PRIVATE POSTOFFICES, WasniNGToN, May 6,—The officers in the postoffice departmeont, in reply to Inquirles with regard to the pro- oceedings recently taken to close pri- vate postal companies la Now York clty, say that so far as the investiga- tlon has gone it seems to show that the most flagrant violatora of the law are the companies known as *‘Hussoy's Express,” *'Boyd's Daspatoh, Poat,” “Manhattan District Telegraph Com- any” and “Ualted States Olrcular elivery Ocmpany.” The prosecn- tlou of this unlawful business by such companies, the posteflice officers say, not only result in the lois of large revenuos to the department, bat materially and In many ways f{nter- fores with the proper conduct of Unit- ed States postal business and brings undeserved discredit upon the postal administration, The Boyd and Hus- sey companies make ocollectlons and deliveries only twice a day, while the regular government oarrlers deliver and collect from eight to twenty times dally. It s nottrue, therefor, that the private postal companies are pat- ronized because thelr service is better than that of the government. The onl advantage which these vate e 'l‘io pril- les have over ment s that of lower rates. vate organizations doing business un- der the nsmes of ‘‘Manhatten Dla- trict telegraph company,” and “‘Oir- calar Dallvery company,” have recently begun to carry matter in bulk to other citles than New York, where they have agencles, to dis- tribute It there, thus beglnning the formation of a network of mall routes in clearly {llegal competition with the postoffice department. A NEW METAL, J. Edwin Sherman, metallurgist, of Boston, has just conocluded here a serles of experlments upon a new metal recently dlscovered by him, with a view of asoertaining its fitness com- pared with other metals for telegraph wire. The experlments, it s said, show that wire made of this metal has great tenacity, does not rust and is superior In point of conductlvity to any wire now used for electrlo por- pose. The metal which has nearly specifio gravity and somewhat the ap- noe ot silver, can be produced, mna, at a cost of 5 cents a pound. A TRIFLE FRESH.

CHICAGO, May 6 -—~Tha meeting to ratity the notion of the Pailadelphia Trish convention last night was larpely attended. The Anclent Order of Hi- borrians sppenred in full regalia, and two compsnies of Irith soldiery wers pressnt in orm and bearing arims Ou the platform were members of the atato jadicisry, the mayor of the city and other distinguishued gentlemen, fu additton to the vew prosident of the leagre, The audlence was not lacking in enthuslasm, and some sentiments expressed were wildly applanded. Judge Thomas A, Moran of the cir: ouit court bench, presided, andfiu ac- cepting the chalr pointed to the fact of the inability of Ireland to acquire rellef through the agency of the Eng- lish parllament and spoke of tho un- fair representation granted the Irish people In that body. He asserted the only hope for Ireland lay in a senti- ment which would eventaslly actuate the entire American nation and which In the name of religlon and law, that they might be more eastly kopt In sub. eotlon? It 1s sald our representativea ave never proposed a defi. nite plan of welf.government. Much, Indeed, thelr candor would have avalled In & lonignmhhmn from which they have repeatedly been expelled whenaever they attempted to compel {ts attention to the wants of thelr country. But we shall print & record of bills eminently just, wise and notorously necessary, which the Irish members offered in that body only to see them contemptuounsly thrown out, generally without the poor complimeny of a second rudlnfi. Amerloans who read the record will have a new appreclation of the neces- sty of glving Ireland a leglslature of her own, It is said Ireland is lawless. We shall use the statistios of the Eagllah bureau to show she is far less so than Enagland, In a word we have fastened the attention of intelligent Amerloa ou Baglish miagovernment of Ireland, and we intend to keep it there, I miy be asked what precedent does history contatn for justifylng the hope that the wora! power of mankind will ald etroggling nationalities. I will Ro no farther back than to mentlon Greece, Hangary, Montenegro.

Bat when we work for Ireland wo work on one platform, under one banner, by one method and with one would compel England to give Ireland favorable legislation. MAYOR CARTER H, HARRISON sald Irish freedom would have to be won this side of the Atlantlo, inot by throwing bembs but by the force of American opinion favorable to Irlsh freedom. Congressman Gleorge R. Davis sald the honest sentiment of America was {rresistably with Irelandin her struggle for liberty, but warned his hearers that any attempt to organize "a re- bellion this side of the ocean, to be carrled on by indirect methods, would n‘lnnu the sympathies of this peo. ple. ALBXANDER SULLIVAN, president of the Irish national league of Amerloa, was greeted by a storm of applause, and began his address by re- ferring to matters in his personal oareer, which have been commented upon since being ralsed to the head of the new natlonal organizatlon of Irishment. I have known what it is to have enemles,” sald the speaker; “‘It Is just, however, that I should say that many who became 80 on the mias- taken impression of circumatances, have since became, on heariug the truth, my warmest frlends.” Pro- oeeding to other snbjects he sald: “The great conventlon which assembled at Philadelphia was the largest repro- sentatlye body which ever came to- gether in Amerioa to deliberate on the condition of Ireland and to take | such actlon as would. in its judgment, best promote hier wWulfare. It was ea- sentially an American body. Ameri- oan in simplicity and straightforward- nees of its proceedings; American in {ts quiet and sturdy behavior; Amer- ioan In the wide view it took of polit- foal i{deas; American in that it owed and proudly boasted ita first allegiance to the constitation and laws of this republio, and American in its desire to extend the principles of that con- stitution and the blessings of those institutions to ita euslaved mother- land. He contended that the Phila- delphla platform had wsecured an en- thusisstic approval fiom the entire Amerlcan press without nota- exception, and that 1t has won for Ireland to a de- gree hitherto unattained the sympathy of mankiad, *‘Yet,” sald the speaker, ‘‘for such Is the conditon of Irelard to-day, if such a platform were put forth by a eimilarly constitated body {2 Dablin the entire assemblage would have been marched uunder military escort from the convention hall to the most illaetrous abodes the Eoglish government has, the jailr.” The plat- form declares in a word that hence- forth the Irish race in exile is a unit fo its determination to aid our coun- trymen in thelr stroggle for self-gov— ernment by whatever methods they think hest for the achievement of that end " Continuing he declared it s the purpose in carrying out the wishes of the convention, to make the masses of the American people in- formed of the truth about Ireland. When they understood the reasonable- ness of her clalm tha£ would be united in its support, and thele will properly expressed, the Bridsh government could not withstand, He contended that the method Eogland had most suocessfully practiced against Ireland was by mlsrepresentation in aessrting that the land was over populated and emigration a neceesity, yet the popu- Iatlon is only 162 to the squsre mlile, while Germauy nas 213 and Eogland and Wales 445, It 18 ssid,” continued the spesker, “Ireland, belng an sgricaltural conn. try, cannot eupport herse!f It is true, comparatively spesking, she has uo manofactares, but who destroyed them? The English government, that Irsland might be an exclusive market for the English manufacturers, It has been ssid Ireland is withous capital, and that a country without caplital can- not maintain self government, but we shall tell the Amerlcan pecpls how the capital {s dralned from hor tecming soil, and they will see for themselves hat it ls only by self-goverument that she oan keep her capital at home and fovest In industries which will create dnmu:'lo exchanges.

At the conclusion of Sallivan's ad- dress he was heartlly applauded. The prooceedings closed at mlidnight, the sudience rising and jolning in the chorus of ‘‘God Save Ireland.” Three cheers were given for the national league, BRENNAN T0 ORGANIZE, New York, May 6.—The newl; elected counoll of the Irish National League of America made arrange- ments with Thos.

In the coures of his re- marks he eald he weat to the conven- tion to do his duty regardless of the political unpopularity which {t might entail. The result was he had been misreprepresented by the eastern press, which classed him with the dynsmite faction. He favored sup- porting Parnell, and wonld not antag- onize the new league.
