BOER MEETING AT NEW YORK United Irish Societies llavo a Demonstntion nt Academy of Musio. SPEECHES BY MASON , S'JIZiR ' AND OTHERS All OttTllotv ( intlH-rlnu or Throe TliiiiiNiiiiil ( Jin ortior l'o < > ntcr One of ( hi ? Vice 1'ri.nl.loiKn Tin. ' NEW YORK , Dec. 31. The United Irish societies of 'Now York nnd vicinity lllled the Academy of Mimic tonight nt n ninsa meeting called to n.xprmn Fympnthy with the Boers nnd opposition to England In con- ficimwtco of the South African war. Senator Mason of Illinois , CotiKressmnn Sulzcr nnd Congressman Cummlnga of New York nml others addressed the meeting. Justice Fitz gerald of the supreme court presided. The entire house was lllled. The pron flcenlum , the boxes anil the balconlcA weie all decorated with n profusion of American Hags , the green Irish emblems nml occasionally - ally tin- flags of the two South African re- publics. Justice Fitzgerald .after calling the moot- Ins to order , wild It was n great honor to bo aaked to R.ncnh to the great audience. "Tho British colonial olllcc , " he said , "seems to have up to thin point , made n mistake In calculating the lighting nunlltlcs of those farmers. It Is said that the colonial secretary will send more troops to Africa. I'erhups when thi yeomen , fox- hunters , and by the gracious permission of the iiucon , the duke of Connaught , go to the relict of the besieged troops , England's imp may bo again nilod with bitterness. "Tho great heart of the American people goes out to the people of the Transvaal and the Orange Free State. They an * lighting for the snmo principles , they arc against the eamo sovereign and red-coated soldiers that fought us n century ago and would light us tomorrow if they dared nnd If they thought It would benefit them. " Congressman Sulxer said In part : "Their cause Is a Just one. No ono can honestly ( Maputo that. They nro defending tholr homes and repelling a remorseless Invader. England's attempt to steal their country Is nn outrage , an act of criminal ag- grefBlon , and should be ccndemned by the ChrlKlan powers of the world. In my judgi mcnt nine-tenths of the American people arc against England In this matter nnd In sympathy with the South African patriots. HOITM' S < ruunlt'N itnil IfnrilNlitiiN , The story of the struggles and the hardships - ships of those hrave men in South Africa i Is one of the saddest pages In nil history - an Imperishable heritage to their hardy and 1 valorous descendants. No one can Impar- tlally read ! t without feeling n deep sympathy - pathy for them In their present struggle to ' maintain their freedom and Independence ) against English greed for gold , English tyranny and criminal British nggrcoalon for land. "These brave Beers arc fighting for re publicanism against monarchy ; for democ racy against plutocracy ; for home rule against the bayonet ; for the sovereignty of the Individual against the sanctity of the crown ; for the ballot against the throne ; 1 for the love of homo against the love of gold ; for Saxon freedom against British 1 tyranny ; for the Integrity of their country against a ruthless Invader ; for the school 1 house and the church against the army bar- j racks and the military fort ; for religious freedom against foreign domination ; for the fireside of civilization against the blazing torch of dpvastatlon ; for free Institutions against Imperialism , and , above all und be yond all , they arc fighting a battle for the rights of man. " Senator Mason reviewed the history of the Dutch people In South Africa and her relations with England. In the course of thlshe _ referred to "Lilliputian statesmen who are trying to (111 ( the place of the great Gladstone and who are trying to belltUo his memory In Insinuating- that fear made him dlctato retirement of the British from the Transvaal after Majuba Hill , "I think that wo , as onlookers , havo' the right to Biiy , " said Senator Mason , "that if In that matter Gladstone had a grain of dls- cretlon , thu events of the. last nix weeks In South Africa have shown that It was In accordance with sound statesmanship. "Congressman Sulzcr has alluded to the Boer as always having been surrounded with savages nnd fevers. I can sny that there has not been a day since the times when our own forefatheri ? were fighting the same I fee he fights today , nnd for the same llb- erty , that the Boer has not only been faced by savages and surrounded by fevers , but ho has been followed by the British lion and the shadow behind him of the British icdcoat. SI ron IT ItcHoliilIniiH 1'iiNMeil. The following rcfolntlons wcro passed with a cheer : | Whereas , All good American citizens must ' vlow with concern the evident Conspiracy : of English agents , acting In the Interests of ptockjobbers , mining speculators and company promoters to lead tlu < , United 1 States Into nn entangling alliance , open or concealed , with Great Britain , In nn olVort to strangle the liberties of the republics of South Africa , which nro as precious to them and secured by us good a title as nro the liberties of thin republic ; ami Whereas.
