leader. MT. Redmond has flatly re- fused the invitation on the ground that ne does not believe in the proposed alliance; and he adds that he does not believe in the sincerity of those Eng lishmen who profess sympathy with America or in the national character of the present movement
 The members of the committee which Is organizing the proposed dinner are certainly not representative. The chief Of them are James Bryce, M. F., the author of the well-known book on the American constitution. and Sir Charles Dilke, M. P, and it cannot be said that either the enc or the other is represen- tative of England or a man in the front rank of British politicians Sir George Baden-P Powell, M. P, is the only Tory on the committee; Horace Plunkett, NJ, P, is the only IriShman who has att tached himself to it; and, of course, neither equals either MT. Bryce or Sir Charles Dilke in political reputation or in influence.
 A few days ago the British, but still more the Irish, public were amused at finding in the daily papers telegram addressed to the Spanish Ambassador in London in the following terms: God save Spain and King Alfonso XIII. D: McAleese, NJ P, J. Hammond, M. P. Those two gentlemen are members Of the anti Parnelite party in the House of Commons; one sits for division or the County Monaghan, the other Tor the county of Carlow. Both are quiet, respectable, silent men; the former, at least. though silent. is an able man and could talk if he liked. The last thing one would expect from either of them would be the adoption of such means of manfesting their opinions. Without wishing in the least degree to dispar- age their influence. I may truly say that their joint telegram of congratu- lation on the anniversary of the birth day of the Spanish monarch has only provoked a smile even among the mem bers Of the party to which they them selves belong. Certainly they do not express general opinion in manifesting sympathy with Spain in the matter of this war. What I have already written on this subject in previous letters ad- here to still: No doubt there are sym pathizers with Spain in Ireland as there are, I suppose in every country; but there can be no doubt at all as to which way the preponderating sentiment tends Ireland, as a nation, and speak ing broadly is heartily with America.

COW UODORE PHILIPS PROTEST.

In the midst " war. when everybody was
sounding the praises Of the officers who had
the fortune to find opportunity for the display
OF their abilities and courage. Secretary Long
called timely attention TO the merits of the
other officers whose hard task II had been to
do the humdrum work OF naval adminis;ra
tion. which. though 1t was necessary for the
safety Of the country and an essential element
in the preparation of the success which Is spec
tacular. offered no chance for glory and no
promise of reward. Now when with peace come
the prizes for the vicors Commodore Philip.

received wcll-mcrited promotion. with equal
tmelincss records his dsapproval OF system
which makes his reward Il penalty 10 friends
and classmates who are rs brave and capable
ms himself. who. he believes would have done
their duty no less than he did his II the fortune
Of war had brought them 10 the face OF the foe
This protest Is as magnanImouS it IS just
1t IL Interesting TO note that the Objection TO
the system of promotion comes not from those
who may feel that they victims Of II. but
from one who Is It's beneficiary. That speaks
volumes for the dcvOtcdness and unselnshness
OF our naval officers which contribute rs much
MS their prowess in battle to the honor. unity
and efficiency OF the American Navy
But Commodore Philips action should not
merely be an example Of generosity. II should
be the moving force Of n reform At present
the method followed Is the only one open 10 the
President for the reward Of conspicuous merit
and those who have been injured by the adj
vancemcnt of comrades over them have recog-
nizcd that fact. and. to their great honor. not
only refrained from grumbng bit given their
hearty approval 10 the comforting upon the
heroes Of active warfare Of such promotions as
were available. even nj their own expense. Ger
tany the Announcements made were. under the
circumstances entirely proper and even neces-
sary. but II Is equally certain that better
system should be devised and enacted into law
by which the President can reward brave men
without doing injustice to others OF equal
bravery. When man Is advanced five num-
bers In the list now 1t means that he will get
n higher rank and salary sooner than he other
wise would. But 1t also means that five other
