It was called to express American sympathy for the South African republics. Another object was the raising of funds to care for the ill and wounded within the Boer lines. Ex-Judge George M. Van Hoesen was the presiding officer. On the platform | were more than a hundred vice presidents on “New York Committee to Aid the United Republics.” It was this committee which called this meeting. The Grand Central Palace was filled to | its capacity. The Boer, Free State and American colors were conspicuously dis- played. Letters of regret were read from Goy- arles 8. Thomas of Colorado, E. d of Lafayette College, Easton, Senator George L. Wellington of Maryland and others. Senator Welling- ton s to have be one of the speakers. d sincere regret that the state 1th wo not allow him to at- tend lhe meeting. The first speaker Congressman David souri, who, reasons why of the evening was de Armond of Mis- in mentioning some of the he should sympathize with the Boers, spoke of the causes of senti- | ment. In this connection he said: “There is no special tongue or partic- ular language that can ally us to ty- ranny. Liberty is the dream and aspira- tion,” the noblest hope of all who ever dreamed or hoped for advancement.” Continuing, Congressman de Armond spoke of the talk concerning the alliance with England by the United States. The | mention of this subject was greeted with hisses. ““No British alliance for us” he re- marked. It was fully five minutes before (hmrman Van Housen could restore or- der. This speake was followed by Congress- man Charles Cochran, aiso of Missouri. The speaker mentioned in sarcastic teims the fact that England is often spoken of as ‘“‘the mother of civilization.” He then alluded to the Boers and their fighting | qualities, and declared that they were now fighting the battle of humanity. “Why should England be called the mother of civilization?” he continned. “What has she ever civilized? What has she done for the Boers? What did she do for India? Now there is Alaska; there never was any dispute about the boundary | line up there until a gold mine was | covered. It's the same way in South Africa. This mother of civilization took no interest in that part of South e until diamond mines were Then this pirate nation and gold thi | stepped in and began a warfare for the sake of civilization and liberty." The speaker referred to the battle on fl,,m KKop and was greeted with cheers. ’ ““'hen in the agony of thinking of the | temerity of that handful of Boers going | into_this battle I prayed God that they might hold out long enough so that the [ rice of ‘grape’ might be raised in the ondon markets. There is a God who | overrules battles. and I trust that to him it may seem well that the cause of }ib- tory in this unholy war.” Congressman Cochran said: “Let us give the lie to the brazen { assumption that in any portion of the | United States there exists any sympathy for this unholy crusade.” The following resolutions were unani- mously adoptad: That every nation bas a right to form and LONDON, Jan. 30.

That the right of a nation to regulate its own affairs does not depend upon the number of its population or upon the extent of its territory That the right of the South African republic to regulate its own affairs was not diminished by the convention of 1584 That the naturalization law of the South Afri- can republic is to-day far more liberal than the naturalization law of Great Britain, because in England the Home Secretary has the power to | refuse naturalization in any case without giving a reason. That it is morally wrong and politically ab- surd to aid and abet England in her wrong- doing, because she will lose prestige if she in et Iniquitous attempt to steal and annex the territory of the South African republics. That the much-vaunted English civilization has failed to produce a better soldier than the Boer, a_more willing tiller of the soil. a man more vigorous, a Christian more out, a patriot more unceifish, a citizen better able to protect his home That the South African republics deserve to | be free. That the Boer regards the English dor:na- | ape ated weary tion with horror is proved by his abandonment of his home, his long anc treks, his gallant. his awful sacrifices. That we request the President to see to it that the feeling of the American people with respect to this most wicked war is made known to the British Ministry: and we further request him not to wait until both combatants ask him to act as arbitrator, but to proffer his services. That a cooy of these resolutions be sent to the President of the United States and to every Senator and Representative In Congress. Among those in attendance upon the meeting was Miss Maud Gonne, just ar- | rived from Irelan Alderman Kennedy and Secretary MO v nahan, who were in charge of fina matters, sald that the subscription which had been collected at the meeting would amount to more than $5000. et sosv oy ool PRESIDENT STEYN WELCOMED TO PRETORIA PRETORIA, Friday, Jan. 26.—President Steyn of the Orange Free State and A. Fischer of the executive council of that republic arrived here this morning. They were met at the railroad station by Presi- dent Kruger and other officials, and were cheered while driving to the residence of the President of the Transvaal. The Voiksstem, the official organ the Transvaal, in welcoming the guests of the State. says: “But_for the courageous attitude of the Free State the conditions of the present struggle would be changed. It would have been impossible for the Transvaal to have taken the course followed with such suc- cess.” VICTORIA’S SPEECH TO PARLIAMENT | LONDON, Jan. 29.—The Queen’s speech to Parliament will say that relations with all the foreign states are very friendly, and will express great pleasure and gratification at the patriotism shown by the colonies at a critical time for the troops in South Africa, and at the patriot- in | ng in the empire also express gratifica EDITOR STEAD HAS ADDRESSED THE COMMONS HE HAD JUST A FEW HOURS OF LIBERTY MILITARY PRISONER ESCAPES FROM THE PRESIDIO.
