LONDON, Nov. 4.-(New York World Ca
blegram-Special Telegram,)--A movement
is being organized among English Catholics
to promote boycott or hostile demonstra-
ton against Cardinal Gibbons IL he accepts
Cardinal Vaughan's invitation TO attend the
opening of the new Westminster cathedral.
Lecky's denunciation OF Gibbons in
recently published work. ''The Map of
Life for his eulogistic preface to the hioS-
raphy OF the late John Boyle o'Reilly is
cited as ground for English Catholics re-
fusing to extend to Gibbons that hearty
welcome" which Vaughan had bespoken for
him. O'Reillys conduct In accepting ser
vice in the English Hussars to seduce the
queens soldiers from their allegiance Lecky
declared to be an "act of aggravated treach
cry and perjury for which Gibbons, per
sonage who occupies all but the highest posi-
ton in church which processes to be
supreme and the inspired teacher of morals,
says not a single word implying that
O'Reilly had done any act for which he
need be ashamed
Gibbons eulogy of OReilly is evidently
only pretext for movement which springs
really from the intense anti-Irish feeling
for which English Catholics have always
been notorious and which Is now especially
active owing to Irish sympathy with the
Beers. The perferVid prot9statlons OF
warm sympathy with England by American
correspondents OF London papers IN It's attack
on the existence of the Boer republics have
still left the English people unconvinced
