matte language to 5000 men and women
in Mechanics Hall tonight by the Irish
ENJOYS, Hon. John P. Redmond, Hon.
P. A. McHugh and Hon. Thomas
O'Donnell.
This great gathering was directed by
the United Irish League and the pre-
siding officer was William Lloyd Car
rison. His address was well in keeping
with the sentiment of the evening. Mi.
Garrison said
"At a time when powerful nations
are sitting the independent aspira-
lions of weaker ones. when the clamor
of commercial greed browns the voice
of conscience and of humanity, it is es-
pecially fitting that we would welcome
the distinguished guests to the city of
Boston Although representatives of
small country and diminishing popu-
lation, the rapacious government OF
Great Britain finds in them and in their
associates stubborn obstacle to i'm
perial greatness. The element of JUS
tice, nerving the outraged champions
of liberty to heroic deeds, IS an ally
more potent than ships and regiments
in Khaki.

ireland and South Africa, common
victims of English wrongs, are separ-
ated by wide seas and the barrier OF
language. Happily the sturdy Burgh-
ers of the Transvaal and the orange
Free State are able to speak through
~. Of
with uncompromising effectiveness. IL
is to the honor and glory of Ireland
that in this crisis her representative
sons have stood as a bulwark for free
dom.
ut is cheering to see Irishmen again
in solid phalanx with reunited front.
Mr.. Garrison expressed hope that
anti-English demonstrations IN TINS
country will be intelligently directed
against the real enemy, the autocratlc
and plutocratic class now holding po-
litical control in England, and that
general recognition will be made OF
that better England, termed pro-Boer
and traitors, typified by John Morley,
Frederic Harrison, John Burns, Miss
Emily Hobhouse and DR.. Spence Wat
son.
Mr.. Redmond was the first speaker
and in his opening he referred to his
John Boyle O'Reilly presided. Since
that time, he said, he had been engaged
In and out of the House of Commons,
in many countries and in the prison cell
for the Irish cause. He gave detailed
account of the work of uniting the
various factions which has resulted in
the United Irish League He and his
colleagues had come to America to pro-
claim three things:
First, the unity of the Irish race;
second to explain the policy of the
United Irish League; third, to ask for
the moral and the material support
from the Irish race in America, from
their descendants and the American
people themselves.
Mr.. O'Connell, who next was intro
duced. told of the object OF the Irish
National League, reviewed the method
of selecting Irish members of parlia-
ment, and referred facetiously to his at
tempt to instruct the members of parlia-
ment in the Irish language.
Today he continued, ireland is an
Irish Ireland, whose sons respect her
past, respect and value her products
and bar everything that comes from
England
The speaker then sketched what has
been wrung from England during the
past 20 years by unity, energy and self
sacrifice I'VE are not cowardly enough, P"
said MT. q DOnQeU, TO IudhG any SldlG-
mont in this free republic that We would
not make in ireland or before England's
pclicemea in the House of Commons. We
Should be unworthy of freedom did we
counsel tame submission to intolerable
wrongs We have not come to preach
any such doctrines.
q appeal to Irish parents in America to
do their duty, to cultivate an Irish ma
tional sentiment and to instruct their
children in the history of our beloved
country"
Mr.. O'Donnell also gave a greeting to
the audience in his mother tongue. Mr..
McHugh spoke on the bright outlook for
the Irish people. and said they must fol-
low the policy of Parnell. He said that in
Ireland there were only two factions-one
for the Irish people and the other against
them. He paid a tribute to Mr. Redmond,
