10 ASSIST THE BoERs.
Leading Irish Society of Toledo, O.,
Inaugurates Movement.

Toledo. O., Dec. 31.-The Robert En-
NETT club, a leading Irish society of To-
ledo, has inaugurated a movement to
assist the Beers. This club. in 1898, or
ganized the Emmett guards and offer
ed their services for the war with
Spain. At a secret meeting last night
resolutions were adopted pledging
financial and moral support to the
Beers and Offering men if required.
Fifty-five volunteers offered their ser
vices, lin any emergency in which Eng
land is involved Only single men with
no one depending upon them for sup
port are accepted.
Mr.. Edward Waters. president of the
club, is authority for the statement that
the organization has arms for all who
volunteered, should arms be needed.
Asked about the rumors of an invasion
of Canada, Mr.. Waters said:
When the orders come, it will be our
duty to obey. We have advices that
French and Irish Canadians are in ia
vor of independence, but this comes to
us indirectly"
1t is claimed that the movement is
being directed by ITish-Americans of
national reputation, one of whom, it Is
announced, will visit Toledo during the
week.

IRISH AND AMERICANS PROCLAIM FOR BOERS

that struggle. does it follow that we
have sold our birthright and that the
eagle must not raise his voice except in
honor of the lion?"
Cummings Uses Strong Language.
Congressman Amos J. Cummings
spoke next and referred to Chamber
lains recent change of front, and
! added: Chamberlain is a liar, and
that is not putting it a bit too strong
for three years ago he said the same
things that / have told you tonight"
Mr.. Cummings blamed Ambassador
Choate, among others, for the existing
situation of affairs as far as the posi-
ton of the United States is concerned.
The following resolutions were passed
with a cheer:
Resolved. That we, citizens of New
York, in mass-meeting assembled, con-
denim the action of the British govern
ment and recognize that strenuous
struggle carried on for generation af-
ter generation by the burghers of South
Africa to secure the right to rule them
selves in their own way, as an exam
pie worthy of the embattled farmers
whose valor Won American freedom,
and we recognize that the two sister
republics, whose citizen soldiers have
defeated in a series of pitched battles
the veteran legions of England, have
thus won a title to independence which
all mankind should recognize as valid.
Seizure of Food Supplies.
Resolved, That we protest against
the seizure of American food supplies
in transit to a neutral territory as an
act of inhumanity and a breach of in
ternatioral law, the evident purpose of
which is to accomplish by the starva-
ton of nOn-combatants a result which
the British arms have failed to accom-
plish.
Resolved, That we deprecate the ac-
ton of the Dominion of Canada in
sending troops to defeat the Beers and
protest against any part of this CONT
nent being used as a base of opera
tons for the conquest of free nation
in any part of the world as a menace
to the peace and happiness of the
American people.
Resolved. That we appeal to tie
heart and conscience of the liberty
loving people, descendants of the
founders of this republic and inherit
ors of Washington's fame, and all low
ers of liberty throughout the world to
cast aside all personal and selfish con-
sideration unworthy Of free men. to
extend the hand of fellowship to the
patriots and heroes now so bravely
fighting to maintain their liberty and
to drive the invader from the soil of
the Boer republic, and we hail the vic
tories as the happy augury of the es-
adjustment Of the United States of

Pro-Boer Resolutions By German

Ero-boer resolutions BY German
Americans of Kansas City.
Kansas City, Mo, Dec. 31-Resolu-
tons sympathizing with the Beers in
their fight with Great Britain, and COM
mending Senator William F. Mason of
Illinois for championing their cause
have been adopted by the German
American Citizens association of Kan
sas City. Copies of the resolution,
which follows, viii be forwarded to
Senator Mason, Congressman Sulzer of
New York and Congressman Cowherd
Of Missouri
Resolved, That, believing the cause
of the two republics in South Africa
to be one of justice and right as against
the encroachment of the avaricious
British intruder, we heartily rejoice in
the splendid success thus far attained
by the brave defenders of these two
republics in their several encounters
with the British hireling army, hoping
that entire success may crown the truly
patriotic efforts of the Beers, and that
the oppressor may be deservedly humil-
lated and driven from the soil of South
Africa in disgrace.
Resolved, Further, that we acknowl-
edge with unbounded satisfaction and
delight the course Senator Mason of
Illinois has pursued, and his eloquent
pleading in a speech before the senate
of the United States in favor of the
righteous cause of the Beers; and we
urge him to continue the good work,
and thus assist in developing an intelli-
gent and healthy public sentiment in
regard to this important question of
public policy and the attitude the Unit
ed States government ought to pursue
in the premises -

cause of great distress to us three lit
tie injuns' on the bench by ourselves.
We were all very small, but it is
great mistake to suppose that little
children have no feelings to be hurt.
They may not be able to analyze the
insult and know why it hurts but they
know it hurts. This was 'Coaly
Smiths mistake.
"a thorough flashing with cowhide
does not hurt sensitive boy 50 much
as a slight or laugh at his expense;
and nothing seemed to give 'Coaly so
much delight as to raise a laugh at the
expense of the three little, covering.
bare-shinned wretches on the exile
bench. He relished a joke at our eX-
pense, even when he was not the au-
thor of it.
+" Master said one of these little
boys, master, that boy is calling me
names, sir
land what did he call you, young
ster?'
e" He called me Carthlic, sir
We'll, sonny, amt you one Ha,
hal And the whole school laughed at
the wit of the master.
THE way that dastardly bigot went
back on US caused us for the first time
in our then short life to begin to lose
faith in the honor of man. The expert
'ence Of that day made a wound, and the
scar yet remains although more IMAM
a quarter of a century has passed
away, and the dastardly 'Coaly' may
have gone to his account, unWept, IN
,honored and unhung. yet the citatrice
remains. 'Coaly' was to us the incar-
nation of our public school system, and
we are free to confess we did not like
him or it from that day to this.
There are few 'Coalys'' nowadays,
except in the country districts. They
are DaSSine away like the potato bugs;
the school question has abolished them.
We have no 'Coalys' in our schools Of
Waterloo, and it is to be hoped that
the fresh young hearts of the school
boys and girls of this village will never
DE soured by the gloomy countenance
or the coarse nature and hypocriticaI
cant of the 'Coaly' Smiths"

There was brisk fighting today in the
hillse around Colesburg. The Beers
stubbornly resisted the British at every
point, but gradually retreated.
The British held the extreme position
to the south and east, overlooking the
town. The hills around Colesburg. are
numerous, not in ranges but in groups,
making it very difficult to 'hunt the
Beers out. Sixteen wounded have ar
rived at Arundel.
A special dispatch from Nauwpoort
dated Tuesday, Jan. 2, says the British
command Norvalspont bridge with two
guns and also command the Colesburg
bridge and that the Beers have no way
to retreat except by way of Normberg.
The dispatch adds that big develop
ments are expected tomorrow.
Frere Camp, Jan. 3.-Captain Thorny-
croft's patrol found the enemy in some

presence was discovered by scouts. 1t
is reported that five men and a lieu

Chicago, Dec. 31-A special to the
Times-Herald from Orange City, Ia
says: An entire regiment of soldiers
is said to be en- route from the Dutch
colony in this (SiouX) county to join
the Beers in the Transvaal.
If seemingly well authenticated ac-
counts are to be believed, the organ
izers of the force are shipping the men
out three or four at time by different
routes. The money to hire and equip
them was all raised in or near Orange
City and Sioux Center. Drilling has
been in progress in remote parts of the
county for some time. 1t is said only
picked men have been accepted.

JUBILEE OF HOLY YEAR.

New York, Dec. 25.-ArcfnbiJhoD Cor
rigan has transmitted to the clergy of
the diocese a decree from the vatican,
bearing ON The celebration of the jul
bilee Of the holy year. One effect of the
decree win be to make difficult the
marriage of a Catholic to a Protestant
by a priest in 1900. Mixed marriages.
as they are commonly termed, are Gus
tomarily allowed only by dispensation
of the Bishops, but for the holy year
this power is suspended.
In his circular Archbishop Corrigan
sayl that the Pope suspends special
faculties to ordinaries of dioceses, so
that, at this season particularly, Rome
should be the great fountain of merry
and spiritual favors for the Catholics
of the entire world"
This is understood in Catholic cir
cles to mean that only by applying di-
rect to Rome shall dispensations be
granted during the year 1900

French Sent
False HEarrf1

London, Jan. 3.-The latest advices
from the Colesberg district tend to mod
ify the estimate of General French's
success. The predicted occupation OF
Colesberg had not been accomplished
last evening, while the Beers guns an
nounced to have been silenced were
still active. The war office this after
noon issued dispatch received from
General French under yesterdays date
saying his position was the same as on
the previous day, that with small re-
Inducements he could dislodge the
Beers from Colesberg, and in the mean
time he continued maneuvering.
General Butler continues his night
bombardments and patrol surprises. AS
the 1ugela river is again fordable and
the stretcher- bearers have again been
requisitioned at Durham and Pietermar-
itzburg, there is disposition to believe
that the British advance will not be
long delayed.
1t is reported at Durham that the cap
tured German steamer Bundesrath had
on board five big guns, fifty tons of
shells and $50 trained artillerymen.
Lost a Locomotive.
A special dispatch from Rensberg,
dated Tuesday, Jan. ., says a supply
tram without locomotive was set in
motion within the British lines near
Colesberg and proceeded so near the
Boer position that it was impossible to
recover it, and the British guns there
fore destroyed the trucks. It is slls-
pected that this was the act of trait
or.
The supply train, says another dis
patch from Rensberg, ran into broken
culveTt and was wrecked. The Beers
began looting it and another Rensberg
train was dispatched to the scene in an
effort to recover the provisions. The
Beers opened fire on the troops and the
natives accompanying it. forcing the
second train to retreat after several of
the natives had been killed. The total
British casualties about Colesburg in
two days were six men killed and TWEEN
ty wounded.
