POLES OPPOSE ALLIANCE.
Meet In Chicago and Declare Against
Any Deal with Great Er,ts,n

CHICAGO, July IL. 1.-The Polish resi-.
dents OF Chicago, at a meeting here
last night, denounced the Anglo.
American alliance.
In opposition to the promoters OF
the meeting and in favor of the Anglo
American alliance, lolin NJ. Sienkie.
wicz made "a bitter speech, in which
he pleaded with those present to
stand by America and Poland first,
before protesting against alliances,
with the English people, who have
always been in sympathy with Po.
land and her cause. lie said that
though the Poles as a liberty-loviug
people will always stand ready
to help the Irish people, yet he
claimed hat they must first stand by
Poland and her cause. which, in n
way, would be furthercd by indorsinp
and favoring Americas alliance with
England. He urged that the reason
for the alliance was tho near struggle
OF England with Russia, in which
event the Poles would have a chance
for liberty, for England and America
joined together would annihilate the
Russian power. The Irish people
would, in thai event, side with Rus.
STA, Poland's enemy, because Russia's
victory over England would mean
freedom to Ireland. The result OF his
speech was that when the resolutions
were Offered opposing the Alliance of
America with England. those present
were about equally divided on the
vote.
Mass meetings for and against the
alliance will be organized all over the
city among the Poles, and resolutions
OF protest and Endorsement will be
sent to Washington bv the Poles.

OF Women having expressed a desire
TO pay their respects TO the queen,
Lady Aberdeen arranged a trip TO

delegates.
1t was about So, when the dele

Il had never seen the queen before
and could not but feel a thrill when
looking into her wonderful face. l
saw her, as her life is going ont, well
coming this women's movement, which
Is the precursor of the twentieth CEN
tury. What pleased me most was
when her majesty said:
Nov | cannot have these ladies
who are visiting me return without
giving them "a cup of tea
'Sir Arthur Bigg, the queens pri-
vate secretary, replied: But. your
majesty, they are here in hundr eds.

they are there in thousands, they must
all have a cup of tea when they come
to see me-
And we had IL in the queens pal
ace as a recognition OF the great wo-
manhood of our country"
Mrs. Scwall said: THE queen looked
ten years younger than when | saw
her three years ago. The whole bear.
ing OF her majesty was a symbol that
she, who has governed the mightiest
of empires for sixty-three years, has
finally recognized intuitively, that
she w her work in recognizing
the claims of her sex to equal rights
with men,"

ling statement that the time was near

return in peace to Independence and
that they will be welcome. During
