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

"I think that wo , as onlookers , havo' the

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

erty , that the Boer has not only been faced
by savages and surrounded by fevers , but
ho has been followed by the British lion

icdcoat.
