The lmminenCe Of War Between Great
Britain and the TranSYaal
Is Now Common Talk on the Streets of
London.
The Report of the Dispatch of
British War Vessel to Delagoa Bay
COnfirmed-The RacCoon Sails for
Cape Town Under Sealed Orders.

LONDON. April 1.-THE speech of
the First Lord of the Admiralty, George
). Goschen, at the farewell banquet
rendered on Saturday to Sir Alfred
Miner, the newly appointed High Com
missioner of Great Britain in South
Africa. has produced a great sensa-
ton, and the imminence of war be-
tween Great Britain and the TransvaaI
is the common talk of the street
referring to the presence of British
blue Jackets and marines in South
Africa. Mr.. Goschen said: "They are
to represent Sir Alfred Miners British
power in South Africa. They are to
guarantee to him and to our colonies
and the loyal men who support British
rule, that the country is determined to
maintain its power in those quarters,
and that it will back it's High Commits
sloner with the power of the British
Empire"
a dispatch from Cape Town to-day
confirms the report apparently of the
dispatch of the British war YES
sci to Delagoa Bay. The British war
ship Raccoon sailed to-day from Cape
Town under sealed orders. The OFF,
Gals there refuse to divulge her des-
tination, but it is rumored that she is
bound for Delagoa Bay, and the report
is generally believed
1t was semi-officially announced this
afternoon that the British troops going
to South Africa are merely intended to
relieve the regiments already there,
which are bound for home at the ex-
piration of their terms of foreign SER

BUILDERS ORGANIZE.
A NEW CENTRAL BODY FORMED
AT CHICAGO.
The Object to UnioniZe All Factions in
the City Taking lateral Used
in Their Business.

CHICAGO. April 12.-The Organiza-
ton Committee of the Building Trades
Council met a joint committee repre-
senting twenty three local unions COM
posed of men in the building material
trades last evening and formed new
central body to work in conjunction
with the Building Trades Council.
The name chosen for the new organi-
cation is THE Building Material Trades
Council of Cook County, Illinois,
1t is the object to unionize all fac
tories in the city making material used
in building. In this respect it will be
auxiliary to the Building Trades Coun-
Gil. Another purpose of the body is to
aid the council in the campaign for
higher wages and shorter hours.
The committee represented over 90
600 men, and it is thought the new or
ganization will soon have a membership
of 80, 900 or more. A constitution was
adopted and officers elected. The spirit
of the council is expressed in the pre-
ambe to the constitution:
THE spirit of the age is toward cen
traliZation. Capital centralzeS it's
forces, and to it's knowledge of the
power acquired by organization may be
attributed the great influence it pos
sesses Labor is only powerful when
it centralizes it's forces. Hence, acting
upon the principle of Capitalization
with the knowledge that a closer alli-
ance of all trades having common in
terests is imperative, and that the men
engaged in the manufacture of building
material must have a closer alliance
and work in unison with our fellow
workmen of the Building Trades Coun-
Gil that so much may be achieved to
advance our mutual interests, we have
organized the Building Material Trades
Council
Labor leaders look upon the new
council as of great Importance. They
now expect to reach the elements that
have caused so many labor troubles
in the city. The new body purposes to
go quietly into the unionizing of the
manufacturing concerns, taking them
one at a time, when there is no disturb
ance. In cases of persistent opposition
on the part of any manufacturer, a
report will be made to the Building
Trades Council and the two bodies will
then unite in strike or any other
means deemed necessary to carry their
point.

semi official. as the representative of
the new administration. His tour eX-
tended over several months, and en-
braced the leading European Capitals.
EX- Vice-PreSident Stevenson, the
Democratic member of the commission,
though generally known as an advo-
cate of bimetallism, was a stanch sup
porter of Mr.. Bryan and the Chicago
platform. He and Senator Wolcott,
however. are said to be in accord on
the financial question.
General Charles ]. Payne, who may
be termed the minority member, is a
Republican, and was a Mckinley man.
He is one of the most prominent bust
ness men of Massachusetts, and is said
to be a deep student of the financial
question. While he is classed as a sup
porter of bimetallism, based on inter
national agreement, he is regarded as
allied with the sound-money faction.
He is a graduate of Harvard, being a
member Of the class of '53. General
Payne is largely identified with rail-
roads and other corporations, being a
director of the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy Railroad and other large
concerns. and a director of the Boston
Institute of Technology; was an init
mate friend and associate of Professor
Walker the financial author and au-
thority.
1t is not known when the commits
sion will meet and organize. When the
commission is organized, however, it is
believed Senator Wolcott will be made
President 1t is believed the Commits
sioners will not go abroad before May

ent, but never before in the history OF
the Republic have they been so candid
ly avowed or so coolly justified as
campaign contracts, in order to secure
the power thus to be abused.
'The administration and Congress
having taken this attitude and again
thrown down the gage of battle to the
allied hosts of American freemen who
supported the Democratic candidates
last week - casting their millions OF
unpurchased votes for liberty regulated
by law-we of the Democratic party
are left no alternative but to take it
up. Our cause is far stronger to-day
than ever before. We have only to or
ganize, to bring right thinking and
right feeling people together in DEM
ocratic societies-where the designs of
the monopolist party in power may be
discussed and exposed, and where each
good citizen, encouraged by his neigh
Dor, will resist the seductions and re-
sent the threats of the common enemy
to sweep up a great victory of rep
resentatives of the masses in the next
House and to carry the elections of

cratic forefathers carried those of 1900.
I'VE respectfully suggest that the
Democratic societies constituted after
the manner of those of which Mr. JEFF
ferson described as very nurseries of
republican principles be established in
every district. and that the Democratic
State and county Chairmen through
out the country take immediate steps
to secure the institution of such organ
izations. These, when united in State
associations and not as national or
CARNATIONS, will constitute an irresist-
ible force in the contest before us. To
insure a popular victory which will in
augurate the new century with a sure
promise of peace and prosperity, as
Jefferson's election inaugurated, we re-
quire only the means of discussion and
the means of polling our honest vote
in spite of corruption or intimidation.
This a thorough club organization will
ACCOMPLISH

loads at the White House door, The
President stepped out first nimbly, and
with the aid of the maid Mrs Mckinley
was helped out. She had a happy smile
for the persons who stood by to greet
her. and appeared to be much stronger
than when she left the White House
a few days ago. Her walk was more
confident, and her general health show
ed signs of improvement.
The movements of the Dolphin since
the vessel sailed away from Annapolis
Saturday noon was controlled by the
wish on the part of the President to avoid
haste, and to prolong the trip until to-
day. SO Saturday night she came to
anchor off Blackiston Island, about ten
miles inside of the mouth of the Poto-
mac, and the party slept in quiet water
we'll into Sunday morning. Then at
party should go to church, if a church
could be reached. The maps were
overhauIed to find the largest nearby
town. This happened to be the interest
ing and historical Leonardtown, at the
head of Breton Bay, in Maryland The
Dolphin drew too much water to get up
TO the head of the bay so the party
took to the steam launch, AMI towing
the dingey behind, ran up to the old
town and landed.
1t was too late, however, to hear SER
vices in the only one of the churches
that had been open that morning. so
the President strolled over the town for
an hour
The short stay at Leonardtown was
much enjoyed, and Mrs Mckinley. who
insisted on accompanying her husband.
came back to the ship without fatigue.
Returning to the Dolphin. the ship
cruised along the river slowly, and be-
| fore evening again came to anchor in
the neighborhood of Maryland Point.
An early start was made UP the river
this morning. and the Dolphin reached
the navy yard without incident.

coined. and telegram received at An
