11110]le DUBLIN.

llr. Dillon the Object of Their Bois-
terous Displeasure.

PomoE FORCE NECESSARY.

The Irish Leader Obliged to Seek Refuge.
Exciting Time at the Third Day’s
Session of the Convention—Pro-
ceedings In Detail.

DUBLIN, Sept. 4. —-With the Right Rev.
Patrick O’Donnell in the chair, the third
day’s session of the Irish national conven-
tion was opened.

With all due ccnsi eration for the Ob-
jects of this as'sembl e of representatives
of Irishmep from all parts of the world,
and admitting the praiseworthy senti-
ments animating the great majority of
the delegates, it cannot be said that the
contentionup to the present has been a
success. The end which it was hoped to
obtain was the union df all the warring
factionsin the Irish parliamentaryparty
and out of it, and it cannot be denied that
when the delegates assembled this morn-
ing they Were as far from deciding upon
any plan for attaining'unity as they were
when the calling of the conqention was
first decided upon. 3

Thisghowever, is far from being the un-
expected. Previous to the gathering of the
Irish leaders here a representative of the
press interviewed a number of them. Mr.

. John Dillon Said in part:

_“I‘ do not expect miracles from the con—
vention, but I do see the strongest ground
for hope that it will provide a' basis of re-
union. ” .He added, “It will afford an op—
portunity to all Irish nationalists who are
disgusted with the contentions of the last
few years to make their voices heard.”

O‘Brien’s Views.

0n the other hand, Mr. Patrick O’Brien,
M. P., remarked:

. ,.‘.‘ The convention won’t come to any-
thing. Dillon won’t get the support of the
bishops and clergy that he anticipated.
They killed Parnell, but they are not up-
holding Dillon. The convention is only
a flash in the pan. The Object is, of course,
to raise funds. There is nothing in it.”

These views may be said to represent
the opinions 43f the two leading factions,
the Dillonites and Healyites. The former
charge the latter with unwarranted Ob-
struction; the Healyites charge the Dil-
lonites with packing the convention and
assert that it is not a true convention of
the Irish race. ’

The session today opened with a dra-
matic scene. Dean Harris of Toronto was
recognised by the chair, and he immedi-
ately commenced a heated attack upon the
Dublin newspapers, asserting indignantly
that they had “foully insulted” one of the
delegates from Ottawa, Mr. Heaney, in
charging that .he was “a companion and
consort of the'spy Le Caron.”

. in a moment the air resounded with
yells of “Cowards!” “Traitors,” etc., and
much tumult followed.

When order was somewhat restored, Dean
Harris described Mr. Heaney’s career in
Canada, asserting that it was a most hoa-
Orable one. and finally called upon the Of-
fended'Ottayva'd'elegate to stand up. Mr.
Heaney did so and made a telling speech,
duri which he hotly repudiated the

g c made against him by the Dublin
press. At the conclusion of his remarks
Mr. Heaney was loudly cheered and was
Warmly congratulated by a number of his
friends. '

The Paris Funds.

The regular business Of the day was’

then commenced. A resolution requesting
information as to the disposition of the so
called “Paris funds,” over which there
has been so much bitter controversy and
legal complications for years past, was
withdrawn, ‘

The Irish funds in Paris, amounting to
£40, 000 ($200,000), were, after a long liti-
gation following the death of Charles
Stewart Parnell, handed over to Mr. J us-
tin McCarthy, M. P., the then chairman
of the Irish parliamentary party, and it
was said that £10,000 ($50,000) of this

. amount was handed over to Mr. John Red-
m nd, M. P., leader of the Parnellite
bunch of the Irish parliamentary party,
with which to pay heavy debts incurred
after Mr. Parnell’s demise, the balance to
be used in the propagation of the Parnel-
lite principles in Ireland. ,

The McCarthyites, it was understood,
were pledged to devote their share of the
funds, £30,000 ($150,000), to the relief of
the evicted tenants, who were championed
by Mr. Redmond.

The delegates, after disposing of the re-
quest for information regarding the dis—
position of the Paris funds, resumed the
discussion of the home rule resolution
offered by Mr. John Dillon, which was in
order when the convention adjourned yes-
terday. _

Mr. John Dillon moved the usual home
rule resolution and incidentally called
upon the “men whose names were the
shibboleth of factions” to meet in the an-
tumn, abdicate as leaders and “choose a
new leader to whom all can give unbroken
support.”

Liberals Attacked.

Canon McCartin argued that the leaders
of the Liberal party were not the friends
of Ireland, and, continuing in this strain,
the speaker was frequently interrupted by
hostile demonstrations, such as ironicai
cries, booting and yelling. Eventually the
canon was so severe in his denunciation of
the Liberals and the uproar became so
great that he was called to order by the
chairman and finally sat down, much dis-
gruntled. _ '

Mr. Costigan of Ottawa followed and
spoke hopefully of the results which would
be attained by the convention.

The delegate from\0ttawa was succeed-
ed by Mr. Fitzgerald of London, who con-
tended, amid loud interruptionsfrom the
galleries, that the “time has arrived to
make English government of Ireland im-
possible.”

Mr. P. J. Ryan of New York was next
in order. 4 He began by strongly repudiat-
ing the assertion, attributed to the Par-
nellite press, that the American delegates
were nothing more than a“lot of tramps.”
In so doing Mr. Ryan explained in detail
the position and qualities of the American
delegates, asserting that they were repre-
sentative citizens and well worthy of rep-
rehentlng the Irishman of the United
States.

Almost a. Blot.

Following the close of the convention
there was almost a riot in Sackville street,
and Mr. John Dillon and a number of his
friends were compelled to seek refuge in

E. mperial hotel.

*‘ ., ’ ‘ r leaving Leinster hall, Mr. Dillon,
Escorted by 50 or 60 members, of the con-
vention, walked up Sackville street, which
was densely crowded. The delegates were

followed by a noisy mob of about 11,000
Dublin roughs, who had configured

Avdertise in the (1mm.

K.‘ M'

about the hall, and who were evidently
not in sympathy with the Dillonites. The
leader’s of the mob kept shouting “To
h— with Dillon 1” etc., and stones and
other missiles hsgan flying through the air.
To these criei the Dillonites replied by
singing “God. Save Ireland," increasing
the riotous demonstration and largely add-
ing to the number of the mob following
them up Sackville street. ,

The police on duty were not able to cope
with the roughs, and re—enforcements had
to be hurried to the scene. The police
soon turned into Sackville street in strong
numbers and were just in time to stop
what was beyond doubt a growing riot,
which might have had most serious conse-
quences, for there were threats of lynch-
ing, thrashing and ducking Dillon, caus-
ing him and his party to hurriedly take
refuge in the Imperial hotel, which was
afterward surrounded by a strong force of
police, which‘kept the rioters at bay.

CLOSED ,BY THE SHERIFF.

Failure of the Knowles Woolen Mills,
Near New Castle, Del.

WILMINGTON, Del., Sept. 4.—James G.
Knowles, proprietor of the Knowles Woolen
mills, situated on the Delaware railroad
not far from the station at New Castle,
confessed Judgment for $50,000, and upon
the judgments the sherifl issued the levy.
The confessions areasfollows: William G.
Knowles, assignee, of Philadelphia,$8, 000;
James E. Mitchell & Co. of Philadelphia,
$27,550. 69; William G. Knowles, in his
own personal capacity, $10,024. The Ninth
National bank of Philadelphia brought
about the present crisis. The Knowles
mills is one of the largest industrial insti-
tutions in Delaware and has been in opera-
tion for 23 years. It furnished employ-
ment to several hundred men, women and
boys of New Castle, and until a few
months ago, when Mr. Knowles announc-
ed a partial suspension of operations, it
seemed to do a flourishing business. In
an interview Mr. Knowles said: “My fail-
ure is due absolutely and exclusively to
the hard times. I couldn’t get a market
for my goods, I couldn’t collect my out-
standing bills, and my business has dwin-
dled down to nothing.”

THE MOORBS GET OUT.

Resignation of Their Positions In the Dia-
mond Match Company.

CHICAGO, Sept. 4.—W.~H. and J .H. Moore
resigned their positions with the Diamond
Match company. The resignations were
handed to George M. Pullman, one of the
largest carriers of Diamond Match stock.
W. H. Moore was first vice president and
director. J. H. Moore was not a director,
but was second vice president of the com-
pany. While the retirement of the brothers.
makes but one vacancy in the Diamond
Match directory, it- is probable that two
other resignations will be received. Ac-
cording tO the way matters are drifting,
Director J. K. Robinson of Chicago and
Director C. A. Hopkins of St. Louis may
retire. It is not improbable that Mr. Bob-
inson .will be re-elected treasurer of the
company, a' position which he now holds.

Two New District Judges._

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.—Tlie president
has appointed Charles F. Amidon of North-
Dakota to be United States district judge
for the district of North Dakota and John
E. Garland of South Dakota to be United
States district judge for the district of
South Dakota.

Disgraced French Officer Escapes on

THE DEVOTION OF HIS WIPE.

History of the Alleged Crime For Which
Dreyfus Suffered and of Which litany '
Persona Believe He Was Not
Fairly Convicted.

‘

LONDON, Sept. 4.—Captain Hunter of
the British steamship N onpareil, which
has arrived at Newport, Monmouthshire,
from Cayenne, French Guiana, reports
that Captain Albert Dreyfus, formerly of
the French army and attached to the min-
istry for war, who was sentenced, to be
publicly degraded and confined for life in
a fortress after having been convicted by
a court martial of selling plans-of French
fortifications, mobilization schemes, etc.,
to aforeign government, has escaped from
the Isle du Grand Saint, where he was
taken after leaving the Isle do He, off the
French coast.

In an interview Captain Hunter is quot-
ed as saying that Dreyfus escaped on board?
an American schooner and with the help
of his wife, formerly a Mile. Hadamard
and the daughter of wealthy parents.

Mme. Dreyfus, at the urgent reducst of
the prisoner, received permission from the
French government to join her husband at
his place of imprisonment and in due
course of time arrived at Cayenne well
supplied with funds. The mystery Of the
actual offense of Captain Dreyfus, who

CAPTAIN ALBERT DREYFUS. I

was a distinguished artillery ofiicer and
attached to the general staff, -has never
been fully cleared up, so far as the general
public is concerned, and the strongest pos-
sible influence upon the part of one or
more foreign governments was used to
save the convicted man from being execut-.
ed and later toprevail upon the French
government to allow his wife to join him
in French Guiana.
The Supposed Instigators.‘

Suspicion pointed to the German em-
bassy at P‘ rlin as having been the source
from which Captain Dreyfus‘vVas prompt-
ed to dlvnlge important plans Of“ the
French military authorities to people‘ who‘,
above all,,should have been kept ignorant
of them, and the name of a notorious Ital-
ian spy was also connected with the pris-
oner’s name.
this subject between Berlin and Paris

were so strained that the German cmbas- .0

sador was upon the point of leaving the
French capital, and an indignant denial of
the charges made against this ofiicial,
Count von Munster, was sent out from
Berlin. Later a guarded denial of» the
charges'was made in the French chamber
of deputies by the minister for war, but
the newspapers of Paris reiterated the
charges and called forth further and very
heated denials from the press of Berlin.

Captain Dreyfus was arrested in Octo-
ber, 1894, was tried by‘court martial and
was sentenced to be publicly degraded and
confined in a fortress for life, His formal
degradation took place on Jan. 5, 1895, on
the parade ground of the military school
and in the presence of 5,000 troops. His
sword was broken, his buttons and insig-
nia of rank were cut OE, and he was com-
pelled to go through what is known as
the “execution parade,” being marched,
with drums beating, along the four sides
of the square composed of the soldiers de-
tailed to witness his punishment.

Foul Conspiracy Alleged.

He was cursed as a traitor, but always
maintained his innocence and claimed that
it would eventually be proved, 'a belief
which was shared by a number of people
at. the time, it being claimed that he had
been made the victimOf a foul conspiracy.

Mme. Dreyfus was always a firm believ-
er in the innocence of her husband, and
when she reached Cayenne the French au-
thorities there ofiered her the use of a steam
launch to take her to the Grand Saiut is-
land, where'her husband’s prison was sit-
uated, but she declined, saying that she
wished to become accustomed to the cli-
mate before going to the island. There-
upon e steam launch left Cayenne.

According to Captain Hunter, Mme.
Dreyfus must have lost no time in perfect-
ing plans for her husband’s escape, or else
she must have had assistance from persons
who had reached . Cayenne some time be-
fore her,lfor the same night, he says, an
American schooner, with Mme. Dreyfus
on board, appeared 03 Grand Salut island,
sent a boat ashore and brought ofinofit only
the prisoner, but several of the-men who
had been detailed to guard him, apparent-
ly proving conclusively that everything
was arranged for the escape of Captain
Dreyfus before his wife reached Cayenne.

Continuing, Captain Hunter said that
the schooner then left the coast, heading
in a northerly direction, and it is believed
that Captain Dreyfus and his faithful wife
eventually reached the United States.
