BALFOUR ELOQUENT
IN DAY OF FAILURE
Ex-Leader of Unionists Sees
No Triumph of Enemies, in.
Coming "of Home Rule.
LABOR rOF LIFE IS LOST
Bitter Opposition to Separate Parlia
' ' merit Xot Abated, Yet Sacrifice
Is Agreed To in Hope or
Averting Civil War.
LONDON'. May 24. The speech of
Arthur J. Balfour in the recent debates
in the House of Commons on home rule,
wherein the former leader of the
Unionist party admitted the failure of
liis long life efforts toward mainten
ance of the Union, was one of the most
eloquent in the recent history of
parliament. It had its parallel more
than 100 years ago when Grattan, in
his maiden speech in the Imperial
House of Commons, on May 13, 1813,
referred to the Irish parliament, whose
legislative independence , had been
achieved by his exertions, and whose
destruction he deplored.
"Of that assembly' Grattan declared,
'I have a parental recollection: I sat
. by her cradle, I followed her hearse."
Sacrifice Made to Avoid War.
Mr. Balfour is much in the same
position He is one of the last to
admit that home rule, in some form
or another, is now inevitable. He has
steadily fought against a Dublin
parliament, hoping that time would
bring about a reconciliation between
the people of the two islands, and old
quarrels would be forgotten. He is
still bitterly opposed to home rule, and
yet is willing to mace great sacrifices
to avoid Civil War. Mr. Balfour said:
"There was a time, not so very long
ago, as my life is measured, when I
cherished the dream that if law was
restored in the Southern Province of
Ireland, if every grievance were re
moved, if every inequality were
smoothered away, if every encourage
ment were given to the legitimate in
dustry, if every equality and more than
equality were given to our Irish fellow-subjects,
ancient memories would
gradually soften, men would look for
ward as well as backward, and there
would grow up what there ought to be
between these two"1slands a common
hope, a common loyalty, confidence in
a common heritage and that all this
might be accomplished under one
parliament. I
Cannes Fated to Be Lost.
"For that I have striven, for that I
have argued in this house and out
of it. for that I have worked weary
hours at legislative projects and striven
to accommodate legislative details to
the needs and necessities of the mo
ment. And, sir, if the result of all is
that. In order that civil war may be
avoided, with all its incalculable hor
rors, there is yet to be established in
Iublln a separate parliament to the in
jury, as I personally think, of the Irish
people and not less perhaps to the
British people then, sir, 1 may be an
object of pity to the right honorable
pentlemen. but he need not think I
shall regard such a consummation as
a triumph of my political enemies.
"On the contrary, it is the mark of!
the failure of a life's work, it is the
admission that the causes for which
I have most striven and most earnest
ly sought to accomplish are fated to
break down, and that the long labors
spent in this house and out of it have
not borne the fruit that I once hoped
they might."
ISTHMUS IS CONGESTED
FREIGHT PILES IP SIXCIC TK-.
HUANTEPEC ROAD IS CLOSED.
Starting of Barge Line Through Canal
la Move to Relieve Situation.
Pontoon Bridge In Place.
PANAMA, May 24. Stoppage of the
Tehuantepec railway route across Mex
ico has so increased traffic across the
Isthmus of Panama that the Panama
Railroad is almost unable to cope with
the situation. Practically every car the
railroad owns is in service and still
mountains of freight at tho terminals
show no signs of diminution. Several
large freighters are seen .daily at
anchor in the Pacific roadstead off Bal
boa waiting for a chance to get to the
wharf to unload their cargoes, that are
destined finally to reach New York and
other Eastern United States ports.
- At the time the route across Mexica
was. Interrupted there were several
ships unloading in the harbor at Salina
Cruz. livery effort was made to un
load the ships and get away before the
port was closed, but several of the ves
sels were unable to get their cargoes on
the wharf in time. In consequence they
sailed for Panama with parts of their
cargoes.
The arrival of the sugar ships of the
Hawaiian-American line led. the Pan
ama Canal authorities to start a barge
line through the canal ' in hope of re
lieving the situation.
The pontoon bridge across the canal
at Paraiso has been swung into po
sition and in future will be used by the
Panama Railroad in operating its trains
on the west side of the canal.
brought to public notice by a police
matron.
- James Gill, an assistant in the De
partment of Public Safety for "Women,
of which Mrs. Iola Baldwin is head,
arrested the girl May 18, and a com
plaint, dated May 22. was filed against
her Friday. Gill says he filed the com
plaint the day after he arrested the
girl. No warrant was procured, by Gill,
and he did not cause her to be booked
on the police docket, so that the court
attaches did not know of the arrest,
and she lay in jail until discovered by
chance.
She testified to Judge Stevenson that
Gill told her he was not arresting her,
but merely wished her to go to the
police station to give evidence against
a man companion. The man compan
ion was not arrested, but she was
charged with vagrancy and held in jail.
She saidj. that she could obtain em
ployment at a South Portland resi
dence, and was allowed to go. Neither
Gill not Mrs. Baldwin appeared against
her in court.

WASHINGTON, May 23. Increasing
gravity of the Dominican revolution
was reflected in dispatches from naval
commanders today in Dominican

Eberle, of the" cruiser Washington, in

Puerto Plata. No injury to foreigners
reported. Messages from Receiver

rebel forces were reported marching
against capital. Castine arrived at
Sanchez 5 P.M. Friday. Between 8 and
10 o'clock this evening brisk rifle en
gagement on south and west sides
Puerto Plata, with occasional artillery
fire by Bordas' forces."
Commander Carter, of the gunboat
Castine, sent this report from Santo
Domingo City:
"Governor of Samana province with
100 men now here. Revolutionists
with about 150 men on hills outside of
Sanchez. Desultory shooting by rebels
Thursday and today. Government
troops did not return fire. No casual
ties. Railroad open for 30 miles, be
yond that revolutionaries control! No

Vulene Eastman Reports Loss on Eve
of Her Wedding.
On the eve of her wedding, the
trousseau of Miss Valene Eastman, of
1404 East Seventeenth street, w&s
stolen from an office in a downtown

her that a young woman left the build

Cer to all detectives last night to
