BELMQNT , MADE CHAIRMAN • Up Declares That the Party in New York has Always Been For “Sound Money”»«C»n tests for 35 Seats Held by the New York Delegation—All the Leaders Absent From the Convention Except Gov. Flower—Senator Hilt Besieged by Candidates. Syracuse, N. Y., Sept. 9 4 Cool, bracing weather and bright skies greet ed the members and boomers of the Democratic State Convention when they arose this morning. Nearly everybody was astir early, for the announcement that there would be a meeting of the State Committee, at which the New York contests would be decided, kept the interest in addition to the lively canvass for offices being made by the candidates for position on the State ticket. There was no abatement in activity in this latter direction, and, instead of ds creasing, the number of candidates seem ed to increase. Senator Hill’s room and the rooms of theS f ateComrcittee seemed to be the general Mecca, and the ii flu ence of the leaders was sought by the friends of the candidates to help their .quest. All the morning emissaries came and went, but no hints of a slate were thrown out. At 10 o’clock the principal interest centered about the Yates House, where the State committee met. The session just lasted just six minuses by the watch, and the only business transacted was the adoption ’of a resolution that the committee recommended to increase the State committee to fifty members. The resolutions provide that there 3hall be one State committee from each Senatorial district, making fifty in all, instead of .thirty four, as now. At precisely 13:25 Chairman Hinckley of the State Committee, called the con ventiou to order. Chairman Hinckley ann'cr c'd that he was directed by the Sta e ( mmittee to ant ounce that both sets of del gates from Kfng’c c >utUv should be placed on the rolls T&e chairman anuon: c:d that the State Committee had selected for tem porary chairman Mr. Perry Belmont, of New York, and appointed Mr. Daniel Lockwood, of Biffalo, and George Fos ter Peabody, of King’* county, temporary secretaries. When Mr. Belmont took the platform he was greeted with ap plause, and when it subsided he began his remarks. Mr. Belmont said, in part: “The selec tion o' your presiding officer is an act of partiality. I am sensasible of your kindness, and, accepting most gratefully the honor you have done me, I ask j'our indulgence in the performance of my duties. ” Mr Bel nont then went on to speak of the conditions this year as compared with those of last year, saying that the politi cal skies were much brighter this fall. He paid a compliment to Senator Hill, saying: “The swift changes of party power in this State encourage us not to be without hope, notwithstanding recent adverse events.” On financial questions Mr. Belmont declared that tbe New York Democracy has always been for “sound money.” He said the greenbacks caase the driving out of our gold. Mr. Belmont finished speaking, amid much applause, at 1:24, and the secretary began the reading of the temporary roll call. Contrary to expectations, when the New York district was reached there was no public notice of a contest until the clerk had read the entire Tammany del egation. During the reading the Tam many men looked at each other as if amazed at the lack ot contest, but the amazement was ended when ex Secre tary Charles Fairchild arose and said: “I present the contest for thirty five seats held by the New York delegation, just read.” There was a burst of applause that lasted for some minutes, and then the chairman fikid: “Referred to the com mittee on contested seats, when ap pointed.” After notice of several minor contests and the adoption of the usual resolutions with reference to committees, the con vention, at 1:50 p. m , took a recess un til 10 o’clock to morrow. Few of the practical politicians in the city will adm't ever having seen such a seething pot of discontent as that brewed within trfe few hours that inter vened between the hour of reoess of the convention and the meeting of the vari ous committees Up to the hour of con vening it was supposed that the plan of representation adopted by the King’s oounty people was the plan favored by the leaders and would be adopted inthe case of the New York contest. But men with Tammany badges were sowing discon tent and the result was that when the convention adjourned there was no cer tainty that there would be any ac oeptance of the plan. At tbe head and front of the revolt against the plan favored by Senator Hill ami ex Gov. Flower were Senator Mur phy, ex Police Commissioner Martin, ex ienator Gray, ex Mayor Gilroy and ex Lieutenant Governor Sheehan. Senator Murphy said: “Senator Hill and those who favor the adinkdon of ihes« people are greatly in the wrong. The proper place for them to show their strength aud fight their battles was in the primary. The} were invited to take part. They declin’ed. They, therefore, have no standing here.” Police Commissioner Martiu had a talk with ex Governor Flower this afternoon, and some very hot words passed. Fiower was in favor of harmony at any cost, and Martin was just as sure that the State Democracy people should not be treated with, as th?y did not come regularly as contest ants. The two leaders disagreed so badly that they lost their tempers aud left each other without coming to a set tlement. Martin at once called a meet ing of the Tammany Committee. He presided himself and, upon motion, ap pointed a committee to appear before the committee on contested seats and argue against any representation for the State Democracy. One of the significant features of the day was the absence from the conven tion of every leader except Roswell P. Flower. Another of the features of the day was the cutting by Mr. Belmont of that part of his speech denouncing third term presidential aspirations. Some of the Tammanyites who had prepared to re ceive this part of the speech with ap plause were disappointed. Relating to the matter this evening, Mr. Belmont said to the Associated Press correspon dent: “My speech, in general, pointed to that idea, but I did not deem it wise to make any great move in criticising the admin istration’s attitude in that direction. Personally, however, I am willing to be quoted as against a third term.” The Committee on Credentials gave a hearing to the contesting delegations to night. The sitting delegates from Queen’s county were declared to be entitled to their seats, and then the committee took up the State Democracy contest. Charles N. Faireh 1 i spoke for the contestants. He said it was a question of a proper distribution of party sentiment. It must be decided whether the principles rt pres ated by him were worthy of con sideration as against those of a machine. Ex Senator Thom is F. Grady made a speech for Tammany against admitting tho contestants and was warmly ap p'auded The hearing was then declared closed and the committee went into executive session. At the meeting of R s)l ot ion's Comm tree to night a num ber of excise resolutions were submitted, all calling for nnre liberal Suuday laws. Tbe Credentials Committee later adopted a r-solution making the repre sontation four fifths of a vote so • Tam tn ’tjy at ’• on.: fifth for the State Democ racy' Tne resolutions declare Tammany to be the regular organization, but ac cords recognition to the contestants in the interest of harmony.

SONS OF ERIN MEET GREAT NATIONAL CONVENTION OF THE IRISH SOCIETIES CONVENES. FOR IRELANDS INDEPENDENCE Stern Earnestness Marked the Inaugu ration ofthe “New Movement” ot the Race in Behalf ot Their Motherland- The First Assemblage of the Kind in America--Every State in the Union Represented, Also Canada and Aus tralia—Hearty Welcome to Rossa. Chicago, Sept 24.—Stern earnestness marked to-day’s inauguration of the “new movement” for Ireland’s inde pendence, In a great gathering of men of Irish blood from every quarter of the United States preliminary steps were taken for a fresh, world wide effort of the race in behalf of their motherland. The convention starred with the unique distinction of being the first assemblage of the kind held in America within twenty years not linked with the idea of main reliance upon parliamentary agita tion. Every seat in the ball was occupied. The delegates were seated by States, all the States in the Union being represent ed, as also Canada and Au-tralia. One of the scenes was the we’e >me tendered O’Donovan Rosea when he walked down the aisle and took a seat among the New Yorkers. Rosa ap peared hale and hearty and s emed to feel the effects of time very lightly. The convention was called to order by John J. O’Connell, of Chicago, chairman of the committee of arrangements. Mr. O’Connell explained the causes leading up to the calling of the conven tion; that the peoplejjf this country had lost faith in the Irish Parliamentary party. Requests came from all over the country, urging that such a convention should*be held so that the new move ment had to get down to business. In response to these requests local com mittees were formed to make arrange ments for the work of the convention. For three days, the delegates would be called upon to devise means for the furthering of the object for which the gathering had been called. In the wishes of the speaker the day would no 1 be far distant when an Irish republic, based on the lines < f the greatest republic on earth, would be established, to which end this convention would lend invalua ble aid, if its work be fittingly and prop erly done. Mr. O’Connell then introduced, as a temporary chairman, ex-Congressman John F. Finerty, of Chicago ifeMr. Finerty was given a rousing re ception and made a spirited address calling for prompt and officient action in behalf of Ireland and was frequently in terrupted by the cheering of the enthusi astic delegates. No attempt was made to transact business at the opening ses sion and at the conclusion of Mr. Finerty’s speech the convention adjourn ed for luncheon. A feature as Chairman Finerty’s ad dress which evoked special enthusiasm, was his reference to Cuba. “I am as good a citizen as any man,” said Mr. Finerty during his speech, “but I would welcome the sight of 100,000 armed Americans breaking the neutrality laws in behalf of Cuba, and doubly could I welcome the sight of 500.000 armed Americans breaking the neutrality with England in behalf of Ireland.” Mr. Finerty said the extinguishment of the nationality of Ireland by fraudu lent means had placed the smaller coun try at the mercy of the larger. The act of union was passed by a sectarian assem blage, and had been cursed by all true, fervent Irishmen since the day i f its birth. The various attempts of Irishmen to make the English government listen to reason wore recapitulated by thespeaker, the first and only one that accomplished the desired result being, in his opinion, the Fenian movement. Where Isaac Butt, Charles Stewart, Parnell and other leaders failed the Fenians has succeeded. When the Fenian movement was killed, the ears of the English government were closed to reason. Thespeaker continued: “There are those who fear that, we may do something here against the laws of the United States. Our loyalty to the United States is shown in the stars and stripes on our platform here; but our loyalty is a matter indirectly independ ent aud separate from the neutrality laws “When has England paid any atten tion to neutrality laws? Certainly not in Ireland, where her very presence is a standing memorial of her breach of neu trality laws. If France had said to Washington, which is frequently said to us nowadays, observe the neutrality laws, you and I, gentlemen, would still be serfs aud dependents ofjthe British, ai our unfortunate brethren in Ireland. Though there be comparatively few Irishmen loft in Ireland to bear the blows of the oppressor, there are 20,- 000 000 of Irishmen in every part of the world ready and anxious to strike the blow that shall make the old country free “For twenty five >eas the foreign policy of the United Stun s has not been what it should have been. When the English gunboats landed their men at Corinto it should have evoked a reply from the mouths of American cannon that would make the Monroe doctrine far more effective than the negative, pusillanimous neutrality laws. When Cuba raised the fhg of freedom, it should have been the duty of Americans to hasten to her deliverance, neutrality or no neutral ity, and when the power of England is used against tbe United States it would be our duty as citizous of this great re public and our pleasure as children of old Ireland to bear arms for our country against the oppressor. We want to hear the rebel yell at ttc gates of England— that rebel yell which, while it was con fined to American soil, England did so much to encourage and faster despite all the neutrality laws. “Thus far all agitation has seemed to be hopeless against the treachery and deceit of England. It is time now that we try some other course, some course that we can pursue sensibly, some course that will serve a legitimate and perma nent ending, and at the same time that will meet approbation of mankind. That is the purpose of this new movement. We aim to consolidate the Irish race in a sensible, aggressive movement against the British empire wherever w'e can strike her. In the formation of plans for this work, gentlemen of the conven tion, the eyes of the children of Ireland ate upon you from every part of the world.” In conclusion, Finerty said, “We are here to proclaim to the world that the Irish race is by no means defeated or disheartened. There are more Irishmen to day than were ever on the face of the earth before. We will circle England with a wall of fire which shall never be extinguished until Ireland is free.” At the conclusion of Mr. Finerty’s ad dress a number of cablegrams of sympa thy with the objects of the convention were read and received with applause. The only interruption aside from the applause was when a member of the Illi nois delegation asked who signed one of the Dublin telegrams. “Never mind who signed it,” an swered the secretary. “The men who signed those telegrams don’t intend to have themselves given away and their names made known.” A NEW HRIDE FOR OLD OCEAN. The Armored Cruiser Brooklyn to he Launched Next W ednesday. Philadelphia, Pa , Sept 24. —The work of preparing for the launch of the armored cruiser Brooklyn, which takes place at Cramp’s Ship Yard on Wednes day of next week, is being rapidly push ed and all will be in readiness for the baptizing of the huge vessel on that day. None of the minor details of the cere mony have yet been arranged, Sec retary of the Navy Herbert not having signified his desires in the matter. Chas. H. Cramp will visit Washington Thurs d?v of this week and the name of the lady who will wield the bottle of wine when the Brooklyn glides into the water will then be announced. It is the inten tion of the Cramps to launch the vessel with as little ceremony as passible and the present intention is to confine invi tations to representatives of the govern ment and newspaper men. Work is also being pushed on the bat tleship Indiana, which is to be given her official trial about October 15. It is believed here that the controversy which has arisen over the question of whether the Indiana will be docked at Port Royal, S C., or Halifax, N. 8., will be settled by the decision of her builders not to dock her at all. TALMAGE HAS NOT ACCEPTED. But lie W ill Reply to llie Invitation to Washington Saturday. Brooklyn, Sept. 24.—Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage stated to an Associated Press reporter to-day with reference to the call extended to him by the First Pres byterian Church at Washington, that he bad received two or three other calls of like character. The call from Washing ton, however, was very important aud presented a very inviting field, but he wanted a little more time, he said, to carefully consider and weigh the matter in order that he may be positive as to his duty. He said that ke would give a defi nite reply before the close of the week, proba ly on Saturday. A New Train Record Made. Syracuse, N. Y., Sept. 24—A special train created a new record between Al bany and this city on the New York Central this morhing, making the 149 miles in two hours and fifteen minutes.

Fire Raging In Philadelphia. Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 24.—A dis astrous fire is raging in the wholesale wool district of lower Chestnut street. It originated in the three story build ing of Webb & Co., No. 116 Chestnut street, which has already been com pletely gutted.

Washington, D. 0., Sept. 24 —The Treasury to day lost #225,006 in gold for export to Canada, which leaves the true amount of the gold reserve $05,185,333. DAMAGED BY DROUGHT THE DRY WEATHER IIAS PIT AN END TO THE GROWTH OF VEGETATION BUT IS FAVORABLE FOR HARVEST Cotton is Opening Premntnrely and Shedding its Late Rolls and Bios soms.-Fall Plowing and Seeding is Impossible While Hoot Crops Are Suffering--Freezing Temperature of the Rocky Mountain Region Has Caused Much Injury, Washington, Sept. 24.— The weather bureau in its report of weatherefop con ditions for the week ending September 23, says: This is fho second successive phe nomenally warm week over most of the country east of the Rocky Mountains, with an entire absence of rain over much of the central valleys, Atlantic coast and Gulf States. Corn, except a .small part of the late crops in Ohio aud Indiana, is now safe from frost. The weather conditions of the we k have been generally favorable for cutting and gathering corn, which work is in general progress. The warm, dry weather has also been favorable for cotton picking, which has made good progress. The reports gen erally show that cotton has opened rapidly during the week, and that the exceedingly warm and dry weather has forced the young bolls to open prema turely. Complaints of damage by in sects have continued to decrease. While the growth of late tobacco has been cheeked by drought, the warm, dry weather has been very favorable for housing and curing. Throughout the Middle Atlantic States, and generally in the States of the Ohio and Central Mississippi Valleys, fall plowing and seeding have been delayed, owing to drought, and general rains in these sections are much needed to place the soil in condition for this work. Freezing temperatures occurred througnout the Central and Northern Rocky Mountain regions, which, with snow to considerable depth in portions of Idaho, Wyoming, and Colorado, put an end to the growth of vegetation gen erally in that region and caused much injury, especially to fruit trees, in Utah and Colorado. The following special telegrams were received by the Weather Bureau this morning from the various State weather services : Virginia—Richmond : Excessively hot, dry weather, making crop conditions critical; ground baked; pastures burned up; no fall plowing or seeding done; fodder mostly saved, but some of it poor from firing; tobacco cutting and curing progressing; crop generally in fair con dition : many farmers feeding and wa tering stock. North Carolina—Raleigk: Very ab normal, unfavorable week, with intense heat, glaring sunshine, and unbroken drought; cotton opening prematurely, late blossoms and small bolls shedding; turnips, potatoes, and peanuts suffering from drought, and fall plowing and seeding impossible; rice harvest under way. South Carolina—Columbia: Exceessive heat and no rain favored cotton picking, but young bolls are opening prematurely, growth having stopped; good harvest weather for all crops; too dry for grow ing crops or fall seeding. .MR.

Chicago, 111., Sept. 24—The post poned game between Chicago and Cleveland probably will not be played. Anson wanted ’to play it here yesterday, but Tebeau wanted to play in Cleveland. The game was postponed by rain in this city August 10. Cleveland was scheduled originally to play yesterday, to-day and Wed nesday, but all these games were chang ed. Whether Tebeau, therefore, isjustifi ed in his stand is a question. Tebeau has played seven games here this year, in cluding Sunday games. Tebeau says he may play the game here a week from to-day, “if Cleveland needs it,” but An son says he will have something to say about that. For Championship ot the South. Richmond, Va.,Sept. 24.— About four thousand people saw the first game of the Richmond Nashville series for the championship of the South here to day. The locals out-played the visitors at every point. The latter became rattled early in the contest and did not recover until Richmond had practically won the contest. Tannehill pitched one of the best games of his life, while Herman was very wild. When he did get the ball over the plate it was batted hard. The Richmond’s played a fast fielding game, the work of McGowan, Wells, Houseman and Groves being particularly brilliant.

Frohman’s “Lost Paradise” was pre sented at the Academy last evening be fore an appreciative audience, though the play merited a much larger attend ance. The plot was a striking one, and each part was well sustained. The scene is laid in the home of the owner of a large mill, and the sceirc production of the maohinery on the inside of the mill itse’f in the second act, was very realistic/* and elicited much applause. The leading parts were weH taken l>y Mr. Wm. Morris, as “Reuben Warner,” “Superintendent of the works,” and “Miss Frances Garnet,” as “Margaret Knowlton” “daughter of the owner of the mill.” Their acting was very clever ami the frequent applause <4 the audi ence showed that their efforts were ap: predated. Billy Hopkins, “a spark from the fac tory furaaoe,” was very unique, and he, together with “Miss Ilawkins® as “Cin ders.” furnished a ripple es rnerrimeiA throughout the entire performance.
