former chairman of the then dominant
wing Of the Irish parliamentarians, ap-
ueared here to-day on the same platform,

in Irish history. For the first time in a
decade he had the pleasure, he remarked

genuineness Of the reunion.

speaker. THE Irish parliamentary party
is determined to let the dead past bury
its dead. At the very moment, after the
chivalrous reception TO the queen in Ire
land, when an opportunity presented It
self to cement the feeling between the
two countries. Lord Salisbury has mis-
represented Irish claims with cynical and
brutal frankness. offering an absolute nom
possumus TO the demands OF Ireland.
His Iordship spoke Of dangers ahead
of the empire II the forces he mentioned
were to dash on British shores there Is
one spot where they would not be re-
ceived as enemies or invaders.
He advocated the formation of rife
clubs. but he will not permit Ireland to
enlist volunteers to bear arms His pro-

concerned, It is purile and absurd.

take. This task is again 10 make II in
convenient and dangerous TO withhold
Irish rights. II not by Cancellation and
appeals to loyalty that the grievances of
Ireland will be remedied."
Mr.. Dillon followed referring to the
pleasure he felt in meeting Mr.. Redmond
on common ground, and said that the real
significance of the reunion would not be
understood until after the general cleo
tons
The meeting adopted with enthusiasm
resolutions congratulating the party on
reunion. pledging loyal support to the poll
icy inaugurated by Parnell and calling
upon the Irish people to support the
United Irish League.

the Beers will retreat TO Pretoria, but
there appears to be a growing distrust in
the Transvaal government. In a word,
the backbone OF the Boer resistance
seems TO have been broken. The burgh-
ers are fighting without their previous
stubbornness They seem ready to retreat
on the slightest pretext.
The prisoners, even the Transvaalers,
appear glad to have been captured. They
say they are sick of a war which can
have only one end. Several have ex-
claimed 1--WE have lost our liberty, but
why should we lose our lives?
Berlin is Surprised.
BERLIN. May l3-The occupation OF
Kroonstad by Lord Roberts, without re-
sistence. has caused great surprise here.
The military expert OF the Lokal Anzeiger
finds an explanation in the fact that
may Of the Beers have deserted. He
says;
Lord Roberts advance was splendidly
executed It is worthy to be placed be-
side the Kandahar expedition. The situa-
ton is now changed so greatly in favor of
the British that the fate of the Beers
is settled"
President Steyn's movement eastward
is interpreted as confirming the rumors
of chickering's between Transvaalers and

bOtR GRIEF FOR CRONJE.
WOULD NOT BELIEVE FIRST RE-
PORTS OF HIS SURRENDER.
When Finally Convinced Their
Emotion and Wrecked Faith In
His Prowess Was Overpowering
with Him Went a Great Hope.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.)
LONDON, May 5-The Daily News cor
respondent, A @. Hales. who was taken
prisoner by the Beers and returned by
them % General Gatacre. sends his paper
an account Of how the Beers received
the news Of Cronje's surrender. He was
at Burgersdorp when the news came
through. He writes:
When the news came. the folks would
not believe It. They would just as soon
have believed that the sun could fall
from the heavens and leave the earth in
darkness as that Cronie. the iron-wiiled,
tiger-hearted Cronje, could throw down
his arms. Had the news came that he
had made mad rush at our guns and
persisted with all his men around him
they might have believed it-believed it
and wept, and even as they wept they
would have sworn to avenge him But
they would not. could not, and they did
not believe that he. the man in whom
they had placed their faith. had surrend-
cred with thousands of his men.
But at last the truth became known;
some who had escaped from Cronje's
lager brought in the fearful news and
then the stolid looking fighting men
broke down. They wept like boys, great
rugged men dashed their rifles on the
ground and spurned them with their
boots, whilst down their sun and wind
tanned faces tears poured steadily, 9th
ers took up the news sadly, with chins
dropping on their chests. with hard set
faces while with passionate pain, too
deep for woEds, they stood leaning on
their rifles, with hands hard gripped, IN
I'll one would think the frightened muscles
would leave the impress of the straining
fingers upon the cold steel Others
crowded together and looked dumbly
from face to face, like cattle foregathred
TO the shambles. The blow had stunned
them.
ITO them Cronje was something more
than a man; he was an Idol; what the
great Corsican was TO the French soldiery
after the battle OF Austeriitz, so Cronte
was to these rude farmers. Had Paul
Kruger betrayed them to their foes for
the sake OF British gold they would not
have felt the shock as they felt this one
mans surrender. II Cron1e had loved his
country half as well as his country loved
him he would have marched right on TO
the point of British bayonet on that
and have yielded up his life In order that
the memory OF his name might have re-
manned as a watchword on the lips ana
hearts OF his gallant yeoman soldiery.
when the crash came, when the Beers
knew for a certainty that Cronje had
yielded they felt that their idol was shat
tered. He had been to them as God
fashioned out OF marble. they found him
at last 20 be only a man made out OF mud.
ana when he fell the Cape Dutch cause
and the Orange Free State fell with him.
When he laid down his arms he launched
a thunderbolt into the Boer camp which

Industrial Council Meets.

During the afternoon the industrial coun-
ell held an enthusiastic meeting and
adopted resolutions sympathiZing with the
street car men and ordering boycott OF
the railway company. The resolutions re-
quest the heads of the different unions
represented in the council TO instruct their
members not to ride on the cars. and urge
the members of these unions, working IN
the railway company's power houses and
shops in whatever capacity to strike, in
sympathy with the street car men. The
resolutions go as far as to request the
union musicians. who furnish music at the
parks controlled by the company, to re-
fuse to play for the daily concerts.
The industrial council is composed of
ffty-three different unions outside Of the
building trades. Each OF these unions
were represented at today's meeting by
two delegates.
