Withoutdoubtthelargest,mostrepresentative,andmostimportant ConventioneverheldinDublinwas thatofMay21st,whichrejectedMr. Birrell'sIrishCouncilBill.

Thescene,saysthe"Freeman." whentheproceedingswereopened wasveryanimated.Thegreatbuildingwaspacked.Hundredsofpeople whowereunabletogetseatingor evenstandingroominthebodyofthe hall,weremassedinthespaciousentrance.Everyinchofroomhadbeen occupiedlongbefore.Intheglow oftheelectriclight,whichhadbeen turnedonathalf-pasteleven,the Conventionformedapictureofextraordinaryinterest.
