When the White star Line steamer Ma
jestic steamed into New York Bay yester-
day the steamboat Laura NJ. Starin, with
members Of the Irish National Alliance and
other friends of Ivory, and ex-District At
tcrney Mcintyre on board. went alongside.
The reception committee, led by President
VIM. Lyman, went on board from the
health officers tug Charles F. Allen, and
welcomed Ivory and the others. After the
usual inspection of the ship was made by
the health officer the entire party went on
board the Laura NJ Starin and came direct
to the city.
On boarding the Majestic the following
address of welcome was read by Maj. c.
OCornor Mclaughlin of the National Alh-
ance Guards: ,'e 'if'- YES
I'VE bid you caed mile failte. But we as
sure you thousand welcomes do not give
expression to the feeling in our hearts for
you. You have gone through the terrible
ordeal of British infamy unscathed. You
have proved to the world not alone your
own innocence. but the innocence of all the
other good Irishmen who were arrested
recently with you, and Of other Irishmen,
our brothers. who have been sent to the
madhouse and the grave by England's in
fernal agency, Scotland Yard. You have
been tried in the crucible. and we greet you
as one restored to US from the tomb. You
were subjected not alone to the threat of
Engfand's acknowledged agents. but You
were submitted to the treachery of the very
lawyers who had been retained for your
defense. Seeming friends would have
handed you over, gagged, feast for the
wolves of the British home office. You
have arisen above and beyond all, and in
stead of being prisoner in Portland you
are here in this land of liberty, your adopt
ed home, to which We, rejoicing in your
triumph bid you welcome a thousand
times over and over again. Your triumph
Is our triumph. the triumph of the Irish
National Alliance the triumph of the Irish
race over the British debauchery, over the
laws of God and man.
Again we say to you caed mile failte.
To you. Mr.. Mcintyre. we also extend q
caed mile failte. And this caed mile failte
we assure you with all its meaning to
Irish hearts. is absolutely inexpensive of
our admiration for you. You, an Ameri-
can. actuated only by a desire to uphold
Justice, volunteered to 20 to the British
capital and see that packed 1uries and
subsidized lawyers did not perpetrate an
outrage. You resigned your high office as
assistant district attorney of New York, so
that you should not be interfered with in
the path which you nobly selected as yours.
our last words as the ship on which you
sailed steamed out of her dock were I'll
bring Ivory back You have brought him
back. You beat down fraud. sent the
vampires skulking. and now you stand be-
lore us with honor upon you. supreme
honor. England's villainous methods her
conspiracy against justice, have been beat
en- into the dark by you. Through you the
world stands appalled, at the intense scoun-
drelism of the British home office and
Scotland Yard. All honor to you You
have brought Ivory back. and no gift that
1rishmen can bestow upon you will be too
great recompense for your efforts in behalf
OF liberty and justice. Again caed mile
failte.
TO you. Patrick Smyth. Patrick O'Rorke
John Wynne, you who gave up your posi-
tlons. so that you could do battle for JUS
tice In the capital of the enemy, we have
no less warm caed mile failte for you
than that which We have rendered with all
cur hearts to Edward j. Ivory and his dis
tinsuished counsel John F. Mcintyre You
have performed your duty nobly and not
more can brave men do. To all of you
Caed mile faiite! Caed mile failtev'
Mr. Mcintyre said that during the Ivory
trial he was treated with the greatest
courtesy by the British legal authorities
He was allowed to take full charge of the
papers relating to Ivory's defense He de-
manded fair and impartial trial of his
client, and had no reason to be dissa tis-
fled with the result. When asked whether
there was any truth in the report that
Ivory mad been given $4,000 by the British
authorities he said: No, you can deny that
Ivory neither demanded nor asked for a
dollar
Ivory and his party are in the best of
health and spirits
