the crowd rapidly increasing, cheering for
the Beers, singing God Save Ireland" and
We'll Hang Joe Chamberlain on a Sour

sons against the queen, the empire and the
army.
While passing Dublin castle the occupants
of the wagonette waved the Transvaal flag
defantly, whereupon the police stopped the
vehicle and seized the flag.
The wagonette, attended by large body
OF police, who often cleared the streets
then drove to the rooms of the Irish Trans

ing. A meeting of about sixty persons was
held, Messrs Davitt, Redmond and O'Brlen
speaking in violent condemnation of the
war and of Chamberlain and declaring that
the latters visit to ireland at such a mo-
ment was proof of his callous nature. The
speakers urged that, should an opportunity
occur, Dublinites ought to show their de-
testaton of the colonial secretary in un-
mistakable fashion.
Mr.. Davitt said:
"All Ir!shmen rejoice in the triumphs of
the Beers. No power in Europe would now
fear Great Britain, except perhaps the prince
of Monaco"

'Mr. Chamberlain deserves not doctors,
but eXecutioners."
Ultimately resolution proposed by
Davitt was carried denouncing the war and
calling upon the powers, particularly the
United States, to take steps to insure the
independence of the Boer republic.

ings, but the police arrested Connolly
