When they shift the scene
From the autufnns green

There are scenes OF tragic sorrow:
There are moments Of careless gles.

That It's all awry,

NEW YORK. March 1.-THE Wear

says the London correspondent of the
Tribune The pro-Boer demonstration
in the House of Commons when the
news of Lord Methuen's capture was
announced has been taken greatly to
heart by Englishmen, They have been
almost as much Inundated by the Irish
reception OF the disaster as by the dis
aster itself. One Irish nalist has
written to the Times, disassoeiating
himself from the demonstrators, but he
is not an Irish Lacquer, and mis- anti
Boerism is almost certain to cost him
his seat at the next election A great
majority OF the Irish people are strong
ly opposed to the Boer war, end would
gladly see 1t ended by an aeknowl-
edgement Of the independence Of the
South African republics, Speaking at
a Nationalist meeting at Glasgow last
night. John Dillon. NJ, p, called for
cheers for Delarey, and the audience
responded heartily. English Radicals
fail to understand this attitude. They
cannot see that what annoys England
