IRSH MAYOR GRILLS ENGLAND Tells Audience at Emmet Gathering That Erin Is Ready for Fray. NEW YORK, March 10.—The one hun- birth of Robert Emmet, the Irish pat- riot martyr, was celebrated under the auspices of the Clan-na-Gael to-night by a concert and mass meeting in the Acad- emy of Music. The oration was delivered by Mayor John Daly of Limerick, who appeared on the platform with the gold links of office around his neck. Mayor Daly after thanking the audience in the name of the corporation of Limerick and the people of Ireland for the cordial re- ception given him, -said in part: You may realize the significance of Limer- ick's Mayor addressing you on this memorable occasfon when you leatn that he was invited | to attend a meeting in homor of the Queen less than a year ago. He did not accept that invitation because Limerick's Mayor, Limer- ick’s people or Limerick's corporation had no stomach for honoring England’s Queen. Lim- | erick’s people, however, have a place for their | kindred in America, and selected their Mayor, who had worn ehackles for his country and now wears those goiden links as a reward for his fealty to the old cause, fitting_repre- sentative to send to Chicago and New York. Mayor Daly devoted some time to eulo- gizing the services of Emmet and then turned his attention to the task of scor- ing England for her treatment of Ireland and the South African republics. Along this line he said: The Irish people to-day cannot take to the hilisides because they have no arms and the standing garrison is too powerful. There is plenty of space in South Africa and I can tell you ‘that the new generation in Ireland possesses the spirit of rebellion, and the ex- ample set by the Boérs has made them ready for the fray. od men tell us that the only hope for Ire- land is the burning of London. I am not tak- ing that job because it Is too big a one, but it there is any man who thinks he can go over and do in London what Kitchener s do- ;‘r;g in the Transvaal I will not try to stop im. I believe that there 1s still hope for Ireland because I know that the French Government has during the past five months stowed away more coal than it has used for four years. It the French are storing up coal in that fashion one would naturally believe that they are go- Ing to make it hot for somebody. LA e DO You WANT TO IMPROVE YOUR LIBRARY?

PASTOR AT QUTS Dr. Coyle Resigns From a Denver Presbyterian Church. e Special Dispatch to The Call. DENVER, March 10.—Because the pipe organ was not placed where he wanted it; because the acoustic properties of the church did not suit him; because members of the congregation would not come to evening services, and because the people were scattered over such a wide area as to make it impossible to visit all of them without great difficulty, the Rev. R. F. Coyle, pastor of the Central Pres- byterian Church, to-day offered his resig- nation, to take effect June 1. These were the reasons he gave when he read his resignation at the close of his sermon this morning. The resignation will be accepted. The congregation is very angry at his sudden action. Dr. Coyle was brought to Denver flve months ago from the First Presbyterian Church OfOlkla.nd, California, where he had been for several years. The members of the congregation regard his reasons for resigning as trivial. What is regarded as the real cause was not known until late days ago he had telegraphed his accept- ance of a call to the First Presbyterian Church of Los Angeles, California, to be- gin his pastorate on June 1, the date fixed in his resignation. e DR. COYLE TO COME BACK. Accepts a Call to the First Presby- terian Church of Los Angeles. Oakland Office San Francisco Cail, 1118 Broadway, March 10. Rev. Robert F. Coyle, for nine years pastor of the First Presbyterfan Church of this city, s coming back to this coast. It was given out at the First Presbyterian Church to-day that the former pastor of that church had accepted a call from the First Presbyterian Church of Los Ange- les and that he would leave his Denver home very shortly for the Southern Cali- fornia city. Dr. Coyle left Oakland last fall and bs- hind this Los Angeles call there Is a little story that involves his old church in Oa'- land. After Dr. Coyle had left Oakland for Denver he began to regret his change. He liked Oakland and was liked by h. church and his determination to leave was caused by his feeling that he might do better in a new field of work. He decided flatly that he would o to Denver and that he would listen to no_ inducements from his Oakland church and said so very decidedly. He gave them several months notice, but the Oakland congregation did not secure a new pastor until very recent. ly, when Rev. E. E. Baker of Cleveland accepted a call. The Oakland church waited a long while before extending any call at all, and th= attendance began to seriously syffer from the lack of a regular pastor. In this inter val Dr. Coyle discovered that Denver did not agree with him and at the same time there was renewed in his old congregation a desire to have him return. But before this idea got abroad Rev. E. E. Baker of Cleveland appeared upon the scene and the church decided to extend a call to him. Some of the adherents of Dr. Coyle started a movement to recail Dr. Coyle and when it came to the meet- ing at which a call was to be extended they mustered some 20 votes out of a total of 130 for Dr. Coyle. Some were not sure that Dr. Coyle would come back and final- ly the call to Dr. Baker was made unani- mous, but not until a strong vote had been cast for the old pastor. Now Dr. Coyle will return to the coast and will resume his former prominent po- sition in the church affairs of the State.

WASHINGTON, March 10.—It appears that the trouble at ihe naval observa- | tory s not altogether of a personal na- ture. It invoives the old question of ether the observatory should be under the superintendency of a line officer of the navy or a professional astronomer. | The latter view has been held by the | tronomical profession at .arge and also by such secretaries as .Secretary Tracy | and Secretary Long. This is not founded | upon the finding of persons qualified im the line of the navy or upon any dissat- isfaction with the ncumbent, but upon he fact that the frequent changes of duty | to which naval officers are subject at | short Intervals prevents continuity of ad- | ministration and also uvon the principie | "i the appointment of superintendents sh®lld be made from persons in or out of | the naval service without restriction to any class, and that the observatory | should secure the most accomplished and competent astronomer that can be found anywhere.
