SCENE DF GREAT ENTHUSIASM,
(Received April 24, 10 a.m.)
LONDON, April 23
Mr J. E. Redmond has 'been elected President of the Irish Convention in Dublin. In his address, he said the Bill was the greatest and most satisfactory ever offered, implying as it rdid the disappearance of Dublin Castle and all its evil, blood-stained traditions. They would be a nation of fools, he declared, if they did not accept. Ho was aware, he said, that the safeguards against religious ascendency were unnecessary, but as long as anyone in Ireland had honest doubts in connection therewith he was ready to accept them. The Bill gave Ireland immediate control of nine-tenths of tho Trish services, and. eventually the whole. He insisted that'the-Bill's finance proposals Mere far better than cither of its predecessors. He moved the acceptance of the Bill. The Lord Mayor of Cork (Alderman J. Simcox) seconded tho motion, which wns carried amidst the greatest enthusiasm and the unfolding of the green flag simultaneously.
