during the progress of the trials OF
O'Conncll and his confederates for con-
spiracy. "Mr. Gartlan and Mr.. O'Ma-
hony, attorneys for the traversers," he
says, were surprised to see their pri-
vate letters printed in the government
newspapers in Dublin. The extent to
which this system operated was hardly
appreciated until the discovery of Sir
James Graham's behavior with respect
to the correspondence of Mazzini, the
Italian. By diligent inspection OF let
tiers to and from Mazzini, the British
minister was enabled Gin the interest

Naples of all the movements and de-
signs OF the brothers Bandiera and
thereby had the satisfaction of putting
it in that monarcl's power to entrap,

After the Mazzini case was exposed, the
British public affected to be indignant,

The British government will affect
to be displeased at the action OF its
agents in South Africa in reference to
the Macrum incident, and this govern
ment, through Hay and Choate, will be
perfectly satisfied with any explanation
it vouchsafes to make. But congress
should probe the matter to the bottom
and give England to understand in the
most emphatic manner that such despi-
cable conduct will not be tolerated by
the United States with impunity. The
treatment of Mr.. Macrum by the Brit
ish is a national affront. AS an indi-
vidual young Macrum may be an insig-
nifcant parsonage, but as representa-
tive OF the United States he is entitled
to consideration at the hands of the
government he served in a foreign
country. He may not be diplomat Of
much ability, but he certainly had more
experience than Adelbert Hay, the ado
lescent son of his father, who seems. to
be acceptable to the British in the per-
Torrance of his consular duties at Pre-
toria.

in war of conquest and subjugation
In the present war she has been obliged
to be humane, because the Beers could
retaliate with interest If she employs
the Zulus, as she certainly will if hard
pushed, the Beers will arm the Basutos
to meet them, and they will be amply
justified in so doing. From the very
start the British have been trying to get
the savages as allies, according to we'll
authenticated reports, and the next
thing we hear from the dark continent
will be the massacre of women and
children whose husbands and fathers
are fighting the British brigands in the
field. England will not blush at any
deeds OF atrocity perpetrated by them,
but will try to convince the world
through the medium of lying cores
spondents that the savages went on the
war path to avenge their ancient grudge
against the South African burghers.

from their humble homes in Donegal
A local historian says OF the outrages
perpetrated by Landlord Adair: mo
Bulgarian hut, after raid OF Bashi-
bazooks, or Armenian howell, after a
Cossack foray, could present more
wretched spectacle OF desolation than
did those Donegal sheelings, after the
levies had swept the district
This lady from London is mistaken
when she thinks the Irish in this coun-
try are proud of the achievements OF
AngloIrish generals and soldiers in the
South African war. On the contrary,
they are ashamed OF them and look
upon them as traitors to their native
land. AS Father Cronin says in the
Buffalo Union and Times:
"The Irish people the world over take
no pride in the Wcllingtons, the Duf-
FERNS, the Robertscs, the Kitcheners,
the Wolseleys, the Scymours and 9TH
ers OF their kind, because these men
have sold for honors and station their
abilities to the oppressor OF their
country. Ircland's idols are the En-
NETS, the Parnclls, the O'Connclls, the
Mitchels, the Fitzgeralds-who in char
acter and ability were the peers and
superiors OF the intellectual merccna-
ries-whose glory is bought at the price
OF their country's degradation. Emmett,
Parnell, Lord Edward Fitzgerald and
the rest could have held the highest
rank in the empire, but they put aside
selfish splendor to espouse the cause
OF their desolate motllerland."
If Mrs. Adair comes to the North
west we hope she will go away empty
handed SO far as contributions from
Irish women are concerned. We have
nothing to say about aid from Ameri-
can women of English descent" We
have no recollection, however, that
Mrs. Adair and Lady Churchill, of the
Hospital Ship Maine enterprise, did
anything in the American colony in
London to alleviate the sufferings OF
their own countrymen during the war
with Spain. They are more English
than American, and we believe the mis-
sion of the tyrant's widow will not
be crowned with success.

The news from South Africa during
the past week has afforded much de-
light to the loyal subjects of Queen
Victoria. Kimberley was relieved by
General French without encountering
much opposition from the Beers, and
the latter retreated toward Bloemfon-
tein, hotly pursued by Roberts, Kit
chener and Kelly-Kenny, after despe-
rate battle at Modder River, in which
the British suffered heavily. French
left Kimberley after a brief rest and
started out with his cavalry on the
chase of Cronie, who was brought to
bay at Paardeberg and surrounded by
the enemy. In the engagements up to
last Sunday evening the British lost
forty-nine killed and wounded officers.

Connaught to be commander-in-ch chief

tween Paardeberg and Koodo rand for
four days up to Thursday, but the re-
suit OF the fighting is cnveloped in
doubt, though on Thursday at a p. M.
dispatch was received at the war Of
flee in London from General Roberts
to the effect that the Beers had been
driven off in all directions, leaving many
killed and wounded. According to a
special dispatch issued about the same
hour it was General Botha's force on
the way to relieve Cronje that was scat
tered, and the Boer leader in, the West
was evidently holding his position.
The Boer papers of Monday, accord
ing to telegram from Lourenzo Mar
CUES on Wednesday, reported a
brilliant victory over the British at
Modder river by General Dewet, and
Cronje sent message saying he was
safe and that the Gordon was again
around Kimberley, the Beers having
captured thousand cattle and many
provision wagons destined for that
stricken city Cronje is expecting a
reinforcement of 10000 men command
ed by Joubert in Natal, and when these
Transvaalers arrive the tide of war will
turn in favor of the republican troops.
Cronje and Joubert are more than a
match for Roberts and Kitchener and
though the imperial army is much larg-
er than that of the burghers we antici-
pate victory for the Beers. They are
now fighting in their own country and
know every inch of it thoroughly. The
farther the British penetrate into the
interior away from their base of sup-
plies the better will the Beers like it.
After all the growing of the British jim
goes during the week not single can
non has been captured by the invading
army. They boosted of selling 1000
sheep and some stores from the patri-
OTIS, but the Beers took 1000 cattle and
100 wagon loads of rations in return.
The war has scarcely begun, and the
friends of the Beers in this country
(who are legion) need not feel alarmed
for long time yet. The glowing re-
ports of British successes must not dis
courage them in the least. They have
heard so often of British victories since
the opening of hostilities that they
know what they mean. They have
turned out to- be inglorious defeats.
Let them wait patiently for results and
give the British time for counting the
losses sustained in the invasion of the
Orange Free State. There is no danger
that Cronje will surrender, and the next
cablegram that is waited across the
ocean may bring the glad tidings that
the queens soldiers are retreating to-
wards Cape Colony as fast as their legs
can carry them.

In a recent lecture in New York,
Miss Maud Come said: elm every
meeting that I attended in Ireland adj
vised the young men of the country
that it was treason for man to wear
England's red cloth of shame, and to-
day the recruiting officers are securing
the warehouses for recruits" She could
not perform more meritorious work
than to dissuade young Irishmen from
taking up arms for the subjugation of
the Beers. The latest report from Ire
land is that farm laborers are being
discharged by loyal landlords because
they would not enlist in the British
army. Being out of work, the laborers
may be strongly tempted to take the
Saxon shilling. Irish Nationalist
should do everything possible to keep
the idle men at home.

Lieut.. Charles J. Vaughan, nephew
of Cardinal Vaughan, has left for
South Africa. His father is colonel of
militia regiment, and so was his
grandfather, who is said to have served
with distinction in the Crimean war.
The London Tablet, official organ OF
Cardinal Vaughan, is authority for the
statement that over two hundred Catho-
lie officers are now serving the queen
in trying to rob the Beers of their indie
pendence. 1t may be all right for Eng
fish Catholics to rob and plumber for
their sovereign, but why Irish Catholics
should join them is more than we can

John Hays Hammond and wife are
delivering a course of TRADES against
Paul Kruger before pro-British audi
ences in this country. Hammond is ar
American of Scotch extraction who was
an engineer in the employ of a Lon
don mining company in the Transvaal
at the time of the Jameson raid. He
participated in that predatory incursion
and escaped getting shot through the
clemency OF President Kruger. He is
now doing the work OF England in the
United States by trying to persuade
Americans into the belief that the
Britons are saints and the Beers are
desperadoes. The present war is con-
tinuation OF the invasion of the Trans
vaal by the British conspirators led by
jameson, Hammond ct al, who ought
to have been hanged.

these have taken the oath of al

impartial than John Hays Hammond,
