Thnt was tho spirit which en thused 4000 Germans and Irish Amer icans at tho Academy of Music last night, when tho death of the "Man chester' Martyrs," ' Allen Larkln and O'Brien, wan commemorated. The prin cipal speaker was "Jim" Larkln, of Ireland, tho firebrand of tho Emerald Iele, and England's bitter enemy, a grand nephow of the martyred Larkln. - There was no mincing words, no dodg ing, no diplomacy in what Larkln said. Ife deliberately preached revolution and appealed to the Irishmen of America, through tho Irish-American League, under whose auspices tho monster meet in? wse held, to send arms and ammuni tion to Ireland "for the glorious day of reckoning with Kngland." ASKS MONEY TO BUY GUNS. "Men and women," shouted Larkln, and 4030 hearts beat faster us he spoke tho words, "give ub money to buy guns and by tho living God, who gave us life, we will not fall you and well not fall the mother of our race. I plead with you. For 700 Idng and weary years wo liavo walled for this hour. Tho flowing tide Is with ua and we deserve to be rele gated to oblivion It we are not ready to 'take occasion by the hand and make the bcunds of freedom wider yet Give us the arms and we'll be ready with the rlilnir of the moon." With tho fervor that must have ehono from the eyes of Savonarola, with the bitterness that burned the lips of the prophets when they pronounced their curee upon the wrongs of the ancient world and with the same enthusiasm that led his grand uncle to his execution, Larkln pleaded for the cause of Ireland, denounced John Iledmond as "a pur chased traitor" and ridiculed the home rule bill as "a manifest lie and termi nological Inexactitude." "Why should Ireland fight for Brltalp in this war? What has Britain ever done for our people? ' asked Larkln. "What ever we got frdm her we wrested with struggle and sacrifice. No, men and women of the Irish race, we shall not light for England. We shall fight for the destruction of the British Empire and the construction of an Irish Republic, We shall not flglit for the preservation of the enemy, which has lad waste with death and desolation the fields and hills of Ire land for seven hundred years. We will tight to free Ireland from the grasp of that vile carcass called England."

Larkln concluded his remarks by say ing that tho end of Brltsh sway In Ire land and all over .tho world was at hand. Ho expressed "the hope that Ger many would be aucccssful. A bitter denunciation of tho American press becauso of Its "slavish subserviency to England" was made by Dr. C. J.
