Alleged. Agreement for a Suspension.


New York, Nov IA Sun special
from Rome says: The Osservatore
Romano prints ga private, confiden-
tiol letter from high person in
London" asserting that Emperor
Williams visit to Ergland was to
further peace in South Africa. 1t
has resulted, the writer says, in an
exchange OF ideas regarding a preli-
minary agreement for temporary
suspension OF hostilities. The Osser-
vatore Romano's status as the official
organ OF the Vatican, and the pro-
minence it gives to the letter, alone
justify any notice being taken OF the
extremely improbable story.

The American Flag.

II can even now remember my re-
Elections on first beholding the Amer
lean flag. 1t never crossed my mind
that time might come when the flag,
the emblem Of freedom so often alluded
to, should be divided by apportioning
its stars to the citizens Of native birth,
and its stripes only as the portion of the
foreigner. was, Of course, young and
inexperienced; and yet, even recent
events have not diminished my conf
dence in that ensign OF civil and relig-
ious liberty. 1t is possible I was mis-
taken, but still cling to the delusion, ii
it be one, and as l trusted to that flag
on a nations faith, / think it more
likely that its stripes will disappear al
together; and that before it shall be
employed as an instrument of bad faith
towards the foreigners of every land,
the white portions will blush into
crimson and the glorious stars alone will
remain. Archbishop Hughes.

THE BRITISH WHIPPED AGAIN. Y

General Sir Redvers Butler, "the sill
lent and bloodthirsty man." is not apt
to eat his Christmas dinner in Pretoria
as he boosted he would do when leav-
ing England. He received a staggering
blow at Tugela River on Dec. IS, from
which he has not yet recovered. In at
tempting to cross the stream he lost
eleven pieces OF artillery besides some
100 men killed, wounded and missing,
and he was forced to fall back more
rapidly than he had advanced. Three
crushing defeats in one week fairly upset
British equanimity and opened the eyes
of the jingoes to the fact that Butler
was too small man to retain chief
command OF the South African forces.
He is to be superseded by General Lord
Roberts with General Lord Kitchener
as chief OF staff. A great deal is ex-
pected from these two Irishmen, but like
all British generals their military skill is
vastly over-estimated. They have ac-
quired their reputation in fighting Sc
poys and Dervishes, and have never
been pitted against such good soldiers
as the Boer burghers. Roberts served
some years ago in Natal and the Trans

vaal and now at the advanced age of g
is called upon to save the British
troops in Africa from utter humiliation.
Kitchener, the butcher of Omdurman,
IS twenty years younger, and typical
British brute. He is the man who re-
ceived grant OF 100000 from the Brit
ish parliament for his atrocities in the
Soudan. We predict that in few
months hence he will have lost his pop
ularity and be shattered idol like Bull
er, Methuen and Gatacre. British gen.
erals and officers are responsible for the
defeats in Natal and Cape Colony. The
men of the rank and file are good fight
ers, but they have laundering, inefficient
officers to lead them in battle.
All Europe is pleased at England's
discontinue, and none but the Anglo
maniacs in this country have word of
sympathy for her. She is Justify calling
for more men, but before they arrive in
Africa, Ladysmith, Mafeking and Kim
berley will have fallen. Perhaps the
troops there now under the defeated
generals will have surrendered before re-
Inducements reach them. The Beers
at present are masters of the situation.
The British have been outwitted and
outgeneraled, and the hardest part of
the campaign is still to come. May the
God of Battles aid the plucky Dutchmen
in their struggle against the legions of
Queen Victoria.

THE NEwl CENTURY CONTROVERSY.

An esteemed correspondent and attor-
ney-at-law asks The Irish Standard to
answer the question, When does the
twentieth century begin-on Jan. I, 1900,
or Jan. I, 1901? He says that some wise
professors do not agree with the Pope
when he says in his papal decree that
cat midnight on the last day of the
month OF December Of the coming year
the present century will finish and the
new one will have its beginning" When
Cardinal Gibbons was asked if the de-
cree made any reference to Dec. 81,
1899, as the close OF the nineteenth cen
fury, he said: "It does not, and no
mention is made of 1900 as the begin
ming OF a new century. On the con-
trary, the midnight mass is intended as
a celebration ushering in the final year
of the present century, which final year
begins, as all scholars understand, with
1900"

Joe Chamberlain, the Judas OF British
politics, received the honorable degree
OF IL. D. from Trinity College, Dub
lin last Monday, to the intense disgust
OF all Irish Nationalist. A brilliant as
semblage OF English officials witnessed
the ceremony, and the AngloIrish STU
dents OF the institution founded by
Good Queen Bess" applauded the rem
egadc and drew speech from him about
the sad news from South Africa. The
sons OF the aristocracy tried to create a
riot on College Green, but were baked
by the police who took from them the
royal standard and the Union Jack

BOUNDING A BAPTIST MINISTER,

The plutocratic papers OF the Twin
Cities, but especially the ST. Paul Dis
patch and Minneapolis Tribune, have
done great injustice to Rev. w. B.
Riley, the patriotic pastor Of the First
Baptist church, OF this city, by holding
him UP to public contempt for the
prayer he delivered at the recent Anti
1mperialist meeting at the Lyceum the
alter. Instead OF publishing his prayer
as uttered by him at the meeting they
printed distorted and garbled version

Cardinal Vaughan's London paper,
the Tablet, is the most rabid anti-Boer
organ in the modern Babylon. 1t false
ly accuses the Dutch burghers of reli-
gious prejudices against the Catholic
Church and bellies them unscrupulously.
1t is the same sheet that opposed Home
Rule to ireland, and surpassed the Lon
don Times in its virulence toward Par
nell and his compatriots. The best
thing that Archbishop Ireland did at
the time was to throw the bigoted
"Cawtholic" organ out of his house.
Perhaps that is why the English car
dinal failed to meet the St. Paul pre-
late during the latter's sojourn in Lon
don this year.

in dying in the service OF ones country
in attempting to fasten the yoke OF
slavery in the name OF liberty and
humanity upon other races and tribes
OF men in other lands. On the con-
trary, the men OF other lands who die
in opposing criminal aggression" no
matter whether it comes from Queen OF
President, are the true patriots; and
the mercenary soldiers who kill for
Queen or President are merely the tools
OF tyrants and deserve not the title OF
patriots, but butchers. The Beers and
the Filipinos are patriots, but Queen
Victorias and President Mckinley
soldiers OF invasion are not.
At this holy season the readers OF
The Irish Standard cannot perform a
more meritorious work in the sight OF
God than to pray for universal freedom
for the oppressed and struggling nations
OF the earth. Ireland, unhappy ireland,
naturally comes first, but the little brave
republics OF South Africa and the poor
Filipinos should not be forgotten. They
are all suffering from the accursed
Anglo-Saxons who want to rob and
Cypress in the name OF Civilization and
humanity" The God OF justice and
right loves all His children, whether
white, black or brown, and must be
angry with the strong nations that are
butchering weak people for selfish ends.
Let us all pray that the American people
may deal justly with their allies against
Spain by retiring from the presidential
chair the canting hypocrite who has
disgraced the republic during the past
two years, and that the Almighty may
strengthen the arms Of the Dutcllmen
in defeating the numbering hosts who
are bent on destroying their lives and
liberties and making them slaves OF the
bloody empire on which the sun never
sets. May England's present difficulty
become Ireland's opportunity and may
peace reign on earth as it is in heaven.

An officer of the Fifth British Ian
GERS writes the London Times about
the murder of surrendered Beers by his
command at the battle OF Elandslaagte.
He says: CATER the enemy were driven
out one of our squadrons pursued and
got right in among them in the twi-
light, and most excellent pigsticking
ensued for about ten minutes, the bag
being about sixty One of our men
stuck his lance through two, killing
both at one thrust. Had it not been
getting dark we should have killed many
more" Another soldier says in the
same paper: "They threw up their
arms and fell on their knees for mercy,
but we were told not to give them any,
and can assure you that they got none.
We went along sticking our lances
through them. 1t was terrible thing"

Frederick Driscoll, OF the Pioneer
Press, is no longer bushes manager OF
that paper. Like George F. Clifford, OF
the Globe, he was discarded by soul
less corporation after spending the best
years OF his life in building it up. Mr..
Clifford spent seventeen years on the
Globe and was fired at the dictation OF
an Englishman from Winnipeg, who is
not even an American citizen. Mr..
Driscoll was cast aside by Anglo-Saxon
Jews who now control the policy of the
Pioneer Press for all the money they
can make out OF it. The next man to
go will be Joseph Wheelock, OF Nova
Scotia.

At meeting OF the Ancient Order of
Hibernians held in St. Louis, Mo-, last
Sunday to sympathize with the Beers,
it was decided to start movement to
raise 100000 to equip and transport
troops to South Africa to aid the Dutch
farmers. Meetings of the order have
been held in other cities to endorse the
action of the Mound City brethren. The

will contribute their share of the fund.

Major General Henry w. Lawton is
another victim OF McKinley's insane
policy OF subjugation. He was killed
last Monday at the head of his troops
while engaged in driving the insurgents
from San Mateo, which lies northeast
OF Manila. He was an able and gallant
soldier, whose life alone was more valu-
able than the entire Philippine archi-
pelago. His death is deeply regretted
by all his countrymen.
