Iiik Scrneniil Alleged
Motive Is Grntltude.
(Copyright, 1000, by Press Publishing Co.)
LONDON, March 17. (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

"With England plighted to tho Imperial
Idea, It becomes her destiny ns It became
Napoleon's after Austerlttz. There can be
no turning back now. Sho necdB soldiers to
fill up tho gaps which Boer bullets havo
made In tho Irish regiments. 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

I der bo Issued without delay ordering the
wearing of the shamrock by tho Irish regi
ments. Both wore wholly tho queen's own
conceptions, according to the story.
""The shamrock ord.c"rar bitterly disnp
proved by the War ofTlco. Ion Malcolm, M.
P., tho Scotch tory, had Informed Arthur
Balfour two days before that ho proposed to
nsk tho Houso of Commons for the shamrock
concession, but Balfour dissuaded him. say
ing it would raise a most difficult, miscmev

much Impressed with the heroism and reso

Davis Is very favorably Imprcfaed with

SAN JUAN, P. K March 17. 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. His reply was that there was
not a peso In tho treasury nnd that tho
pollco were yet unpaid for their last two
months' work. The. party of women dis
persed quietly, some retracing tbclr steps
afoot, others begging easier conveyance to
Naronjlto, which Is twenty miles from San
Juan, n portion of tho road being almost
Impassable. Similar parties' nro expected
from other towns. Tho roads are dotted with
tho wandering unemployed and people are
reported dying of starvation at Inland points.

Hearing a harp without a crown, regarded

London, In fact. Is green mad. Tho mo

Tho Times openly nows that tho object
of appropriating tho shamrock Is to
"thereby transform what has boon regarded
lu Ireland us a symbol of disloyalty Into

Sentiment of I.emlcrN,
Tho following sentiments rolntlvtl to St.

In London:
"lh our hour of Joy, ns In our times of
bitterest trial. Irishmen nt homo turn with
undying affection to our Irish-American
brethren, whoso devotion to tho old coun
try neither tlmo nor dlstnnco can quench."
T. P. O'Connor.
"Irishmen In their struggle for national
self-government cordially grcut tho major
ity of tholr race who have found freedom
under tho slurs and stripes" Justin Mc
Carthy. "St. Patrick's day, 1!00. Tho position of
tho Irish nutlonullsts Is qulto clearly de
fined. They nre strongly ngnlnst this war
and would rejolco to seo 'the defent of
England, but at the name tlmo thoy find It
Itliposslblo to restrain somo feeling of
prldo In tho gallantry of tho Irish soldiers,
even though tho causo In which they aro
fighting has not their sympathy. 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
