an Indication that he ia not entirely

1t is not for an instant presumed that

approach to shore and her big ammuni-

get than an enemy's battle ship, or
any but her own type and GLASS.
Neither the Filipinos nor Spaniards
have any such vessels in Asiatic wa
ters. Great Britain and Japan possess
some, but there is no concern about the
friendliness of those two countries.

MEAN ATTACK
From Irish Sources On Ambassador
Choate.

LONDON. Feb. .24.-The one discord
ant note in the otherwise harmonious
tenor of public utterances concerning 9
Ambassador Choate and his approach
ing arrival in England has been heard
here this week, and curiously enough
the acrid criticism was given birth in
the heart of Mr.. Choate's own country
from whence it has drifted to England
in advance of bis arrival.
Within the last few days the Irish
leaders and members of parliament
have been deluged with copies of an
American journal. purporting to repre-
sent Irish-American views, containing
the following marked editorial:
If there is more virulent enemy of
the Irish name than Joseph 81. Choate
we do not know of him. What the
Orangeman is to our race in Ireland
that is Choate. The evil spirit that
troubled them possesses him. The
man really acts like demoniac. In
other things he seems rational. but
when Ireland and the Irish are touched
upon. the man acts like mad. He hates
the Irish as the devil hates holy water.
His malevolence is not confined to
any class or section of Irish. He alb
hors them all. He hates the republi-
can Irishman quite as much as he hates
the Tammany Irishman. He tellsIrish
that the repu blican party
caa get along without them. He would
have all lIrish-Americans, with their
wives and their children and their
children's children, betake themselves
out of America and go back to Ireland.
And he assures them that the repubn-
can party and the country will rejoice
at their departure.
1t is gratifying to note that the pub
ication of the editorial has been re-
,eived without comment and apparent
y has made little impression even

Hull is by 10 means pleased with the

ter than to leave the army under tenn
