At present it is optional with the states to either adopt or reject the insurance adjunct According to the sentiment expressed on the streets yesterday there will be an effort made to nationalize the insurance and make it & binding part of the body politic. With this goas the recommendation that the insur- ance be made $2.000 instead of $1,000. There _will be in the convention many delegates ho will strenuously opposc the annexation f0 9t dnsurance as a statutory requirement to become & Hibernlan, and on this questio: will bang a serious and complicated discus- sion. Since the New Orleans convention the adoption in some states of the insurance, as a necessary adjunct to Hibernianism, has provoked various objections and they have become 80 aggravating that this convention will bave to investigate and settle the con- troversy. The revision of the constitution will not develop anything startling. There are some ‘contradictions and omissions which will be corrected. Another ques- tion that will concern the conven- tion is the feasibility of privately inviting members, who live remote from the meeting place, for the purpose of enabling them to create and organize new divisions. The election of officers will engross the attention of the delegates. 1t 1s gemerally understood that the present national delegute, Maurice F. Wilhere of Fhiladelphia, is not a candidate and would accept the position again. This month his five-term tenure in office, and conduct has been entirely satisfactory. are three national offices to be filled convention—national delegate, secre- and treasurer.

It is the intention of the Nebraska con- t 40 attempt Lo secure one of these and it will work for John Rush for e por‘tion of national delegate, or ome of he other national offices. Among those men- tioned in connection with the coming slection are John McCarthy, the Minmesota lumber king; Martin J. Wade of Jowa City, John B. Fitzpairick of New Orleans, M. D.

Every true Irishman knows the history of the organization of the Ancient Order of Hiberniaus, which has for it standard motto “Priendship, Unity and True Christian Char ity,” but there are many who have never heard of hardship which the Irish pa- triote had to undergo during the infancy of the order The Ancient Order of Hibernians was first organized in Ireland when the infamous penal code was in operation, and but little of its early history is known. This is due to the fact that if any one of the patriots were caught carrying such documentary evidence they would be punished by imprisonment or else be put to death. Its founders were in- spired with the purpose of keeping alive the spirit of Irish nationality, so dear to the hearts of Irishmen, and to protect the priest- hood in the exercise of the religious func- tions. In the dark days of Ireland's past history, when the Catholics were aljowed no place in which to worship and when a price was put upon the head of every priest and teacher Catholicism, the Hibernians struggled for their faith and home land After a protracted struggle a more liberal spirit began to prevail and toleration began to take the place of bigotry Since that time the scop e order of Hibernians has changed s banners now bear the mesmage of unity, friendship and charity, with peace 2nd good will to all me These are the true precepts taught b Hibernians, and no true member of anization will foster any t of the of : on against his neighbor, whatever Lis race cr creed. » was transplanted to the United S but for years it was hardly heard of outside of New York. In a few years, however, it began to branch out, as the Irish people began to settle in this coun- try, and now there are divisions of the order every state and territory in the United States, and its members are numbered by the thousands. The benevolent feature of the order marks its strongest point. To care for the sick and bury the dead, and benevolence to all humenity has placed the order in the front ranks of charitable and benevolent institu- tions, and the contributions made by the Irish during great public calamities and toward charitable work and institutions has made the order all the stronger in every civilized country inhabited by any number of Hibernians. The order is galning great ength in the south and west now, and its membership is rapidly increasing ———— GUESSING ON THE COAL STRIKE. s in 1 Wide Diffcrence of Opinion Regarding the Outcome of the Conference. PITTSBURG; May 5.—The coal strike con- tinves, and it is exceedingly hard to say what the final outcome will be. Both sides are waiting. The operators who are friendly to a conference to secure uniformity of rates that a settlement will be reached at the Cleveland conference. They are notifying customers that they will be in & position to supply the trade as usual. This is based on the assumption that, though all operators do not agree to pay the price, the miners will be able to secure such a large proportion of mine owners who do as to justify their allowing the mines of the triendly operators to start and keep idle other pits until the uniform rate is secured at them. It is learned that this meets the views of the miners' officials. They have sucoeeded in totally stopping the output in western Pennsylvania and Ohio, and are graduaily getting out all the miners else- where. They believe all the miners will be idle by May 15 and will erate in any agreement which might be reached.

WASHINGTON, May 5.—The senate ob- served the tariff armistice agreed upon be- tween the democratic and republican leaders by going into executive session, tak- ing up the appointment of George W. Wil- son to be collector of internal revenue in Florida. The promoters of the tariff com. promise were not so busily engaged up the new bill as vesterday, and it is under- stood that practically all' the amendments have been put into shape and are about ready for the printer. Some question has arisen as to the advisability of the amend- | ments to the woolen schedul: which have been requested by the eastern democratic | senators, and it now eppecrs probabie that | the concessions will not be so large as were | at first indicated, if indee v are ma- terially chanzed &t all. The members of the | finance committee have not failed to call at- tention to the fact that the high duty pro- | vided for woolen manufactures was in part | compensatory for the duty placed on wool their raw materfal. The advocates of th | change are unyi ing in their des however, and they are ging rong | party influence to bear to secure the c 8- | sions they have requested. They suy that no ad valorem duty can be named suffi- ciently high to afford the protection neces- sary to them and are standing out stiffly for a compound du There has been considerable discussion of the attitude of Senatcr Irby on the tariff | question, and some people have regarded his absence from Friday's caucus as signifi cant. He was in the senate today for the first time for about two weeks, but he said today that his absence was due to illness.

WASHINGTON, May. 5.—Representative Crain's resolution calling on the State de- purtment for the negotiations between the United States and Mexico in regard to reci- procity and the abolition of the free zone is the result of an agitation in the south- west for the removal of trade restrictions between the two countries. Mr. Crain says the free zone was originally established by | Mexico as a means of bufldine up towns on | the Mexican border and retarding the se tle- ments on the Texas side. The zone is about | twenty miles wide and extends the_entir length of the Mexican boundary. Within this zone the people are almost entirely ex- | empt from the tarifftax of Mexico. This | has proved very beneficial to the people of | the zone. but it has falled of its main ob- | ject in bund Mexican towns along the barder. he contrary, the American towns have advanced faster than the towns south of the Rio Grande. The exemption of | the zone from tariff taxes has made it the | headquar for smuggling. Duty-free goods are imported from various forelgn countri are then smuggled across the barder into Texas, where they compete with | dumestic products and with imported goods | paying Uni‘ed States dutjes. Mr. Crain says the sentinient on this side of the border is for the @holition of the free | zone and_the peeuliar privileges its people enjoy. His resolution is with a view to | bringing about the abolithen Regulations for Seal Fishers. WASHINGTON, May 5—The Navy de- | partment today ued the regulations for | the government of vessels employed in fur 1 fishing in the North Pacific ocean and | Bering sea. There are nine articles. The first requires the masters of sealers to em- ploy only competent hunjers. The other ar- | ticles provide in brief ggainst the use of firearms in_sealing, for placing under the customs seal firearms and sealing equip- | ment when vessels desive to pass through | the closed zones homeward bound; for the issue of special licensés, to, hunt seal in Ber ing sea by United Statés customs or consu- lar officers; for the exemption from selzure | of vessels mow at sen without licenses or distinctive flag if they hive not violated the law in reference to sealing; for a distinctive flag for sealers of blnok and yellow dingon- ally joined, and for the exercise by British officers of the autharity granted to our own naval, customs and comsular officers. The regulations apply only to the season of 15894 Coast and Geodetic Survey Transfer. WASHINGTON, May §.—Considerable at- tention is being given by the house naval affairs committee to Representative Enloe's bill to transfer the work of the coast and geodetic survey from the supervision of the Treasury department partly to the hydrographic = office in the Navy department and partly 1o the Zeological survey in the Interior depart- ment.
