IRISH NATIONAL LEAGUE.
An Address to Irishmen Regarding the
Home Rule Bill.

An ADDRESS 10 ArisnmeH heSafuInS the
Home Rule Bill.
NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-The national
league OF America tonight issued an ad-
dress to Irishmen. 1t is signed by the
president, secretary and treasurer, and
is as follows: tIrishmen are inclined to
congratulate themselves on the seeming
beginning era of liberty, peace and pros
perity for Ireland. Home rule for Ireland
undoubtedly sounds well, but Irishmen
should ponder before arriving at the con-
clusion and not allow mere sound to play
on their sympathies above their reason.
This measure cannot be accepted as full
and complete settlement OF the claims of
our people, and we have no hesitation in
declaring that instead of a blessing it
would prove curse to our country. 1t is
absolutely unworthy of the traditions
and wants of the people,

ment; five years more in the " first van," max

military service is practically over, he receives
his share OF the commune's property to work,
marries, builds himself hut like the others,
brings up family. works through his life, and
dies.
The character thus formed by his village life
and surroundings the peasant carries with him
into the army, there to be slightly modified by
his new career. The fist thing he learns is un-
questioning obediepcsoand respect to his supe-

Yet side by side with this unbending dis

officers and men.

and some privileges and who yet submit to the
usual discipline. This cavalry is divided into
GIL squadrons of which 352 are regular cav
airy, cuirassiers, dragons, uhlans, and hussars,
and 319 COssack.
The regimental and company officers possess
many of the stoid, stubborn qualities of the sol
diers. In the regiments of the guard the Off
GERS are gentlemen of polished address, familiar
with the life of courts and capitals, gained in
constant travel through Europe speaking sew
eral languages fueutly, and are possessed of a
wide variety Of knowledge. In the regiments
of the line these requirements are lack ing,
though they are partly compensated for by g
greater familiarity with the technical duties of
their profession.
The Russian soldier Is amazed at nothing.
Nothing frightens him. He advances or stands
still at the will of his chiefs, above all at the will
OF the Gar, which is to him the supreme law.
Russa's greatest General to-day is Gourko. He
is an admirable type of the Russian soldier and
of the Russian officer.
The fame of the Cossseks is widespread.
Their audacity and their cleverness are pro-
verbal. This corps d'elite is regulated on q
special system. They are exempt from tax,
furnish their own uniform, horse and equip
meut. The State supplies them only with q
rifle. Their horses which come from the step
pes of the Don. are intelligent and strong They
are less rapid in their movements than English
horses, but they have much more stamina and
extraordinary docility.
The Cossack and his horse are one. A charge
of Cossacks is like destructive whrlwud.
They sweep all before them. These are the
horsemeR whO the moment there was a decla-
ration of war, would be hurled by Gen. Gourko
upon Germany and upon Austria to clear the
ground, to cut communications, to throw the
Prussian lines into disorder, and to give time
to the great corps d'arme to mobilize.
The National tribune., 1893-11-30

Besides the regular army and the militia
the Russians possess important auxilisries
drawn from the Caucasus known as Cossacks
who are recruited and organized under a spec
ial system.
The army of the Gar is composed of 81 corps
d'arme divided up into Il conscriptions. The
strength of each corps is about As, 900 men.
The infantry comprises 165 regiments of the
line, 20 regiments of chasseurs, is regiments of
grenadiers, and 12 regiments of the guard
This is a very fine army, we'll organized, of
great resisting power and prodigious tenacity.
1t is armed with repeating rifle very much
like the French Lebel, and which is highly
esteemed by the Russian Generals.
The artillery is composed of SO siege batter ss
1874 field batteries, Is mountain batteries, 43
batteries cheva and three mortar regiments
altogether nearly 5000 light pieces and 1900
siege guns
Besides this there are brgades of engineers,

AS TO the Imperial cavalry, it is we'll known
to be one of the finest and by far the most con-
siderable in Europe. 1t is composed of regu-

tie-Shp and Four Torpedo Cruisers.
Secretary Herbert's recommendations have
been submitted TO the President and will be
embodied in the message as well as the re-
port of the Secretary. They contemplate
the construction of one new battle-ship and
four torpedo cruisers. The battle-ship he
has in view will be a compromise between
the Iowa, the last vessel of the type designed,
and the three lineOf-batte ships of the Indi-
ana class-n other words, a vessel of about
10000 tons. The Secretary considers the Iowa
n most formidable ship. but not well adapted to
our ports because of her deep draft. 1t is i'm
possible to dock vessels of moro than &c feet
draft owing to lack of depth of water in our
hsrbors. Thus the Secretary is opposed to large
battle-ships.
Next to the question OF ships, an increase in
the number of enlisted men is one of the most
important subjects upon which Secretary Her
bert will dwell in his annual report. ma
terial increase in this direction will be recon-
mended. The Secretary does not expect that
all vessels building shall be constantly kept in
commission, and will not ask for sufficient
number of men to complete the compliments of
all these vessels. but the constant demand for
vessels to protect American, interests abroad
makes 1t necessary that our squadrons in for
eign waters shall increase as rapidly as the
vessels now under construction become availa-
Bile. TO do this, at least 1900 more men will be
necessary. The Navy Department is aread y
experiencing some embarrassment.
