IRISH AGITATION.
Important Meeting to Be Held Here
Wednesday.

Wednesday.
To the Editor of The Evening Star.
In view OF your past courtesies in giving
space In your valuable columns concerning
matters or public interest, ! take the liberty
OF presenting for publication some of the
recent phases appertaining to the welfare
OF ireland, which will deeply interest all
lrishmen' and those who sympathize with
them at this momentous juncture
NO better time than the present can we
advocate perfect unity Of those who have
the welfare Of Ireland at heart. TO that
end the undersigned. on behalf of the
United Irish League Of America, extend a
most fraternal invitation to all friends of
ireland to unite with the league to further
promote the welfare of our country. The
irish people at home are the best judges
OF the methods by which they can secure
their best interests and the Tinted Irish
League of America. acting as an auxiliary.
In cooperation with them, can be of much
material assistance q
Coercion has disappeared Political pris-
oners have been released. THE land bill has
been settled. The Irish leaders in this
movement are adjusting between landlord
ana tenant the purchase of the land on
most equitable terms Already over 20 600
farms have been transferred to the tenants
This means that the farmers are united
and becoming great power in Ireland to-
day. his mas been accomplished without
drop of blood shed, or the destruction of
one dollars worth of property. The Sc
quence of this IL. that all has been OBJ
tanned by harmonious action, on moral,
legal and parliamentary lines Never in
the seven centuries of IreIands troubles
has the outlook been brighter or more hope
full than at present.
In money benefits alone Ireland, through
her parliamentary agitation, has wrung
from England since the start of the Land
League movement by Parnell and Davitt in
1879. in cash alone, s9O5, 727 ,376 and the fol-
lowing named reforms, whose financial re-
suits canot be estimated. but which have
worked practical revolution in Ireland:
Franchise act, 1884, securing practically
manhood suffrage; local government act,
1888
This act of 1893 resulted In transferring
practically the entire local government of
Ireland from the hands of the Castle gar
rison to the elected representatives of the
people.
With such plain proof of the effect of
fearlessly conducted Irish national move
ment on present lines. there is every reason
to believe that strong, united and deter
mined effort by the Irish race in support
of the Irish parliamentary party and the
Irish national organization the United Irish
League, will speedily result In the winning
OF Irish national independence.
All true friends of Ireland who are In IA
vor OF the land being owned and governed

by her own people should unite In this
great struggle, by giving their moral and
financial support. Past animosities or diff
ferences Of opinion should be cast aside.
Let the world see that the Irish people of
today can form one solid phalanx OF undi-
vfded patriotism. Let it be seen that by
ignoring petty or personal grievances we
shall, as a united brotherhood, be capable
of governing the land Of our fathers.
There will be a meeting Of the Michael
Davitt Branch of the league at Carroll In
stitute, Wednesday, July 49, at pm, for
the purpose of uniting the friends of Ire
land, and to arrange to send delegates to
the second national convention OF the
United Irish League of America, which Will
be held in New York. August 80 and 81. on
which occasion John E. Redmond, the ma.
tional leader, and strong delegation or
prominent Irish representatives will be
present.

AN OFFICER REPR1MANDED.
What Secretary Morton Wrote to
Lieut. Hogan.


Secretary Morton has written the follow
ing letter of reprimand to Second Lieuten-
ant Reginald ]. Hogan Of the Marine
Corps, recently court-martialed at Annapo-
lis for an assault on a colored man and
resisting arrest, and sentenced to lose five
numbers and to be publicly reprimanded.
The court. however, in consideration of the
officers youth and inexperience in the
service, unanimously recommended the ex-
ercise OF clemency. The Secretary Of the
Navy approved the findings and sentence
of the court but RENTED the loss Of num-
bers.
"This lenient action has been TAKEN"
says Secretary Morton in his letter, "il the
belief that at time when you had enjoy
ed but little opportunity to become ac
quainted with the obligations customs and
traditions of the service you were Detray-
ed in a moment of heedlessness, into con-
duct which your sober judgment must I'M
qualifiedly condemn. and in the confident
expectation that you will take seriously to
heart the lessons of an incident which at
the very outset of your career has imper'l-
ed your standing and prospects In your
chosen profession. Aside from other fca-
lures of the matter, upon which 1t is deem
ed unnecessary to remark, you are especial
ly admonished that one of the first duties
of a commissioned officer is to pay due re-
spect at all times and under all circum-
stances to constituted authority, civil as
we'll as military. Resistance to arrest by
an officer of the law is grave matter I'M
der any circumstances and Is particularly
inexcusable on the part Of officers Of the
military and naval service. who should
recognize in their conduct the propriety of
yielding unhesitating obedience to law, reg
ulations and order, and protesting, If neces-
sary, afterward.
"Unless your future conduct in the service
show that you have appreciated. and will
profit by the humiliating experiences which
resulted in this court-martial, the leniency
extended to you will have been wasted"

Bad Conditions in Iowa Circle.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
I desire to call the attention Of the off,
Gals of this city to the condition of af-
fairs at Iowa Circle. My home Is within
a few hundred feet of the Logan statue,
and frequently cross the park evenings.
1t would appear that the negroes from
Swampoodle, Helrs Bottom, Goat alley
and such localities have taken complete
possession of the park. A lady Is not safe
from insult crossing through the circle
after nightfaN. Nearly every bench Is
occupied by these people, usually from
eighteen to twenty-three years OF age,
MANY of them known to the police as
petty thieves and crap-shooters; of this
have been reliably informed. 1t Is very
seldom a white person can secure seat,
as they are all occupied by the negro
element and the walks are in many in
stances blocked by groups of them, so
that one has to literally crowd a way
through, at the same time being obliged
to listen to profanity and vulgar Ian
guage.
Last night my wife and her sister pass
ed through the park just before dark and
were rudely pushed by two of the black
rascals. On their return walked through
the park, and it was a sight that the
Commissioners should have seen, since
have been told Maj. Sylvester knows of
the condition of affairs here, but will
take no action, for some reason or other.
1t was about S:15 or $3.50, and the path
with negroes that you could scarcely
pass around 1t, while the coping sur
rounding the statue was occupied by the
negroes sitting on it, But that was not
the worst part of it, for on the polished
base of the statue itself were six or eight
young ones from twelve to sixteen years
of age, running around and climbing up
the statue until two or three were cling
ing to the figures Gust below the horse IT
self, some eight or ten feet from the
ground. l was so indignant at this out
rage that 1 started for 18th street to find
a policeman. 1 finally found one, but as
his duties called him elsewhere at the
moment it was nearly half an hour be-
fore he arrived at the circle, by which
time the boys had descended. but were
still sitting the coping. AS soon as
they saw the officer approaching they ran
away.
There is a Waterman there during the
day to keep little children and babies off
the grass, and he performs his arduous
duties boldly and manfully, but he goes
off duty at pm, and from that time un-
til the next morning the circle is without
guardian of any sort There is, 1 am
afraid, but one remedy for this nuisance,
and that is to take the seats from the
park, as l am told, was done some years
ago. Still, if the circle were more bright
ly lighted 1t might have a beneficial eff
feet. E. S. DOUGHTY.

The seamen gunners' course at Newport
has been heightened from three to six
months. The same course at the Washing
ton navy yard has been heightened from
three to four months. Inasmuch as the
course at Washington is usually supplement
tary to that at Newport the change affords
full course of ten months. 1t is planned
that the work at Newport, consisting large

done during the summer months while the
study of gun manufacture at Washington
shall be confined to those months when cold
weather and ice make outdoor work diff
