Chicago C'oiiyentlun.

HAIl.MONY U1JOED.

CIIIGAQO, Oct, 8. —Irish-America HAS decided to remain neutral in the battle ftyr supremacy between the two wings of the national party. While the contest lasts no more money will be subscribed for political purposes. This in rief was the practical outcome of tho [.^President Gat\nen announced that ho

National 'nague convention which concluded its proceedings at Central Music hall Friday. No attempt \\\as in ado to evoke a declaration in favor of Mr. 1'arnell. Not that tho former leader of tho party was without friends, but apparently because his friends thought that an expression of opinion at this juncture would bo useless. For this reason tho discussion resolved itself into a contest between those who favored non participation in tho factional struggle and those who desired to come out boldly for Justin McCarthy, William O'Uricn, John Dillon and the rest of the combination. Neutrality came off with flying colors. An amendment to the resolutions lyfore the convention introduced in favor of Justin McCarthy received Just 34 votes, while 41$ were cast for tho resolutions. In the vote by states the result was equally decisive, Wisconsin and Iowa supporting McCarthy and the rest of the states recording themselves as in favor of a non-committal policy.

No session of the convention was held in the morning owing to tho tiino consumed by the committees in preparing their reports. It was after 2:30 p. m. before Chairman O'Neill Ryan called the meeting to order. By 5:30 all the business had been transacted, Including the adoption of a new constitution, with resolutions expressive of the delegates' sentiments and the election of ollicers.

Secretary Sutton's report was a slight's live document. It contained letters from Parnell, Dillon and others which made it clear that tho delay in calling the convention charged to the otlieers of the league was due entirely to tho advice of tho Irish leaders. Mr. Sutton censured I'arnell severely for the contemptuous way in which he treated tho correspondence of an organization which had sent him nearly $500,000. After a number of letters had been Interchanged Mr. Pnrmll finally wrote a letter in which he advised the dissolution of the executive board of the league. At tho same time he expressed the utmost confidence in its leaders. To this a reply was sent which protested against the carrying out of any such course, but at the same time suggesting the desire of the officers to do whatever was best for Ireland Here the O'Slica troubles intervened and the correspondence came to an cud. 1'. J. Smythe reported for the committee on finance. There is a cash balance of 51,100 on hand. The books and papers, said the report, were in first-class condition. The report is attested by John L. Lee, accountant. It was adopted amid applause.

The report of the committeo on constitution declared that it would sustain all national movements in Ireland with moral and material aid: that it wanted to weave closer the bonds between the sea-divided Gael that the poverty ami industrial condition of Ireland are due to inisgovernment that it would promote the study of Irish literature and that all societies. whether American, Irish, IrishAmerican, or of any other complexion, could become alliliated branches of the reformed league by the members paying annually one dollar each. The constitution also provides that there shall be a president, three vice presidents, secretary, treasurer aud a cabinet of seven—the secretary and cabinet to be appointed by the president. This is the personnel of the dethroned triangie, in another form, restored. There is also, according to article 13, to be a national council, to consist of one member from each state and territory aud the District of Columbia, which is to meet once a year.

The following is the most notable section of the constitution and brought a protest from a delegate from Wisconsin, who wanted it stricken out, but ho was promptly knocked out and time aud order ealied upon him: "Beetlon !i. To liurt the enemy where he will feollt most by refusing to purchase any article of English mnuufuolure nnd by using nil legltl mato itilluonccs to discourage tradesmen from keeping KncUsh manufactures on sale,"

Tho report of tlic committee was ugrecd to with applause. Tho preamble of the report of the committee on resolutions testified' to tho. primary allegiance owed by IrishAmericans to the stars and stripes. 1'arnell came in for a scoring in a later clause when the committee regretted the differ

ences

existing in the Irish par

ty, duo to "hero-worship and the tyranny of one man." The report furthor defended peaceable methods, and only advocated any others when those wore utterly exhausted. Tho report proceeded to censure those who are responsible for the locking up of 'S'-OO.OOO contributed by people of this country for the relief of. evicted tenants under the plan of campaign, and declared that no further contributions should be made to the fund until it shnll be disbursed. It was suggested in conclusion that "pur representatives in congress be called upon to call attention to the victims of oppression who aro now in British dungeons."

ROTTING IN THE STACKS.

JAMESTOWN,

N. D., Oct 3.—All over

North Dakota there is disappointment to-day. The blg crops arc lying in the fields about as they wero tossed from the binders. Kain has been pouring steadily on the unprotected crop all night and all day. It is a drizzly, wot rain that soaks everything and gives no promise of abatement Forty-five cr fifty millions of bushels of wheat are out in tho wet shocks, and there is no telling when they will bo thrashed. Never in the history of tho state has tho crop been so largo, aqd ncyor was its security so jeopardized as now. It has been ruining more or less for a week past But one full day's thrashing has been dono In seven days and the prospects now are for several days more of enforced idleness. Thero has been little stacking done anywhere. The crop seems to have boon too big for farmers to touch, oxcept to wait to put it through the separator as soon as possible. Machine owners are behind from ten days to a month in their dates. Tho price for thrashing is advancing and from the usual rate here of 11 cents abushel it has gono up to.15 cents In the Red River valley. Outfits are making from 850 to S150 a day and not half enough machines can be hud. Railroads aro offering reduced rates and froo transportation to men with thrashing outfits. There is also groat fear of the wheat sprouting before it can dry. Even with the greatest good luck there will be a large amount of wheat land in North Dakota not ready for next year's crop. Spring plowing in this country Is of littlo use. Tho ground must bo plowed in the fall. Tho outlook in this respect is very bad, and will result in a decreased acreago next year without an extraordinarily open winter.

The winter generally closes in from the 7tli to tho 10th of Novem her, and ground freezes too stiff to plow. There are now scarcely thirty days in which to thrash the big crop now unprotected on farms and to do tho fall plowing. Snow will undoubtedly cover tho shocks of grain in many wlicatficlds of the state before tho wheat oan bo thrashed. Tho scarcity of good stackers and farm help Is given as one reason for not stacking, but the truth is farmers have beon trusting to good weather, promises of thrasliors and good luck, and havo but littlo Inclination to put thoir grain In stacks. All seem to be anxious to get a few dollars now. Tho greater benefits of the futuro arc loft to take care of themselves. The wheat receipts will diminish porccptibly owing to dolays in thrashing. It is lndocd a serious condition that confronts the people, and a vast amount of wealth lies on tho open prairies exposed to the greatest loss and deterioration.

IIAI.LOCK, Minn., Oct 8.—Thrashing cruws and machines are standing idlo all over the Red River valloy. Nothing whatever has been done since Monday, and the heavy rains have so soaked the wheat In the shock that it will bo impossible to do anything with it before tho middle of next week. Loss than 25 per cont of the crop of this soction has boon thrashed and In many fields the wheat in shock has already sprouted. There is gravo fear that the crop of Kittson and Marshull counties, Minn., and of the North Dakota counties immediately across tho Rod river will grade largely rejected. It was averaging twenty-fivo to twentyoight bushels of plump No. 1 hard from the machine spout. Farmers are discouraged.

MlNNUAl'OLis, Minn., Oct. 3.—Tho Market Record says: "Tho wheat movement In tho northwest is much retarded by late rains, as thrashing Is set back in the north, where it was backward before. It is now tho „'ht with the aid of fresh crows and machines from the south of this state and Iowa it will bo Impossible to finish up in North Dakota and northern Minnesota this year. January will, according to all expectation, find a large amount of wheat still out Wheat that is now standing in tho shock has been further damaged by these late rains. Considerable of tho frosted wheat Is said to be yet unprotected by oven stacking. While there is a large crop of fine wheat left after all this damaged is taken out, there is a heavy IOSB realized on the latter. It would perhaps be Inside to claim that 25,000,000 bushels will be more or less hurt by the two causes mentioned."
