mittance OF $4,000. This makes a
total sent during the past six weeks OF
SOC. 900 OF the American dollars y
which have caused adverse comment
b, a section OF the British press. An
nouucement OF the sending OF the
money TO help Mr.. Redmond and the
Irish national party to fight the general
election contest" was accompanied by
the following statement from National
Treasurer Fitzpatrick:
Not for many years has there been
such n generous and prompt response
to the request OF the Irish leaders for
help in an election struggle as that
which has been forthcoming on the
present occasion.
THE denunciation OF America and
Americans by the tory press has acted
as an incentive to Ireland's friends IN
Boston TO help the cause along,
such as nothing else could have pro-
yided. "
