ST. PATRICK DAY AT CORK.
DUBLIN, March 1S-The celebration of st.
Patrick's Day at Cork yesterday was of unus-
al proportions. A mass meeting was held in
City Park at which it is estimated that $4,000
persons were present. Mr.. Ronayne presided,
and on taking the chair made powerful
speech. He said the most despotic government
in Europe would not have allowed such a an
occasion as royal thanksgiving to pass with
out signalling it by amnesty to political pris-
oners. The Queen should remember that her
dynasty owed its existence to the greatest per-
jurer of modern times, the Duke of Marlbor-
ough. Providence seemed to interpose to re-
mind her of that, for in the same carriage with
the Queen when O'Connor presented the pistol
and petition, sat a lady of honor who is a de-
scendent of the Chnrchlls. England had new
ergranted Ireland anything from motives of
justice. Concessions had always been wrung
from Or through fear. The speakers bold de-
INDICATIONS were received with frequent and
and prolonged cheering.
Although there was much excitement no dis
order occurred and the police force which had
been largely increased found no occasion to in
terfere. -t-i ' NJ
