TIIK IRISH CONVENTION
Is Organized In Philadelphia mill 1'rocoiU
to TrniiiAotlon of Its Ilustiiess.
Philadelphia, April 25. The object of
convention of the Irish National Land League
of America, which wai called to order in
Horticultural hall this morning, is to wind up
the affairs of that body and merge with
another body whose scope will be broader.
The Land League, as now organized, dealt
only with questions of ths land laws, and not
with those of National and self-government.
The new organization will grapple with all
three of these questions and seme others be
tides. To-day's convention will first endorse
the policy pursued by Farnclt in his efforts in
behalf of Ireland, and then will devite plans
for organization of to-morrow's meeting,
which will be a conventidn of the Irish race
in America and consist of duly accredited del
egates from various benevolent, charitable
and other Irish societies of America. The
call for this second convention states that its
objects is to form a new League, after the
plan of the National leagues of Ireland,
which will blend into one organizatioa all
Irish societies of the United States und Can
ada, the new organization to be affiliated with
the Irish National league which was formed
in Dublin in October last, are at follows :
First, National sell-government; second, land
law reform; third, local self-government;
fourth, entension of parliamentary and mu
nicipal franchises; fifth, development and en
couragement of labor and industrial interests
of Ireland. These principles, it is believed,
will form the platform upon which the new
National league to be created to-morrow
will stand.
Decoratioas in Horticultural haU are ouite
tasteful. There are carlands of myrtle and
fine immortelles. A union of green and
orange hangs over the stage. A photograph
of Michael Davitt, a bust of Washington.
slatueate 01 rarneil, anil an oil naintinc ot
Parnell are placed c either side ol the Presi
dent s chair. I'rom the corner balconies
drop Irish society banners and United States
tlaes. the latter frinred with creen. Stteam-
ers of red, white and blue bunting decorate
tne iront ot tne galleries lacing the speaker's
stand. Far in the front is the American
eacle flanked by the national flaps of Ireland
and the United States. IIii?h over all. across
the front 6l the proscenium arch is the Gaelic
legend, caed mille falltha" "a hundred
Uiousand welcomes." lhebodyof the hall
will seat about 1000.
The convention organized by the selection
of the following temporary officers: Presi
dent. Tames A. Moonty, of llufTilo. President
01 the Irish Liou League ol the United
btates; becretary, J. I. liynes.of Uuualo. Sec
retary of the IritU Land League of the United
btates; Assistant becretaries, William F.
Shchan, of Buffalo; T. D.O'Connell, of Wash
inoton, and a number of Vice-Presidents.
Mr. J. A. Mooney, upon taking the chair,
made a Uriel speech, which was well re
ceived.
A dispatch purporting to come from the
Pope was read, causing amusement. It
threatened to excommunicate any Irish Catho
lie attacking England during this convention
on the ground of England's liberality to all
rcniuus.
father Walsh then read hit report. He
nude a statement in regard to certain money
sent him lor the Widow Walsh, the Irish
mother, one of whose sons had been hanged
and another sentenced to penal servitude for
life. Every Irishman, he said, believed tnese
boys guiltless, and what is more, while their
own noble mother knew them to be innocent,
and even knew the guilty parties, she was too
patriotic to turn informer, as some icnoble
villians were doing. He took counsel from
Parnell about the matter and remitted for her
benefit $176.
Un motion ol father McKenna, the report
of the committee appointed to wait on Presi
dent Arthur at the last convention to inquire
into the conduct of Minister Lowell was
accepted.
Colonel Collins said that pendinc diolo
matic negotiations President Arthur said that
he could not give any answer, but when the
time came for action the President would be
found on the tight side.
Father McKenna moved that President
Arthur be censured for a lack of good faith
and dishonest conduct. He thought that the
President, 11 he ever came up tor re-election,
should not have the vote of Irish-Americans,
and this should be the sense of this conven
tion. Ruled out of order
Thomas Brennan, Secretary of the Irish
National League, then addressed tha conven
tion. He said it was four years since the
meeting held in an Irish town inaugurated Ui
landwarof Ireland. He compared Ireland'
present independent spirit with its then servl
tude and sycophancy, and these four years
had certainly not been in vain. Thev had
prevented a recurrence of those scenes of
1047, which disgraced Ireland and appalled
humanity. The creed of manhood had taken
the place of the litany of slaves. The Irish
Land League of the United States had ef
fected this change. The time had come when
the btgging box should cease to be passed
around. If Irishmen continued to cive up to
the idle class and indolent the fruits of their
own toil, which they should keep for them
selves, let them bea' he Iruits of their own
folly and crime. The power of the landlords
over the minds of the people is now com
pletely broken. The land league had saved
$20,000,000 to the producers. Ireland had
wrung astounding concessions from the Enc
lish parliament and had created a spirit which
does not far the
alfQW, a snirit which would vet nut an end1
cauows, a spirit wnicn would yet put an en
not oply to agrarian landlordism, but to all
the landlords which England claims to exer
cise over Ireland. The name of the land
league might cease to be herfrd. but its spirit
must not cease to move nbrnau. every
shred of landlorism must be swept out of Ire
land. Previous to the land league movement,
it was hard to stir the fitmers of Ireland. The
land league aroused them to realize that they
nave a country, mere is now no disunion In
Ireland. All are agreed that Irish landlordism
s bad, and that Irish landlordism, mint go.
Frank Byrnes, Secretary of the EnL'Iand
Land League, a refugee from Pris. was pres
ent at the convention. O'Donnovan Kossa
was at the reporter's table as the representa
tive of his paper. During a recess Mrs. Parnell
entered the hall, and was escotted to a teat
pon the stand by Mooney, and Lgan intro
duced her to the delegates as the mother of
the great Irish leader.

Nnw. Orleans, April 25. The Picayune's
Natchez special says: The storm Sunday
was very destructive to property near Natchez
It appears to have had its origin in the Red
river country, and passed northeast. It blew
down a gin house and three-quarters of the
cabins on the burgett Ashley place, in (Jon
cordia parish, wounding seven or eight per
sonn, principally children, une woman was
killed. It also blew down the gin house on
dreen's place, and prostrated camos at
Ncely's levee. It crossed the rivea 92 miles
below Natchez, passed two miles east, and
wrecked the fair ground buildings and several
houses on Hutton's plnrc. some in Mortran
town, and wounded many colored persons,
The storm which passed near Natchez does
not appear to tie the same that visited Wes

10 I'arliSiilell MontUlo Him Gives Par
ticular of This Mysterious 1'er
sonngo. The Paris Soleil publishes the account of
an interview which one ol Us staff had with
Number One." lie says that last January
e happened to meet by chance an Irishman
f his acquaintance whom he had known
when he resided in Dublin. This Irish friend
was, it appears, in company with another na
tive of the Emerald Isle, whose "strange ap
pearance" made a deep impression on the
ournalist. In the course of the converiati' n
which ensued, the French reporter asked
some questions concerning the Phoenix park
murder and its presumed author. In spite of
the evasive replies of the Irishman of strange
appearance, the reporter soon saw that he
knew more about it llian he cared to disci se,
and he asserts that by dint of piescverance he
not only succeeded in ascertaining that he had
been in the presence of "Number One," and
that his name was Tynan, but in obtaining
precise information concerning the role he
has played in the Phoenix park tragedy. The
-mien reporter men proceeds to descuuc
Tynan as a stronglvlbuilt tall. man. of ahout
45 years of age. When the reporter saw htm
he wore his beard, which was long and black,
ami tits jei oiacK nair made nun look younger
than he was. While speaking to anyone the
reporter describes his expression ns very scru
tinising. He addt: "One feels that he ts
endeavoring to discover the effect produced
by his words." While listening hit manner
is absent The reporter proceeds to give
some particulars of Tynan's former life. He
sayt that he was born near Dublin, that he re
ceived a good education, and commenced
life as a commercial traveler. Later on he
set up in business on his own account. Dur
ing tils leisure hours he occupied himself with
politics, and was captivated by the study of
the secret societies. When James Stephen
had organized Fcnlanism and had prepare !
1115 ptatt iynan was reaay to execute it. till
the recent confession made by James Carey
Tynan hsd remained unknown. Carey called
him "Number One," and did net know his
real name. The reporter of the Soleil poea
on to explain the reason why "Number One"
nas ueen described so variously. 1 he writer
says: "Tynan in his various interviews with
the members of the Invincible society never
spoke English with the same accent. Some
times he spoke like a Scotchman, at others
like an Irishman. Moreover, he was careful
never to meet the same individuals more than
once. . James Carey, who had been plnced by
his orders in Phoenix paik on the 6th of May,
seeing mm lor me nrst time, asKca ntm his
name. Tynan replied. "I am 'Number
One. He was known by that title by all the
conspirators, who were never able to discover
his real name. After the crime in the Pha-
nix park Tynan remiincd in hidinc in Dub
lin for . b uti2 days. He then proceeded to
London, where he remained till last January.
He came to Paris before the Cainival week.
but stayed only a few days. Tynan then went
to Cannes, where he was living at the same
time as air. Gladstone. During the letcs
given at Nice, he was under the balcony of
the Prefect's official residence. On hit re
turn to Paris Tynan was put on his guard by
the arrest of Byrne and Walsh, and his friends
advised him to leave France. Tynan's idea
was to go to New York, but he was dissuaded
from it by his friends. A consultation at
which there were present about a dozen of
his fellow-countrymen and a French lawyer,
wis held in Pans. -After long deliberation
it was decided that Tynan should seek refuge
in Mexico, which has no extradition treaties."
The reporter then relates how he immediately
sailed for New York, where he landed and
proceeded at once to Mexico ' He is said to
have arrived at the City of Mexico.Jwhcre ha
has a brother xtho is a priest attached to one
of the churches there.
A righting Lord.
The present Lord Lonsdale has been well
taught in the pugilistic art nnd knov,s how to
use his " fives;" as the professionals call the
hands. Recently two meu driving in a gig
ran over two of the North Pytchley hounds.
Lord Lonsdale spoke to them about their
carelessness, when they asked him if he
wanted to fight. One of them got out of the
cart, upon which Lord Lonsdale immediately
dismounted, and on the man squaring up to
him he knocked him down. The other man
then got out of the catt to assist his fallen
irolher, but Lord Lonsdale immediately
knocked him down also, and on the men
again lising they were again put hors de com-1
bat. His Lordship then asked them if they
wanted anymore, and neither of them earn
ing up, he rode away to cover.
1 ungtry n Success.
Whatever may be the general opinion of
Mrs. Langtry as an actress there can be no
doubt that she is a financial success because
her manager, Mr. Abbey, reports that during
the 24 weeks In which Mrs. Langtry has been
playing in this country the receipts amounted
to $229,663. Outside of New Yoik the
largest weekly receipts were in Philadelphia
and were $15,100. Boston paid $10,948 the
first week and $11,207 the second. Chicago
paid $12,108 and $11,547. St. Louis paid
$11,005 in one week. After the nth week
Mrs. Langtry traveled from city to city play
ing to houses of from $452 in Me-iden, Conn.,
to $2098 in Toronto. She was in Cincinnati
during the flood, and the receipts were nnly
$5957- During her firtt engagement in Neiv
York her receipts were $61,603.
