June last upon the invitation of the Natonalists
of Ireland. and attacked for the speech by the
organs Of the Parliamentary party, which declared

Last nights meeting was intended as an answer
to that charge which formally denied by the
adoption of resolutions that contained also decla-

Mr.. Cohalan, in moving the resolutions. declared;
''In spite OF our Secretary Of State John Hay: in
spite of Ambassador to England, Joseph Choate.
the great majority OF the people of this country
will assert that England is still great an enemy
Of America and American institutions as she was in
the time of Washington and as she has been ever
since"
When the names of John Hay and Joseph Choate
mentioned there were Kisses in many parts OF
the auditorium. which was crowded with tho friends
Of Ireland, and the sentiment loudly applauded
Mr Heating. in impassioned address drew a
contrast between the reception which was ac-
corded him the representative Of the C1an-na
Gael Of America. with whose principles he said
the people OF Ireland were in accord, and the lack
Of welcome accorded the King. He declared that
great crowds greeted him and cheered the senti-
ments which he expressed IN favor Of Ireland's
freedom. and his advocating OF the use of force
to deprive England OF her power. He added:
When the decorations were hung out FOR tho
Kings visit II was necessary to place under each
lamppost at least one policeman to protect the
decorations My friends, 1t was a strange expert
ence for the King, but it a stranger EXPERT
ence for me to be greeted with great shout hen
advocated physical force. ~
The majority OF the Irish in Ireland are desirous
Of Irish freedom, and believe Il can be accom-.
plished only by force. They are educating the
young men and children to believe that a nation
1t is governed by its own freely chosen represen
tatives. They will in the future give demon
stration of that belief.
The King viii go back to his palace in St James
knowing that IL Ireland the spirit Of the Fenians
stl lives He knows that as long as the sun

Referring again to the reception extended TO him
the representative of the Clan-na-Gael OF Amer
lea Mr.. Heating said:
IF such sent across the Atlantic could re-
ceive such a welcome. what a welcome would
twenty-five thousand men receive sent across with
Mausers their shouIders?"
