VIEWS OF
Editors Think Great Britain Is Try
ing to Gain Time.


BERLIN. Sept. 26.-The publication of Mr..
Chamberlain's kilograms to Sir Alfred Mil
ner. British high commissioner in South
Africa. calls forth but few comments from
German papers. The optimistic views ex-
pressed yesterday have given way to a
general feeling in many quarters that war
Is inevitable and that the course of Brit
ish policy is merely a ruse to gain time to
complete the military preparations.
The National Zeitung says: THE state
ments made in the Transvaal Green Book
are a fat contradiction Of Mr.. Chamber
lain's version Of the five years franchise
offer. and each government taxes the other
with perfidy regarding the rest"
The Nueste Nachrichten says: THE turn
given to the suzerainty question is really
nothing but a play upon words. The
Transvaal Is, of course, not sovereign, as
England's veto restricts 1t as a treaty-mak-
ing power. Nor has this ever been denied
by the Transvaal. whose government only
wants a restriction upon England's inter-
ference in internal affairs"
Other journals consider that Mr.. Cham
berlain's kilograms are destined to afford
material for further delay.

TRUAX DID NOT RESIGN.
Dispute Over the Chicago Cornerstone
Not Yet Settled.

CHICAGO. Sept. 8.-President Truax, of
the fall festival. did not resign to-day, as 1t
was reported he would, and harmony over
the laying Of the cornerstone of the federal
building seems further away than at any
time during the last week. Late tonight
B. p. Murray and p. H. O'Donnell, repre-
senting the labor unions on the arbitration
committee which has for two days been
engaged In an effort to settle the trouble.
issued a statement declaring that Mr.. Truax
had circulated a libel on the laboring men
In declaring that NJ. ]. Sullivan, their repre-
sentative had offered to settle the strike
for 5000, and that Contractor Pierce, who
is furnishing the nonunion cut cornerstone.
had made no effort to reach an agreement
with the men. The statement concludes as
follows:
I'VE believe that the labor men would, in
the interest of the fall festival and of the
city. willingly settle under certain condi-
tons, and We would therefore suggest to
the fall festival committee that resolutions
be passed repudiating all unkind things said
about union labor and its representative,
NJ. J.. Sullivan, and granting the union men
permission to cut and lay the stone, recon-
mending that the material used in the
building be cut in this city. If this is done
and Mr.. Truax stands aside We believe all
other objections will be waived by organized
labor If due consideration is not given
union laborers' emands 1t Is useless TO ex-
pect a harmonious settlement of the diff
Guilty."
Supplementary to the statement Mr.
O'Donnell declared that he was authorized
to say that If Mr.. Truax remains at the
head Of the fall festival committee there
will be no cornerstone laying and no fes-
tival."
The general committee Of the festival
committee met at the Union League during
the afternoon. but no plans for settling the
labor trouble were considered. 1t was ex-
pected that Mr.. Truax would resign as pres
ident of the association, but at the request
OF a majority of the ne recon-
sidered ms determination and remained at
the head of the enterprise.

PATRIOTIC SONS.
Views OF the NYtional President ON
Heroes and Millionaires.

NEW HAVEN. Sept. 26.-The biennial
session Of the National Camp, Patriotic
Order Sons of America. opened here to-day,
with about 100 members in attendance and
others constantly arriving. The national
president, Charles F. Schaale. of Chicago,
in his address, said: THE United States
has emerged from its seclusion. 1t has
stepped from its hermitage into the open
arena of the worlds struggle with a proud
demeanor and a hero's step. The reputation
of the country throughout the world is not
what it was eighteen months ago. There is
no land in the Occident or Orient, in torrid,
temperate or frigid zones, where the name
of America has not acquired a new dignity
and a brighter renown."
The speaker then discussed the advance
Of trusts and suggested that the Sons of
America must arouse themselves and return
to 1.-The first principles of Americans and
patriots"
Had it not bees for the Spanish-Amer-
lean war" he concluded, I'VE should not
have realized how far Deweys, RooseveIts,

Newspaper reports announce that L.

Mr.. Dcavitt recently received u letter

ed claimants, sent to several congress-
men,
This letter, prepared largely from the
annual reports of different commission
crs of pensions, showed the treatment
accorded the cases OF old soldiers by
the department as being unfavolable.
This letter was published in the Con
gressional Record and thus given great
er publicity than Mr.. Deavitt anticipat-
ed. The commissioner of pensions
wrote to him some time since, alleging
that his open letter contained false state

WEEKLY PAY

Quincy, Mass, April 2l.-Thc stone
cutters in seven yards of the city left
:hcir work on account of the alleged
failure of the firms to live up to the
clause in the bill of prices calling for Il
pay day every week. For several weeks
past there have been complaints recciv
ed by the union that some of the manu-
faclurers were not living up to the
agreement. During the past week Il
committee from the union went to the
yards from which the complaints had
been received, and notified the bosses
that the weekly pay day clause must be
lived up to, and that the men must be
paid by Friday night. AT an informal
meeting of the Manufacturers Associa
ton Saturday night the subject was
talked over. Some of the members
were positive they were obliged to pay
only once in two weeks. but IA majority
inclined to the belief that the bill of
prices left no alternative, and that, if it
did, the state law would compel week.
ly payment. AS result of this talk
those manufacturers who have had their
men 90 out on them decided to pay up
today, and it is expected that all the
men now out will 60 back to work.

Congressman w. w. Grout
Sends Check for $500.

Last night Barclay Brothers received
letter from VIM. w. Grout express
ing his pleasure in contributing check

Fund.
Mr.. Grout was in Barre recently to
see the Burns monument, and expressed
himself as very much pleased with the
work.
Congressman Grout has made an eX-
tensive study of Burns and his poems,
and Il few years ago he leclured through
Vermont ON this subject. Probably
there is not an edition of Burns life pub
lished of which Mr.. Grout has not a
copy. One bearing the date 1904 and
containing an excellent likeness of
Burns was sent the Barclay Brothers for
examination. 1t is needless to say that
Mr.. Grout's most generous contrlbu-
ton is very much appreciated by ev"ry
citizen of Barre.

THE ROUGH
RIDERS.
INTERESTING LECTURE
LAST NIGHT.
------.
w. N. Batchelder, a Former
Rough Rider, Addresses
the Students.

There has rarely ever been a more
genuinely interesting lecture given in
this city than the one delivered last
night before the Seminary students and
friends of the school by W. N. Batchel-
der, a former member of Roosevelt's
Rough Riders. and whose story was told
in these columns some weeks ago when
he first came among us.
The entertainment last evening was
commenced by a pleasing musical and
literary program, after which Mr.. Batch
elder, known among his comrades rs
"Dewey," owing to the fact that he was
the only Vermont boy among them, was
introduced by Mr. Hollister.
The speaker told his story in sim
pie, straightforward manner that was
not only delightful to his listeners but
bespoke the modesty of spirit of band
OF the mcst famous warriors the country
ever saw. His remarks in no way
touched upon his own part in the cam
paign against Spain, yet carried through
out tinge of that pride in the regiment
and devotion to their noble colonel that
each member of that body is more than
justified in feeling. He commenced his
talk by relating; something of his expe-
rience at Godd(rd on his last visit to
that institution; how, being dissatisfied
game, he had expressed his feelings,
much to the dlspleasure of the Goddard
boys, who afterward lried to get back at
him by giving him bath in the foun-
tain.
