The Death of the Land Leagnue Accomplished Without fe- rious Commotion, Prevarations for the National Cone vention To=-Day. Speclal Dispatch to Trn B, Prinaprrraia, April 25.—The ob- ject of the convention of the Irish ational Land League of America, which was called to crder in hortical- toral hall this morning, is to wind up the uffairs of that body aud merge iv with another body whose rcopo will be broader. The Land Laague, as or- ganized, deals only with the questions of land law, axd not with those of na- tlonal and local self-zovernment, The new organization will grapple with all three of these questions, and some others besides. 'I'o day’s con- vention will first endorse the policy pursued by Parnoll in his efforts on behalf of Ireland, It will then devise plans for the organiza. tion of to-morrow's meeting, whish will be the convention of Irish race in America and conslst of duly acoredited delegates from various ben. evolent and charitableZand other Irish nocleties of Amerioa. The call for this second conventlon states its ob- jeot to be to form « new league after the of the National league of Ire. laxid, which will blend into one organ- ization all Irish socleties of the United States and Canada, The new organi- zation is to be affillated with the Irish National league of Ireland. At 11 o'clock, the hour for com- mencing, the Massachusetts and llinois men came in, and the gallerles were slowly filled with spectators, Bryne, a recent dynamite ref- ugee from Paris,|being among the spec- tators,. Among the lady delegates Ermnt are Mrs, Dr. Biley, Miss Mary . Oallaghan and Miss Kittie Fitz- gerald, of the St. Louis land league, and Miss Alile Gallagher of the Par- nell land league of 8t Louis, and twenty-one female delegates sent by seven famale land land league branches “ThE ity . At five minutes past twelve the Land Leauge convention was called to order by President James A, Mooncy, of Baffalo. He announced that for the benefit of the press and general convenience each gentleman would, on rising to address the chair, announce his nameand state. Patrick Egan, Fathers Oronin and Walsh and a number of distinguished Leaguers, together with a number of lady dele- gates, took seats upon the stage. The oonventlon organized by the selection of the following temporary officers: President, James A. Mooney, of Baffalo, president of the Irish Land League of the Ualted States; secretary, J, J. Hynes, of Baffalo, of the Irish Land League of the United States; asaistant secretar- {es, Willlam T. Sheehan, cf Baffalo, and J, D, O'Connell, of Washington, No vice presidents were appointed. Mr, Mooney, upon taking the chair, made an address, In which he took ocosslon to allade in highly compli- mentary terms to Charles Stewart Parnell and denounced Gladstone as “‘a weak time-server who disgraces the name of Iiberal.” At the conclusion of Presldent Moo '3'- address, which was heartlly cheered, Flatley, of Boston moved the appointment of the committee on credentlals, each state and territory represented to elect its own commit— tee men. Tae motion was carried and the conventlon took a recess of five minutes to allow delegationa to choose thelr commlitee men on credentials. On reassembling the call states and territories was made, each member of the committee responding in order. The convention then ad. journed until 2:30. O'Donovan Rossa was present dur- ing the morning. For a while he was seated at the reporter’s table having been admitted as a representative of his paper. He was very qulet and took notes occaslonally. The commit- tee on resolutions met st 2:30, the hour to which'the convertlon took a recess, Darlog the recess Mrs. Parnell en- tered the hall and was escorted to a seat upon the stage by Mooney and Egan, and introduced to the delegates as the mother of the great Irish leader. A dispatch purporting to coms from the pops osused amusewent, It threatened to excommunicate any Irlsh Catholic attacking Kngland dur- ing this convention, on the ground of England’s liberality to all religions, At 3:156 the convention resumed business. The names of the lady delegates as announced by the com mittee on credentials were loudly cheered; also the names of John De voy and Redpath, Secretary Hynes read his general statement of what the League had ac- The tota W “=aw recelved by the BL’mbg,., i 183‘: to April 20, aue., this smount New York vv..ributes $19,802, Massachusetts $15,721, Pennaylvania $6,384, Connectiout $6,- 306, Il{hmu 1,263, New Jersoy $1,916, Iowa$1,354; Rhode Island, $1,499; do- natlons, etc., amounted to $4,182 and dollar subscriptions to $6,004. The expenses of the year wore $7,466 and the amount remitted to Ireland was $66 657; balance on hand this date, $4,915. The report was recelved with much applause, xplanation was asked why the lecture expenses of Davitt, Redman and Parnell were pald by the league. The secretary stated thoso gentlemen had given all the recelpts of their lectures to the lesgue fund and the central council thought it only proper that their expenses be pald. Father Walsh, general treasurer of the league, also explalned why the lecture expenses of Parnell, Davitt and Rodman were pald. He did not delgn to answer the letter from an alleged Irlshman, who demanded why he dared to pay the faneral expenses on who should be dear to every Irlsh- man. Means, of New York, demanded the name of the Irish scoundrel. Crles of *“Boycott him.” ‘‘No, no,” arose, Father Walsh then reaa his ro. port. The report showa a balance on hand, January 9, 1883, of $12,714; received from branches and from Jan- aary 9 to April 9, $8 932; balance on hand April 9, $8 692; romitted to Iroland for Land Lyagae purposes to date, $30,102; for Irish relief fund, $23 652; balauco on hand now, $4, 915, He also made a statement in regard to cortaln moneys sent him for Widow Walsh, the Irish mother, one of whose sons had been hanged and the other sentenced to penal ser- vitade for life. He sald every Irish- man believed these boys gulltless, and, what {s more, while thelr own noble mother knew them to be inno. cent and even knew the gullty parties; she was too patriotio to tarn infor er, as ‘‘some _ignoble villiana' were doing. He took ocounsel from Parnell about the mat- ter, and remittedjfor her benefit $376. Having read as part of his re- port a rather sensational letter from an Irish bishop (Daggan, of Clonfert), who denounced England’s policy of turning arable Irish land into pasture land as ‘‘pagan” and ‘‘demented,” Father Walsch closed his report, which was referred to the auditing committee, All resolutions wero or- dered referred, without reading, to the committee on resolutions. The auditing committee appointed s com- posed of Rav, Dr. Riley, of Michigan; Thos. H, Doherty, of Massachusetts; and Dr, J. W, Cassey, of New York. The Illinols delegation failed to have read a report of certaln moneys they raised, Barus (Ohlo) moved that cne dele- gate from each state oonstitute a committee to prepare a plan to merge with the National Irish League, to meet in convention to-morrow. He sald that the word ‘‘land” was pecullarly dear to Ohio men, but he wanted to bein harmony with the Irish Natlonal League, and hoped the chair would appolnt a committee to consider the best;methods to this end. O'Brien(N. Y.)eloquently seconded the motlon by eulogizing the land league, but declairing that the time has come to adopt the Dublin national platform without adding or removing a plank, and so to follow wherever the men of Ireland lead, The motton that each state and ter- ritory select its own committee men was carried and a recess was taken for the parpose. Oan reconvening the committee was announced as follows: _Arizona, Jas, Redpath; Connectiout, Jas. Reynolds; Georgla, Col. J. . Armstrong; Illi- nois, Rev. Morris Domey; Indiana, Jas, H, Allen; Iowa, M. V. Gannon; Kentucky, Mathew O'Doherty; Loufs- iana, T Marony; Maryland, Col. E, T. Joyce; Michigan, Rev.

All matters concerning the reor- ganization of the league and all reso- lutions were ordered zeferred to this committee. Recess tll nine, Upon re-assembling President Mooney stated business must be closed this evening, On motlon of Father McKenna, (Mass ), the report of Col. Collins, (Mass.), of the committee appointed to walt on President Arthur at the convention to inquire int» the conduet of Minister Lowell, was accepted, Col. Oollins emd, on account of the pending diplomatic negotiations Ar- thar could not give an answer, but when the time came for action he (president) would ba found on the right side. Father McKenna moved that Presi- sldent Arthur be censured for lack of good faith and dishonest conduct. He thought President Arthur, if he ever came up for re-election, should not have the vote of Irish-Americans and this should be the sense of this con- vention, Rauled out of order, Pending the report of the confer- ence committee, Thomas Brennan, complished daring the year. The re ort of the secretary shows that dur- ug the year 83 new branches reported to the central office, There are now on the natlonal roll 550 branches of whose existense lthe central office have offi slal knowledge, and 289 not known officially, Of the 550 branches New York has 138; Massachusetts, 140; Connectiout, 49; Pennsylvania, 44; Iows, 23; New Jersey, 19; Ohlo 14: Missourl, Michigan, and Rhode Island, 13 Hliinols, 11, sad New Ham , 10, secretary of the Irlsh National League, addressed the cofivention, He sald 1t was four years since the meeting held in an Irish town insug: urated the land war of Ireland. The time had come when the begging box should cease to be p around, If Irishmen continued to give up to the idle, useless and indolent class the frults of thelr own toll which they should keep for themselves, let them bear the fruits of thelr own folly and orime. The power of landlords over the minds of the OMAHA' NEB THURSDAY MORNING APRIL %6, 1888 completely broken, League had saved $20,000,000 to the producers of Ireland, had wrung as. tounding o>ncessions from the Eaglish parliament and had created a spirit which lsughed at dungeors and does not fear the gallows; a spirit which would yet put an end not onl, to agrarian landlordism, but all hnd’- lordism which England claims to ex- erolse over Ireland. The name ‘‘Land Loague” might cease tc be heard, but fts spirit must not cease to wmove abroad, Every shred of landlordism must be swept out of Ircland., Pre- vious to the Land League movement it was hard to stir the farmers. The Land Loeaguo aroused them to realize that they have a country. There s now no disunfon In Ireland; all are agreed that Irish landlordism {s bad and that Irish landlordism maust go Father Conally, chalrman of the conference committee, presented a report with resolution, o sald the committee decided pot to report a plan to merge or disorganize the Land League, but would leave it to the con- vention to sgree on such plans, The report was adopted. Myles O'Bryan moved this Land Leaguo convention now step on the platform of the Irlsh National League and abandon lis organizitlon so that Parnell might say as Brennan sald here to-night with the odor English prisons around him, ‘““Well done, good and faithful servante,” The chatr ruled O'Bryan’s motion belng In the nature of leglslation, must bs put In wriling, Whils O'Bryan was thus ergiged, Patrlok Eagan was introduced and moude a brief address, O'Bryan’s motion was then read as follows: ‘““That the platform of the Irish national league of Ircland be adopted in its entlrety as the platform of this organizatlon; that the same constitution be adopted; that the reg ular officers of this organization be elected for the ensuing year by this conventlon, and that the organization here reconstructed enter to-morrow’s convention and act with the organiza- tion there represented with ono com- mon purpose—union against the com- mon enemy of our race.” The sub- stitate of Brown of St. Louls was that this conveation now adjourn to meet with the conventlon to morrow; that the chairman appoint a commlit- tee of seven with power to declare the land lesgue adjourned tine die; pro- vided the convention to-morrow com- plies with the report submitted and adopted here this evening by the committee appointed to submit a plan of reorganization. O'Bryan moved the previous ques- tion upon the resolution, The motfon of Sulllvan, of Jhicago, to lay O'Bryan’s motlon for the pre- vious question on the table was carried, Atter several more motions were de- olared out of order, a motlon for the previous question was made and seconded. Auother attempt was made tc table this motion. The question occurring in Brown's subatitute Browu asked leave to insort the words ‘*when this convention adjourns,” eto. On a standing vote Brown's sabstitute was declarged carried. Roll call was ordered on Brown's substitate, the chalr declaring he was not absolutele certaln of the wish of tha convention. It appears during the call there were persons among the delegates and claiming to be delegates whose names were not on the secre- tary's roll. When New Jersey was reached the name of Mra. Doalla Par- nell was called as a delegate from Bor- dentown, and her vote of ‘‘No” was greeted with loud applause. The clergymen voted ‘‘No” almost to a man, The ladies voted 8 noes to 1 aye, During vhe call attempts were made to oast the votes of absent dele- gates, but those were promptly ex- posed. At 1 o’clock the secretary an- nounced the whole number of votes cast as 337, of which 181 were ayes, 156 noes. The result was greeted with tremendous commotion, Rev, Dr. Chas, O'Rellly, of De- trolt, eloquently appealed to the mi. norlty to make the vote unanimous, Sullivan, of Chicago, seconded the motion, Patrick Egan explained that, his views having been alluded to in the debate, he would siate that the deter- miniation of the convention met with his most hearty approval. The motion for unanimity carrted. The ohair explained that, exception being taken to his langvage in raling againat certaln gentlemen, he destred to say that he intended no offense, The auditiog committee reported the accounts of Father Walsh, treas- urer, to be s rlctly correct. The commlttee announced by the chalr according to the terms of Brown's substitute, was as follows: Andrew Brown, 8t Louts; P. A, Col- lins, Boston: R:v. P. Oronin, Buffa. lo; M. H, Gannon, Iowa; Rev, P. Dorney, Chicago; Rov. Caae. O'Rellly, Detrolt, and John F. Armstrong ot Georgla.
