BOER SYMPATHIZERS
President McKinley's Name Kissed at
 a New York Meeting

New York, March 15-There was a mass meeting of Boer sympathizers at Cooper Union tonight over which George M. Van Hoosen presided.
 President McKinleys name was hissed and hooted, but the mention of Bryan brought forth cheers. MT. White made reference to Bryan that were cheered. An other remark of his that was enthusiastical- ly cheered was: "I hope the day may be far distant when there is in reality ease of hands-across- -the-sea-to stifle the life and independence of America"
 Referring to his interview with regard to the probable destruction of Johannesburg, by the Boers, he said:
 "A nation making war cannot provide a drawingroom for it's enemies. The Boers should neither have lost nor gained by the destruction of Bloemfontein, but the case of Johannesburg is different, as it would provide splendid barrack accommodations for the British. and by reason of its loca- tion and other advantages invaluable base for operation"
