Ex- Commissioner Of Public Works
Dies of Pneumonia.
He HaG Been I'll Only About Week.
Sketch Of His Useful Career.

The death of Mr.. John A. Coleman
yesterday at his home 10 Hopkins street,
removes one OF the most estimable citi-
zens OF Providence, for whom everybody
had the highest regard. Mr.. Coleman
was sick only about week with :pneu-
monia He was born in Providence
March 3, 1899, and was educated in the
public schools OF this city and at an early
aye learned the block making trade with
his father. At II years of age he went 10
England and joined William q. Angel
of the American Screw Company and John
Gorham, the founder of the Gorham Man
ufacturing Company, who were inspect
ing English manufacturing methods.
Upon his return to this city he entered

commissioner OF public works In Provi-
dence; the first single commissioner the

THE BOER PARLIAMENT.
President Kruger Makes Speech TO
the VOlkSraad.
Moderate In Tone and Touched Delicately
on Foreign Relations.

copyrighted, 1896. by The Associated Press
PRETORIA, South Africa Republic,
May 5.-The volksraad, the Parliament
of the Transvaal, was opened today by
President Kruger. Great and most unus-
ual interest was taken in the proceedings
in view of the recent disclosures made
by the publication of secret messages ex-
changed by wire Between Cecil Rhodes,
then premier of Cape IGeieHy, and others
who took more or less important parts
in the raid of DIR. Jameson and his lii
busterers in the territory of the Boer re-
public.
The town was crowded with boers,
many of whom had ridden hundreds of
miles in order to be present.
The president, in his speech, said, In
brief, that the recent events, s'due TO
malevolence and selfish objects" had seri-
ously interrupted the rest and peace OF the
South African repu bile, adding:
"It has been.ever my wish to promote
the development and prosperity of the
repu blic in the incst peaceable manner
possible, so 7 am firmly convinced that IL
is your sincere wish to cooperate with
me in this policy and that you expect
with the fullest confidence, that this ses-
sion OF the Volksraad will contribute in no
small manner TO the restoration of peace
in this State in order that, through our
united cooperation our country may
flourish and prosper for the benefit of
ALL" loud applause
The President then touched upon the
foreign relations of the Sonth African re-
public, the most delicate and eagerly an
ticipated portion or his speech, saying:
sin spite of past troubles the Republic
continues TO maintain friendly relations
with foreign powers. This subject was
thus significantly dropped and the Presi-
dent turned to the relations between
South African republic and its sister re-
public, the Orange Free State, remarking:
In conclusion, President Kruger said:
"No doubt, especially in troublesome
times, you will strive to fuldll your on
erous duties and devote your highest pow
ers TO the earnest consideration of the
cherished interests OF the common
wealth."
The Presidents speech was very well
received, being considered most moderate
in tone, although meeting every situa-
tion firmly and squsrely without any
bombast or buster.

with the Wesleyan nine for the first tims
this season tomorrow afternoon on Lin
coin Field. Wesleyan has a very strong
team this year for a small college and the
game promises to be an exciting contest.

nom," only allowing Dartmouth five
scattered hits last Friday in the Dart
mouth-Wesleyan match. The Wesleyan
boys are lying low for Brown and will
take them by storm II possible. The

by playing Harvard today, but in all
probability they will be. equal TO the oc-
casion. Brady and Lang will be the
battery for Brown.
Professor Bemis delivered an interesting
lecture In Manning Hall last night on
the Labor Movement In America" Pro-
fessor Wilson introduced the speaker with
q few pertinent remarks. The speaker
said that organization is the movement
OF the hour. Corporations and trusts are
organizations on the side of capital. The
unions are organizations of labor. Both
OF these were discussed fally in their good
and evil points. His final summary was
that tho greatest objection 10 the union
is its refusal 10 work with the non union
men, but this - Just the same in the case
OF the trust that drives out mall COM
petition by reusal TO sell to the small
trader.
The Brown Varsity bali nine will play
Tufts on Saturday afternoon instead OF
Andover as por schedule.

Freshmen and Yale Freshmen scheduled
