Question Whether It Can Be -Held 'for Boer Wrongsf, AMERICAN CLAlnTBROUfeHT UP Engineer Wna Deprived of Valuable Lands by ICruKcrVt Arbitrary 3Icthods and State Department Calls Vp His Suit. WASHINGTON, May 2L The State De partment has called the attention of the British government to the claims of the late Charles Brown, an American civil and mining engineer, for compensation for lands of which he was deprived by the Boer government before the South Afri can War. The amount of the claim Is 53.000.000. The case Is of particular interest, not only because of the 'amount of thexlalm,'. but also by reason of the Important prin ciple Involved. Brown located, as he al leges, in conformity with Transvaal law, a largo number of land entries, including mining properties. He was enabled to do this by adopting the methods of the "American eooners," .to the astonishment of the slow-going Boers, with whom 'he was competing for the land. However, his proceedings were within the letter of the law, according to a decision of the Su preme Court of the Transvaal. But Pres ident Kruger was autocratic in his meth ods, and had little regard for the courts, according to the testimony. He eant for the Chief Justice, and demanded that he reverse the decision the court had ren dered In Brown's favor, and on the re fusal of that officer to do so, expelled him from office without troubling himself with the formality of impeachment proceedings, and then vacated Brown's title. Brown appealed to the State Depart ment, which had begun to move In the case when the war broke out. The claim then lay in abeyance. Now it has been taken up afresh, but with thia new com plication, that there Is' no Boer Republic and that England Is the Sovereign, and it is a question whether she can be hold responsible for the misdoings of the Boers.

His Declaration for Unequivocal Free Trade Pleases Liberals, Whd May Unite on Issue. LONDON, May 21. Lord Rosebery ex pressed surprise that his speech at B urn el ey, on May 19, In which ho dealt with Colonial Secretary Chamberlain's tariff speech, delivered at Birmingham, on May IS. has been interpreted as in any way supporting Mr. Chamberlain's proposal to establish reciprocity between Great Brit ain and her colonics, and explains that he purposely treated the subject uncon troverslally because he was addressing a non-polltlcal audience. Lord Rosebery ad heres absolutely to his opinion that the Liberal party is indissolubly bound to free trade, and anything like an imperial com mercial league would weaken the Empire internally, and excite the permanent hos tility of the world. LIBERALS ARE PLEASED. Rosebery's Chances for Leadership, However, Are Dimmed.. LONDON, May 2L Lord Rosebery's ex planation of his ambiguous speech at Burnley gives satisfaction to tbe Liberal party, as dispelling the rumors which had begun to gather that he was bidding to become a Minister in a Chamberlain Cab inet, but the Incident is considered further to prove his Impossibility as a leader of the Liberal party. At various Liberal demonstrations today Mr. Chamberlain's scheme of tariff reci procity between Great Britain and the colonies, which continues to be the theme of an active discussion, was denounced by the speakers, among them Mr. Asqulth, Lord Spencer. Earl Carrlngton and Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, and it is evi dent that If Mr. Chamberlain holds to his supposed Intention of making a preferen tial tariff within the empire a plank of his programme at the general election, he will have provided the Liberals with a welcome platform of reunion. ed to bo animated by a desire to ameli orate the lot of the peasants. In reality he cares nothing for them, and the men must themselves obtain their rights. These pamphlets are couched in language most insulting to the Czar, the Czarina and the government. The employers are asking for police protection during the celebra tions. The recent destruction by fire of a fac tory at St. Petersburg, Involving the los3 of about 5300,000, is attributed to the work men. Tho working people here are becoming more insistent in their demands for in creased wages, shorter hours and the right of organization for mutual aid. The bank managers, shopkeepers and warehousemen have decided to close their establishments during the festivities. Tho police have discovered another secret printing shop, and have seized many revo lutionary proclamations. CATHOLICS LOOK TO EMPEROR. Germany Expected to Protect Their Interests In the East. LONDON, May 2L An address to Em peror William Is being widely signed hero expressing the hope of the British Catho lics that Germany may be Intrusted with the protection of Catholic interests in the East, and assuring the Emperor that the British Catholics will labor to remove the misunderstandings between Great Brit ain and Germany, and the promotion of the friendliness of the two countries. Chamberlain Firm In His Stand. LONDON, May 2L In a letter to a con stituent, Mr. Chamberlain further empha sizes his belief In the necessity for an Im perial commercial league. He says: "I am firmly convinced that the pros perity of this country depends largely on our trade with the colonies, which, under a wise system of mutual concession, will Increase by leaps and bounds. Wo have been apt In the past to consider too much the advantage of buying cheaply, and not to pay sufficient attention to methods whereby we may have the means that en able us to pay at all. Increased wages are even more important to the working classes than reduced cost of living." Mr. Chamberlain adds that he has the fullest confidence In the working classes and in their power to realize "the great Issues which depend on our present action." RUSSIA FEARS LABOR RIOT.

Interstate Commerce Commission Will Try to Brlnfr Him to Time.- WASHINGTON, May 21. A vigorous ef fort Is to be made by the Interstate Com merce Commission to compel President Baer of the Reading Coal and Iron Com pany and the Reading Railway, and offi cials of other anthracite coal carrying roads to answer certain questions and produce certain documents which they re fused at the recent hearing before the commission in New York. The particular documents, the .originals of which are de manded by the commission, are alleged contracts among the coal-carrying roads, limiting the productirn of coal. After considering tho refusal of the offi cials to present the contracts' to the In terstate Commerce Commission, the mem bers of the commission requested Attorney-General Knox to direct General Bur nett, district attorney for the Southern District of New York, to present the case to the United States Court and ask for an order to compel the officials of the coal-; carrying roads to appear before the com mission, answer the questions and pro duce the documents.

Hearst, General Burnett has prepared the petition to be presented to the Circuit Court. It was received by the Interstate Commerce Commission today.
