IRTSH POLITICAL PRTS0NERS.
Reception in Their Honor at the Hy-
 Dcrion I.ast Night,


 The Hyperion theater was filled last evening with large gathering of the irish residents of the city, the occasion being a reception rendered to Patrick J. Henralian and Edmond O'Brien Ken nedy, two Irish political prisoners re- gently released from English prisons. The reception was given by the United Irish Societies of New Haven, and an elaborate programme of singing, music, rectations and addresses was given. Representative James P. Bree was chairman of the meeting. The theater was profusely decorated with the Stars and Stripes and green banners, the two making bright blending of colors In introducing the guests of honor MT. Bree made brief remarks, in the course of which he said that England had brought want and pestilence on Ireland. He said that England had snatched from their homes children of Ireland and had inflicted upon them the most savage, cruel and inhuman tortures and that year after year men like the guests of the evening had flung themselves against British arrogance and power. In their hearts the men and women of Irish birth held no love for England, but rather hatred and contempt. Dur ing all the centuries in which England has usurped power in Ireland the peo- pie of the isle have never assented, and never will while they have willing hands to strike their blows.
 In addition to Messrs Henrahan and Kennedy, MT. Bree introduced two oth- CT Irish political prisoners, who were present, John H. O'Connor, known in England as Henry Dalton and Thomas J. Clarke, known as H. H. Wilson. MT. Kennedy was known as Timothy Featherstone.
 It was expected that General James R. OBerne of New York would be present and deliver the address of the evening, but he has just been appointed diplomatic agent of the Transvaal to this country and word was received from him Saturday that he would be unable to be present. In his place Au- gustus F. Costello of New York, for mer political prisoner, was introduced as the speaker of the evening. MT Cos tello in the course of his talk referred to England as a nation of miscreants

Self-Playing Instruments.

The great seIf-playing instruments are the Aeolian, the Orchestrelle and the Pianola, all oe which we carry in stock and for al! of which we are agents. The 4.ecllan and Orches- trelle are organs complete In them selves; the Pianola Is an instrument in en ornamental case, which can be attached In moment to any piano. With P!anoia aEy ore can play the r.ano. The prohibitory tariff of years of patient and tedious practic- ing to acquire the technical ability of striking the right note at the right time has been completely wiped away. The Pianola plays any composition you want, from the light popular songs and marches to the finest and most difficult classical compositions.

MUST LEAVE OR FIGHT.
President Kruger Demands The Removal Of
All British Troops From the Border.

War between Great Britain and the South
African or Transvaal Republic now seems
practically Inevitable.
The TrHnsvaal Government has suddenly
preciptated the crisis by sending to Great
Britain m ultimatum consisting OF four de-
mHnds and requiring an immediate answer.
II Great Britain does not make n satisfac-
tory answer within the time limit she is
notified that her course will be deemed
formal declaration Of war.
Tho demands are TINT the differences OF
the two Governments bo settled by arbitra-
tion or other amicable means; that troops on
the border be Instantly withdrawn; that
British reinforcements sent to South Africa
since June be withdrawn within a reason
able time, and that the Briti1h troops now
on the seas shall not be landed In any part
OF South Africa,
Another note sent by tho Transvanl Gov
ernment to Great Britain contains O defense
OF the Transvaal's position.
The London Tires says II hag reason to
believe that the British Governments reply
to President Kruger will contain simply n
brief expression OF regret that he should
have taken the serious step involved In ad
dressing communication OF such nature,
and the announcement that Great Britain
has no further Communication TO make to
him at present.
In London there Is no Sign OF yielding to
the demands. War is regarded as inevita-
Bile. The r feeling 10 London was shown
hy Wild demons ration In honor OF the
Now South Wales Lancerr, who passed
through the city on their way to South
Africa.
The situation on the Transvaal frontier is
critical. British troops are sleeping on
their arms. 1t is stated in London that
lighting may have already begun.
1t is reported that Great Britain hns bought
from Portugal Delagoa Bay and surround
Ing territory, which has been the Transvaal's
only outlet to the sea not controlled by
Britain
