NEW YORK, June 3.
The New York Irish are not satisfied with
the Washington treaty. They met in mass
meeting at Cooper Institute last night to
'~iprotest against its ratification" AS the
treaty has already been ratified and The Senate
has adjourned, this protesting is very much
like locking the Stable door after the contents
have been carried of. The meeting served,
however, 10 give expression to the bottled up
wrath Of the local professional orators. Inc
administration came in for a scathing review
fsr its 'Aunkeyism." Fenian-General Halpine
said to The audience, "Your rights have been
sold and Jour interests betrayed, and tonight
Won aye In the hands Of one Of the most !des-
perate aespolisms that ever existed on the
face oil the earth" This statement was so
vague that the audience was in doubt IT, the
depotlsm alluded TO was the British Govern
ment, the Grant Administration or the Tam
many Ring.
Mr.. Patrick G.. Duffy thought that "the per-
mission granted TO Canadian dshermen 10 nsn
in American waters was a contemplate sur
render Of the rights Of New England nsher-
men" The resolutions condemn the admins
lrajion for not providing in the treaty tor the
release of the Irish soldiers who are suffering
Imprisonment in the penal colonies OF Great
Britain. Hon. William E. Robinson, eN N. u,
closed the proceedings with a ludicrouS review

land. The meeting was very enthusiastic, as

millionaire %songstress a couple OF years ago,
and was lucky enough TO Ind favor inner

overweight, and has chestnut hair and req

The society papers to which 1ayefJust

In New York journalism. The old Hofne

Tor years been recognized by the better classes
as tie. organ for fashionable news, but the pa

The BOBBY young men, who 80 10 parties ana
haunt The avenue and spent most Of their
money in clothes. The society paper gets
rich on the vanity Of these tai!cr'S blocks. The
manner of securing their patronage Is very
simple. The editor announces, under Inc nsaa

De Browne is noted for the eXQaisiteness o.
his neckties, or that Jenkyns's aqtIl!ne nose IS
unrivalled among The noses which appear on
