William O'llrlen, M. P., the moving spirit of the leuguc, bus telegraphed tho following Htatemenl explaining and Justify ing this novel policy; "Tho resolution to boycott tho English Parliament in order to attend to tho busi ness of the national convention of the United Irish league, our own national 1'arllament In Dublin, Is undoubtedly a new departure. It emphasizes the fact that tho Irish question has entered upon a now phase, In which Ireland has a sovereign contempt for English arrangements and English opinion. "Tho dominant noto of the new move merit Is that Iroland has reorganized her forces and purged tho Irish party of fac tlons by her own courage and resources, with scarcely any assistance from abroad. Bhe mentis to convlnco England now that she Intends to completo tho consolidation of Ireland's own Parliamentary forces, without troubling herself In the least nu to what tho English Parliament says or does. "The empty Irish benches at Westmin ster will bo tho best of all reminders to Englishmen that Ireland occupies tho post flon of a separata und hostile country which will either havo to bo conciliated or conquored over again. "Will Not Forget Kniclund. "Iroland will not lose by this policy of abstention any opportunity of effectively worrying England. All that could bo dono at Westminster would bo to renew the pla tonic protest against tho Doer war. This protest can bo mado In our own separata legislature In n manner that will strike England harder and arrest more attention In Buwpe uud America. -. . . "Tho national convention will bo the In dispensable corallary of tho general election. It Is tho pcoplp who havo created tho new Irish party who will havo to suppport It and It Is tho people, through this .most demo cratic of all national conventions, who must lay down tho rules for tho formation, dis cipline and program of tho party. If Ilealy chooRes to go to Westminster and advirtlso himself by a separato demonstration ho wilt go there as an open rebel ngalnst tho na tional convention and tho now party. No body will pay any further attention to him. "As soon as the convention has dono Its work wo will havo for the first tlmo In ten years a compact fighting body of parliamen tarians, freo from cranks and traitors to tho organization, at work In tho country and In a position toco-operate In making English rule Impossible, and a fighting fund to which tho Irish pccplo will contribute freely, whether thoy recclvo any help from tho out side or not. "When tho British Parliament begins Its real work In February Ireland will bo able to troublo England's dreams both In West minster and in tho country, and In a way nobody could havo attempted slnco tho Tar null Rpllt. "In tho meantlmo Ireland wilt occupy tho position of a separato country, doing her own business and knowing her own mind. "WILLIAM O'BRIEN."

NEWEST THING IN BOATING (irlmshy Trmvlrr Itainiiii'd by Another Grimsby Trawler In ItcvciiKC for ' Alleged Insult. LONDON, Nov. 24.

It appears that tho captain of tho trawler Balmoral Castle became face tlous at tho cxpeuso of tho captain ot tho trawler St. Paul, who Immediately put a full head of steam and charged on the llulmoral Custle. Ily nklllful maneuvering a collision was averted. Hut again tho furious skipper ot the St. Paul charged his enemy. Again tho llulmoral Castlo skipped away. Maddened and enraged at his fail ures tho captain of tho St. Paul once mora mado straight at his enemy's trawler. Tlilo tlmo ho crashed Into Its starboard quarter, The shock threw down tho ramming skip per from his wheelhouse, but, picking him self up, ho backed away, shouting songs ot victory. Tho Balmoral Castle was almost sunk and tho captain of the St. Paul will probably havo to pay high for his exhibition of naval tactics.

BERL'N Government Works at Hemfeld Work- Inn Day and Mailt to Ileplnce Khakl Cloth, Which In Not Suited to Cfcilna Use. BEIILIN. Nov. 24. Tho Reichstag dc- bates this week on tho China Indemnity bill evolved a mass of Interesting facts showing conclusively that Emperor William's per sonal China policy of tho last hIx months Is cither wholly or partly disapproved by nearly the cntlro nation, as evidenced by the fact that every party leader has thus expressed himself, even tho extremo con sorvatlvus, but now that tho Holchstag, unless It la willing to precipitate the grav est kind of a conflict, which It Is not, must needs appropriate tho sum already ex ponded. Another even more noteworthy fact Is that tho Holchstag for the first tlmo slnco Its creation indulged in freo nnd un restricted criticism of tho emperor's words and acts, every party sharing therein without onco being Interfered with by tho president ot tho house. This Is regarded by leading parliamentarians as an lrapor tant Main for Germany. Further political development was that it was remarkable that somo of tho most severe criticism of his majesty's un measured "troop speeches" camo from con scrvative speakers. Tho Itclchsbott, which lo an extremely loyal, conservative paper, onco moro referring to tho "no quarter" speech, and personally apostrophising tho emperor, warns him henceforth to mind his words moro, saying he must not fotget that "every word goes into the world and Is subject to the world's criticism." Baron Wangenhcim's mysterious remarks on Thursday about "unconstitutional in fluences ceaselessly working upon tho em peror, poisoning his mind and' destroying tho nation's confidence in tho monarch," aro now interpreted by a number of papers to mcaa that his majesty lends his car to industrials, commercials and scientists, which the National Zettung considers to be the best way for his majesty to learn tho sentiments of the different classes an! not only thoso ot the nobility and agrarian estate holders. The liberal press takes Baron von Wang enhelm to task 'on tne .subject. From 'an authoritative source the cor respondent of tho Associated Press fluds tho Reichstag is composed ot tho following party representatives: Center, 106; so cialists, 67; conservatives, CI; national ists, 51; Frcsslnnige volks (Itlchtor's), 27; Fresslnntgo veroln gung, 13; relchsl, 21; south German volks, 7; antl-scmltei, 15; Poles, 14, and tbo rest scattering. Emperor on Xtw Motto. Tho emperor's address yesterday to tho marine recruits almost exclusively rc forcd to China. He proudly mentioned tho new motto coined by a foreign com mentcr, viz.: "Ocrmans to the front," uddlng: "My eons do not break their oath ot obedience sworn to mo." Thero Is great Krugcr enthusiasm here. Tho papers are commenting approvingly on tho Boer statesman's reception in France and arrangements have been made by tho German committee to send 1,000, 000 postal cards, prettily illustrated, ten dering Mr. Krugcr tho sympathy of tho German nation, for distribution by tho Transvaal consul general at Paris. Tho 'Voerwarts this afternoon editorially says: "Therein lies much hypocrisy aud national hatred towards England." Tho government cloth works at Hcrsfeld are at work day and night manufacturing eray uniforms for the German troops In China, In lieu of tho present khakl, which has turned out to be unsuitable. WUh actlvo interference of tho Prussian minister of worship, Dr. Studt, Itcv. Mr, Dickie, pastor of tho American church here, has finally overcome all the obstacles placed by the Charlottenberg authorities In the way of the erection of a new Amerl iau church here. Mr. Dlcklo sails for New York In order to ralso further funds, Im mediately after tho Thanksgiving dinner at the Kalserhof. Special Thanksgiving services will ho held in the American church tomorrow. Androw D. White, the United States am bassador, lectured this evening qn Tolstoi before tho Berlin Women's club. In the Reichstag today Herr Aucr, social democrat, spoke moderately but flrraty to the Interpellation anent the Pnsadowsky Bucck affair. Count von Buelow replied briefly, recognizing Herr Auer's moderation. Ho frankly admitted the act complained ot was a blunder nnd exonerated Count Posa- dowsky-Wehner completely, leaving all tho blamo on Horr Woedtke, who has been transferred to a provincial admlnlstratlvo position. JOHN OLIVER H0BBS SCORES Sirs, CrulRle'H Aer Piny n Literary If ,nt a Dramatic Snccess In London. (Copyright, 1600, by Press Publishing Co ) LONDON, Nov. 24. (New York World Ca blegramSpecial Telegram.) Mrs. Cralglo's new comedy, "Tho Wisdom of tho Wlso," has provoked a lively controversy, its bril liant humor, clevornocs and artistic value are universally admitted, but the critics aro at odds over Its dramatic force. On tho second night tho audience was far moro favorable than on the first, which gives color to George Alexander's complaint that an organized hostile clique was ln the pit on tho former occasion.

Tho bitterness with which tho London Times attacks, every moe mado by Wnshlngton lu Chlueso nut ters seems to Increase dully and Is nil the more surprising on account ot tho attitude of the British Foreign ofllce. The prlnul- ples laid down In Secretary Hay's latest uotn weru given to a reprcsontatlo of tho Associated Press by a British oltlclal be fore the reception of Mr. llaVuiiotu as voicing the opinion of tho nrR'2abluet. Yet the Times comes out todaj,f a vig orous protest ngalnst the Id ?-.r. Hay's ptlnlcpletf being considered sirring to j4iir F.iug, jcd Sta.es, tho Cincinnati speech of tho Chinese minister to tlV after saying that hli promj kllho Lnttcd Studs better commercla v.liccs when )o countries, ptacu Is rt stored would, bo resented as an Injur paper udds: "But Wu Ting Fang buj havo kuown his audience. All tho etft an Infill- cstlal Amerlcun paper Is that Wu Ting Fang knows that' frlcans, llko all others, give their own Interests first place" Tho Times then compares this attitude with that of LI Hung Chang on his trip around tho world, during which, It Is as serted, ho acted on tho conviction that pecuniary sclf-lntcrcst was the sole guiding prlnclplo of the peoples and governments, "which proved unsatisfactory recipients ot tho multitudinous promises which he tailed to redeem." Secretary Hay Is taken sovercly to task for daring to differ from thu demands as now formulated. From another source comes another striking, Impartial confirmation ot tho American views. II. J. Whlgman, tho newspaper correspondent and golf player, well known In America; who Is now repre senting the London Morning Po3t In China, cables from Shanghai as follows: "Tho I'ekln farco continues. Whoa I left all tho legations were trusting LI Hung Chang. It was believed tho court would return to I'ekln and that any attempt on tho part of tho dowager empress to arrest Prince Tuan would bo absurd. Prlnco Chwang, who was arrested, Is simply Prince Tuan's scapegoat. It Is obvious, therefore, that tho court will not return to Pckln. It can only bo attacked during tho winter through tho Yangtso valley." SPEAKS FOR THE SECRETARY Germany's Imperial Chancellor Suys Accascd lli'Hil of Interior htuudn Illicit lu Ills Kutecni. BERLIN, Nov. 24.

Therefore, notwithstanding the good faith In which tbo officials concerned acted, he did not hesitate to describe tho courso adopted as being a mistake. This statement called forth applause. Tho chancellor proceeded to say ho was In full agreement with tho secretary of tho Interior, "whoso work and churacter, In spite of all attacks, I highly esteem." Ho added: "I am of the opinion that such means should not again bo resorted to. This view has been communicated to the department concerned. I will not allow such matters to havo any personal consequence. Tho wholo manner In which tho Lulpslc Volks Zoltung published tho nffalr clearly bo trayed a design against certain personages and tho trend of their economic policy, condemn such intrigues and shall not al low my decision to he In any way Influenced thereby." Loud cheers from tho right and center aud an uproar among tho socialists fol lowed this announcement. GLAD TO GET RID OF THE PAST Duke nnd Start nuchexs of for United lo See Papa.

CRITIC'S BITTER ATTACK ON KITCHENER Clmi-ne That the HiikIIsIi fimrrnl Meditates a Wholesale Massacre of the llorrs If It Can lie Done Unobserved. LONDON. Nov. 24. Mr Kmgcr's triumph ant pasfnge from Marseille to Paris Is regarded with curious and unexpected In dltfercnco in Groat Britain. Every detail of tho remarkable ovation has been read with interest, but tho underlying feeling hero Is more of amusement than Irritation Tho nation that boiled over with fury when Qucon Victoria was caricatured by Parisian Journalists takes tho French homago to its urch-enomy as an exhibition of inevit able gallo enthusiasm, not llkoly to af fect International Issues or crcuto any moro serious friction than nlroady exists among tho populace ot (he two countries. Tito recognition of Mr. Kruger as being still president of tho Transvaal by both tho French government and tho queen of Holland, culls forth from the Westminster Gazette tbo remark that this npparont unfriendliness is duo to Great Britain's own fault in not communicating to the powers thu annexation ot tho South Afri can republics. So long as this Is not done, Mr. Krugcr, according to this English au thority, has a perfect right to bo treated ns a sovereign traveling Incognito. Tho fnlluro to notify tho powers, tho same paper dec arcs, militates still moro seriously against Great Britain, for, until this In tornnttonal formality Is observed, no right oxlstB to treat tho Inhabitants of tho Boer ropubtlcs as rebels. Anticipate Dreadful Atrocities. Tho forthcoming promotion of Major Gen oral Lord Kitchener to a lieutenant gen cralehlp cxllcits from Charles Williams, one of tho leaders of tho war critics, tho bit terest Indictment, of that general ever published ln England. He declares Gen oral Kitchener meditates a reckless mid ruthless extermination of tho Boers, hop ing to executo his atrocities amid silence, llko that of tho tomb ot tho Mandl. Ho be lloves tho British officers and men will not enduro this nnd that Kitchener will stund rcycaled to the country as a scourge Inexorably, Mr. Williams apologizes to Satan for mentioning him In.'illelamo breath with Kitchener and maintains that tho return of several general officers and tho removal of General Kelly-Kenny from Blocmfontoln confirms the suspicion that thoy would "havo nothing to do with Kltch oner's dirty work." It Is almost needless to say that this bitter attack by no means represents tho avorago opinion. What ex ercises Great Britain moro than tho pro gress of tho war ln South Africa and Mr Kruger'a visit to France, Is tho Illness of tho czar. Tho shadow of tho hear couchant Is ever present ns a sourco of dread and suspicion lo tho nvorage British statesman How much moro would ho ho feared If rampant la evident from tho bravo tono of tho editorial articles of tho Iondon press whon their writers coutemplato what might happen should tho hand of death remove tho present pacific rulor of Russia. Tho possibility of an avowedly anti-British re- goncy with aggressive proclivities looms up so keonly that It Is doubted If tho dally bul- lctlngs from Llvadla are awulted any moro keenly In Russia than In Great Britain.
