(Continued from First Pase.) other similar schemes was Impracticable, the empire could not be brought to the earne plane of fruition as had occurred In the case of the United States. After a question put by David L. George. Welsh Nationalist, in reply to whom Mr. Bal four intimated that the government did not propose to deal with the question be fore the dissolution of Parliament. Mr. Chamberlain expressed surprise at the fact that his speech at Birmingham. May 15. had aroused fuch attention. It wos, the Colonial Secretary said, abso lutely the same in substance as speeches delivered by Lord Salisbury and Mr. Bal four. There was absolutely no difference of opinion between himself and Mr. Bal four. All the critics o'f his suggestions had fallen into errcr in supposing that an absolute reversal of Gnat Britain's fiscal policy was involved. Nothing of the kind had been proposed. Everything depended on the definition of "free trade,' and if Cobde n's definition, "to bring about a free interchange of commodities at their natural prices." wns accepted. then nc-Uher he nor any member of the gov ernment sought to depart therefrom. Although nothing was now suggested in th nature of a reversal of Great Britain's flscil policy, continued the Co lonial Secretary, it was certain that a mandate must be given the government if the suggestions that he had thrown out were to be carried Into effect. Tt the government received a mandate it would produce a plan. He would call an other colonial conference, but he could not negotiate with the colonies before the people had given the government a mandate. Everything would depend upon what this country had to offer. He agreed that it was undesirable to tax raw material, because Great Britain would be required to give drawbacks on the finished articles, which was a complicated system, and he preferred the simple method of taxing food. The workingman's dislike to taxes on food had no terrors for him. He was prepared to go into the homes of the laboring men and argue the subject with them. He would show them a table giving how much beer and bread thev used, and exactly how much duty they would have to, pay If this policy were carried out. He would also give them a table showing how much extra wages they u-rtuld be required to earn. If the oppo"- ' sltion were able to show that It meant greater cost of living, with no increase of wages, their optimism would be Justified, but if "he Were able to show greater In creases of wages than loss of food, then "I think I shall have a chance." ,He admitted that the grain tax though not intended to be protective, had Inci dentally protected the farmer. If food were taxed in the future, it would not te an unmixed evil, because it would help the depressed industry of agriculture and Increase Great Britain's home supply of food. More than thit. It would enable Tier to deal with Germany in defense of Canada. "We should not enter on a war of tar iffs, but I would say to Germany: 'I am afraid if you cannot meet us in this mat ter I may be compelled to put a duty on that," " The Colonlil Secretary said repeated representations had been made to Ger many in regard to Canada, but he did not see what Germany could do to meet the British views until Great Britain was in a position to touch the pockets of the German people. . Mr. Chamberlain concluded with an em phatic assertion that he intended to press the matter on public attention. After some further discussion the motion for the Whitsuntide adjournment was adopted and the House adjourned until June 8. MITCHELL TAKEN TO TASK Miner's President Criticises Hit Ac tion In Coal Strike. DENVER, May 28. President Charles Mover's annual report to the Western Federation of Miners, which is now hold ing Its convention in this city, was made public this afternoon. In opening he said that at no time since its inception had the organization been more prosperous thin at present. Referrlhg to the anthracite coal miners' strike and the results of arbitration In that case, Mr. Mover said: "Can the leader of this army of men expect to hold his organization Intact when he advises them to continue a policy which offers nothing for the future but strife and destitution, and commends the findings of a board of arbitration se lected by the representatives of capital which binds the chains of slavery more securely around his membership and de prives them of even the privilege of ap pealing to their masters for a period of three years? John Mitchell need not be surprised should his membership turn their faces to the West, seeking affiliation with organizations which have sent out their message to the world, that as labor produces all wealth. such wealth belongs to the producer thereof. "While organized labor Is forced to the strike and boycott in order to secure even a share of that which is rightfully theirs. Just so long will strife and discord con tinue." TRAIXMEX ELVPEL SPOTTER. One Excited Delegate at Rational Convention Wants to Kill Him. DENVER, May 2S. E. L. Welant, act ing as a delegate to the convention of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, whose sessions are secret, was expelled today, after he had confessed that he was an employe of Thlel's Detective Agency In Chicago. Great excitement was caused among tb delegates on the floor and the trainmen in the gillery. at the Coliseum, when Welant was brought before Grand Master Morrissey and charged with acting as a spy. "Kill him!" shouted one excited indi vidual. "None of that," said Grand Master Mor rissey, rapping for order.' All the notes in Welant's possession were taken away from him end he was escorted out of the hall by policemen. Welant, It is said, was formerly a brake man on the Rio Grande Railroad, but after going to Chicago and Joining a Brotherhood of Trainmen lodge there, he entered the service of Thlel's -agency as a spotter. TJnlons Charge Broken Faith. DENVER. May 28. The general exe cutive committee of organized labor which had charge of the recent strike in Denver, tonight Issued an address to the public Ih which It is charged that mem bers of the Citizens' Alliance, the busi ness men's organization, have violated the agreement made at the time the strike wns declared off, refusing to reinstate their lecked-out employes. .The address says: "The general executive committee de Elres to give notice to all employers who have not lived up to the agreement, that so far as they are concerned the agree ment is no longer In effect, and that or ganized labor will In the future use Its usual methods in dealing with them." The address concludes with the an nouncement that firms referred to would be declared "unfair" and treated 'accord ingly. May Close to Stop Strike Agitation. ELIZABETH. N. J.. May 2S. There Is a strong possibility that the Crescent Ship Yard at Ellzabethport will shut down for an indefinite period, because of the fre quent strikes at the plant. President Ma son Chase, of the Crescent Company, has plainly Intimated that this step might be taken if the annoyance that the manage ment of the yard has had recently to con tend with is not stopped. President Chase said today: "This tnlk by the strikers about discrimination against any union men is all nonsense. We simply laid off a few men for whom we had no work. The strike was caused by one or two' troublemakers. The men who went on strike are still at liberty to return to their jobs, but other men will not be taken back " Teamsters Go Out In Sympathy. ST. LOUIS. May 2S. The teamsters of St. Louis who last night declared a strike, thereby opposing the advice of their offi cials, went out this morning, and more freighthandlers in East St. Louis walked out In sympathy. No figures have yet been given as to the number of teamsters who struck today, but it Is said the strike,, was pot a complete walkout, as the rail roads and mercantile houses continued to handle freight, although It Is admitted they are somewhat handicapped. The Chicago & Alton freighthandlers were the first to strike in East St, Louis to'day, and later other freighthandlers went out. It is estimated that with the men who went out yesterday there are now 150) freighthandlers on strike In East St. Louis. Strikers Assault Mill Boss. PUEBLO, Colo.. May 2S. Superintend ent A. L. Conner, of the tlnplate raiU, was this morning assaulted by a number of the striking brldgemen. The signifi cance of the assault was that Conner is an officer of the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company, and not of the contracting builders. Thus, for the first time the company itself becomes directly engaged In the strike, which has been going on all the Winter. Warrants were sworn out for a dozen of the strikers, charged with assault. ! Boilermakers Iprnore Pence Pact. CHEYENNE. Wyo., May 2S. The bollermakers on the Wyoming division of the Union Pacific, except at Evanston, are still out, In spite of the adjustment of the differences yesterday afternoon. The men here declare that they will not work under a nonunion foreman, and thit all of the strikers must be reinstated at once. It Is anticipated here that the trouble will be adjusted within a short time. Death List In Wreck Is Grovrlnpr. BIRMINGHAM, Ala.. May 2S.

The Constitu tion's hoodoo almost spoiled the race-of the trial for the cup-defenders In Long Island Sound today. After sailing nine miles of the first leg of the race, the Constitution's topmost was carried away in a little puff of wind, and she was out of it for the day. When the accident oc curred the Constitution was half a mile WINNER OF THE DERBY ROCIC SAND, OWNED behind the Reliance, and was leading the Columbia by an equal distance. The Reliance and Columbia finished the race, but it had become a procession, for the Columbia was never formidable after the first five miles had been sailed. The Reliance crossed the finish line a winner by eight minutes and 27 seconds. The Constitution had sailed a game race until the accident. She had been handled skillfully, but had been unable to hold the fast Reliance. August Belmont, manager-owner, who was on board the Constitution, said her spare topmast was In Bristol, and he did not expect to get it in time to sail In Sat urday's race. No one was Injured. Clear of the wreck, the Constitution came limp ing home under slower sail. The Reli ance beat the Columbia 4 minutes and 52 seconds on the first leg. and SO seconds on the second leg. The last leg was a long slant, close-hauled, fetching the fin ishing line without a tack or hitch too closely into the wind. It was the prettiest spectacle of the day, for the wind had freshened to 12 knots and the Reliance had her lee rail down Into the froth, and was reeling off 11 knots to the hour, while the pride of former years dragged 14 miles astern. The Reliance had beaten her 3 minutes and 5 seconds on that leg. It was dull and lowering when the crews of the cup yachts came out this morning to .prepare for the fourth race over the Glen Cove course. Half a gale was blowing out of the south-southwest, and there was every indication of some grand sport in the sound, with free sheets, smooth seas and winds that follow fast. In fact, it looked early In the morning as If the yachts would have another contest over the same course as was sailed on Tuesday. Before the crews had finished their breakfart the clouds had seemingly shut In closer, and it looked at that time as if a rain storm was about to begin, but it held off, and the men about S o'clock be- MISS FLOY INDIANA GIRL.

The skippers, scenting live work and plenty of wirid. ordered oft deck the small club topsails, and the crews made preparations to Bit these sails as soon as the mainsails were up. The three cup yachts started In the fourth of the preliminary trials over the Glen Cove course. The wind at the start was from the south-southwest, and blow ing ten or eleven knots an hour. The course for today's races was a triangular ono of 25 miles. This I a run almost off the wind for 11 miles, a reach of three miles across the Sound, and a run home of 11 miles. j At the start there was a sharp contest for position between Reliance and Consti tution, Columbia keeping away and cross ing the line first. The official time: Columbia 12:15:21 Reliance 12:1G:43 Constitution 12:17:00 At half a mile from the start Reliance and Constitution passed Columbia to the windward, and Constitution had driwn up on Reliance until she was almost on her weather quarter. The wind before the yachts had sailed half the first leg dropped oft to about seven knots. At" 12:57 o'clock a schooner came be tween the yachts and observers on shore. When she moved away the Constitution had down her club topsail and was head ing for Huntington Harbor. She had met with the accident heretofore mentioned, and dropped out of the contest. The other yachts continued the race, the turn ing time at the first mark as seen from shore being: Reliance, 1:13:28. Columbia. 1:16:10. The other two boats continued In the race, and as seen from shore turned the second mark as follows: Reliance. 1:31:28. Columbia. 1:35:10. The time at the finish was: Reliance. 2:28:27.

CHICAGO, May 28. President Harper, of the University of Chicago, is strongly opposed to the Idea of students acting as "strike breakers." A railroad com pany wns apprised of this when It ap pealed to the university for 15 or 20 needy otudents to work as freighthandlers, of fering JS0 a' month for their services. Dr. Harper's attitude is that tho university should not become compromised in a labor dispute which docs not concern Itself. V. GILLMORE FIRE ON THE TROOPS Feudists Plan to Rescue or Kill Prisoners. SEARCHLIGHTBR0UGHTT0 PLAY Officers Believe It Was 'intended to Pick Off the Gatling: Gan Men' on Daty in Kentucky As sassination. JACKSON, Ky., May 28. The frustra tion of what the troops believed was a plot to rescue or kill Curtis Jett and Tom White last midnight increased the tension in Jackson today. How many men were Involved besides the one fired on, and who returned the sentry's fire, and what relation the incident had to the placing of a searchlight on the Jail grounds from a near mountainside earlier In the night, are questions in which great interest is felt Tho Illness of Judge Redwlnc also puts a new phase on the entire situation. If his condition grows worse, a special Judge will probably "be appointed. The attempt today to remove the special bailiff Is a matter of little Interest. The grounds of fered are that his brother married Mrs. Marcum's sister, and that the relation ship might influence him In the discharge of the duties of the Sheriff. The Gatling gun squad remained on duty all last night, and momentarily ex pected to be called on to repel an at tack. Very few of the soldiers slept at all. About 50 men from the country were in town yesterday evening. It Is the pop ular belief that the plan was to pick off the Gatling gun men with the aid of the searchlight and to rush the guard. The search of visitors to tho courtroom to day resulted In the finding of only one weapon, a large knife. CLEVER WORK OF BURGLARS. Combination of a Safe Is Learned ThronfsU a Mnfcnlfylnj? Glass.

WICHITA, Kan.. May 2S. J. M. Woods, the negro arrested at Yates Center, on the charge of assaulting a white woman, is now in the Wichita Jail. A mob of 300 men with a huge plank approached the door of the Jail at Yates Center, and the Sheriff, County Attorney and other coun ty officers faced it with drawn revolvers, threatening to shoot If the mob came any nearer. The mob thought they meant it. and it would retire only to make another approach. This was kept up until 1 o'clock this morning when the officers slipped their prisoner out and Into a car riage and drove 17 miles to a railroad sta tion and brought their man to Wichita.

President Also Pays the Indians a Hljsh, Compliment at Pocatello. POCATELLO. May 2S. Presldonf T?nn (velt's speech here abounded In high praise "e vno xoiiow railroading. He also complimented the Indians cm the progress they have made toward good citi zenship. His remarks were as follows: "Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: This Is a railroad town. I have been, and am now, on a trip during which, on every day and during every hour, my safety and well-being depend absolutely upon the vigilance, skill, nerve and fidelity of the railroad men, and I would like to say a special' word to and about them this morning. The last time I saw General Sherman he told me that if there ever were a war, and he were limited to choos ing meh from one occupation, he would take all his soldiers from among trfe rail road men. That Is, If he were limited to one occupation for there are good men In every occupation. But he would take them all, If he only had to choose from one occupation, because a railroad man has to develop four or five of the qualities indispensable in a soldier. "In the first place, he must have the capacity to face risk undaunted. Rail roading is one of those professions which, like following tne deep-sea fisheries, nec essarily Imply the acceptance of risk and danger, in the next place, the man has not only learned to endure risk, but to face hardships. Very few outside of those who have known intimately what railroad ing means appreciate what a ride, espe cially a night ride in the Winter time, is on one of our trains. Handling the brakes, doing ail the work along the train, the men have to face risks and also hardships. More than that, they have to face irregu lar hours. Am- one who has ever done any soldiering knows that one of the diffi culties to be overcome with the average man is to make him understand that he is not to sleep every night, but just when the chance comes. The railroad man knows that already. Acts on Ovrn Responsibility. "Finally, and most Important of all. the. rallraod man has learned two things. He has learned how to act on hi3 own respon- ity in time of emergency; how him self to tuke the lead if the need arises, and also how to obey orders and obey them quickly. There is not any time for wondering whether you will do anything at all; it's to be dene, and done quickly. These were (the reasons which General Sherman enumerated In talking to me for nis preference tor railroad men for Army llie. "Tlie qualities thus developed are of as good service in the field of citizenship, in ordinary civil life., as In military life. In this country r.e heed above all things to show our dowct each to act on his own individual responsibility; each to care for himself; to be able to handle his own lite, and yet all of us to act in co-operation with our fellows; to be able, to preserve our Independence, our self-respect, and one of the means of preserving it is to show that power of living our lives in or- : deriy liberty under law. ; "I -Msh also to say a word, of special Always on right side of question a. of time - ILLGIN W71TCH Every Elgin Watch is fully guaranteed. hare Elgin Watches. 'Tim crna Vers and 'illustrated history of the watch, sent Elqin National Watch Co., acknowledgment for the presence of the men on horseback from the Indian reser vation. I am glad to see them, and I was glad to learn that many, of the Indians under your care are traveling along the white man's road and beginning not only to send their children to school, but to own cattle and to own property. The only outcome of the Indian question in this country Is to develop gradually the Indian Into a p ropery-owning, law-abiding, hard working, educated citizen. In other words, to train him to travel the path that we are all trying to travel, and I congratulate you upon the progress that you have made. (Applause.) When he is traveling that path and when he Is doing his duty, he Is entitled to and he shall receive ex actly as square a deal as any one else. (Applause.) After all, that is the funda mental principle of our Government. In the last analysis, what America stands for more than aught else Is for treat ing each man. on his worth as a man." ROOSEVELT AND JUSTICE Exalted Quality of Mind Leads the President, Etc. PORTLAND. May 28. (To the Editor.) No more beautiful and touching Incident has occurred during the Presidential tour of the country than that at Butte yester day, when the colored people "of thatclty presented the President with a representa tion of "Justice," the scales standing at even balance, and the remarks of the President In connection with the event. "In Santiago I fought beside the colored troops of the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry. If a man Is good enough lo have him shot at while fighting beside me under the same flag he is good enough for rae to try to give a square deal in civil life. More than that I will, give no man, and less than that I will give no man." Somebody asked the other day, "What la the secret of Roosevelt's power?" The answer Is easy. The secret of his power is conscience, his sense of right and jus tice, backed by his courage to stand by the right as he sees It. He Is an honest man, a man of principle, in a high place, something of an anamoly In these days of corruption and extravagance. He loves equality and justice for all men of what ever race or condition in life, and that is i.he explanation. This rare and exalted quality of mind leads a man to see all public questions, from the standpoint of principle. He sees and considers the interests and rights of all, and there Is no other standpoint among men so strong and so enduring. This Is the source of Mr. Roosevelt's great power and popularity among the people. He can nut hlms'elt In the other man's place. The lack of Hhls sense, the want of conscience. Is the one great fault among public men. Too many pursue their Interests In a narrow, shortsighted way, Instead of on broad and defensible grounds. They seek .self, as against the rights of others, whereas they ought- to strive for it through the betterment of the whole public, "giving" as Mr. Roose velt said, "a square deal to each and every man." If men loved Justice and followed It, there would be no bitter or cruel conten tion In the world. There could be no clash between employer and employe. There would be no lock-outs and no strikes. Baer and the humblest miner In the pit would find common ground of agreement and co-operation. But what Is done dally everybody knows. Some greedy, selfish man, or Interest, schemes for unfair advantage over some other man or Interest, and that man or Interest strikes back, and so, through dishonesty, struggle and violence go "on from genera tion to generation. And they will go on, eo long as men practice as they now do. Peace can never come to the world until Juptrce metes out her perfect work to all. high and low, rich and poor, black and white. Jew or Gentile. It is injustice that breeds all wars, civil or military. Presi dent Lincoln was and Is loved, and his memory revered, because he was just minded. He did not live for himself alone, but strove to give all an equal chance In the race of life, and It Is this same broad-mindedness that characterizes Mr. Roosevelt. Oh, the beauty, the utility of righteousness! Hasten th day of Its more perfect work on the earth! LEVI W. MYERS. HANNA'S GRACIOUS WORDS He Praises Roosevelt at Convention Which Indorses Him. CLEVELAND. O.. May 28. The Repub lican County Convention today adopted resolutions indorsing the Administration of President Roosevelt and recommend ing his renomlnation and election in 1901. Senator Hanna addressed the convention, and paid a high tribute to . President Roosevelt and his Administration. He said In part: "I have nothing but commendation for the record of the President, who, from that awful day in Buffalo, when in the presence of his Cabinet, he registered a vow and called as witness the whole American people that it would be his duty as well as Mis pleasure to carry out the polIaIC3 of William McKlnley. "That utterance gave him a high place in -the hearts of the American people, and to the best of his ability he has labored honestly to carry out that pledge." Lady Stepney Granted n Divorce.
