THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, JULY SO, 1901.
TO TAKE UP PEACE OFFER
LEADERS OF STEELWORKERS
WILL CONFER TODAY.
Term on Which Employers Propose
to Settle the Strike Are
Still Secret.
PITTSBURG. July 29. "The executive
committee of the Amalgamated Associa
tion -will meet In the headquarters of the
organization at 10 o'clock tomorrow -morning,
or as soon thereafter as possible,
end take up the proposition of the Unit
ed States Steel Corporation for a settle
ment of the eteclworkers' strike." This
statement was made today by Secretary
Williams, of the Amalgamated Associa
tion. Beyond this, he declined to discuss
the strike In any form.
There was no change In the position of
the contending forces today. No further
attempt was made to start tho idle mills,
and there were no accessions to the ranks
of the strikers. An early report that the
tlnplate company was making an effort
to start the Demmler plant with non
union men, and that one set of rolls
was being operated, was afterward ex
plained as a rumor that started from the
, fact that the company had some men
at work repairing the plant, with the
expectation that the strike would be set
tled shortly.
This was a busy day for President
Shaffer and the executive officials of the
Amalgamated Association. There was a
steady stream of callers from early morn
ing, and Innumerable conferences bearing
on the proposed settlement of the strike.
President Shaffer was firm In his deter
mination not to talk on the strike situ
ation until after the meeting tomorrow.
Colonel G. Watson French and J. F.
Taylor of the Republic Iron &' Steel
Company, had a lengthy conference with
President Shaffer, but the object of their
call was not made public. It was raid,
however, that it had no connection with
the strike settlement, but rather to the
affairs of the Toungstown company. It
was .said the Republic Company was In
need of a number of skilled men, and
In search of them. After the visit of
Colonel French, Joseph Bishop, secretary
of the Ohio Board of Arbitration, went
Into conference with President Shaffer.
His visit was in connection with the
strike, and its probable settlement. What
was said, however, was not divulged, and
will not be. It is believed Mr. Bishop
has been actively engaged in bringing
about the last conference between the
strikers and the steel trust.
One of the most apparent facts, In the
status of the strike today, was the deter
mination of the strikers to lose no ground
in their struggle, while peace negotia
tions are being conducted. The strikers
allege to have more than held their own
ground since the strike began, and since
the opening of the campaign they con
tenTX that they have Increased their mem
bership in McKeesport alone to about
1500. Accessions to the ranks of the
Amalgamated Association have also been
made at Wellsvllle, Pittsburg, Allegheny,
Mingo Junction and Riverside, W. Va.
where one of the National Tube Com
pany's mills is operated.
With the American Steel Hoop Com
pany the condition has been one of the
most sweeping. Before the strike, prac
tically all but two of the mills were non
union. At this time, all but one of tho
mills of this company are union, and are
Idle from the strike. The situation of
the American Tlnplate Company is well
understood. All of the mills of that
company are working under union rules,
excepting the Monessen mill. The story
told of this mill Is that, under the agree
ment made at the time It was secured
by the trust, the management of the
plant was to be -left in the hands of the
former officials for a period of five years.
This was done In order to prove the value
of the patent methods for producing tin
plate there. This plant Is still running
nonunion, and though 36 men have been
discharged from the plant for embracing
union principles. Manager Percy Donner
says the plant is running full, and has
not been affected by the strike in the
least. The mill employs $00 men.
TERMS OF SETTLEMENT.
Contention for Slernins of Scale In
All Mills Is to Be Dropped.
PITTSBURG. July 29. The following
terms of settlement of the 6trlke, and
the programme for tomorrow, come from
an authoritative source and can be re
lied upon, in all human probability, as
the outcome of fhe meeting of the con
ferees: The Amalgamated Association is to
drop the contention for the signing of a
scale for all mills.
All mills are to be "open" mills In the
fullest sense of the term.
The company is to have the right to
place a nonunion man in any plant, and
keep him there.
In addition to the plants covered by
the expired scale, it Is to be signed by the
following: The W. Dewees-Wood, of
McKeesport; the Painter, Lindsay & Mc
Cutcheon and Clark mills, of Pittsburg,
and the Monessen plants, of the Ameri
can Steel Hoop Company.
The question of making the Wellsvllle
Steel plant, and the Monessen tlnplate
plant directly covered by the scale, Is
to be settled by the conferees.
The Amalgamated Association is to have
the privilege of organizing the men In
any of the plants.
The executive committee of the Amal
gamated Association will meet at head
quarters at 10 o'clock in the morning,
and Is expected to ratify the provisional
terms outlined by the New York con
ference. An Informal meeting of con
ferees to represent the three operating
companies in the joint conference Is to
be held at the same time. The manufac
turers' conferees of the last meeting will
be In readiness to meet the Amalgamated
men, possibly at the Amalgamated head
quarters, In the BIssell block, in the af
ternoon to sign the scales.
May Aid the Strikers.
NEW YORK, July 29. The Tribune
Bays:
The Amalgamated Association of Iron
& Steel Workers, being affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor, the officers
of the latter, it Is learned, are paying par
ticular attention to the strike of the steel
workers. A circular has been sent out by
the federation to all Its affiliated unions,
informing themtobeready to take action
regarding the strike if It is considered ex
pedient to do so. Should no settlement
be reached and the strike be extended, it
Is expected that an appeal will be made
to the federation for financial aid, when,
it Is said, the executive council of the
federation will meet, and may levy an as
sessment In favor of the strikers.
BOTH SIDES WANT PEACE.
Employers Are Equally ns Anxious
for It m the Strikers.
PITTSBURG, July 29. There is little
doubt that officials of tho United States
Steel Corporation are as anxious to have
the strike settled as are the strikers.
During the last week a number of con
tracts intended for, and practically let
to mills of the combine, were shifted to
independent mills, with rush clauses at
tached. Terms of the prospective settlement are
being carefully guarded by all concerned,
but from a source believed to be relia
ble, it Is stated that Mr. Morgan proposes
to permit the Amalgamated Association
to continue its lodges in the mills that
were nonunion prior to, the strike, but
which went out-on President Shaffer's
strike order. The United States Steel
Corporation is to be permitted to oper
ate .all of the mills of the Carnegie
Company as they are now operat
ed, as well as the big steel mills at Apol
lo, Vandergrlft and Saltsburg, provided
the wages paid shall be of the same
basis as In the mills where the union
6cale has been signed.
There is considerable speculation as to
who will take part in the joint peace
conference, provided the- terms as agreed
upon at New York are satisfactory to
the Amalgamated executive board. This
board is composed of nine district vice
presidents, the three trustees. President
Shaffer, Secretary Williams, AssiGtantJ
Secretary Tighe and B. I. Davis, manager
of the Amalgamated Journal. The Amer
ican Tlnplate Company will probably be
represented by Vice-President Warner
Arms and W. M, Leeds, his assistant;
Veryl Preston, ex-president of the' Ameri
can Steel Hoop Company, and probably
I. W. Jenks. ex-general manager of the
Hoop Combine; John Warner, general su
perintendent of the American Sheet Steel
Company; C. W. Bray, chief engineer of
the American Tlnplate Company; J. R.
Phillips, district manager of the same
company, and P. E. "Bonner, manager of
the Monessen Tlnplate Company, may
probably be called In. Neither P. Smith,
district manager of the American Sheet
Steel Company, nor John Jarrett, labor
commissioner of the same company. Is
liable to appear. They have ruffled the
feathers of the Amalgamated leaders so
much before that It Is not believed they
will attend now.
Today the strike of the workers in all
of the mills proceeded as though nothing
had happened. The conditions1 are as
they have been since the opening of hos
tilities. The strikers In the vicinity of McKees
port spent a night of great vigilance de
spite the rumors from New York that a
truce until Tesday had; been declared
between representatives of J. P. Morgan
and President Shaffer, of the Amalga
mated Association. The National Tin
plate Works at Demmler were a storm
center during the night. Rumors that the
mills were to be opened by men from the
independent mills at Monessen brought
the strikers to the banks of the Monon
gahela, where they remained on wafch
until this morning, and then, after three
rousing cheers, they went home, the men
becoming convinced of the truth of the
report that no move to start the mills
would be made until after Tuesday,
when a decision of Mr. Morgan and the
Amalgamated officials will be made
known.
The welders of the National Tube
Company mill here, who have been or
dered to sign Individual contracts, held
a secret meeting in a McKeesport hall
last night, where it Is said arrangements
were made to form a Federation of La
bor lodge. The welders come under the
Federation class, and cannot become
Amalgamated Association members. All
other newly-formed lodges in the vicinity
of McKeesport held meetings yesterday
and took in many new members. No ef
fort has been made to start the sheet
mill of the Dewees-Wood Company at
McKeesport.
The Wellsvllle plant was In operation
today, with the same number of mills
running as last week. The strikers are
orderly, but still vigilant, and early this
morning captured four unknown negroes
claiming to be from Alabama. While they
alleged to have no knowledge of steel
working, and to be en route West, their
stories conflicted with the inquiries made
by the street railway men, and they were
taken across the river to the strikers'
camp.
CONFIDENT OF SUCCESS.
No One at Pittsburg Believes Pence
Terms Will Be Rejected.
PITTSBURG, July 29. Plttsburgers gen
erally express their delight at the antici
pated settlement of the strike, and no
one seems to have the slightest doubt that
the negotiations for peace will result in
a cessation of hostilities. So far, neither
of the contending forces " has suffered
greatly. Working under the severe strain
of the oppressive heat lately would have
been an unusual hardship, and the men
think that on this account perhaps many
lives have been saved by the strike. So
far as the companies are concerned, they
are also in better position for work now
than they were before the strike. Many
mills have been repaired, and the condi
tions for an increased output are greatly
Improved. It Is true that a computation
of cold figures foots up a loss of $6,516,000
on account of the strike, of which Im
mense sum $3,960,000 Is charged to the
combine, and $2,516,000 to the strikers, but
this loss will soon be made up, owing to
the better prices which now prevail, and
the improved operating conditions, as well
as the better feeling between employer
and employe.
President Schaffer and Secretary Will
iams were both at the Amalgamated head
quarters early this morning. They still
maintained their position of secrecy, how
ever, and, beyond admitting that a call
had been sent out last night to all the
members of the executive board for a
meeting to be held in this city tomorrow
morning, refused to give any Information
as to the probable settlement of tho strike.
Secretary Bishop, of the Ohio Boarrd of
Arbitration, reached the Amalgamated
headquarters about 10 o'clock, and immedi
ately went into a secret conference with
President Shaffer. The conference lasted
for about an hour, and when It was over
Colonel French, Secretary Bishop and
William Collier were seen, but they re
fused to say anything concerning the mat
ter under discussion. Shortly before noon
President Shaffer quietly slipped out of
the office through a rear door. He re
turned about 2 o'clock, and held a long
conference with Secretary Bishop and M.
M. Garland. During the conference the
doors of tho headquarters were locked,
but from an adjoining building, Shaffer
and Bishop could frequently be seen at
the telephone. At the close of the meet
ing none of those who participated in
the conference would talk.
Union Advocates Blgr Defense Fund.
NEW YORK, July 29. The World says:
Resolutions advocating the raising of
a $500,000 defense fund, and other things
bearing on the steel and other strikes,
were discussed at a recent meeting of
the Central Federation Union of New
York. The resolutions will be voted on
next Sunday. They advocate also the
retention of a lawyer, who shall be paid
"a sufficient fee to be above the reach of
temptation," and who shall be called upon
to attend to all cases in the courts in
behalf of organized labor throughout the
country.
Employers to Issue Statement.
NEW YORK, July 29. The more prom
inent men concerned in the affairs of the
United States Steel Corporation were not
to be found at their usual stopping
places in this city tonight. A member of
one of the constituent companies of the
steel corporation said tonight:
"A statement will be issued from Judge
Gary's office tomorrow. There has been
a great deal of conjecture on the part
of the newspapers, and this statement
will develop a contrast between conjec
ture and the real facts In the case."
Morgan to Get La Fayette Relics.
LONDON, July 29. "J. Pierpont Mor
gan, before his recent departure for the
United States,." says the Paris corre
spondent of the Daily Express, "left a
check for 10,000 with General Horace
Porter, to be paid on delivery at the
United States Embassy of certain valu
able relics of La Fayette, said to be in a
pawnbroker's shop in London. "How
they got there is not known, but the
story Is that among them is the sculp
tured gold jug and sword carried through
out the American campaign, and which
La Fayette left to his heirs."
Jury in Glenn Case Still Out.
PARKERSBURG. W. Va., July 29. The
jury in the Ellis Glenn case is still out.
Tho members were brought into court
tfnls morning, after spending Sunday In
custody of the jailer, and Immediately
went into deliberation. At 4:30 P. M. the
notified the court that they -could not
agree. They were then excused until
.Tuesday. It Is expected that they stand
10 for acquittal and two for conviction.
KING'S MEMORY HONORED
SERVICES FOR HUMBERT
THROUGHOUT ITALY.
HELD
Rome Was the Ccntcrtof the Observ

Were in the Parade.
ROME, July 29. The first anniversary
of the tragic death of King Humbert,
who was assassinated at Monza July 29,
last, by Gastanla BrescI, an anarchist,
was celebrated today by commemorative
services throughout Italy. Rome is the
center of the observances, and there
are 100,000 visitors here. In addition, mem
bers of . the royal family, Senators and
Deputies assembled at the capital and
took part In the ceremonies.
The pilgrimage to the Pantheon oc
curred at 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
There was an Immense procession, com
posed of delegations from all the Ital

military ana labor associations, with
flags and bands of music. It was esti-
JUDGE ADVOCATE OF THE
CAPTAIN SAMUEL C. LEMLEY.
WASHINGTON. July 20. Captain Samuel C. Lemley, Judge-Advocate of tho
Schley court of inquiry, is now engaged In making up his case. On his findings
will largely depend the selection of witnesses before the court of inquiry, which,
by order of Secretary Long, is to thoroughly investigate the Sampson - Schley
controversy. Captain Lemley is the Judge-Advocato of the Navy. His compe
tency as an official Is best illustrated by the fact that, although Secretary
Long had practically selected Captain John Pillsbury for the position of Judge
Advocate, his name was abandoned, as it was deemed the appointment of Cap
tain Lemley would constitute a fuller recognition of tho dignity and importance
of the court of Inquiry. Captain Lemley has known both men, Schley better than
Sampson, perhaps. Ht was one of Schley's personal friends when he (fcemley)
was n active line service. He accompanied Schley on the famous Greejy relief
expedition, and rendered valuable services to him on that occasion. On -the other
hand. Captain Lemley has known Sampson officially in the Navy Department,
when the Admiral was at the head of the Ordnance Bureau, and thus they
were thrown into close contact, In a business way, for several years. Captain
Lemley was Judge-Advocate of the Jeannette. court of Inquiry. .

mated that about 100,000 persons were in
the parade. Tho most picturesque par
ticipants were garbed in multi-colored
historic costumes. Innumerable wreaths
were carried in the procession. Enor
mous crowds lined the route, and the
windows, balconies and roofs were
crowded to their utmost capacity. All
stores were closed, and everywhere flags
were displayed at half mast. As the
procession entered tho Pantheon, those
who participated in it filed past tho
vault containing the remains of King
Humbert, and there depostted the wreaths.
The ceremonies closed this evening at
the Adriano Theater, where addresses
were delivered.
Tho most noteworthy provincial cele
bration occurred at Milan, in which city
there was a pilgrimage to Monza, the
scene of the assassination of the King.
The wreaths were so numerous that the
field on which Kink Humbert's last re
view was held was converted Into a
flower garden.
The first stone of the expiatory chapel
which is being erected by King Victor
Emmanuel, was laid by the Duke of
Abruzzi, representing the King of Italy.
Patcrson Anarchists Celebrate.
NEW YORK, July 29. Bartholdl Hall, In
Paterson, N. J., was packed today by the
friends of BrescI, the assassin of King
Humbert of Italy, thle being the anni
versary of the deed. Pedro Esteve, editor
of La Question Sociale, one of the speak
ers, outdid his previous efforts in lauding
BrescI. He was encouraged by frequent
cheers.
"I wish every country had a BrescI,
said Esteve, and the sentiment was vo
ciferously applauded. "Down with mon
archies, down with empires,'" he con
tinued, and the cheers were accentuated.
The speaker, referring to Bresci's com
panions who sailed with him, said they
sailed for the same purpose. "They all
went to do what BrescI did," he said.
It appeared from further remarks that
two others had been selected to do the
work which Bresol did, but, they failed.
One of them; Matteo, committed suicide.
The other, Splrondo, was let off on con
dition that he kill a shop foreman, who
was objectionable to the Italians. Es
teve in conclusion, complimented the au
thorities of Paterson, who "permitted
these meetings, while the police of New
York and Brooklyn prohibit them."

LONDON, July 29. In the House of
Lords today. Lord Salisbury, the Pre
mier, read a message from King Edward
to the effect that, in consideration of the
eminent services of Field Marshal Rqb

mended that Parliament grant him the
sum of 100,000, $500,000.
Irish Nationalists Will Oppose Grant
NEW YORK. July 29. A dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
The Irish Nationalists have determined
to oppose the royal declaration bill, the
King's title bill, and the money grant
to Lord Roberts. As Roman Catholics,
the Nationalists regard the proposed
amendment to the royal declaration as
unsatisfactory and Inadequate, and they
will hardly allow the bill to pass without
a struggle. Not much opposition is ex
pressed to the King's title bill, but the
Nationalists will, on account of the war
in South Africa, object to the large grant
to Earl Roberts for his services to the
state. In 1891, when Lord Roberts re
ceived a Baronetcy, in recognition of his
services in Afghanistan, the sum of 12,500
was voted to him, and a pension of 100
was also conferred upon xhlm. Lord Wol
seley, however, received 25,000 after, the
Ashantee campaign, and 30,000 after the
Egyptian War. To General Kitchener was
granted 30,000 after the Soudan cam
paign, and another grant may be awarded
to him at the next session- for his work
In South Africa. General Buller Is out of
sympathy with the desire of certain poli
ticians to raise the question why his
claims have been passed over. It Is stated
that ho would regard the Introduction of
his name and services into the discussion
on Lord Roberts' grant as neither
friendly to himself nor worthy of his position.
COMMERCIAL WAR DECLARATION.
Von Bnlow Knows, However, the
German Tariff Bill Will Fail.
NEW YORK, July 29. A dispatch to the
Herald from Berlin says:
The tariff project, which was published
In all the papers Saturday, is an open
declaration of commercial .war with Rus
sia, Austria and the United States, but
Count von Bulow knows the Bundesrath
will not confirm it. It is therefore a clev
erly conceived sop for the Agrarians, in
tended to show his sympathy for them.
Commerce means everything in Ger
many's future relations with Russia.
Count von Bulow, as is well known, Is
keenly anxious to resume the old-time
good relations with Russia. That can
only be- accomplished by the maintenance
nf trnnri trnrio i-alntlnric Pnnnt vnn Bulow
has now to face tho greatest difficulty he
SCHLEY COURT OF INQUIRY.
has ever encountered. It is to reconcile
the demands of Russia for favorable
treatment in the forthcoming treaty of
commerce and at the same time meet
the urgent demands for protection made
by the Agrarians, a most powerful party,
which Is composed of the most solid sup
porters of the crown.
For months past the German Chancellor
has been struggling against the well-organized
efforts of the Agrarians. Do
what he would, it 'was always the same
cry, "Protect us or we will bring all the
power of our opposition against you."
Count Bulow is resourbeful and knows
most of the political moves upon the
board likely to bring the opinion of par
ties round to his side, but with these
hard-headed Agrarians his attempts to
coerce or cajole have been fruitless. The
result Is the publication ofthe new tar
iff, which is to go into force after the
present treaties of commerce with Rus
sia and other countries empire.
Russian wheat has heretofore paid a duty
of 2(, marks. In future it will pay from
5 to 6V4 marks. Cattle and horses will
also be subjected to much heavleY taxa
tion, but thfe will affect Austria and the
United States much more than Russia.
It is the wheat tax which will hit Rus
sia so hard and which will undoubtedlv
call forth from M. de Witte a very stiff
counter duty upon a multitude of cheap
manufactured goods, with which Germany
floods Russia just as she does other coun
tries. M. de Witte will probably hit back
very hard, all the more so as Russia
has done so much to build up an Import
ant grain trade with Germany. The
diminution of such trade will Inflict a
very heavy blow upon the carrying trade,
which is necessary for the prosperity of
the dally increasing railroad system of
the empire. Thus Germany will And
countervailing duties imposed upon Its
manufactures-, particularly upon the curi
ous small things which, reach large finan
cial totals, such as purses, celluloid col
lars, shirt fronts and a thousand other
things sold cheaply in second-rate shops
all over Russia.
The new tariff does hot, It is said, go
into operation until the month of De
cember, 1903, so there is plenty of
time for the two countries to try to ar
range some modus Vivendi. In tho mean
time the outlook is as bad as possible,
and this not only applies to Russia, but
to Germany, Austria and Italy and In a
very marked degree tq the United States.
THE CHINESE INDEMNITY.
Rockhill Gives Some of the Detail's
of the .Financial Arrangement.
WASHINGTON, July 29.-Cable dis
patches from Mr. Rockhill, the United
States Special Commissioner at Pekin,
set out some of the details of the finan
cial arrangement regarding the indem
nity, not heretofore disclosed. Hn -
i ports that the Interest on the indemnity
uegan to run July 1 of this year, and
the payments will become due semi-annually,
the first to be met January 1
next. China will be allowed three years
before making tho first payment on ac
count of the principal of the Indemnity.
The moneys, both on account of the prin
cipal and Interest, will be received by a
financial committee located at Shanghai,
to be known as the "Committee of En
cashment" This will be composed of
the heads of foreign banks at Shanghai,
selected by the governments interested in
the payments. The committee Is to dis
tribute the funds turned In by the Chinese
Government among the various powers in
proportion to the interest payments due
them.
The diplomatic court at Pekin favors
the immediate application of the new
tariff, the effect of which will be to abol
ish the free list except as to cereals.
Mr. Rockhill has been Instructed bv the
State Department to urge the exemption J
from the new rates of cargoes now afloat.
He Is also to try to secure a" postpone
ment of the application of the tariff
until Importers have had an opportunity
to complete contracts. i
Amcrlcun Postal Service in China.
WASHINGTON, July 29. The Postmaster-General
has Issued an order formally
placing the American postal service In
China on the same basis as before the
outbreak. The practical operation of the
military postal service ceased some time
ago, and the postal attaches have either
returned here or to other posts.

CADIZ, July 29. On the arrival hero of
the German squadron, commanded by
Prince Henry of Prussia, the latter tele
graphed, In tho name of Emperor Will

Sauatlron Will Visit Brest.
PARIS, 'July 29. It is reported in Parla
that the German squadron now at Ca
diz, where it has gone to meet and escort
Count Von Waldersee on his return from
China, will visit Brest. It is asserted
that letters addressed to the squadron
have already arrived In Brest, where the
squadron Is expected before August 1.
The papers comment upon tho fact that
this would be the first occasion since 1S70
when a German squadron has entered the
port of Brest. There are only three
French -Warships there now, and the
Northern squadron is engaged in maneu
vers in tho Mediterranean.

commando, accompanied by women and
children, has entered Portuguese terri
tory in the neighborhood of the Limpopo

been sent to disarm the party of "Boers.
Successor to Kitchener.
NEW YORK, July 29. A dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
Y It is freely rumored that General Lyttle-
ton will succeed Lord Kitchener as Commander-in-Chief
of the "British forces in
South Africa. General Kitchener, it may
be assumed, will not be recalled until the
end of the war is at last actually in sight,
so Lyttleton's task will be more passive
and administrative than belligerent. Gen
eral Lyttleton did good work under General
Buller In the early days of the war, but
Generals Forestlcr-Walker and Methuen
are both senior to him. Neither of these
men Is, however, likely to be appointed,
and It must be said In favor of the choice
of Lyttleton that he has distinguished
himself in civil life.
Boers Taken by British Up to July 1,
LONDON, July 29. Lord Stanley, Finan
cial Secretary at the War Office, replying
to a question in the House of Commons to
day, said the numbers of Boers made pris
oners, or who 'had surrendered since the
declaration of war, totalled 33,000 up to
July 1.
UPROAR IN HOUSE OF COMMONS.
Redmond nnd O'Brien Were "Named"
and Suspended.
LONDON, July 30. There was wild up
roar in tho House of Commons between
1 and 2 o'clock this morning, at the
conclusion of the debate on taxation of
agricultural p.rojierty. The Conservatives
interrupted Mr. Walton, Liberal, with
cries of "divide." William Redmond, on
a point of order, called the attention of
the Speaker to the Interruption, but the
Speaker ruled that the point was not
well taken. Mr. Walton resumed, quite
lnaudibly, owing to the persistent cries
of "divide." Mr. Redmond shouted:
"police, police." The Speaker said this
expression was disorderly.
Mr. Redmond: "Why don't you keep
order?"
The Speaker directed him to Iqave the
House and "named" him.
Mr. Balfour, the Government leader,
moved Mr. Redmond's suspension, and
this was carried by a vote of 303 to 71.
Patrick O'Brien persisted In the same
point of order and was in turn "named,"
and suspended. The bill was adopted.
CHOATE AGAINST FLOGGING.
London Paper Tnkes Exception to
Speech, Sayinpr Old "Way Is Best.
LONDON, July 30. Mr. Choate, presid
ing yesterday at a distribution of prizes
to pupils of the London University School,
alluded deprecatlngly to the "delicate sub
ject of flogging," which had been aban
doned, he said, "years and years ago In
America." His utterances have led to
some editorial comment In the morning

Thousands of women suffer from sys
temic catarrh. This is suro to produce
such symptoms as cold leet and hands,
sick headache, palpitation of the heart
and heavy feelings in the stomach.
Then begins a series of experiments with
medicine. They take medicine for .sick
headache. They take medicine for ner
vous prostration, for palpitation of the
heart, for dyspepsia. None of these medi
cines do any good because they do not
reach the cause of the complaint.
Peruna at once mitigates all these symp
toms by removing the cause.
Systemic catarrh Is the trouble. Sys
temic catarrh pervades the whole system,
deranges every organ, weakens every
function. No permanent cure can be ex
pected until the systemic catarrh Is re
moved. This Is exactly what Peruna will do.
Miss Alma Cox, Assistant Postmistress
of Orum, S. C, writes:

chronic disease and dyspepsia for five
years. How I suffered no tongue can tell.
I tried eight or 10 of , the best physicians

WILKESBARRE, Pa., July 29. George
T. Edmunds, of Plymouth, has located
his daughter, Sadie, who nine years ago,

AIRSHIP WORKED WELL.
Dnmont Mndc Another Successful
Experiment at Paris.
PARIS, July 29. M. Santos-Dumont
made another successful experiment this
afternoon with a dirigible balloon, sail
ing from St. Cloud to the Longchamps
race course, around which he steered the
balloon, and ascended and descended, oc
cupying 20 minutes. Though a.sktnl to
make an attempt to go around the Eiffel
Tower, the aeronaut declined, saying his
motor was not yet working as well as
he desired. The weather was cloudy,
which may have Influenced his decision.
During the trip M. Santos-Dumont cut
one of his hands slightly with a guido
rope. Otherwise there was no accident.
The crowd warmly cheered M. Santos
Dumont at the start, and on his descent
his friends crowded around him, and
warmly congratulated him upon his suc
cess. The aeronaut started at 4:35 P. M., and
descended at 4:53 P. M. The exhibition,
though successful, was disappointing, in
that he did not go around the Eiffel
Tower, though he had announced his in
tention of attempting that feat. An
hour later, a heavy rain squall swept over
the Eiffel Tower and the Bois. which
justified the prudence of M. Santos-Dumont
in declining to make a further
ascension today. When the balloon was
maneuvering over the Longchamps
race course, smoke was seen to be issu
ing from the motor, which M. Santos
Dumont said, on descending, was due to
a slight defect in the apparatus. He was
satisfied he could make the trip to the
Eiffel Tower and back, but apparently
feared he would not be able to obtain
sufficient speed to fulfill the conditions
of the Deutsche prize.
