(Now York World Cablegram Special Telegram.) George Moore, tho novelist, vigorously protests against a civil reception to Queen Victoria In Dublin. "Tho reason for tho queen's visit," be says, "Is manifest. If It wero slightly disguised we might bo tempted to forget many things which It would bo treason to forget for moro than a moment. Hut the reason for tho queen's visit Is clearly political. She comes to do tho business which her recruiting sergcanta failed to do; shu conies with tho shilling between her forefinger nnd her thumb and a hag bng of shillings nt her gir dle, wearing tho shamrock for tho creation of a regiment of Irish guards. Above all, the presence of tho queen In Ireland la un doubtedly Intended ns a.brlbo to Irelnnd to abandon tho national for tho Impcrlallstc Idea. "Wo aro proud that the Irish soldier faced tlenth with less fear than did tho Eng llsh soldier, but wo havo no voices to cheer our few countrymen who will return from UUI IUV lUUllll 'U , , ICllllJl I1UIII l0 bring Into bondage llko ours a race ns valiant as ours "With England plighted to tho Imperial Idea, It becomes her destiny ns It became Napoleon's after Austerlttz.

Sho Is about to conquer tho Transvaal and will need an army of CO.OOO to hold It. Tho cry Is, 'Sol diers, moro soldiers!' but tho English soldier Is a degenerate. Tho lean hound hunts bet ter than tho fat one, and tho man who runs England's ridiculous craplro sent the queen to Ireland to recruit. "Tho recruiting sergeant's mission Is not In accordanco with tho queen's ngo nor her desire, but sho possesses such a high sense of a sovereign's duty that sho lent herself to tho stntc's emergency. Wo nil know In Ireland how to honor tho fortitude of this woman without becoming tho dupes of our admiration." Another Version of the Vlnlt. This Is what purports to bo tho true story of tho queen's determination to visit Ire land and glvo tho ordor for tho IrIshtroops to wear tho shamrock on St. Patrick's day: When General Buller' cabled his stirring euloglsm of tho valor of the Irish troops tho ; queon was deeply moved and sho lay awake th . , ht consl(erlnB how beat to ro Landsdowno. commanding thnt nn or- I der bo Issued without delay ordering the wearing of the shamrock by tho Irish regi ments.

At n special meeting of tho Chamber of Commerce today , It was decided to closo all business houses 1 on Monday afternoon to enable tho merchants to attend an open-air meeting on the plaza with tho object of drawing up a I petition to Governor General Davis, demand-I tariff ono way or tho other. Tho agreements wero sent to all towns through Porto Illco, whero llko demonstrations will bo held. Tho feeling of uncertainty regarding tho tnrlif holds business practically at a stand still, the merchants being afraid to order goods or to advance funds on tho planters' accounts. Tho meeting today was conducted lu a calm and businesslike manner. The merchants hcio will bo satisfied to ac cept any decision of congress, cither free trade, tho 23 or 15 per cent tariff, but tboy nsk for a settlement of the question, so that business activity may bo resumed. They de cided to take this unparalleled step only after mature deliberation. Sixty country women marched from Nar nnjlto, nrrlvlng last evening, nnd petitioned Governor General Davis to suvo them from starvation and to provido work and food. Tho women presented a. most pitiable sight. They wero barefooted and ragged, half naked, dust covered and weary from their Journey. Somo of them were lame. All were discouraged. Petition Tells n Sad Story. Tho petition which they presented tells the story of the depressing tlmco, no work and tho prlco of rice, beans and bread beyond reach, fruits destroyed and tho re lief supply discontinued, bringing them and others whero they enmc irom almost to starvation. General Davis promised relief to the party and requested the mayor to provido trans, portatlon.

Many people bcllovo that tho visit of the queen to Irelnnd is a preludo to measures of great moment for Ireland. Upon this point I nm not sanguine, but ono thing I can confidently say to Irishmen and to tho friends of Ireland In America: No pallia tion cart settle tho Irish natlnnnl question. Wo will gladly nccept all wo can get so as to strengthen our hands, but nothing can ever bo accepted by us as final aud satis factory excopt tho unquestioned recogni tion of our nationality and of our absolute right to govern ourselves and to control the destinies of our nntlou."
