BEATRICE HARRADEN's VIEWS.
The Autheress Says EnRland's Fight
Is in q Noble Caunc.

NEW YORK. Nov. 20.-Beatrice Harra-
den, the novelist, started at noon today on
her long overland journey TO Southern Cali
fornia. Every morning of the two weeks
that she has been in this city with friends
In Severty-seventh Street, she has scanned
the papers eagerly for news of the war in
South Africa.
The earlier reverses of the British troops
filled her with longing to do something
for the brave men who are leaving Eng
land to fight. as she believes, for civiliza-
ton and humanity. Before she left Eng
land she considered whether she could put
on the Red Cross and sail for Cape Town
to minister to the wounded or should obey
her ply sician and seek health and strength
for herself Her family and friends finally
pursuaded her that her larger duty was to
make herself strong for the good she could
do, and she decided to pass the winter with
her relatives in California
"In spite OF everything" she said yester-
day, 'I feel almost as il I had left duty
behind me. Here in New York I can at
least follow the movements OF the troops
and rejoice in the triumphs Of right and
justice, but out there I may not hear of
battles for days and days. Every victory
makes me stronger"
Miss Harraden is OF medium height, but
does not appear to be robust. Her face is
pale. and the lines about her mouth tell
Of strong emotions. She wears her short
and wayy black hair brushed back from her
broad forehead. She speaks rapidly, but
distinctly. and with decision. Altogether
she appears to be a woman whose thoughts
and feelings would urge her to attempt
more than her physical strength would en-
dure.
She never discusses her own books, ex-
cept to answer the questions Of others. Her
whole interest today is centred in the Afri-
can war.
1T is the destiny of the Anglo-Sax race
to obliterate ignorance and superstition
from the earth" she said, with flashing
eyes, I'VE are alf one, and l speak and
feel here in America just the same as at
home. We will win. as We always have
won, for it is right that We should win"

DELEGATES UNSEATED.
The Building Trades Coun-
Gil Denies the Painters
and Decorators.

The local union of the Brotherhood of
Painters and Decorators of America was
dethroned from power as labor organ
ization at the meeting of the Building
Trades Council last evening. The union
now has no representation in the Central
Labor Union or the Building Trades
Council which comprises unions from
every craft in the building line.
The action of the council was soon
known to every active worker in the
Painters and Decorators Union, and the
sentiment of more than a score of union
painters was in the direction of organiz-
ing a new local union. Today John H.

CATCH A TARTAR.
Hong; Kong Officers
Refuse to, Clear
Transport.
0VERCROWDING ALLEGED.
Ambassador Choate VIII
Make It an Internation-
al Episode.
OVERCROWDING ALLEGED.

Washington, Sept. 13--A cable mes
sage was received today at the war de-
partment concerning the transport
Tartar, which has been held at Hong
Kong. Secretary Root thought it was
of sufficient Importance to take to the
president for consideration.
The army transport Tartar, which is
reported detained at Hong Kong by the
British authorities, was chartered by
the United States and is owned by the
Canadian Steamship Company. She
sails under the British flag. 1t is said
that under these conditions she is sub
ject to the navigation laws of Great
Britain. Being chartered by the United
States does not entitle her to American
registry. The British consul can deter
mine whether she complies with the
British navigation laws, and if she
does not he has authority to cause her
to unload.
A private cablegram from Hong Kong
says that complaint was made by the
400 discharged regulars on board the
Tartar of overcrowding, whereupon
clearance was refused. The. Twentieth
Kansas volunteer infantry, with Gen
Funston is aboard the Tartar, but it is
understood that the volunteers made no
complaint and are anxious to have
clearance granted the ship in order that
they may proceed homeward.
After Secretary Roots return from
the White House he took up the matter
of the Tartar with the state department
with a view of having the ship cleared
at Hong Kong. A dispatch was sent tc
Col Metcalf of the Twentieth Kansas
who is in command of the troops on the
transport, asking if, in his opinion, the
ship was overcrowded, and if there was
just ground for complaint of the sub
sistence furnished the men.
A dispatch was also sent to Gen
Otis, asking for further information
concerning the Tartar and the supplies
with which she was furnished. No de-
mite decision can be reached until tht
state department has communicated
with our ambassador at London, as il
is a question which must be settled BY
| the government.
The war department made public thu
| following dispatches:
Hong Kong, Sept 10.
Corbin, Washington; British author
tiles refuse to clear Tartar because
overcrowded. Authorize eight twenty
| four. Metcalf.
Manila, Sept. 49,
Adjutant General Washington: Tar
tar sent to Hong Kong to dock, as rep
quested by Major Long; no dock larg,
enough at Nagasaki. She has capacity
| for eleven hundred forty-five men anC
one hundred eleven cabin passengers
She took back eleven hundred forty
two men and sixty-one cabin pas
sengers. On her trip from San Fran
cisco she carried comfortably clever
hundred forty-fve men and f1fty-sever
passengers. Otis
1t was stated at the war department
this afternoon that the Tartar matter
had been referred to Ambassador
Choate, which makes an internatiena
question of it. The contention of thu
war department that notwithstanding
the Tartar flies the British flag, the as.
sumption of British authority over hel
is unauthorized, as she is chartered By
the United States government.

SUSPENDED Foresters Are Outside the
Pale of the Order.
The 28 members of Court Thomas E.
Cunningham, f. of A, who were threat
ened with suspension by Grand Chief
Ranger Daniel F. Fitzgerald, were yes
terday notified of their suspension by
letter from the grand secretary, James
E. Gallagher of Lowell, Mass.
The letter which each man received
who voted against the payment of the
McNally claim reads as follows:-
Dear Sir and Brother: The time hav-
ing expired within which Court Thomas
E. Cunningham, No. 6S, Foresters of
America, was given to settle the contro-
versy existing between M. ]. McNally
and the court, by the payment of the
McNally claim, and you having placed
yourself upon record as voting mo- on
the acceptance of the mandate of the
grand court executive council, you are
hereby notified that you now stand as
a suspended member of said Court T. E.
Cunningham and of the Order of For
esters of America. This action is pur-
suant to the vote passed by the grand
court executive council at meeting held

D. F. Fitzgerald. G. G. r. (attest.)

This action leaves the members of
Court Thomas E. Cunningham outside
the pale of that organization. Grand
Chief Ranger Fitzgerald was seen by
The Spy man, and he said: THE %
members of Court Thomas e. Cunning
ham are suspended by their own action
;,1 -
der and in utter defiance of them. Fhey
are not outside the order, but have lost
all claim to the benefits of our organiz-
alton. They have no appeal from the
suspension, and have no rights in the
matter, as they have lost all while they
are under suspension"
The suspended members are not say
ing much. They are awaiting the out
come of the case, which is to come up
in the civil court Saturday.
It is said that Grand Chief Ranger d.
F. Fitzgerald will be summoned into
court by the suspended members, and
there made to explain why he has sus-
pended the members and deprived them
of the benefits of their organization. II
is being said on good authority that
many of the members who are suspend
ed will never again be allowed the right
of membership in the order of Forest
ers. and as one official of that order said
last evening: "They are being frozen
out" Some of the suspended members,
it is said, have made themselves de-
cidedly obnoxious to the state officers
of the Foresters, and they are now go
ing to take advantage of their oppor-
tunity to shut them out of the organiz-
alton. The men that expect to be shug
out are not the kind to give up without
a. struggle, and say that the aid of the
civil courts will be asked before they
yield to the suspension and the ulti-
mate loss of membership in the order

Many tragic and terrible tales have
reached Worcester from the Klondike
since the rush and hurly- -burly of those
early days when the greed for gold
sent men maddened with excitement
into the Alaskan fields.
But all of them pale in comparison
with the sad story told in the following
letter received by j. H. Phillips, the
well known granite dealer, from his son
Frank, who has passed the last two
years in Alaska in a search for wealth.
Young Phillips was one of a party
formed in Worcester and Worcester
county who were among the first to
leave Seattle and fight their way over
the frozen SHOWS of the Chilcoot pass.
Little or nothing has been heard from
them from the hour that they left, and
their friends and relatives had in many
Instances long ago abandoned all hope
of ever hearing from them again.
What scarce information has reached
the states told more often a story of
death and of disease than of success.
The passes of the Chilcoot were long
ago so strewn with the frozen bodies of
the holder and Drawer men, who had
attempted TO pass beyond its summit
that all effort in the way of attempt
ing recognition in many cases had been
abandoned.
Prominent among those who left here
in the search for gold was Mike Bris-
sotte. From that hour until now the
story Of his tragic end has been un-
known.
But it has reached here at last The
poor fellow lies buried underneath the
snow, not far from Yacatal
During fearful storm in December
last, in company with a companion
from St. Paul, Mimi, he became separ-
ated from the Worcester party, and lost
his way wandering aimlessly over the
frozen SHOWS. At last when all hope
had been abandoned and he knew that
death was near, he attached a letter to
his faithful dog, stating that he was
lost and starving. The dog found his
way to where some Californians were
in camp, and Immediately upon finding
the letter they started to the rescue OF
Brissotte. But too late. The poor fell
low was found frozen to death.
Prof. HILL the original guide of the
Worcester party, died from hardship,
exposure and exhaustion. He was Civ
en- as decent a burial as circumstances
could afford, near where he lay, and
the party pushed on in it's search for
wealth
Here is the letter. and it is the sad

SCHURMANN TALKS.
Philippine Issue a Question
of the Nations
Honor.

Ithaca, N. Y, Sept. 13.-President
Schurmann returned today to his office
In Cornell University. He gave out the
following to the Associated Press on
Philippine affairs:
The multiplicity and heterogeneous
nature of the tribes is something as
founding. Over 90 different languages
are spoken. These tribes are all civil
lzed and Christianized, but small un-
civilized tribes, among whom the Igo-
rotes, best known IN America, inhabit
the mountains in Luzon and form
large part Of the population of Min
danoa.
1t Is the Tagalogs inhabiting some of
the provinces about Manila who are re-
slstlng the authority of the United
States. Other civilized Filipinos are
neutral, except where they are coerced
by armed bands of Tagalogs who seized
upon their governments during the
making and ratification of our treaty
OF peace with Spain. 1t would be incor-
rect to assume however, that these
tribes are allies of ours. They are not
Indeed they are not without suspicion
OF the white race. But there are men of
intelligence and property, and the mass
es, when not stirred up by the Taga-
logs, recognize the advantage to them
of American sovereignty, and remain
passlvely neutral, although robber
bands from time to time descend from
the mountains TO pluuder and burn the
estates Of the peaceful inhabitants on
the plains
The insurrectiop, though serious
enough. as has been proved, is not a
national uprising. Indeed, there is no
Philippine nation. The inhabitants of
the archipelago no more constitute a
nation than the inhabitants of the con-
tinent of Europe do.
The United States having assumed
by treaty of peace with Spain, became
responsible for the maintenance of
peace and order, the administration of
justice, the security of life and proper
ty among the residents. This is an obli-
cation which intelligent Filipinos. not
less than foreign nations, expect us to
fulfill. Nor will the national honor per-
NIT us to turn back. In taking the Phil
| ippine islands we annexed great respon-
sibility, The fact that the responsibility
| is heavier than most people supposed it
would be- is no excuse for failure to dis
charge it, I repeat that the Philippine
question is essentially a question of ma
tional honor and obligation.

The head of the New York contingent
in an endeaor to bring order out of the
chaos, arose with Mr. CAM, in a very
loud tone of voice, declaring that his
delegation was of more Importance than
that of any state. When Mr. Cochran
began speaking, Mr. GAM fished from
a hip pocket pair of opera glasses,
and at short range contemplated the
speaker, commenting in way that
drowned the voice Of the orator.
William Jennings Bryan was absent,
but IL is believed he win appear later
