Benr Under British Rule 1 Question Being Agitated and Discussed and Relief to Be Demanded Large Meeting In Dublin Adopts Resolutions and Organizes- for Effective Action FIOURES OIVEN BY MR FIELD MP A public meeting of the inhabitants of SU Patricks Division was held in the Foresters Hall Merchants quay Dublin for the purpose of discussing the financial relations between Great Britain and Ire land Copies of the speech delivered by Mr Field M P in the House of Commons last July on the overtaxation of Irelandwere presented to those who at tended the meeting Mr William Field M P presided The Chairman said in accordance with 4a resolution of the Financial Reform League that every member of Parlia ment should call a meeting in his own division to discuss that question he had summoned that meeting According to the verdict of the Royal Commission they were overtaxed to the extent 2750000 annually If that money were spent in Ireland it would help considerably to increase the prosperity of the country He took his hearers back to the time of the Irish Parliament and the employment that was then given in making public works After the act of union however they had to pay higher taxes without reaping any benefit from ex penditure of Imperial funds in Ireland Frpm this is would be seen how material Ily this question affected the working classes He proceeded to show how the financial clauses of the act of union were evadedwhen the amalgamation of the exchequers took place in 1817 He wished to impress upon them that ac cording as the population decreased in Ireland the taxation increased In 1841 with a populbtion of 8000000 their taxation miss 3000000 and in 1898 with a population of 4544000 their tax- allotl was i 41j0000 Takin the Vic f torian era tl xa on was 11 Free times the amount per head it was in 1837 when Queen Victoria ascended the throne Besides local taxation had enormously increased in the same period While they paid these heavy taxes they did not enjoy all the advantages of the Constitution Out of the l88000p spent in shipbuilding last year not a penny was expended in Ire land Then all the troops in Ireland were maintained on imported goods while the horses were fed on imported oats Deal ing with the setoff argument put forward by England he said if England thought she was losing over this country let her give the Irish their own Parliament and then they would be able to manage the government of Irelandeconomically and put a credit to their account He would not fear an investigation into the setoff claim because he believed that items that would be put down as Imperial expenditure in England were put under the head of local expenditure in Ireland Thi was essentially a workingmens question because if they had the management of their own affairs and if restitution were made of some portion of the 200000000 that had been taken from them in over taxation a great deal of prosperity would come to the country In his opinion some working practical scheme ought to be put forward and he believed scheme of land purchase should be brought to the House of Commons and also a scheme of railway purchase and a grant to erect workmens dwellings An earnest constructive policy should be adopted to obtain justice They were the most heavily taxed country in Europe and yet they were laboring under a perpetual L coercion act If public opinion were educated on this question their claim for restitution would be irresistible Mr Hutchinson T Coo proposed That in the opinion of this meeting of St Patricks Division immediate measures should be adopted to insure restitution and readjustment in the matter of the overtaxation of Ireland He expressed the opinion that this agitation would convert many Unionists to home rule This question had to be fought out by persistent agitation There was no use in the Irish members attacking the gov bytheAlderman Davin seconded the motion Kte characterized Mr Fields speech as one of the most practical he bad listened to for along time Unless the men o Ireland were prepared to take a definite stand upon this matter their talk was all balderdash There was no use in bring ing Lords and Earls to speak on this questionthey wanted some practical proof of these gentlemens earnestness A definite programme setting out their demand should be put forward and these gentlemen should if in earnest support it The tact thin the breweries and dls tilleries were the only Industryf in DublinI was a blot and disgrace to English rule in this country They were entitled to have the act of union carried out If a definite 1icywu adopted at the forth coming Meeting the country would in don ik a t3 Mr J Byrne supported the resolution It was in the hands of the people them selves to remedy this grievance The eople should use none but hope manu factured goods Mr James Dunphy in supporting time resolution said Ireland had been systematically plundered and depopulated Mr Field deserved credit for bringing round him the workers of that division to dis cuss the financial relations If they wanted to convince their opponents they should arm the Irish members with the authority to say that they had the Irish people behind them s The resolution was passed and the meetingadjourned ST PATRICKS NIGHT Irish Celebration and Dra matic Entertainment Be Given by Amateurs Grand Irish celebration and

Two Gallant Irish Superior Officers SKETCH OF HIS LIFE AND CAMPAIGNS No nation of Europe can put into the field such a body of trained and seasoned officers as we have in command of our soldiers in the Philippine Islands and worthy to be their leader is that veteran of the rebellion and Indian wars Major Gen Elwell Stephen Otis Brigadier General United States Army and Major General of Volunteers Gen Otis is a soldier educated in that most thorough of all schoolsthe school of war He was in the twentyfourth year of his age and just entering upon the profession of law when in September 1802 he abandoned the law to pursue the career of arms which he has ever since followed- It was the good fortune of the young Otis to receive his early training under one of the best soldiers in our army at that time This was Patrick H ORorke an Irishman by birth whose parents were settled in Rochester N Y When the One Hundred and Fortieth Regiment of New York Volunteer Infantry was mus tered into the service at Rochester in September 1862 ORorke who was a graduate of the Military Academy was given command of it and Otis who had raised one of the companies Company E was appointed Captain of that com panyThe regiment was composed of excellent l material and ORorke whose fif teen months of war service had trans formed him into a veteran soon made it one of the bestdrilled and most effective regiments in the Army of the Potomac With this regiment Otis served during the whole of his career in the volunteer army during the civil war His promotion from thevrank f Catthin o that ot reutcnaut Colonel o the regtmel1t lie was never a Major was the result of desperate fighting in which his superiors lost their lives on the battlefield first ORorke and then George Ryan both graduates of the Military Academy rind splendid soldiers whom to serve with was in itself a liberal education in the military art No regiment on the field at Gettysburg rendered more important and conspicuous service than that to which Otis was at= tached Warren had been ORorkes perceptor at the Military Academy and when his quick military perception showed him that the unoccupied little Round Top was the key to Meades positionon the left it was to ORorke that Warren turned to assist him in securing it It was the 140th that occupied those heights just a moment in advance of the Confed erates and held it then until reinforce ments came and Little Round Top was made secure ORorkes soldiers says the Comte de Paris in his history of Gettysburg by a really providential coincidence reach at full run this summit which War ren points out to them as the ciladal to be preserved at any cost At their feet lies the vast battlefield whence are heard vague noises andsavage cries the rattling of the musketry the cannons roar and where all the incidents of the combat are seen through a cloud of smoke but they have no leisure to contemplate this spec tacle for they find themselves face to face with Lees soldiers who are climbing the hill on the opposte side A few min utes delay among the Federals would have sufficed to put the Confederates in possession of the summit Never perhaps was seen the winner of a race secure such a prize at so little cost And yet to those immediately con cerned the loss was heavy The One Hundred and Fortieth left more than 133 of their comrades including many offi cers among the dead and wounded on those heights and among the deadwas the valiant ORorke who fell a victim to his promptness indecision and his vigor in action at a critical moment Col ORorke had a presentment that he would fall at Gettysburg and Otis to whom he made it known could not rea son him out of it As the regiment was ascepdiug the steep hill a bullebfrom a sharpshooter located in Devils Den struck him and he fell dead in the arms ofOtisAt battle of the Wilderness the 140th New York saw some of the hottest fighting losing 225 men Otis who had meantime risen to the rank of lieutenant Colonel commanded the picket line of the Fifth Corps which brought on the engagement The regiment was soon under a fire before which it melted like snow Eleven of its commissioned of ficers were killed or wounded not one of the noncommissioned staff remained and of the Captains only three were left Three days later Ryan was killed at Spottsylvania and Otis succeeded to the command of the regiment u Lieutenant ColonelFrom the Rapidan to the Jamey the regiment fed by Otis was constantly o I der fire and it staiuls c nspcuous among those losing the largess number during the civil war leaving 140 of its number dead upon the field of 1 ijnttle The various casualties filially Jleft Otis who seemed to bear a charmed life in com mallet of the regular brigade but his turn came at last for he was severely wounded in the battle of Chajjel1 House near Petersburg Va October 1 18G4 His wound was so severe that he was not sub sequently returned to dutyand he was honorably discharged from the volunteer service January 24 IS S bearing with him the brevets of Coloil and Brigadier General for gallant jutd meritorious service at Spottsylvapia and Chapel House Va I On the organizationf the Twenty second Regiment of Infntryof the reg ular army from a battalion of tine Thirteenth Otis was appointed Lieutenant Colonel of the new regiment his commission dating July 28 18GO On March 2 1807

assumed ommand of the Twentieth at Fort Brow i March 01 1880 From 1807 to 1881 he rued against the IndiansAt v time of the Ci ter massacre in October 1876 Otis who was the Lieuten ant Colonel of the Tv entysecond on duty at the lake posts iii our northern frontier was ordered tb lie front in command of six companies of the regiment While passing down tin Velio wstont his command was attack by the Indians near the mouth of the P wder river The troops were lauded i rid the enemy driven into the hills i heir camp being burned On August 7 187G Col Otis joined Gen Terry and n arched with him up the Rosebud to reiul irce the columns of Gen Crook finally taking post at Glendive Mon Awagbi train sent from that post under an escort of four companies of infantry October 10 1876 was attacked by a heavy force of Indians and compelled to return UfGlendive Here Col Otbreorgau zedtItand with the addition of another C9 npany to the es cort in command totli Tongue river Fifteen miles from tlfpost a force of 1000 Indians attacked1 i he little column of 200 or 800 Uien and a running fight ensued lasting ftoni 7 oclock in the morning until7inthe evening The lIt dians tried every artifice of which they were masters to break up tune column in cumbered with its wag h trains including setting fire to the gross but with no effectThe Jrnext niorningt SioUx could be seen gatheredI iu a numhel dm the lCtrfliJtI6miigrof5iM UI Hr was observed leaving q communication upon a hill to the front whence it was brought by a scout This letter was as followsYellowstone =I want to know what you are doing traveling on this road You scare all the buffalo away I want to hunt in the place I wand you to turn back from here If you dont Ill fight you again I want vou to leave what you have here and turn back from here I am your friend SITTING BUrL I mean all the rations you have got and some powder Wish you would write as soon as you can Col Otis wrote to the effect that he Lad no intention of turning back and if the Indians wanted another fight he was there to accommodate them The In dians gathered as for a fight but thought better of it and sent in a party under a flag of truce who after some talk de cided that they had enough of Otis and preferred to surrender which they did When in 1881 it was decided to es tablish a school of infantry and cavalry at Fort Leavenworth Kan Col Otis was chosen to organize it and he re mained in command of the school and the post of Fort Leavenworth until 1885 The General is justly proud of the work he did in establishing upon a secure foun dation this postgraduate school for army officersWhen relieved from the command of the Leavenworth school Col Otis re turned to the command of his regiment the Twentieth Infantry at Fort Assini boine Montana He also had command of the post one of the largest in the army including several companies of cavalry On October 1 1890 he was de tailed for duty as superintendent of the recruiting service and November 28 1803 was promoted to the rank of Brig adler General passing over the heads of officers of longer service On December 1 following Gen Otis was ordered to duty in command of the Department of the Columbia with headquarters at Vancouver Wash In taking leave of his regiment he called attention to the fact that during the fourteen years of his command he had never found occasion to charge one of its officers with dereliction of duty a fact which testifies to the character of the Colonel as well as to that of the men he commanded When in 1890 the Secretary of War required the assistance of an army officer for the important work of revising the army regulations the statute law of the arnji Genn Otis was ordered to Washington and he spent some months at the War Department engaged upon that work In April 1897 he was transferred to the command of the Department of Colorado The routine duties of a de partment commander in time of peace impose no great tax upon a mans ability but whatever work was given Ged Otis to do was done well and to the thorough satifaction of his superiors In Decem her 1897 lie was ordered to duty as President of an important courtmartial completedthatgall On May 28 1898 he was ap pointed Major General of 4oluateerr and 1 assigned to duty in command of the Department of the Pacific and Military Governor of the Philippines Gen Otis was chosen to command the troops sent to the Philippine Islands be cause of his reputation as a thorough and reliable soldier That his conduct of the campaign which resulted in the discomfiture of Aguinaldo should have excited the adthiration of foreign mili tary observers is only what was to be ex pected from so skilled a warrior With I the help of the trained and experienced ij Officers under his command such as j Major Gens Thomas M Anderson and Arthur MacArthur Brigadier Gens M P Miller Harrison Gray Otis Samuel Ovensliiiie Irving Hale Charles King and others Gen Otis has succeeded in fashioning into an army the inexperi enced volunteers who forum the cjiief part of his force and made the most effective use of their admirable fighting qualities His experience furnishes another illus j tration of the truth which shouldnever be lost sight of that it is the military ex perience transmitted from one war to another that has been our chief reliance in tine of danger Our military experi ence of 180105 was an inheritance from J the war with Mexico and the Indian wars and so back to the revolution when the soldiers trained in the border wars of the early settlements and in the French and Indian wars were among our most skilled military leaders Gen Otis is a native of Maryland having been born in Frederick Md March 25 1838 His family removed to Rochester N Y when he was quite young and he was brought up on a farm jjjust out of Rochester on what is known as Lyell road He was graduated at the I University of Rochester in 1858 and must have stood high in the class for those who knew him then recall the fact that lhe took part in exhibitions when scholarship was required to secure a place He was in his senior year Presi dent of one of the literary societies into which the students are divided the PithI onian He was admitted to the bar one year after his graduation from the uni versity and was subsequently graduated at the Harvard Law School in 1851 He is the

mouth and on the left bank of the River Pasig The present fortifications and the walls and embattle- ments of the old city were built by Chinese labor in 1690 The walls are two and a half miles long and mounted with old and useless cannon The old city is almost surrounded by water OIL the north is the River Pasig on the west the sea while moats flank the other two sides These moats are connected with the river by sluices Until 1852 the drawbridge connecting the old city with the new was raised at night and time city closed presenting the curious fact of a feudal Spanish city in the heart of

ROBBING THE LABORER There is prospect qf serious trouble in the car works over the river The car worksyears ago the leading industry about the falls employing the best of workmen paying the highest wages withI I a worldwide reputation for efficient work and workmen cot sidered a position there a boon and an honor have sadly degenerated to little more than a slave pen run under the contract and subcontract system where men are worked along and hard and paid as near nothing as possible shunned by all1 workmen not forced by necessity to accept employment of any kind except the contractors who alone seem to have prospered The cor poration which inaugurated tli system some years ago acting on the false principle of economy by cheapening everything reduced wages and increased the labors of its employes and then by low bids sought to monopolize the car building of the country They onl succeeded in demoralizing it Other car builders were forced to comedown in their bids only to have the original economists make another cut in wages and bid still lower until at last it was a game of waiting for the cheapest by the rail roads and the car building industr as a profitable investment was dead For years it has been a struggle tto keep the once great Ohio Falls Car Works in operation even at the lowest prices starvation wages long hours etc but little better than that accorded the inmates of th penitentiary near by and it did not payA combination of the car works has been formed and the first se of the new management was tto abolish the contract systema stein the right direction The molders whose wages had been gradu ally cut 40 per cent seem to hav felt encouraged by the prospect oat rI least getfing part of the profit onI their work which had gone to the contractor and asked for an ad vance which was refused and they quitThe other employes continued at work and the management assume i J the aggressive Quite a number of the employes work by piecebein- paid only for the work they do re gardless of timeand like all piece workers in any establishment wit a semblance of fairness are free toII go home when not actually at work Now an order is issued that these pieceworkers though still to be paid only by the piece are not to be allowed to leave the shops during working hours that is they are re quired to remain in the shop all day though only to be paid for the work theydo the time they are ac tually employed The injustice of this is manifest A workmans only stock in trade isii his time and no one has the right t to utilize it without just

carefully rounded They are made entirely by hand while the imitations are molded When a woman thrusts n little tortoise shell ornament through her hair she little dreams of the number of hands through

Convention the Irish Land- Owners AVlilne Condemn and Enter Protest or Denounce time Laud Act and Re port of the Fry Commission ns illegal and Unjust Always Loyal Charge Parlla mcnt and Government with Ingratitude BEING SUPPLANTED BY THE REBEL- The annual convention of the Irish landowners was held in Dublin on February 22 The chair was taken by hiss Grace the Duke of Abercorn and the was a large attendance amongst those present being the Marquis of London derry Lord Farnham Lord Castletown Lord Inchiquin Lord Clonbrock Sir Thomas Butler and others The President addressing the convention said I am glad to have this opportunity t presiding once more at the annual meet ing of the landlords of Ireland and of addressing a few observations to you upon matters affecting our common in terests As compared with former meet ings it may be said that we meet this year under altered circumstances and ii- a in new state of things I refer of course to the great changesamounting to complete revolution which the act of last session has made in the law and pro cedure relating to local government in this country These changes are in nowise limited as to their effect to the clas which is represented in this room The have taken the local government of the country and the power to impose or reject local taxation out of the hands of the va rious classes in both urban and rural areas by whom these matters have been hatd acquired experience t knowledge respecting them Gran- I Juries Presentment Sessions Boards a Guardians Dispensary Committees City and Town Corporations Town Commis sioners Lunatic Asylum Boards and all other local bodies as heretofore consti tuted have practically ceased to exist In lieu of them we are to have new bod ies in most cases with new and unfamil iar names elected by an electorate the great majority of whom have up to this time taken no part in local government and because they pay little or no taxes will incur little or no loss if local taxa tion is largely increased It seems to me that no man can be accused of being illiberal or narrowminded for regarding such a measure as an experiment tire re suits and effects of which no one could foretell Still less can we be accused o such motives because we thought that as n precautionary measure some sub stantial representation should have been secured at the outset for those larger ratepayerswhether landlords or ten ants or traders who pay the great bulk of all taxation in Ireland even though in point of numbers they constitute only a small minority of the population I pass next to the report of the Pry Com mission and in doing so I can not but express my astonishment at the fact that yeartGovernment certainly endeavored to make little of the findings of this com mission on the questions which were directly referred to them and to treat as most important some passages in their report on questions which do not seem to have been referred to them at all I can only say that we have no intention of allowing this important report to be treated in this way We must insist on the Pink Schedule being made as perfectas possible in the directions indicated by the Fry Commissioners We must press even more strongly that rehearings or appeals must be made to deserve the mime instead of being the costly farce which they have hitherto been Above all we should demand that tenant farmers 1 should cease to be employed in fixing rents and that men must be found for the purpose who have no personal inter est in the issue either as tenants or land lords I should like to say a few words next on the proposals which we have put forward as likely to mitigate some of the losses inflicted upon us by the Irish land acts We all know that these acts have greatly interfered with dealings with Irish landed securities We there fore ask the State to assist us in restor ing a healthy tone to the Irish land mar ket by measures calculated to lighten the burden of mortgages and other private charges to assist in making them marketable securities and to facilitate them being gradually paid off The State has authorized large a vanes to enable tenants to buy their holdings and no loss is anticipated Our next demand relates to an old grievance the tithe rent charge As to this we have at last the satisfaction of knowing that the government intends during the present session to redeem the promises made during many years past We must of course wait for their bill before we can express any opinion upon it but we shall have just reason to com plain if it is not a large and liberal mess ure of relief Passing to the land purchase acts we ought surely to find the present government willing to listen to any proposals calculated to make them work more freely We appeal to these classes to unite with us in pressing these claims upon the government and Parliament Incumbered owners and mod ages are to be found in large numbers in every part of the United Kingdom nd wherever they exist they possess the same interest asthey do hi Ireland in our proposals relating to mortgages Again when we advocate measures to promote the wider operations of the land purchase acts our tenants are ulti mately almost more interested than their landlords in measures of this character A like remark applies to our demand that tithes should be cleared and regis tered at the expense of the State in the first instance for no very rapid progress can be made with land purchase transactions a until the process of clearing and registering tithes has been simplified and1 cheapened The present government passed a locale registration of title ac for Ireland In 1891 but it seems in danger of becoming a dead Better and this re gretable fact seems to be due to the re t deparmente act to be gradually brought to general se Lord Farnham in proposing the firm t resolution said the Fry Commission stood condemned by the commission of the government itself In its essence and constitution the Lord Commission faultSof its own perhaps but from the circumstances under which it exists as being a tribunal asked to perform a task the exact nature of which had not and prob ably never would be defined by anyone He was not aware the landlords eve r thereir favor or against them They asked for an inquiry into the constitution and proceedings i cf a certain tribunal and not for one to retry all the cases octween the landlords and tenants but to investigate i the manner in which these cases had been gone into and on that flea they had a justification for having asked for the commission Never in the history of the laws of their country had so complete a condemnation been pro nounced against any tribunal set up to administer the laws of the country Referring to the question of making permanent i the office of subcommissioner he said the landlords never suggested the bfe permanent lords case would not be met by raising the salaries of the present men and mak ing their office permanent He proposed findingys I our complaints against the procedur- practice and methods of valuation under the Irish land acts and land purchase acts we are entitled to ask that the prin cipal reforms and recommendations iin the report of the commission should receive a fair trial without further delay dand we request our executive committee hayEe this matter brought under the notice of both Houses of Parliament again and again until due action has been taken by thegovernment and the public depart ments in question The Right lion A H SmithBarry M P in seconding it said the entir- system e of the administration of the land acts should be urgently and thoroughly dealt with He hoped they would not cease in their endeavors until the remedy suggested by the Fry Commission had been carried into effect and until1 time system by which their properties were being whittled away and carried into the hands of others was redressed thfe Courts subCommission said for abso lute illegality and injustice one night search history up and down and fail tto find a parallel except perhaps in the proceedings of the Star Chamber The landlords and tenants were sick of the endless legislation which led to nowher and satisfied no one Dr Traill in supporting the resolution said as one who sat on the commission lie thought the time had come when he shouldspeak and when silence on his part might be injurious to their cause Having dealt exhaustively with the conclusion arrived at by the commission and the incapacity shown by some of the subCommissioners who had been examined and the necessity for the appointment of properly qualified commissioners who would be unbiased and abov- suspicion he said he could not been silent when he saw so many innocent victims being dragged down to destruction The Marquis of Londonderry speaking in support of the resolution said he advocated the tranfer of land from land lords to tenants on terms of a fair and equitable character and he thought iit should be the duty of the government to help in that lie and his brother Peers in the House of Lords would do their utmost to help those who should benefit by the findings of the Fry Commission Mr John B Hewson Limerick and Hr Downes Webber Cork also spoke in support of the resolution which wa I put and carried unanimously Lord Inchiquin in proposing the next resolution which called again upon Par liament to consider the claims of the Irish landlords to compensation from th State for the loss they had sustained by the land acts and their administration said he had already brought forward the matter before the House of Lords and iif the convention wished he would bring iit forward again and preSs it to a division if necessary Under the operation of the land acts the value of their property had been reduced fifty per cent which was far in excess of the amonnt which the fall in the market justified and therefore the difference between the market price and the prices fixed by the commission would represent the amount of thtir claimMr James Wilson D L in seconding the resolution said that in his opinion the failure of their cause was due to having trusted too much on political officials Move public opinion to the smallest extent and those marionette figures would soon begin to work nd- the landlords would have them on their side There was absolutely no hope for the landlords until they got a certain amount of public opinion behind them Lord Clonbrock speaking in support of the resolution said their claim was against the people of the United Kingdom There was no doubt the fault layI with the Government of 1831 who introduced the land act but they also deeply- resented the landact of 1896 The resolution was supportedlby Rev H Humphreys Kilkenny Lord Lon III a y donderry and by Capt Cochrane D L Donegalwhol said the present Govern ment was the worst they ever had The landlords had loyally supported the Gov ernment and the Union and now their thanks were to see those they called rebels in their place The resolution was carried unanimously The third resolution asked the favor able consideration of the Government fort the following proposals f 1 Measures to lighten the burden of mortgages and other private charges and to facilitate their ultimate redemption viz a Loans to redeem well secured mortgages etc repayable bya termina legislation every part of the United Kingdom of mortgage debenture institutions on the rmodel of the Prussian landschaften or of the Hanoverian or Swiss or Hungarian State mortgage banks c legislation to facilitate the conversion of mortgages etc into land debentures 2 The immediate reduction and ulti mate extinction of ecclesiastical tithe rent charges 3 The outstanding portions ofall Boards of Works loans should be ascertained and made repayable on same terms as loans made to tenants under the laud purchase acts 4 Loans on same terms as under the land purchase acts to euable landlords to purchase crown rents quit rents church perpetuities and lay tithe rent charged 6 The clearing and registering of titles at the expcnee of the State the cost to be recouped by fees on future transac tions 0 State advances to enable landlords to purchase tenants interests by volun tary arrangements between landlords and tenants Lord Castletown of Upper Ossory in proposing itsaid he intended Introducing shortly a bill the object of which was to give a solid and more safe aspect to land proprietary and tenancy in this country It would deal with the estab lishment of loan banks such as the Prussian Laudschaften or the Hungarian State Mortgage Bank and there was no banke ing institutions as they were merely for the protection of land Owner and land tenants Mr W H Boyd D L Donegal seconded the resolution and it was sup ported by Mr Savage French Cork W D Webber and Rev H Humphreys The resolution was put and carried unanimously The next resolution asked for an amendment of the law and procedure under the Irish land purchase acts to mitigate the loss of income usually in theirethe reforms recommended by the Fry Commission That the Land Commis sion should restrict themselves to decide ing how much they might be willing to advance in each case and not place diffi 1entries in the way of tenants agreeing to pay and secure a further sum the author 4 ization of alternative forms of land pur chase so as to meet the different circum stances of the different casesaud different parts of the country It was proposed by ties Right lIon Henry Bruen D Lj Carlow and seconded by Mr G de L Willis each of whom explained at much length the benefits which the suggestions if adopted by the Government would confer on the landlords and they would qlso affect the tenantry It was supported by Col Everard Meath who said the only one solution to the land question was the restoratio- nS simple ownership which had been proposed by the tenants themselves The resolution was carried unarm mouslyThe next resolution voiles on the Gov ernment to bring in a short bill topro hibit any change in the tithe rent charge ofeMetge vs Justices of Meath pending the passing of the tithe rent charge bill promised in the Queens speech- It was proposed by Mr J B Hewsen Limerick who advised lay tithe rent payers to form an association to fight the matter out in case the Government now refuses to take the steps suggested Rev H Humphreys seconded the reso lution and it was referred to the Execu rive Committee The remainder of the proceedings was conducted in private IACATHOLIC NECESSITY moresand more noticeable every day and is causing a great deal of comment is need ofan institution in this city which will do for the Cath + YoungeMens Christian Association does for the Protestant young man There are hun dreds of Catholic young men members of theY M C A simply and solely for the reason that there is not a CatholicrOrgan ization or institution in this city which can compete with it in any way The Y M C A is equipped so as to take a young man and build him up both mentally and physically and make a man of him and give him a place to either study or exer cise during his recreation hours instead of hanging around the corners The Y M C A has built itself up right from the bottom depending mainly on sub scriptions from members of the Protest ant churches aided by a little enterprise on the part of the officers of the association There is no reason whatever why a Catholic population of 47000 should not be able to do the same thing as there are plenty of generous Catholfcs in this city who would only be too willing to donate to an object of this kind if it was once started We hope that the attention of the clergy or some active Catholics will be called to this and so start an en terprise which will earn for them the gratitude of thousands ol Catholic young men in this city who realize more day by day the great necessity of an institution of this kind XX Now is the time to subscribe foe the Kentucky Irish American Late news from Ireland every week One El a year T IZ13 NTUCKY IRISH AIMERICAN t MOORES CREEK Tories Rallied for the King and the Irish and Patriots Routed Them Before the Battle of Lexington People of North Carolina Ousted the British r First Battle of the American Revolution Fought- in 1771 HISTORY NOT GENERALLY KNOWN For years previous to the breaking out of the Revolution the people of North Carolina were in constant revolution against the brutal tyranny of their British Governors In 1700 an organization or con federation known as the II Regulators was formed for the purpose of resisting the oppressions of the infamous Gov Tryon A vigorous and successful war was carried on for several years but on May 10 1771 the patriots met with a disastrous defeat on the river Allamance which compelled them to give up the struggle for the time being and submit to the conqueror Gov Tryons conduct after the battle of Allamance is characteristic of British methods of suppressing a rebellion With the implacable spirit of revenge says the historian Lossing IIhe spent his wrath upon his prisoners and some of his acts were worthy only of a barba rian Having rested a few days near the battleground he went on as far as the Yadkin and after issuing a proclama tion of pardon to all who should lay down their arms and take the oath of allegiance before July 10 except a few whom he named he made a circuitous route through Stokes Rockingham and Guilford counties back to Hillsborough exhibiting his prisoners in chains in the villages through which he passed He exacted an oath of allegiance from the people levied contributions of provisions chastised those who dared to offend him and at Hillsborough he offered a large reward for the bodies of Husband the leader of the Regulators and other Regulators dead or alive On his march he held courtmartial for trying civil cases burned houses and destroyed the crops of inoffensive people At Hills borough he held a courtmartial for the trial of his prisoners Twelve were contemned to suffer death six were re prievedand the others were hung among whom was Capt Messer whose life had been spared a few days before by the intercession of his little child His thirst for revenge satiated Tryon re turned to his palace at Newburn where he remained but a short time having been called to the administration of af fairs in the Province of New York Josiah Martin succeeded Tryon as Gov ernor His administration was better than his predecessors He tried to con ciliate the Regulators and was success ful in enlisting many of them on the side of the Government But the vast ma jority of the patriots held aloof hoping that an occasion would soon arise that would give them another opportunity of asserting their independence and over throwing British rule They were not disappointed Before 1774 all the northern colonies were in open rebellion against the tyranny of George III and his ministers and a general outbreak against British misgovernment seemed imminent During the summer of 1774 large numbers of the inhabitants of North Carolina held public meetings in which they signified their approvalof the course pursued by their Northern brethren and indorsed the proposal of the people of Massachusetts for the calling of a Continental Congress- A general meeting of delegates from the several towns of North Carolina was proposed to be held at Newburn on Au gust 25 1774 Although the Governor proclaimed the meeting it was held and was largely attended John Harvey late speaker of the Assembly of the col ony presided and resolutions were adopted denouncing taxation without representation reprobating the tea and other duties expressing great sympathy for the people of Massachusetts and con demning the Boston Port bill as a cruel infringement of the rights and privileges of the people The delegdes also signed a nonimportation agreement and ex pressed their hearty approval of the proposition for a general Congress- In April 1775 Gov Martin by procla mation fixed a day for the assembling of the Legislature John Harvey who presided over the Newbern Convention summoned the people to meet as a Pro vincial Congress on the same day Martin tried to prevent the meeting of the peoples deputies but failed He also failed in his attempt to keep the two As distinct He denounced the Con tinental Congress as seditious and wicked highly offensive to his majes ty and called upon the people to re member their allegiance and to faithfully maintain it His appeals were in vain for both Assemblies concurred in approv ing of the proceeding of the Continental Congress of 1774 and iri appointing dele gates to a new one to meet in Philadel phia in May 1775 The Governor and the representatives of the people were now fairly at issue The latter organized a Provincial Congress and assuming the functions of Government sent forth aa address to the people recommending the adoption of meaeures for resistance similar to those pursued in other colonies Martin was f now thoroughly alarmed and set to work to orgaaUe a military force to crush the rebels He tent meMeagera to Cross Creek where there was a large settlement of Bcotch colonies who ware supposed tq n be loyal and to other parts of the colony asking for aid against the rebels and he wrote to Gen Gage in Boston soliciting arms and ammunition This letter was intercepted and the intentions of the Governors becoming known the people were roused up to the highest pitch of in dignation They marched to his house carried off six cannon which he had planted there for his defense and Martin fled in terror to Port Johnson near Wil mington Prom here he issued a proclamation against the patriots denouncing them as rebels and incendiaries and trait ors to King George On Auguest 20 1775 the Provincial Congress met at Hillsborough and they ordered the Governors proclamation to be burned by the common hangman Theyalso set about raising two regiments of 500 men each for the defense of the liberties of the province Thecorarnand of the first regiment was given to Col James Moore of Hanover the second to Col Robert Home of Brunswick Ten companies of minute men each company to number fifty men were also directed to be raised The people were now thor oughly aroused The news of the great events ocurring in Massachusetts was wafted to the patriots of the South The hopes and aspirations of the Northern colonists were shared by the patriots of Carolina and to show that they were in earnest the latter went to work and any smith who could forge a blade or sharpen a warlike instrument was called into ser vice until the whole colony looked like one vast military workshop Gov Martin had not been idle while all this was going on He dispatched emis saries among the Scotch and Regulators endeavoring to win them to the cause of the King lie was in momentary expec tation of the arrival of Sir Henry Clinton with troops from the North and he had learned that Sir Peter Parker with the British fleet having Lord Cornwallis and a considerable force on board were destined for America These tidings gave the loyal Governor great pleasure He knew if he could raise a force of Loyal ists and keep them in the heart of the colony until the arrival of the expeced reinforcements the rebellion would be immediately crushed in North Carolina He therefore used every effort in gaining over the Scotchmen to the royal stand ardAt Cross Creek lived Donald McDon alda veteran soldier who possessed great influence over his Countrymen He fought at the famous battle of Culloden in Scotland where Charles Stuart the Young Pretender to the throne of Great Britain was completely defeated anti forced to flee to the Continent McDon ald was fortunate enough to escape from the hands of the bloodthirsty soldiers of the Duke of Cumberland and went to America settling in North Carolina He became a traitor to the cause of liberty and took service with the very power that had oppressed his native land He received the commission of brigadier general from Gov Martin and raising the standad of King George III at Cross Creek now Fayetteville called upon his countrymen to assemble in their strength apd prove their loyalty to the throne and their devotion to the King They readily obeyed In the course ofa few days more than a thousand Scotchmen were mustered under the banner of McDonald and many Tories and others flocking in the number was soon swelled to eighteen hundredAllen McDonald served as captain un der McDonald He was the husband of the celebrated Flora McDonald friend of Charles Stuart who aided that unfortu nate Prince in eluding the English hire lings of the Duke of Cumberlandwho were pursuing him all over Scotland Allen McDonald and his wife used all their influence in bringing their country men to the standard of the Scotch gen eralCol Moore who was then at Hanover received intelligence of the gathering of the loyalists and summoning a band of patriots to his assistance in all about 1100 men marched toward Cross Creek to meet McDonald and encamped within twelve miles of the Scotchmans headquarters Here he fortified his camp and sent out small detachments of men and skillful scouts and spies who cut off all communication between McDonald and Gov Martin McDonald upon being informed of Moores approach set out to dislodge him When within a few miles he halted and sending forward a messenger with the Governors proclamation and at the same time urged upon Col Moore to prevent bloodshed by joining the Kings stand ard In case of refusal he threatened the patriots with the chastisement due to rebels found in arms against their King Moore answered firmly and de fiantly that he was engaged in a holy cause from which he could not be se duced and threatened him with the same punishment which he had proposed to inflict on the patriots Moore delayed his answer for some time in order that a messenger whom he had dispatched to Col Caswell the commander of the minute men might have time to deliver his dispatch Mc Donald resolved to give him battle but before he had time to carry out his in tention his scouts brought iutelligeuce of the rapid gathering of the minute men around him At the same time he was informed that Sir Henry Clinton and Lord William Campbell were hourly ex pected in the Cape Fear river The Scotchman now became afraid that if he risked a battle it might prove disastrous and changing his mind he broke up his camp and marched toward Wilmington to effect a junction with the Governor and his friends McDonald started at midnight and pushed on at a rapid pace over swollen streams rough hills and deep morasses hotly pursued by Col Moore Thus two days and nights passed over pursuers and pursued the brave Moore using every effort to overtake the renegade and his Tory army the latter having the start straining every nerve to widen the des tance between them and reach their aY1McDonaldthe tributaries of the Cape Fear and was 0 congratulating himself on soon reaching his destination when as he approached Moores Creek he saw before him the minute men of Dobbs Craven Johnston and Wake counties with battalions from Newbern and Wilmington in all about 1000 men commanded by Cols Caswell and Islington They were out in search of the Royalists and McDonald had stumbled upon their camp The latter was now in a critical situation The strong minute men of the Neuse region their officers wearing silver crescents upon their hats inscribed with the stir ring words Liberty or Death were in front and Col Moore with his regu lars was close upon his rear To fly was impossible to fight was the only alterna tiveThe two armies lay within sight of each other during the night The Scotch removed the bridge across Moores Creek stationed their forces so as to command the passage and the roads and threw up breastworks before morning The pa triots slept upon their arms ready at the signal call to leap upon the foe As the morning dawned the Scotch bagpipes were heard calling McDonald and his eighteen hundred loyalists to arms The patriots stood ready The Scotch led by Capt McLeod rushed for ward to the attack There was a small entrenchment near the bridge empty I andseemingly deserted toward this the Highlanders rushed thinking the patriots had abandoned it They had almost i gained the breastworks when up from I their concealment sprang the patriots who poured a fearful volley into the Scotchmens teeth and leaped upon them with the bayonet- A desperate struggle now ensued and hand to hand they grappled for more than ten minutes McLeod was killed at the first volley Campbell the next in command soon followed but the Scotch conscious of their superior numbers still fought believing defeat impossible from such a small force as was arrayed against them They were soon undeceived how ever Lieut Slocum with a small baud of patriots having found a fordable part of the stream pushed rapidly across and penetrating a swamp on its western bank fell like a thunderbolt on the rear of the Scotch spreading consternatfon and ter ror through their ranks The loyal Scotch throwing away their bagpipes and the royal standard fled broken routed and pursued by the victorious rebels To add more terror to their flight the troops of the brave Moore were heard advancing and soon the cheers of his men were heard as they came in sight of the battlefield The Scotch lost seventy men in killed and wounded smith many prisoners Among the latter was Donald McDonald and also Allen the husband of Flora The patriots captured thirteen wagons I50 guns and shotbags about 1150 swords and dirks and 1000 rifles The patriots had only two wounded liThe effect of this defeat of the loyal ists says the historian Lossing was of vast importance to the patriots cause in North Carolina It exhibited the courage and skill of the defenders of lib erty and completely broke the spirit of the loyalsts It prevented general organization of the Tories and their junction with the forces of Sir Henry Clinton which arrived in the Cape Fear in May upon which the royal power in the South depended for vitality The opposers of that power were encouraged and the timid and wavering were compelled to make a decision The kindness extended to the prisoners and their families won the esteem of all and many loyalists were converted to the Republican faith by the noble conduct of the victors The plans of the Governor and of Sir Henry Clinton and Lord William Campbellwere for the time completely frustrated and Martin soon afterward abdicated the Government and took refuge on board the Bristol the flagship of Sir Peter Parker Royal government in North Carolina now ceased forever and a brighter era in the history of the State was opened FOR TilE LEGISLATURE Sylvester McDonough is announced by his friends as a candidate for
