DUBLIN, June T.-(Special Cablegram to
The Bee)-At a meeting of Dublin orange
men held recently an empnatic protest was
made against the retention OF Sir Anthony
MacDonnell. Rev. Dr. Monatt presided.
The chairman said that the Orangemen
had nothing against Mr.. Long, but they
could not feel safe while Sir Antony Mac
Donnell remained at Dublin castle. He
believed that Mr.. Long would dismiss Sir
Antony If it were in his power to do So
Canon OConnor proposed long resolution
protesting against the retention of Sir An
tony MacDonnell as under secretary for
Ireland with co-equal authority with the
chief secretary as being IA menace to the
loyal and law-abiding inhabitants of Ire
land and an incentive to the lawless and
criminal to terrorize and deprive the weak,
the isolated and peaceable citizens of their
rights as subjects of the British empire"
The resolution went on to refer to secret
consultations with the presidents of the
United Irish league" and ended with an
expression of the intention of the Orange
men of Dublin ito appeal to constituencies
of England and Scotland against this cruel
system of misgovernment and deliberate
treachery"
llS CIldlEIndn was ABOUT 10 put Ine TeBO-
luton when Mr.. Wood secretary of the
Irish Reform association, and Captain
Shaw-Taylor asked for leave to address
the meeting. This was refused, and as Mr..
Wood persisted in speaking, he was seized
by several stewards. The resolutions were
then passed by acclamation.
Teachers Are Angry.
Loyalists are dissatisfied with Lord Lon

disloyal conduct OF a number of Irish teach.
ers at u recent dinner at Sligo. The facts
are undisputed, and it cannot be disputed
that active disloyalty prevails among a
large section of the nationalist and Roman
Catholic teachers. These teachers are paid
by the state and at present are making
large claims upon the state for various
improvements in their position. The OF.
fense of the men who dishonored the toast
OF the kings health at Sligo was an Of
Tense not merely against loyalty and gooc
taste, but against the rules which govern

Protestant teachers are practically all 10y
alists. and although a certain number OF

and are not reported as having made any

majority, 1t may be taken as certain tha
every one Of them disapproved of It. TIL,
Dublin Metropolitan National Teachers as

ber of Protestants, has adopted the fol
lowing resolution:
That We condemn in the strongest man

Long Replies to D1nraven.
Mr.. Long, the new chief secretary 70
Ireland, is not afraid to take even q ma
like Lord Dunraven to task. In an inter
view he said:
Lord Dunraven made a speech at Man
chester recently which flied me wit
ernment Of Ireland has been surrounde
py misrepresentation and suspicion. 1t ha
Deen accompanied Dy muCh in Connectio
with British statesmanship that many Wh
believe in plain dealings must regret Bu
II Is not in the interest of the best ele
ments in public lie that a man VINO ha
been associated through his whole caree
with certain political party should sa,
as Lord DunraVen declared at Manches
ter, that the government gave Ireland onl
sorrow and no prosperity, that the best {
the country was fleeing from IL as from
| plague stricken city, and that the Iris
birtn rate was the lowest of any country
the civilized world. England, IL is Claimed
, is responsible for this.
Replying TO Lord Dunraven's assertion
Mr.. Long said that since 1895 the Britis
) Imperial Parliament had passed no fewt
than forty-one measures which had Il
their object the amelioration Of the cond
: tion of the people of ireland. The Irish De,
-. pie and the Irish government had come

contributions out OF their liberality TO a
the Irish people to develop their industri,
and improve their condition and the Rri
