Thursday's session of the Irish “new movement” at Chicago was generally regarded as the most important of all. The principal business on the program was the consideration of the platform, snbmitted by the committee on resolu tions and the report of the committee . on ways and means for national organ- 1 ization. Birth was given to an organization which has for its object the independ ence of Ireland as a republic by a pol icy of physical force. The ashes of the Fenian Brotherhood are rekindled; the National League, with its trust in legislatures and its reliance upon par liaments and enactments, is buried from sight; and in its place rises the Irish National Alliance of the world. Incidentally, too, the Irish parliament party across the Atlantic is repudiated and henceforward will be deprived of the abundant revenues that have been contributed from this country for its i maintenance and support. “The new movement of the organ ization shall be known by the style I and title of the Irish National Alliance. It shall have for its object the secur- I ing the independence of Ireland by any means within its power consistent with the laws and usages of civilized nations. The Platform Adopted. The report of the committee on platform and resolutions was presented by O’Neill Ryan, of St. Louis, and was unanimously adopted amid great cheering. It read thus: “The people of Ireland are a sover eign people. Ireland is by nature sep arate from every other country, and liberty is the birthright of her people. Ireland was known throughout Europe ns a nation long before the dawn of Christianity and was the home of civ ilization, while England was still bar barous. “England’s claims to authority in Ireland originated in force and have been maintained by corruption and coercion; they Lave never ripened into a right to rule} the title to the con quest has never been perfected inas much as the Irish people have contin ually, by constitutional agitation or revolutionary movement, resisted Eng land’s power and endeavored to de stroy her unlawful supremacy. “Ireland is deprived of almost every civil right tthieh the American people most dearly cheerish. tJneiampled cruelty and brutal vindictiveness have been the distinguishing features of England’s rule in Ireland. England has destroved Ireland’s industries and 4/ ruined her commerce; she has placed upon her statute books laws making it a crime to educate an Irish child; she burned Ireland's schoolhouses and de stroyed her churches; she has driven in to exile, or left to perish in her dungeons thousands of men whose only crime was love of Ireland. Every measure for the- last century looking toward legislative independence of the Irisb people has either suflered defeat in the commons or been arbitrarily rejected by the lords. England has violated every treaty and broken every pledge and with almost every year of the cen tury she has imposed upon Ireland brutal laws of coercion and one of the most drastic character is now upon her statute books. “One of the pleas of the people for justice and their prayers for mercy, England has responded to with the scourge and the scaffold, and yet today, Ireland enthralled but not enslaved, crushed but not couqured, is in spirit a nation. “It has become evident after many years of earnest endeavor to obtain a measure of independence from the En glish government, by peaceful ag itation, that appeals to reason for justice are futile. It is left, there fore, for the men of the Irish race to proclaim again the truth recorded by all histories that the liberties of a people and the independence of a na tion cannot be achieved by debate, but must be won upon the field of battle, and we declare our belief that the meu of Ireland who are being driven into exile, or into the graves of serfs in their native land by English misgov- ernment are entitled by the laws of God and man to use every means in their power to drive from their country the tyrant and usurper, and we believe that Ireland has the right to make England’s difficulty her opportunity and to use all possible meaus to create that difficulty. “In view of these facts, the mem bers of this convention appeal with confidence to their American fellow cit izens and all lovers of liberty to co-op erate with them in aiding the people of Ireland in the achievement of the same mtasure of liberty enjoyed io these United States. “Resolved, That we earnestly pro test against the continued incarcera tion iu English prisons of Irish patri ots. That we consider it inhuman and against the policy of all civilized na tions to keep iu prison men who have acted only in the interest of their country, and human liberty; and that the release of these men is imperative ly demanded, not only by the Irish people, but by civilization. “Resolved, That this convention ex presses the hope that the people of Cuba, who are struggling for political independence and the establishment of a republic, will be successful, and that wo extend to them our heartfelt sympathy. “Resolved, That this conveution, recognizing the importance to the Irish nation of preserving the lan guage, literature and music of the people, commends the work now be ing done by the Gaelic League, and the National Literary Society in Ire land, and by the Gaelic societies of this country," and earnestly trust our people will give them hearty oo-opera- tion aud generous support. “Resolved, That this convention recommend the formation of military companies wherever practicable in or der Jfco foster and preserve the military of the Irish race, and to be prepared for action in tb® hour of England’s difficulty. Officers Elected. Nominations for officers and the ex ecutive council were next in order. Chairman Finnerty declined to be considered as a candidate for presi- nent and William Lyman, of New York, at one time treasurer of the Irish National League, was nominat ed and elected by acclamation. O’Neill Ryan, of St. Louis was selected as vice president and State Senator P. V. Fitzpatrick, of Chicago, as treasurer. The executive council was constituted as follows: J. J. Donovan, Massa chusetts; Chris Gallagher, Minnesota; Martin Kelley, Tennessee; Captain Mangan, Wisconsin; J. Sheeby, Cali fornia ;J.M. Kennedy, Montana;!. J. Dunden, Ohio;J. S. Lawler, Texiu; Thomas H. Greevy, Pennsylvania. When the officers-elect were intro duced, President Lyman promised that he would start the “work” forth with, and Vice President Ryan de clared that before many months the organization would be planted in the heart of London itself. Then the del egates rose to their feet and sang “My Country, ’Tisof Thee” and “God Save Ireland.” At 6 o’clock p. m. the con vention adjourned sine die. WANT THEIR BEER. Open Sunday New Yorker* Have a Big Parade. Fully 20,000 of New York citizens, who proclaim themselves lovers of liberty and against the enforcement of excise laws on Sunday, joined in a parade Wednesday evening with brass bands and American flags, and with floats showing liberty in mourning, and a workman in the hands of the police for drinking beer on Sunday, while the millionaire tipples in his club. The platform was crowded with leaders of the’ liberal Sunday law movement, including Dr. Anderson, president of the German-American Reform Union ; Excise commissioner Harburger, James P. Keating and a score or more of breweis. The head o f the procession passed the reviewing stand and Commissioner Roosevelt stood with bread and re viewed the paraders. He received a hearty reception and was almost in stantly recognized by the men in the line. He was frequently applauded. A number of banners carried by the paraders made caustic allusions to him and he laughed heartily at them. Some of the devices on the banners read: “We don't drink strong tea;” “Home rule for New York;” “We prize personal liberty;” “Away with hypocricy and reform;” “Roosevelt- ism is a farce and a humbug.” At the end of the lino of inarch the paraders adjourned toSulzer’s Harlem river park, where they listened to speeches in favor of more liberal Sun day laws. The demonstration was under the supervision of tbe United Societies for Sunday laws. Early in last July the board of directors of the United Soci eties met and selected September 25th as the day when they would hold a great outdoor demonstration to show New York how many people want more liberty on Sunday. THEIR DOORS OPENED To Union Men, but They Will Not Sign the Amalgamated Scale. The mill of the Oliver Iron and Steel Company at Pittsburg, Pa., is declared open to union men. This action, which is satisfactory, to the company and the men, has been taken by the Amalga mated Association lodge at that mill. When D. B. Oliver refused to recog nize the Amalgamated Association or to sign its scale a strike was declared. The mill has been successfully operat ed, however, and without union rules. During the past year a lodge was formed in the mill without objection from the company. jMany urgent re quests have been made io the national officers to declare the mill open so that union men could go to work. Union wages have been paid by the company which has not, and likely will not, sign the amalgamated wage scale. Many former employes will now re turn, but no skilled worker will be re moved to make place for the men who have been on a strike for two years. FIGHT LICENSE REFUSED. Steps Being Taken to Learn W T hat the Law Really is In Texas. Application has been made to Comp troller Finley by the tax collectors of McLennan and Hayes counties, Texas, for prize fight licenses, which were promptly refused by tbe comptroller at the instance of the attorney general, who in a written opinion still contends that Judge Hurt’s opinion, delivered at Dallas recently nullifying the anti prize fight law, is not binding, and holds that Judge Hurt’s opinion is iu error in that it is impossible for two conflicting opinions of a statute in parti materia enacted at different times to be in force at one and the same time,therefore Judge Hurt’s reference to two statutes in force at the same time, though conflicting, is not sup ported by any logical reason. GOV. WOODBURY EXPLAINS. Says Ho Was Misquoted in His Chat tanooga Speech. Governor Urban A. Woodbury, of Vermont, whose speech at Chattanooga as reported by several special corres pondents has caused so much comment says tho paragraph in question was misquoted. According to the governor it should have read : “There is not in my section of country the least bitter or unkind feeling toward the people of the south. We are willing to believe that you thought you were right at the time, hut we cannot do otherwise than teach our children that you wert wrong. ” ENGLISH CONSUL INSULTED. f THE ATLANTA EXPOSITION. nOTTTHiEJS OIF 1 fSOMJEJ OiB* TJdLJbJ Opening Day, September 18th.

Aa Insulting Letter to the (< Actlna Secretary of War.” Major Armes was arretted at Wash ington Friday and confined in the bar racks. Tbe order for his arrest was signed by Assistant Adjntaut General Vincent, “by order of the acting sec retary of war.” Lieutenant General John M. Schofield was the acting sec retary of war. Merely as command ing officer of tho army he would not have authority to order the arrest. There has been a personal quarrel of twenty-five years’ standing between General Schofield and Major Armes. General Schofield retires on Sunday, the 29th, and Friday was tbe last but one on which ho could exercise any aulhoiity whatever over Major Armes. Smarting under injustice which, as he professes to be the victim, General Schofield had done him, Major Armes visited the war department during the day unaware of the fact that General 1 Schofield was acting secretary of war, and requested an interview with Gen eral Schofield, which was refused. He then sent a letter to General Schofield reading in part as follows: “General John M. Schofield,United States Army—Sir: Before you are re tired from active duty I thought I would call your attention to the in justice, wrongs and persecutions you have inflicted upon me during the years 1868-70 and up to tho present time. As to my knowledge, I have given you no cause. I would like to have an explanation as to your grounds for making my life a hell aud trying to ruin me in the way you have. “The indorsement upon the charges I preferred against Lieutenant Colonel A. D. Nelson in 1870, denouncing me as a worthless character, etc., was the first attack upon me. In addition to ignoring and failing to investigate the serious charges which I then submitted, because I considered it my duty to do so, the next wrong was to select a few characters from the army, called in a court and approve of their sentence of dismissal, you, as judge, having select ed tho jury. You sustained Colonel Nelson in not bringing Captain Graham to trial, and after I was dis missed for these charges Colonel Nel son found that Graham would have to be tried because of the great pressure of all the officers aud others at Camp Supply, I. T. Nelson, to save himself, recommended Graham’s trial upon the charges that I had snbmitted long be fore I was unjustly dismissed, and he was not only cashiered, bnt sentenced to the penitentiary for a term of years. “After my retirement you caused another court to be selected and tried to ruin and disgrace me. You also is sued an order, and I was published as a person whose sanity was questioned, but after the mischief was done you stopped the investigation without any request upon my part that you should do so. “Lately, I am informed, you have secured the marks to affidavits of a few negroes who cannot read and write, and telling a lot of falsehoods and stuff that has a tendency to injure me . with those who would be influenced by what you say or do on account of your position. “I am a gentleman and have always conducted myself as such. I have done my duty as a military man, as the true records will prove, and any charges that are on file tending to re flect discredit upon me are instigated by personal enmity or unfounded ma lice and are unworthy of belief. Com mon justice on the part of a superior officer, the manly instincts of a gen tleman when shown that he is mis taken, should cause you to apologize and show a disposition to amend the wrongs, as far as possible, which you have so many years heaped upon me. “Respectfully, etc., “George A. Armes.” Major Armes was sitting in his par lor after dinner when Lieutenant Com ings, accompanied by Second Lieu tenant Gordon Heiner, appeared in the doorway with a file of soldiers and read the order of arrest. Major Armes attempted to resist arrest, bnt finally requested a few minutes to prepare himself, and then accompanied the officers to the arsenal in an ambu lance which had been prpvided. Speaking of the matter to A reporter, General Schofield said: WHY HAAS RESIGNED. His Jurisdiction was Interfered With by Finley’s Election. Mr. Sol. Haas, traffic manager of the Southern Railway, has resigned from his position. It is supposed that the reason which lead to the resigna tion was that Mr. Haas was deprived of a large part of his jurisdiction when Mr. W. W. Finley, who was commis sioner of the Southern States Passen ger Association, was elected third vice- president of the Southern Railway. Mr. Finley was given charge of the traffic service which Mr. Haas has had under his control. Advancing Wages Voluntarily. The coke workers’ convention, held at Scottdale, Pa.,WedncsdayrptfBsed » resolution stating that the operators bad promised an advance in wages when the price of coke advanced call ing on all men on strike to return un til October 10th. The labor officials expect that by that date the price of coke will be advanced. Notices have been posted at tho Charlotte furuaos giving the ten-hour men a voluntary advance in wages of 10 per cent. Tho advance will date from September 16th. Miner* Refused to Come Out. The miners’ union at Ishpeming, Mich., ordered the pump men, fire men and other union employes en gaged at section 24 mine of the Lake Superior company to come out, but the men say the order is a ridiculous one and stick to their post*. A Town Burned Out. The town of Big Stone Gap,Va., eix- ty-five miles from Bristol, Tenn., was almost totally destroyed by fire short ly after midnight Friday night. The loss will be about 830,000, while the iniurince is only about $6,000. Th« K At* or if inat*d in th« Valley hotel.
