Congress of America opened to-day. with prob
ably l 900 delegates and visitors from all parts
OF the United states and Canada.
Robert Bonner OF New York, President of the
Association, called the Congress to order
Among the delegates were many we'll known
people, including Alexander Montgomery of
San Francisco and the Rev. Robert Burns of
Tacoma.

The report of the Executive Committee showed
the wonderful growth of the society during the
past year.
Rev. DR. Mcintosh of Philadelphia delivered
an address on 1.-The Making OF an fisherman -
1t was greeted throughout with bursts of ap-
plause. He described the advent of Scotchmen
into Ulster, their forced emigration from that
place and their landing in America as Scotch
Irish: He dwelt at length on the origin of the
race in the lowlands of Scotland. In conclud-
ing he said: Gods moment to let the Scotch
Irishmen loose in all his yet untried strength
front place in the gap to bar the old oppressors
The martyr for conscience takes his champion
stand beside the fresh worlds flag a free
church and q free State. The landlords quon-
dam slaves will win free ballot and safe
homestead; the lover of learning, robbed of
years of school and college, will wage the fierc-
| est battle till he stands secure with free
school in every district aud an open college to
all corners, and the expatriated and exasperated d
Ulster man will never surrender the struggle
till the old wrongs are lost in his new and abid-
| ing rights "
| At to nights meeting Professor Perry of Will
| Jams College delivered an historical address on
| the 'ScotchIrish in New England"
Rev: D. Kelly of Tennessee spoke on General
| Sam Houston, the Washington of Texas"
The programme for the entire Congress has
| not yet been arranged. Many well known orators
will speak during the sitting of the Congress
and number of men of national prominence
| will make extemporaneous remarks.

NEwFoUNDLAND.
The Inhabitants Refuse to Pay Taxes OF
All Kinds.

ST. JOHNS (N. F.) May 29th.-From Cape Raw
to Cape st. John the English population OF IL.
600 resolved to refuse to pay TO the Coz ernment
of Newfoundland any taxes of any kind not
even import duties, until given protection
against the encroachments of the French along
that shore. The recent outrages by the French
war-sh1p have brought matters to a crisis
1t seems the lndre came into the Bay of St.
George, running upon the English herring fish
ermen, and ordered them to take up their nets
The Englishmen declined. The French officers,
with an armed cutter, put of, destroying most
of them. The people favored an armed resist
ance, but the local magistrate was applied TO
for redress or relief. He said he had no power
could not help them. Then couriers were sent
along the coastwho organized determined op-
position TO the French war ships.
The English man of.war Pelican came into St.
George harbor two days afterward, and the
Captain was informed of the affair, but sailed
away without telling what he intended TO do or
advising the inhabitants.
A tremendous meeting was then held, at
which there were 80 people, and resolutions
were passed refusing to recognize the right of
the Newfoundland Government TO collect du-
ties. In furtherance OF this, every merchant in
the neighborhood has since refused to pay du-
ties on Imports. This plan will be acted on until
such time as they receive protection from the
French Government.
Another proposition made, which will be car.
return of all duties imposed for the last thirty
years. If these measures are not productive of
relief the inhabitants will give armed resist
ance to any measures the French may take to
enforce what they call treaty rights on the
French shore

MEMORIAL DAY VERSES.

Our hearts we hush, our heads we bow,
AT Freedoms holv altar now;
Above the dust of sacrifice.
We bend today with weeping eyes
And hallow with each hallowed tear
The sacred incense offered here.
Let Love and Duty walk to-day
Along the still and sacred way,
And bear sweet blossoms Love has lent;
Let breath of bloom be sweetly blent
With breath OF patriot vow to God,
AS on we walk with feet unshod;
That long as Love can weep and sing
Our tender tribute we will bring:
As long as Faith its life can keep
We'll guard the trust of those who sleep;
And long as God can hear our cries
Well shield the dust of sacrifice
"A. A. Hopkins.
Blow soft, ye balmy breeze of spring,
swing low, ye waTblers on the wing.
The kiss of sunbeams we entreat,
The dew's caresS as nectar sweet.
Above the mounds on blood -drenched plain
Above the graves where lie the slain
We, too, will bend in rev'reut love
Each soldier dust and bed above;
With willing hands our offering strew
Alike Ser friend and foe,
Believing each to conscience true
Tne boys in gray, as well as blue.
-Felma CaldoUeH Meluille.
One brother fought beneath the stars;
The other battled for the bars
The land that gave them both their birth,
And saw their strife succeed to mirth,
Now gives them peaceful sepulcher,
And guards alike with tenderest care
The memory of her warning sons.
Ger fields that heard the roar of guns
Sounds martial music, solemn, slow,
As colunned thousands reverent go
To where the silent squadrons keep
The bivouac of eternal sleep.
No more shall fall on blue or gray
The lesden hail of yesterday,
But tender flowers shalt fall instead
To grace the graves where rest our dead
-Frsd. C. Dayton.
