RINGING PROTEST
Against the Wholesale Violations Of Citi.
lsns' Rights by Southefnefs.
The President Called Upon. Asked to
Condemn Such Deeds in His Coming
Message.


NEWPORT, Oct- 20
The committee appointed at the recent
meeting to protest against the negro outrages
in the south, have written President Harri-
son enclosing the report Of the meeting as
serting it was unanimous and enthusiastic.
All party predictions, all sectarian differ
ences, all lines referring to nationality, col
or or'race were laid aside. 1t was called to
protest against the wholesale and unrestrsin-
ed numbering of innocent American citizens
by thousands now going on in ssme states
of the south. Ii was convened to protest
against the deprival in these states of life,
liberty and property without due process Of
law.
The letter says an unrestrained violation
of the supreme law of the land, even by q
small part of the State, cannot be regarded
with indifference by those sworn to see that
the laws of the land are respected, if part
of those who constitute the State are left
free to do what the whole. by Law, are pro-
hibited from doing; the whole, it may be
legally assumed, are tacitly actors and res
ponsible for the thing done. We would ask
you most earnestly and most respectfully,
to use the utmost of the moral
influence Of your exalted position to
have stop put to the violation
Of Law referred TO; W. beseech you TO use
all the force that belongs to your high office
to put a stop TO the same we en- reat you to
make this violation of the law subje:t 4 of re-
mark and condemnation in your coming
messsg- to Congress. We believe nothing
in the character of our dual government or
its laws precludes the federal division thereof
from maintaining the force and full dignity
of the su RENE law of the land; that right
had been delegated BY several States to the

LONDON, Oct. 20.
Michael Davit had resumed his address

He said the authors Of the articles on Par.

bled quotations from the American papers.
They distorted everything relating to the
movements of the Irish In America.
He instsnced as n bsseless lie the state
ment that he met the chiefs of the American
assassination party while in the United Ststes.
and concerted with them to form All Irish
federation, and that ParneIl assisted in this
scheme. He (Daviu) had often repudiated
the policy of revenge, advocated by the ex-
trenists in America.
Davit also said many erroneous reports
