The Irish-American organisations, at their annual picnic in Chicago, after

listening to inflammatory speeches from Mr. John Fitzgerald, of Boston, and Mr. Finnerty, unanimously passed a, resolution declaring that " the Home-rule Bill-will not satisfy the. Itiala peoples hut we.are, afraid.. that the total rejection of the measure would be worse for Ireland than to accept it as it stands under protest." The financial clauses, they add, are manifestly unjust to Ireland. If this is the very best the American Nationalists can say of the Bill, the chances of its being accepted as a final settlement are not very hopeful. In truth, the old declaration that whatever was given would only be accepted as an instalment, and pro Mato, holds the field.
