have any influence, lend your voice to the
cause of the Beers If you have no influ-
ence. but nave convictions, speak your SEN
timents.'
Bailey of Texas
Representative Bailey, of Texas, said that
he cLme merely to give his moral support
to the cause. His address was vigorous
one aud he was loudly applauded.
II am sick of hearing about our brothers
across he sea- he said. England is
brutal. She has hunted the Irish down and
shot them in brutal manner among the
boys and fens of ireland. 1t is not merely
English greed of gold or desire for wealth
that urges England on during this war.
She flnos an opportunity to blot repup-
lie from the map of the world and she does
no. hesitate to do 1t. I blush to say that
there are men under this flag who hope to
see this crime perpetrated. But they hope
in vain.''
Senator Allen
Senator William v. Allen, of Nebraska.
In a vigorous address, said:
IF there Is in any country on the face of
the earth that owes the British empire
nothing that country Is the United States
of America. England seeks to rule all
people for mercenery ends. There is not
lofty motive about her policy. Wherever
she can advantageously extend her COM
merce into that locality she carries her
arms. Whether it be fertile fields or dia-
monds or gold, the same greed for gain has
aetuated her conquests. I am not a be-
lever in non-intervention when liberty is
at stake I would not only intervene with
sympathy loudly and forcibly expressed,
but I would intervene with every lawful
means in my power. I hope and believe
that the God of Justice will in time see
that the British empire is overthrow and
a republic established in its place.
II hope that the fate which is melted out
to her will be the reward of any nation
which seeks to deprive and Cypress people
of its liberties whether 1t be In the plains
of South Africa or the islands of the sea.
A man cannot believe in the justice of the
cause of the Beers and at the same time
uphold our governments course in the
Philippines. The American flag will never
flow in triumph over the PROSTATE form of
liberty.
1--WE will not even recognize the republic
of the Beers, a sister republic, although we
have sent consul to Pretoria" Senator
Allen continued, SIS there any subtitle in

The next speaker was Representative
Champ Clark, of Missouri. He said in part:

Americans.
at is astounding that there should be any
argument as to that proposition within the

The Resolutions


The following resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, The American people still cher
ish the memories of 1776 and therefore fully
understand the rapacious war which Great
Britain is waging against small but pa
triotic people whose misfortune is the pos
session of natural wealth coveted by Brit
ish greed.
Whereas, In the prosecution of this rob
Der warfare, Great Britain has been
baked of her tyrannous designs, and has
therefore resorted to unlawful and barbar-
ors war tactics, as is her wont, to-wit:
/. The aiming of savages.
2. The distribution of dum-dum bullets to
her soldiers, coupled with the boast that
the British government possesses one nun
bred million such missiles.
8. The illegal seizure of peaceful mer-
chandise en- route from the neutral ports
of the United States to the friendly Portu-
guese
Whereas, The president of the United
States has not taken proper notice of these
outrages. making it necessary for the peo-
rle at largo to express their will through
public assemblages and serious warnings |;
therefore
THE citizens of the American capital, in
mass meeting assembled have
Resolved, That the people of the Orange
Free State and South Africa are, and of
right ought to be. free and Independent and
their independence is recognized ITO be
equal in morality to that of any people, the
false witness of the British press to the
contrary Notwithstanding. That the pre-
cipitation upon them of savage foes in
alliance with trained soldiers threatens the
repetition of the horrors of Wyoming, Fort
Dearborn and other places, bitterly remem-
bered by the American people as ruthless
instances of British perfidy and dishonor.
The attention of the president of the United
States is respectfully directed to this feat
ure which is a notorious matter of COM
mon repute throughout the world.
Resolved. That this meeting, in concert
with the American people throughout the
land, sends its sympathy and good will and
heartfelt encouragement to the Beers. and
reminds them that as we triumphed against
the same foe. so may they.
Resolved, That we beseech and strene-
ously urge the president of the United
States to exercise the prerogative vested
in him by the peace convention lately ar
ranged by the powers of the civilized world.
We beg him to offer his good offices as a
mediator between the Beers and the British
for the deliverance of those unfortunate
Englishmen and their families, now being
punished for the crime of a brigand cagal Of
gold grabbers and land-hungry conspfra-
tors, not one of whom is at the fore front
of the battle.
Resolved, That we solemnly protest
against the shipment of munitions of war
from this country for the use of Great Brit
ain."
