The Gathering, Previously Mild, Stirred to
Bitter Denunciation by the Words of
Redmond — Resolutions Adopted.
DUBLIN, Oct. 11.— The first general
national convention of the Irish Inde
pendent league, organized by John Red
mond, M. P., the Parnellite leader,
opened this afternoon in the ancient
concert rooms here. Eight hundred en
thusiastic delegates packed the hall and
actively participated in cheering vo
ciferously every point in the speeches
which met with their approval, and in
jet-ring the names of Dillon, Healey
and Davitt, as well as hissing the name
of Mr. Gladstone, when Mr. Redmond
characterized him as "the Englishman
who betrayed Ireland." Every refer
ence to the struggle of 1798 was greet
ed uproariously, particularly Mr. Red
mend's reading of the oath taken by
the revolutionists. All the speeches
paid tribute to the patriotism of the late
Charles Stewart Parnell, and warm
cheers greeted the entrance of the Red
monds, John Parnell and Patrick
O'Brien into the hall. The climax of
the convention was reached when dur
ing a speech delivered by William Red
mond, he said that when the Dillonites
rejected Parnell they "alienated the
United States, thus killing the goose
which laid the golden egg."
Continuing, Mr. Redmond said he
would never walk Into any room to be
controlled by Dil'on and Healey, though
he was for unity, adding: "With all
the royal processions through our
streets, it is time for Irishmen to say
something. The great mass of the Irish
people are today, and will be until liber
ty is given them, the enemies of Eng
land. England is a bully, a pirate and
a savage. Whether in India or Africa,
the bloody flag of the British empire
has been advanced by plundering and
destroying poor people. Our sympathy
goes out to these poor people. God bless
them and give success to their efforts.
Three cheers for the men in India who
are fighting England."
The delegates thereupon climb sd upon
their seats and shouted "Down with
Britain." The meeting had up to that
point been of a somewhat mild descrip
tion, but much denunciation of England
and talk of 179S followed, Mr. Kelly, of
Manchester, for instance, saying that
Ireland would have her jubilee in 1898,
"over the attempt of honest men to do
honest work for Ireland."
There was also much denunciation of
Great Britain's proposal to give Ire
land a Catholic university. The par
ticipation of the priests in politics was
condemned, and the Healeyites were
denounced as "the assassins of Par
nell."
There was, however, no discord what
ever, the resolutions were all adopted
with enthusiasm, and the reading of
a telegram from the Irish Independent
league, of New York, was heartily
cheered.
Every possible effort was made to
organize a thoroughly representative
convention. Invitations were issued
to all corporations, town commission
ers, poor law guardians, foresters,
members of the Gaelic Athletic clubs,
amnesty associations, national banks,
trades, trades councils, registration
associations, young Ireland associa
tions and national and workingmen's
clubs. The stewards of the Parnell
anniversary demonstration acted in a
similar capacity at the convention.
Among the members of the executive
committee on the platform was Louis
Cljilkoot Pass Road.
Contract Let for a Tramway to
Be Finished January i.
TACOMA, Wash., Oct. 11.— George B.
Dodwell, of the Pacific Asiatic steam
ship lines, and Hugh S. Wallace, vice
president of the Washington & Alaska
Steamship company, have organized
the Chilkoot Railroad & Transport com
pany, and today contracts were let for
the tramway, which is to be In opera
tion by Jan. 1. Construction has been
begun on the railroad, which will be
eight miles long and will connect with
a transport of eight and a half
miles in length. The line starts at
Dyea and runs to Greater lake, and will
be broad gauge. The tramway has a
capacity of 120 tons of freight daily,
and as the line will be completed by
January there will be no danger of
famine at Dawson this winter. The
saving in time to Klondike will be
about thirty days.
SEATTLE, Wash., Oct. 11.— Pat Gat
vin, who arrived here Saturday from
Dawson City, and who is recognized
as one of the bonanza kings of the
Klondike, where he has been engaged
in mining for the past three years, in
an interview today, reviewing the gold
regions of the North, estimating their
probable output, said: "There are 4GI
claims? which have been operated suf
ficiently to prove their richness. There
are 280 claims already staked out, but
not developed. Taking these claims and
figuring out their cubic contents and
making a conservative estimate, I do
not see why the output from these
claims alone will fall short of fifty
millions of dollars."

TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 12, 1897.
Stuyvesant Chandler, of New York.
Aid. John Reilly read a telegram from
the independent Irishmen of Boston,
Mass., which said: "We stand by Par
nell's policy, and urge the government,
to disgorge its plunder in the face of
the distress existing, and we send $100
as evidence of our good faith."
The reading of this message was fol
lowed by three cheers for the stars
and stripes.
Mr. Redmond, in a long speech, de
nounced the Liberals for abandoning
home rule, and declared that the only
hope of Ireland was in independent ac
tion, without any alliance with the
English parties, explaining that the
Dillonites wanted the "emaculation
system of federation, a sort of glorified
vestry, instead of a free parliament."
Continuing, Mr. Redmond said there
could be no reconciliation with the
Dillonites, unless the latter and their
Liberal allies reinstated home rule as j
the first plank in their platform, and
promised to appeal to the country, if
the house of lords defeated home rule.
Resolutions were adopted reaffirm
ing that the Irish question can only
be settled by the concession of nation
al self-government, and calling upon
all members of parliament, who, "for
the past few years have pursued a
mistaken policy," to "rejoin the inde
pendent party, unite upon the princi
ples of Charles Stewart Parnell, and
demand the release of the political
prisoners as an act of simple justice
and humanity."
Resolutions were also adopted urging
the Irish everywhere to commemorate
the centennary of 1795, denouncing the
government for repudiating the report
of the royal commission of the finan
cial relations between Great Britain
and Ireland; expressing regret at the
necessity of raising a Parnell family
fund, and calling upon Irishmen gen
erally to respond to the appeal, and
"'thereby remove from Ireland the
stigma of ingratitude for the priceless
services and devotion" of the late
Charles Stewart Parnell, and "calling
upon Messrs. Dillon, Davitt and Har
rington to pay out of the portion of
the Paris fund allotted for that pur
pose the £5,000 due to the Parnell es
tate." *
Mr. Chandler, who was called upon
to address the convention, made a
ringing speech, asserting that the
Irish would never achieve home rule
until they were united, and expressing
the opinion that they had not allied
themselves with the Tories or the Lib
erals, "because both the English gov
ernment and Englishmen are never
just, and never do a generous act un
less forced to do it by fear."
The proceedings of the convention
were finished this evening, and the
predictions made of a revolt against
the leadership of John Redmond
proved entirely unfounded. The dele
gates cheered him enthusiastically,
and, on the adjournment, they warmly
praised his speech, pronouncing it to
be a most able outline of the policy
of the Irish independent league.
LONDON, Oct. 11.— Timothy Healy,
anti-Parnellite member of parliament
for Northlouth, who has just returned
from a tour in Ireland, says, in the
course of an interview: "The potatoes
are generally bad, but the crops have
been saved where the farmers had the
sense or money to spray them. No
doubt there will be keen distress in
the southern and southwestern coun
ties during the coming v. incer and
spring. In some plasces it may ap
proach starvation." Mr. Healy admit
ted that there had been some exagger
ation of the difficulty, as he said the
fact that the landlords belittle the
stories of dearth makes the other side
more insistent, in order to get a hear
ing. He expressed the hope that the
recent improved weather had partial
ly relieved the situation.
given a perpetual injunction by the lower
court, restraining the defendant from adver
tising a certain stock of goods as bankrupt
stack, the court of appeals reverses the decree
and remands the case to the trial court with
instructions to dissolve and dismiss the bill.
"We cannot approve a practice," said Judge
Wilson, "nor subscribe to a doctrine which
permits the exercise by the courts of the
extraordinary power of injunctive relief for
every wrong or infringement upon the rights
of another. Such a course of proceedure,
if carried to its ultimate natural conclusion,
would tend to entirely subvert the funda
mental principles upon which our system cf
laws is founded."

NEW BEDFORD, Mass., Oct. 11.— A salute
fired at sunrise by the United States steam

favor of consolidation, said in an in
terview today that he considered that
outcome to be far from imprbable.

ROME, Oct. 11. — A large procession
of tradesmen, headed by the prosyndic
of Rome and the president of the cham
ber of commerce, marched to the office
of the minister of the interior this af
ternoon to protest against and confer
with the government regarding the in
creased taxation. Premier Rudini, who
Is also minister of the interior, receiv
ed a committee representing the trades
men and promised that all that was
possible would be done to promote
friendly relations and greater equity
between the tax collectors and tax
payers.
In the meanwhile a large crowd of
people had collected around the min
istry, and angry shouts were heard^
and some of those present tore up pav
ing stones and otherwise assumed a
threatening attitude. This caused tho
police to make an attempt to disperse
the violent portion^of the crowd, and
in the conflict which fottowed six*'po
licemen were injured and one rioter
was killed. The crowd raised revolu
tionary criea; while the fighting was In
progress revolvers were freely used:
many persons in the crowd were in
jured, and twenty of the leaders of the
disturbance were arrested. The con
dition of three of the wounded police
men is serious.
The streets have been quiet this
evening. A special detail of police is
patrolling the district that was the
scene of the distrubance. In all there
have been twenty-four arrests. The
rioter who was killed has not been
identified, but appears, to have been a
workman. The prefect of police has
ordered the dissolution of the Roman
Socialist iinion. Tomorrow, the pro
syndic of Rome and the president of the
chamber of commerce, who headed the
procession, will be received by the Mar
quis di Rudini, who will discuss the ap
plication of the income tax.
It is estimated that there were at
least -0,000 people in the procession

Nothing But Frost Likely to End the
Yellow Fever Epidemic.
NEW ORLEANS, La.', Oct. 11.— From
the returns there is little hope in the
yellow fever situation. . The board of
health is daily demonstrating that,
with a fair show, it is possible for mod
em science to restrict and stamp out
the disease. But the people who muse
suffer from a strict application of sci
entific methods rebel, the result being
that the pathway of the board of
health is beset with difficulties. If
there were strict compliance with the
laws, if prompt report were made of
cases, the fever germs would quickly,
be wiped out. But it begins to look
now as if from thirty to forty cases
and from four to six deaths would
daily be reported until Jack Frost puts
in an appearance. Today, as on near
ly every day since the fever first ap
peared here, about 50 per cent of the
fatalities were traceable to neglect and
a disposition to hide cases until it was
too late to do anything to save life.
The case of Robert Hite was reported
today. He had been ill some time.
People in the vicinity cf where he lived
knew he was ill. Yet no report was
made to the health authorities, and
the announcement cf the Hite case
was almost contemporaneous with his
death. Today's deaths were: Henry
Boorman, J. Arthur Ledrut, Gin
nechi, Robert Hite.
The most important feature of the
news as to the new cases was the fact
that four people were found to have
been stricken at the Jewish home, a
well known local charitable institu
tion. The officials of Touro infirmary
agreed to receive the cases, and they
were at once taken to that hospital,
which is largely supported by the He
brew population, though non-sectarian.
Two cases yere also- reported to have
developed* at the Hotel Dieu, another
private hospital. P-jth of these hos
pitals have heretofore -had cases, and
the physicians in charge have been suc
cessful in treating them. Another new
case has appeared in Algiers, on the
opposite side of the river. A major
ity of the new cases today presented
new fields of infection.
At Biloxi today ther* were 12 new
cases; at Edwards 5 cases and 2 deaths;
at Clinton no new cases in the city, no
deaths; 1 new case injthe country* seven
miles west of the eitj| and at Scranton

DROUGHT* BROKEN.
Rain Falling: Over a Wide Area in
the Parched Belt.
CHICAGO, Oct. 11.— Rain is falling
generally today throughout the parch
ed belt of the Western states, and the
long, disastrous drought has at last
been broken. Reports from Kansas,
Nebraska, lowa, Illinois, Missouri, Ar
kansas and Minnesota show quite gen
eral rains are still falling, with in
dications of continuing during the next
twenty-four hours. The rain in Ne
braska is the first of any consequence
that has fallen in that state for six
weeks, while Kansas is receiving her
first wetting for two months.
The drought just broken has for se
verity and wide area of country affect
ed never been equaled in the period
covered by authoritative record in this
country. Crops have suffered, fruit
has been blasted, fires have leaped up
as if from spontaneous combustion in
field and woodland, and every moment
of the time since the middle of August
has been crowded with danger to cit
ies. Farmers have been hauling water
for their stock— even buying the fluid
in many sections of the country. Many
small towns throughout the country
have suffered severely from fire. Con
servative estimates place the reduction
in acreage of winter wheat at 25 per
cent. Thousands of acres throughout
the affected district have not even
been ploughed, the ground being in
such a condition as to render farm
work next to impossible. To stock
raisers the rain is a Godsend. Pastures
which have been dried up for weeks
will be available once more. In many
localities it has been necessary to feed
stock for two and three weeks past.
Weather bureau officials said this
this afternoon that indications nointed
to a continuance of the rain-fall for
thirty-six hours more.
that escorted the deputation to the of
fices of the minister of the interior. The
authorities, it was evident, had failed
to make adequate provision for main
taining order in such a vast and
crowded assembly. The people were
irritated at being excluded from the
building by the carbineers and pres
ently a second detachment issued with
fixed bayonets and tried to clear the
piazza. The crowd then resisted, the
Stone-throwing began and the conflict
speedily became general until an in
fantry detachment appeared on the
scene and by repeated charges drove
the crowd into the adjoining streets,
the mob still showering stones. Some
of the soldiers became infuriated, fired
in the direction of the crowd and the
streets were only cleared after a severe
struggle, a second resort to firearms
becoming necessary to dislodge a par
ticularly determined group. It is be
lieved that nearly forty were more or
less severely injured. Hints are thrown
out in some quarters that the disorders
were fomented by agents — provocateurs

Placards were posted on all the walls
throughout the city this morning, in
viting all tradesmen to close their
shops, in the afternoon from 2 o'clock
to 4, in order to lend imposing charac
ter to the demonstration. The sugges
tion was almost universally adopted
and the result was a spectacle unpre- I

Emanuel, except that each closed door ;
bore, instead of the legend "closed for

ances are that this year the assess

GALVESTON, Tex., Oct. 11.— Dr. C.
W. Truhart, member of the advisory
committee of the board of health this
morning reported to the health author
ities that he had found a case of well
denned but very mild yellow fever.
The case is that of Lorenzo Solari, ship
chandler, Sixth street and Avenue A.
Dr. Truhart says the state health of
ficers are working on his case with
him and confirmed the diagnosis. Dr. |
Edward Randall this morning reported j
two eases in his practice which he j
pronounced yellow fever, those of i
G-ecrge D. Morgan, a bookkeeper at 810 :
Postoffice street, and Henry Stawl
intky. a plasterer, 3521 Broadway. Dr.
Truhart examined these cases and had
pronounced them suspicious. Morgan j
was very ill this morning, but Dr. Ran
dall pronounces him much better this
evening. Stawlinsky is convalescing. '
The original cases are getting along I
nicely and there has been no fatality, i
The infected houses are under quaran- j
tine guard and the city is being thor- :
oughly disinfected. No passenger !
trains are being run in or out of Gal- <
veston. Preparations have been made
for fumigating the mails and sending I
them out of the city to trains, and the |
postal authorities have been wired for i
confirmation. The Galveston, Hous
ton & Henderson, the Missouri & Texas \
and the International & Great North- f
em railroads made arrangements this j
afternoon to have their cars sent north
after being fumigated. Their lines are
still bringing frieght to Galveston and i
ships will be provided with cargoes, j
Cotton receipts today were about nor- !
mal. Dr. Guiteras went to Houston to
day, but returned to Galveston tonight.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Oct. 11.— The !
city council today passed a resolution
throwing open the doors of San An
tonio to yellow fever refugees from :
Galveston and other Texas cities and i
invited the citizens of those cities to
come here during the prevalence of yel
low fever at their homes. This resolu
tion is based on the fact that during
the past fifty years no yellow fever has
developed notwithstanding that many
refugees have came here from infected
points and died with the fever.
A case of suspicious fever was re
ported to the board of health here this
morning, and this afternoon the patient,
Harry Griffin, a laborer living at 1219
South Medina street, died. A post-mor
tem examination was held by order of
the board of health, and some symp
tom of yellow fever exist.

Is St. Paul to have another stock
yards and packing house industry?
There is a rumor, and it is partially
substantiated, that Armour & Co., that
large Chicago packing concern, has
made a deal for the purchase of 200
acres of land near St. Paul Park. This
story is affirmed by a St. Paul real
estate man, who speaks positively In
his knowledge thereof, and whose well
known conservatism adds additional
weight to the assertion. He also adds
that it is understood by him that Ar
mour & Co. will improve the property
by erecting a large packing house
thereon.
St. Paul Park is a suburb situated
on the Mississippi river nine miles
south of St. Paul. It is located on the
Burlington railroad, and is also con
nected by the Belt Line railway with
other lines, and this also affords direct
communication with the Union stock
yards and packing house industries at
South St. Paul, which is on the oppo
site side of the river and four miles
nearer this city. The location would
apparently be an admirable one for the
purpose contemplated.
Gen. Mark D. Flower, president of
the Union stockyards, when interview
ed by a G 1 o b c reporter, expressed his
disbelief in the rumor, although stat
ing that some such enterprise might
be contemplated by the Armours, but
he thought it hardly probable. The

A Defeat in New York May Mean No More
Republican Presidents.
NEW YORK, Oct. 11.— Gen. Ben
jamin F. Tracy, former secretary of
the navy, and candidate for the office
of mayor of Greater New York, was
the leading orator at the first Repub
lican mass meeting held in Brooklyn at
the Academy of Music on Montague
street tonight. There was a large at
tendance. Gen. Tracy, as he rose to
deliver his address, was the recipient
of applause which lasted several min
utes. Gen. Tracy referred to Tammany
hall and Bryanism as the chief oppos
ing forces of the Republicans in this
campaign. He referred to Henry
George as a candidate upon the plat
form of Bryanism. "There is still an
other party which has made its ap
poarance as a separate and indepen
dent party," he added, "the party
known as the Citizens' Union, of which
one Low is the leader." Gen. Tracy
devoted much of his time to a discus
sion of the Citizens' Union, and among
other things said: "The meaning of
the success of the Citizens' Union here
is the destruction of the Republican
party. If Mr. Low is elected, of course,
all the influence of that great office
will be used to insist upon a citizens'

Change in the Tammany New
York Ticket Possible.
NEW YORK, Oct. 11.— The Journal
and Advertiser says: Nathan Strauss
and Richard Croker have held a con
ference at Great Barrington, Mass.,
with JtfQge William Gaynor, of Brook
lyn, and Col. William L. Brown. Out
of this conference it is declared there
will come a readjustment of the Demo
cratic city ticket with Judge Gaynor's
name In the place of Robert A. Van
Wyck's as the candidate of the party
for mayor. It is known that Mr. Strauss
and Mr. Croker went to Great Barring
ton to urge Judge Gaynor's acceptance
of the office. He will be the candidate
if he accepts. Mr. Strauss was select
ed as the spokesman of Greater New-
York Democracy, on account of his
close relation with the conservative
business interests of the city, which
Judge Gaynor believed earlier in the
campaign were adverse to his candidacy
for the office of mayor. Mr. Strauss
was empowered by the Democratic pro
visional committee to say to Judge
Gaynor that his prospective selection
for" mayor at this time had been sub
mitted to the business men of the city,
and approved by them, and that the
Democratic organization would support
him unitedly if he accepted. These
representations were made to Judge
Gaynor at the summer home of Mr.
Strauss/ and the men discussed the
matter at length, during a drive to
Lenox. Judge Gaynor was disinclined
to accept a place on the ticket on ac
count of his friendly relations with
Henry George, the independent laboi
candidate. Judge Gaynor said to
Messrs. Strauss and Croker that Henry
George, before accepting the independ
ent nomination for mayor.had told him
that he would not run if Judge Gaynor
was a candidate. With this courtesy
in mind. Judge Gaynor hesitated to
give his consent. He has the matter
still under consideration.

he did not think the stock men would
favor two such institutions. Mr. Fiow

owned a large tract of land, over 100
acres, at St. Paul Park for the past
eight years.
Incidentally Mr. Flower mentioned
that the stockyards company was ne
gotiating with three large packing
houses— among the largest in the coun
