THE IRISH CONVENTION
♦ — THE COLONIAL DELEGATES' MANIFESTO. [Per Press Association.] LONDON, Sept. 4. The Liberal Press complains that at the Irish Convention there is no scheme of unity, .and that the proceedings are a discouraging spectacle. The newspapers assert that the antiLiberal attitude of the Irish priests is painfully plain. Mr Tim Healy, in the course of nn interview, admitted that neither Mr Dillon nor be was fit for the position of leader of the party, as both represented certain factions. The manifesto of the colonial delegates to the Irish Convention has convinced the convention that the colonies earnestly desire the unity of the party on the basis that the majority shall rule. Mr Dillon states that if unity should be restored the Irish opposition to Imperial questions will render the government of Ireland impossible. The Irish National League of Great Britain has rejected all its officers who were supporters of Mr Healy, including Messrs T. Sullivan, Knox and Crilly,.M.P's, and confirmed the expulsion of Mr Healy himself.
