The arrival in this city Of the dipIo-
matte representatives Of the two Boer
republics right upon the heels OF Prince
Henry has been commented upon in
Diplomatic and State Department circles
as a very shrewd move. and the opinion
is freely expressed that their mission this
time is fraught with more chances of
success than when they visited this city
two years ago. when the friendship theory
toward this country of Great Britain had
not yet undergone the severe and search
ing investigation which it has expert
enced during the last two months. and
which caused its complete collapse.
Some Recent Disclosures.
The publication by the German foreign
office OF the correspondence relating to
the attitude OF IN" foreign representa-
tives in this city toward lhe United
States in regard to the Spanish war. it is
intimated at the State Department. has
considerably cooled the ardor of the most
rabid Anglophle. There is not the same
feeling Of implicit confidence in British
assurances and prCtestatiOns as was Gus
t0maTy previously. The Government OF
the United States. it is declared. does
not look upon Great Britain any longer
as its most disinterestcd friend.
Americans in general never did place
any confidence and reliance in the prom
Uses OF the British ministry. The feelings
Of the American people have found their
expressions in the resolutions Of the State
Legislatures OF Illinois and Colorado. and.
IL is claimed by Boer sympathiers that be-
fore Congress adjOurns there will be six
other State Legislatures that viii lineup

Of Senators and Representatives and cler-
gymen were present and made speeches
against the tyranny and oppression Of
Great Britain against Ireland and South
Africa. Resolutions were adopted request
ing the President of the United States to
intervene IN favor Of the Beers. and 70 OBJ
serve strict neutrality while the conflict
is coins en-
The resolution called upon the President
90 put g stop TO the expectation Of horses
and mules from this country to South
Africa as being conraband goods. ResO-
lUtins to this effect were adopted in almost
every city and hamlet OF the United States
where there is an Irish society organiza-
tion, and there are very few places where
the Irish element is not numerously rep
resented. These resolutions will be sub
mitted to the President Of the United States
and to the respective Representatives n
Congress
The influence Of the Irish element in
American politics is powerful, and II is
not likely that the President OF Congress
will refuse to consider the resolutions pass
cd by them on the anniversary Of Robert
Emmet's birthday.
Church Circles Aroused.
Not only have the Boer representatives
in this country or Boer individuals OF
their friends worked the political end, but
they have also succeeded in creating a
strong anti English feeling in religious or
church circles. Church meetings have
been held in various parts Of the United
States al which the crueIties Of the Brit
ish soldiery toward the Boer women and
children in the concentration camps were
brought before large assemblies in glazing
colors.
1t is stated by Boer sympathizers that
this line CT agitation would not only be
kept up but would in the near future as
sumo more pronounced strength and pro-
portions. From these church bodies pc
utions are also sent to Congress. praying
for Intervention in favor OF the Beers.
Increasing Boer Sentiment.
Since the Boer representatives were
here Two years ago when they called on
President Mckinley. American sentiment
has considerably changed in favor OF the
Beers. r. IS also claimed that the present
occupant Of the White House would look
with favor upon anything that would tend
20 assist the Beers in their endeavors to
gain freedom and independence.
The Beers and their friends express
confidence that President Roosevelt VIII
