Mr.. Chamberlain Declares for Peace If
Possible, Justice at Amy Rate.
LONDON, June 30.-The dinner of the
Golden Club took place at Greenwich to-
night. NJ. Clemenceau. the French Re-
publican, who had expected to be pre-
sent, was absent. Mr.. Chamberlain.
President of the Board of Trade. pre-
sided. Mr.. Chamberlain, in a speech,
deprecated peace at any price
policy, and insisted upon the wis
dom of not interfering with cases like the
American war. He said that the Radi-
Gals in England would make the greatest
sacrifices to secure the unity of the Liberal
party. They were willing to yield liberty
of action for the present. but not lib
erty of opinion. The Radicals were the
pioneers. Unity of party was undesirable
a5 the price of their silence.
Sir Charles Dixie, President of the To-
cal government board, iii proposing a
toast to the ''FOreign VISITORS" said that
the protective countries were drifting in
the direction of moderate duties, and that
there had been a great change in
the past year in favor OF
free trade in America, where the Golden
Club has more honorary members than
anywhere else. Horace White said that
abstract free trade principles had made
little progress in America, but that free
trade itself had made much progress. The
Democrats would not do anything heroic.
a little more bankruptcy would do
more for knocking off the tariff
there than free trade doctrines.
When the free trade should be adopted in
America, that country would become
England's greatest competitor in the
worlds commerce.
Mr.. Shearman recOunted the history of
free trade and protection in America, ex-
planning that protection was due to the
civil war. Though expecting no imme-
diate results, he said that he considered
the prospect of free trade in America
BRIGHT.

MURCH,s CASE AGAINST HILL.

Macarthur ON the Stand.

Macarthur on the Stand.
W WASHINGTON, June 30.-The Hill in
VestlgatiOn was resumed to-day. John
Macarthur, an architect from 1915. has
had charge of the work upon the PhiIa-
delphia public building. The original
plans for the basement called for brick
lining for the piers. Changes were made
from the original plans and granite was
used instead of brick. Mr.. Hill. however.
had nothing to do with the changes. On
crOss-eXaminatiOn the witness was asked
MS opinion as an expert, whether it cost
more TO complete the Philadelphia build
ing under the modified contract than If
would have cost under the 10 per cent.
contract. The witness could not state
positively as to the relative cost without
taking the plans and making cOmputa-
tlons OF the actual cost. The work nm
der the modified contract was inferior i'm
quality to that performed under the Il
per cent. contract. The witness did not
know what the changes cost. He believed
that the changes improved the character
OF the building. In reply to
questions by the COMMITTEES. the
witness stated that granite of the
same quality as that being used upon the
Philadelphia building could have been
obtained from other quarries at the time
the change was made from the IL per
cent. contracts. AS a matter of fact.
dinerent kinds of granite was used in the
building. The witness would not have
lelt justified in paying eXorbitant prices

The Judge Defers His Decision on Ac-
count of it's Local Effect.
WASHINGTON, June 30.-In the Crimi-
nal Court to-day argument was heard
upon the pleas in abatement entered in
the Kellogg case. Col. Bliss, for the gov
ernment, raised the objection that the
substance of the pleas was proper matter
for a motion to quash and not for plain
abatement. The court seemed disposed
to adopt this view. Still Mr.. Wilson, coun-
sci for ex-senator Kellogg, insisted upon
ruling upon the pleas as submitted,
reserying the right to make the same
matter the ground for a motion to quash.
Argument was then heard upon the pleas
separately. Especial attention was given
the plea alleging an improper selection of
the grand jury that returned the indict-
ment against Ex-senator Kellogg. and
Messrs. Bliss, Wilson, Shellabarger and
Merrick participated in the argument.
At its conclusion Mr.. Wilson asked for a
decision, but upon the statement of AS
slstant District Attorney Perry that the
point was of much Importance and would
affect other local cases, the court con-
tlnued the case until Saturday next.

The Case Under Consideration, But Not
Decided.


Decided.
ATLANTA, GA, June 3O-Owing to
press of official duties, the sudden sick
ness of Secretary Palmer, and the alb
sence of Secretary Harrison, Governor
Mcdaniel has been very busy to-day and
was compelled to give up going home.
In connection with Attorney General
Anderson he has given the case of Jules
SOule full investigation, and although a
young wife and child appealed to him,
backed bythe Solicitor General and other
influential parties, he this afternoon re-
fused pardon. He has also, with Attor
ney Genel al Anderson, commenced an in
YestigatiOn of the Hussey case, but will
suspend action until Thursday, in re-
sponse to telegram from Senator Mel
drim.
The good people of Savannah
should be slow to condemn Cover
nor Mcdaniel, as he does not pro-
pose to be influenced by any mans
appeals in regard to pardons. There
must be in the case itself some just cause
Tor executive clemency, or it will be with
held, though asked for by the President
himself. But Governor Mcdaniel be-
Ieves that he has no right to refuse a
suspension necessary to an investi
CATION of case, and the poorest man
and humblest woman will have
the same attention in such matters that
he would give the most distinguished
citizen of Georgia. If in any case new
evidence has come to light and Justice
demands clemency, he will grant it with
out regard to petitioners or political infu-
ences.
In the Hussey case he may be trusted
to act wisely and well, and in such man.
ner as to uphold the majesty of the law
and vindicate its proper enforcement.
