The secretary then read the call, and President Finerty, amid tremendous cheering, came upon the platform, i He announced that messages of wel- i come and of sympathy had come from all over the United States and the world. After the reading of the telegram, Mr. Finerty made the address of the day.

Chicago, Sept 27. —When Chairman Finerty appeared on the platform and opened the second day’s session lie was greeted with the same kind of applause that met him Tuesday. Then were read additional telegrams and cablegrams expressing approval of the objects of the convention. Among these were expressions ot sympathy with the movement from the Polish Young Men’s Alliance of America, and batch of telegrams from, every center of‘Oran go isxii in the north of Ireland. The adoption of the report of the committee on credentials excluding John M’adden and Or. Patit-'M. Skccdy, both of Pittsburgh, representing the Board oft, Erin Ancient Order of Hibernians was significant in that it showed the conven/ion to be in no u ay in touch with anything, savoring of moral suasion, which principle the Pittsburgh men were supposed to represent. Chairman Finerty then came forward and m'ade one of his glowing speeches. Alter thanking the convention for the honor done him by choosing him as president, he went on to say: l-'inerty’s Fiery Speech, American papers question the prudence of holding this convention and. dictating to us a policy, and hoping we will do nothing to ©ffenff English sentiment. What do we care for English sentiment? [Laughter ] Wc don't want to offend American sentiment, nor French sentiment, nor Russian sentiment. lut we waut to offend most seriously our hereditary and merciless foe. [Cheers ] Wc are here to-day to sound the death knell of whiggrry in Irish politics. We stand on our rights as a race to advocate the absolute independence of the land, that gave us and our fathers lire* Our friends, the editorial writers, may preach the doctrines of prudence. We will follow their advice sq. long as it may be necessary. I will remind my American editorial friends that when America had a grievance against England they did not stand on tho 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 liberty. -England <btole our parliament.” said he. “We have •isked it back. We have gone out of our way to humiliate ourselves at tho feet of England. Are we to remain "thus forever? We are not here to be told th it we contemplate murder or swindling. These belong to England. We are here to invite tho sympathy of the wholo world to our cahse. We arc hero 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 when tho struggle comes. Wc are here to tell Russia if she deeircs the conquest of India that our hearts nd hands are witn her; the French who hate England that whenever they get tangled up in m dispute with England over the colonies that they can rely upon our support “We are here to encourago the enlistment ©f young Irishmen, whether in independent or regular battalions, to be ready when the time comes.” IProlongcd cheering.} Mr. Finerty having thus outlined the cause and purpose of the meeting, concluded with a ringing peroration that brought the audience to its feet again nd again. The close of tnfe speech produced a wonderful scene in its way. tho audience standing and cheering for fully teu minutes. , Other Addresses. When tho convention reassembled at 3 ©'clock the names of the members of the committees selected by the stato delegations were announced. Then followed a number of enthusiastic addresses. Maurice W. Wilhere. of Philadelphia. was loudly cheered when he said! •‘Wo are here to dcylaro in tho open for Irish independence and entire separation, to express our purpose and determination, with Clod's help, to free our mother country. We proclaim our devotion to American citizenship and to the st..rs and stripes, but nevqr will wo i turn our backs upon the land of our birth. From the bitth of this new movement, with Irish manhood and American integrity we will work ancqasingl.y uutil Ireland is once more a nation, free and independent ” Maj.

Chicago, Sept. 27. —Birth was given by the Irish national convention Thursday afternoon to an organization ■which has for its avowed object the libaeration of Ireland from Eng-land’s yoke by a policy of physical force. Nothing- was done by the convention ■at the morning Cession owing to the delay on the part of the committee on in agreeing to a report* J \V health* delegates reassembled o’clock the committee on ways and •means and plan of organization presented its report. The introductory was as follows: “The new movement organization shall be fenown by the style and title of tho Irish National. Alliance. "It shall have for .ts object the securing of the Independence of Ireland by any means -within its power consistent with the laws and usages of civilized nations. "The qaaliheatious lor membership shall bo ood moral character, birth on Irish soil or ffliencent from Irish parentage ori paternal or tnatemal side, or both and the taking of the ioUowhrg pledge: *•*l .— -iici' ty pledge my w ord ofhonor to

aid by every means within my power In conformity with the constitution and Dy-laws of the Irish national alliance in securing the independence of Ireland.” ’ Id subsequent paragraphs it was provided that the officers should consist of a president, vice president and treasurer, a secretary to be appointed by the president and an executive council of nine. It was provided that 75 per cent, of the gross receipts of the subordinate councils should be turned into the national treasury. The report was accepted after some debate. The report of the committee ou platform and resolutions was presented by O’Neil Ryan, of St. Louis, and was unanimously adopted amid great cheering. It reads thus: The Platform. “The people of Ireland aro a sovereirn people. Ireland is by nature separate from every other country, and liberty is the birthright of her people. Ireland was known throughout Europe as a nation long before the dawn of 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 tho conquest has never been perfected, inasmuch as the Irish people have continually by constitutional agitation or revolutionary movements resisted England’s power and endeavored to. destroy -her unlawful supremacy, i “Ireland is deprived of almost every civil | right which the American people most dearly [.cherish. Unexampled cruelty and brutal j vindictiveness have been the distinguishing | features of English rule in Ire-’ land. England'" 1 has destroyed Ireland's iml us trie.', and ruined her commerce: she has placed upon her statute books laws making, it a crime to educate an Irish' child: she burned Ireland’s school houses .and destroyed her churches: she has driven into exile, or left to perish in her dungeons thousands of men whose only crime was 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 pleas of the people for justice and their prayers for mercy. England has responded with the scourge and the scaffold, and yet to-day, Ireland enthralled, but- not enslaved, crushed, but nctf 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 government by peaceful agitation, that appeals to reason for justice, are futile, ll 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 field of buttle, and wc declare our belief th *t the men Os Ireland who are being driveii into exile, or into the graves of serfs in their native land by English mlsgovernment 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 wc believe that Ireland has the right to make England's difficulty her opportunity an 1 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 arid all lovers of liberty to cooperate with them in aiding thepeople of Ireland in the achievement of the same measure of liberty enjoyed in these United States. “Resolved. That we earnestly protest against the continued incarceration in English prisons of Irish patriots. That wo consider it inhuman and against the policy of civilized nations to keep in prison 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 civiliz. tion. "Resolved, That this convention expresses the hope that tho people of i uta, who aro 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 language, 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 tho Gaelic societies of this epuntry, and earnestly trusts our people will give them hearty cooperation and generous-support. "Resolved, That this convention recommends’ iho formation of military companies, practicable, in order to foster and preserve the miiit <ry of the Irish race, and to be prepared for action in the hour of England's difficulty.” 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 leagut, was nominated by J. S. Keating, of Illinois, and elected by acclamation with equal unanimity. O’Neil Ryan, of bt. Louis, was selected as vice president and State Senator P. V. Fitzpatrick, of Chicago, as treasurer. The executive council was constituted as follows: J. J. Donovan, Massachusetts; Chris Gallagher, Minnesota; Martin Kelly, Tennessee; Capt. Siangan, Wisconsin; J. Sheehy, California; J. M. Kennedy, Montana; T. J. Dunden, Ohio; J. S. Lawler, Texas; Thomas 11. Greevy, Pennsylvania. When the olficers-elect were introduced, President Lyman promised that he would start the “work” forthwith; and Vice President Ryan declared that before many months the organization would be in the heart of London itself.

In 1875 he throve Sitting Bull over the Canadian iiue, capufred a number of noted warriors and also stu cee led in making prisoners of Chief .Joseph and the Nex Perecs. In 1878 he defeated and captured a band of Bannocks in Yellowstone psrk. Not long after this he succeeded in bringing in Sitting Bull, and thus was more a factor than any oth -r man in the settlement of Montana and North and Sqpth Dakot i.

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 in a tool box in the pastor’s study to correspond with such a chisel as made these marks. Wc shall show you more 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—Rev...John George Gibson's. The prosecution has east suspicion upon one man. There are others open to suspicion.” GUILTY OF MURDER.
