TueE Portland Oregdhian says: ‘“August Storz, living in Albina, prefers to raise coffee in his own yard rather than buy it at the stores. Some time ago he sent for a number of plants of what is known as the German coffee berry, and this year they will produce about twenty-five pounds of coffee. This berry is used largely in Germany, Italy and other European countries in place of the tropical coffee, and it evidently answers every purpose of the genuine coffee,” | L

AN IRISH REPUBLIC.

Eons of Erin in America Advocate Lrastic Measures.

The New Movement Means Open Warfare - on England— Plans of Leaders Partially Disclosed at the Chi- : cago Convention.

Criica@o. Sept. 26.—Representatives of the Irish race in America met in conclave Tuesday at noon in the auditorium of the Young Men’s Christian association to devise ways and means to bring Ireland the liberty which for centuries she nas aspired to. : Johrn L. O'Connell, chairman of ‘the executive committee, called the convention to order. He stated the object of the convention, saying that they had met for the practical good of the Irish people and for the taking of steps to establish upon Irish soil a republic based upon such prineiples as those governing the American republic. The secretary then read the call, and President Finerty, amid tremendous cheering. came upon the platform. He announced that messages of welcome and of sympathy had come from all over the United States and the world. After the reading of the telegram, Mr. Finerty imnade the address of the day. { = o

In the afternoon the committee on permanent organization reported in favor of continuing the temporary officers, and John T. Finerty resumed the chair. The session was short and the remainder was devoted toroutine businéss. , 2 Wednesday’s Session. CuicAago, Sept: 27.—When Chairman Finerty appeared on the platform and opened the second day’s session he.was greeted with the same kind of applause that met him Tuesday. Then were read additional telegrams and cablegrans expressing approval of the objects of the convention. Among these were, expressions of sympathy with the movement from the Polish Young Men’'s Alliance of America, and a 'batch of telegrams from every center of‘Orangeism in the north of Ireland. The adoption of the report of the committee -on credentials excluding John Madden and Dr. Paul M. Sheedy, both of Pittsburgh, representing the Board of Erin Ancient Order of Hibernians was significant in that it showed the convention to be in no way in touch with anything savoring of moral "’ suasion, which principle the Pittsburgh men were supposed to represent. Chairman Finerty then came forward and made one of his glowing speecihies. Atter thanking the conventioni for the honor done him by choosing him as president, he wenton tosay:

Finerty’s Fiery Speech.

American papers question the prudence of holding this conveution and dictating to us a policy, and hoping we will do nothing to ofiend English sentiment. What do we care for English sentiment? [Laughter.] We don’t want to offend American - sentiment, nor French sentiment, nor Russian sentiment, but we want to offend most seriously our Lereditary and merciless foe. [Cheers ] ‘We are here to-day to sound the death knell of whiggery in Irish politics. We standon our rights as a race to advocate the absolute independence of the land that gave -us and our fathers life. Our friends, the editorial writers, may prcach the doctrines of prudence. .We will follow their advice so long as it may be necessary. I will remind ;my Amezican editorial {riends that when America had a grievance against England they did not stand on the order on which they threw the British tea chests into Boston harbor.

The speaker then went back into the history of the Irish struggle for liperty. ‘“England stole our parliament.” said he. ‘“We have asked it Dback. We have gone .out of our way to humiliate ourselves at the feet of England Are we to remain thus forever? We are not here to be told thatwe contemplate murder or swindling. These Proycr;i?s belong to England We ore he‘rg to lnvite the symp.thy of the whole woil to our cause. \We are here to tell our beloved Uncle Sam that if he draws the sword in defense of the Monroe doctrine the Irish =~ Americans will be behind the stars and stripes wheh the struggle comes. We are here to tell Russia if she desires the “conquest of India that our hearts and hands are with her; the French who hate England that whenever they get tangled up in a dispute with England over the colonies that they can rely upon our support. “We are here to encourage the enlistment of young Ilrishmen, whether in {independent or regular buattalions, to be ready when the time comes.” [Prolonged cheering.] Mr. Finerty having thus outlined the cause and purpose of the meeting, concluded ;with a ringing peroration that broughb"tho audience to lits feet again end again.. The «close of the speech produced a wonderful scene in its way, the audience standing and cheering for fully ten minutes. ing

Other Addresses.

When the convention reassembied at 3 o'clock the names of the mémbers of the committees selected by the state delegations were announced. ‘ Then followed a number of enthusiastic addresses, Maurice W. Wilhere, of Philadelphia. was loudly cheered when hesaid! . **We are here to declare in the open for Irish independence and entire separation, to express our purpose and determination, with God's help, to free our mother country. We proclaim our devotion to American citizenship and to the stars and stripes, but never will we turn our backs upon the land of our birth. From the birth of this new movement, with Irish manhood and American integrity we will work unceasingly until Ireland is once more a pation, free and independent.” : Maj. Timothy O'Leary, of Montana, Gen. O’Neil's right-hand man in the famous expedition into Canada, urged the appointment by the convention of an ‘‘enlisting agent’ to rally the Irishmen of every country, and to tender their services, 50,000 or 100.000 strong, to any nation or republic that might become embroiled with England, § ok ; Thursday’s Session. :

CHICAGO, Sept. 27.—Birth was given by the Irish national convention Thursday afternoon toan organization which, has for its avowed objectthe liberation of Ireland from England’s yoke by a policy of physical force. Nothing was done by the convention at the morning session owing to the delay on the part of the committee on resolutions in agreeing to a report. When the delegates reassembled at 3 o'clock the committee on ways and means and plan of organization presented its report. The introductory was as follows: e it

"Thé new movement organization shall be‘ known by the style and title of the Irish Na=: tional Alliance. | : | “It shall have for its object the securing of | the independence of Ireland by any means within its power consistent: with the laws and usages of civilized nations. i _'{The qualifications for membership shall be good moral character, birth on Irish soflor degcent from Irish parentage on paternal or | maternal side, or both, and the taking of the following pledge: 7 e ( ‘il —— hereby. pledge my word ofhonor to Bid by every means within my power in conformity with the constitution and py-laws of the Irish national alliance in securing theindependence of Ireland.’’ ik i In subsequent paragraphs it waspros vided that the officers should consist rvf a president, wvice president .and _treasurer, a secretary to be appointed by the president and an executive ‘¢ouncil of nine. ' It was provided that 75 'per cent. of the gross receipts of the subordinate councils should be turned 4into the national treasury. = = “*The report was accepted after some debate. The report of the committee on platform and resolutions was presented by O'Neil Ryan, of Bt. Louis,

fa SRRI Fos i Mg and was unanimously adopted amid great cheering.. It reads thus: - ' : ‘i‘h;g;?]qtformw “The people of Ireland are a sovereirn pecple. Ireland is by nature separate from every other country, and liberty is the birthright of her people. Ireland was known throughout Europe uas .a nation long before the dawn c¢f Christianity. and was the home of civilization while England was still barbarous.

“England's claims to authority in Ireland originated in force and have been maintained by corruption and coercion: they have never ripened into a right to rule: the title to the conquest has never been perfected, inasmuch as the Irish people have continually by constitutional agitation or revolutionary movements resisted England’s gzower and endeavored te destroy her unlawtul supremacy. s

“Ireland is deprived of almost every civil right which the American people most dearly cherish. Unexampled cruelty and brutal vindictiveness have teen the distinguishing features - of English rule in Ireland. England has destroyed Ireland's industries and ruined her commerce; she has placed upon -her statute books laws making ita crime to educate an Irish -child: she burned Ireland’s school houses and destroyed her churches; she has driven into exile, orleft to perish in her dungeons thousands of men 'whose only crime ‘wa§ their love of Ireland. Every measure for the last: century looking towards legislative independence of the Irish people has either suffered defeat in the commons or been arbitrarily rejected by the lords.. England has violated every treaty and broken every pledge, and with almost every year of the century she has imposed upon Ireland brutal laws of coercion, and one of the most drastic character is now upon her statute books. ; “To the pleasof the people for justiceand their prayers for mercy. England has responded with the scourge and the secaffold. and yet to-day, Ireland enthralled. but not enslaved, crushed, but not conquered, is in spirit a nation. " ‘ ; It.has become evident, after many years of earnest endeavor to obtain a measure of independence . from the English governmeént by peaceful. agitation, that appeals to reason for justice are futile. It is left, therefore, for the men of the Irish race to proclaim again the truth recorded by all history that the liberties of a people in the independence of a nation cannot be achieved by debate, but must be won upon the fleld .of battle, and we declare our belief that the men of Ireland who are being driven into exile, or into the graves of serfs in their native land, by English milsgovernment are entitled by the laws of God and man" to use every means in their power to drive from their .¢country the tyrants and usurper, and we¢ believe that Ireland has the right to make England's difficul= ty her opportunity and to use all possible means to create that difficulty. *“ln view of these facts, members of this convention appeal with confidence to their American fellow-citizens and all lovers of liberty to cooperate with them in aiding the people of Ireland in the achievement of the same measure of liberty enjoyed in these United States. 3

*‘Resolved, That 'we earnestly protest against the continued incarceration in English prisons of Irish patriots.. That we consider it inhuman and against the: policy of civilized nations to keep in prisofi men who have acted only in the interest of their country and human liberty: and that the release of these men is imperatively demanded, not only by the Irish people but by ecivilization. *Resolved, That this convention expresses the hope that the people of Cuba, who are struggling for political independence and the establishment of a republic, will be successful, and that we extend to them our heartfelt sympathy. : . *Resolved. That this convention, recognizing the importance to the Irish nation of preserving the langzuage, literature and music of the people, commends the work now being done by the Gaelic league and the National Literary society in Ireland and by the Gaelic societies of this country, and earnestly trusts our people will give them hearty cooperation and generous support. - “Resolved, That this convention recom‘mends the formuation of military companies, wherever practicable, in order to foster and preserve the military of the [rish race, and to be prepared for action in the hour of England’s difficulty.” S e

Officers Chosen.

Nominations for officers and the executive council were next in order. Chairman Finerty declined to be considered as a candidate for president, and William Lyman, of New York, at one time treasurer of the Irish National league, was nominated by J. S. Keating, of Illinois, and elected by acclamation with equal unanimity. O’Neil Ryan, of St. Louis, was selected 'as vice president and State Senator P. V.. Pitzpatrick, of 'Chicago, as treasurer: The executive council - was constituted as follows: J. J. Donovan, Massachusetts; Chris Gallagher, Minnesota; Martin Kelly, Tennessee; Capt. Mangan, Wisconsin; J. Sheehy, California; J. M. Kennedy, Montana; T. J. ’Dunden, Ohio; J. §S. Lawler, 'Texas; Thomas H. Greevy, Pennsylvania.

When the officers-elect were introduced, President Lyman promised that he would start thé ‘“‘work” forthwith; and. Vice President Ryan declared that before many months the organization would be in- the heart of London itself. : : ; @ DURRANT'S DEFENSE.

It Is Outlined in His Counsel’'s Opeuning Speech. ‘

SAN FraNclsco, Sept. 27.—Eugene N. Deuprey, leading counsel for Theodore Durrant, presented the general outline of the defense Wednesday in a lengthy address to the jury, which marked the opening of the case for the alleged murderer. The announcement of what ‘the defense expected to prove and disprove contained one sensational statement, which dragged the name of Rev. J. G. Gibson, pastor of Emanuel church, into the case and pointed the finger of suspicion at him. ' Durrant’s lawyer said in this'connection: -

“*We shall show you that there are marks on the belfry door.. We will show you there was a chisel iu a tool box in the pastor’s study to correspond with such a chisel as made these marks. Weshall show youinore. We shall show you those papers with writing on them in the alleged hand of this defendant. We shall show you that those ‘words are in the hand of one man—Rey. John George Gibson’s. The prosecution has cast suspicion upon one man: There are others open tosuspicion.” iy

Thereceiversare Henry C.Payne, of Milwaukee; Thomas F. Oakes, and H. C. Rouse, of New York. The resignation came as a genuine surprise, and there was a good deal of speculation as to the effect it will have in the litigation in the Washington United States district court.

[The road w;s\%laced in the hands of reccivers August 155893, on complaint of P. B. Winston,” W. ‘C. Sheldon and the.Farmers’ Loan & Trust company. Messrs. Oakes, Payne and Rouse were appointed and each ‘had to furnish a bond of {500,000 The court here was one .of temporary jurisdiction. Supplementary bills were - - filed in the United States courts for the eastern district of New York, the northern district of Illinois, and in all of the United States courts in the states - traversed by the road October -18, 1893, a second Dbill for a foreclosure on the second, third and consolidated mortgages was filed From the first the Brayton Ives faction, regarding the receivership mierely as a ruse on the part of the Oakes-Villard interests to retain control of the road, commenced to harass it with suits. They brought a suit to remove the receivers for mismanagement. Judge Jenkins refcsed to listen to any charges against Messrs Payne and Rouse and ordered an investigation of Mr. Oakes. The result of this was an order from Judge Jenkins to bring a suit against Henry Villard for $350,000, which he is alleged to have made unlawtully ont of old Northern Pacific deals. Then came the question of jurisdiction in the federal court at Washington.]
