught the American people and they should assemble together and present the force of moral effort and the cause would never go do ffn The audience was urged to send back the Irish representatives to that grand old man to assure him that the sympathies of the American people were with him Mr Randall closed by speaking of the sympathy the Americans had for the English masses who were assisting Mr Gladstone to give home rule to Ireland Michael Devitt followed in an address stating the position of himself and his colleagues He then amid an outburst of enthusiasm from the audience said that he had a special errand The following address was then read from the platform by Mr Devitt: "Dear Sir: Upon your return to Ireland last December after a
