TRANSVAAL TROUBLE.
Resolutions Adopted in the Cana

OTTAWA (Ont.), July 31.-Sir Will
fried Laurier, the Premier, interrupted
the regular business of the House of
Commons to-day to move the follow
ing resolutions in regard to the British
subjects in the TranSyaal:
THAT this house has viewed with re-
gret the complications which have aris-
en- in the Transvaal republic, of which
her majesty is sovereign, from the re-
fusal to accord to her majesty's sub
jects now settled in that region any adj
equate participation in it's government.
THAT this house has learned with
still greater regret that the condition of
things there existing has resulted in in
tolerable oppression, and has produced
great and dangerous excitement among
several classes Of her majesty's sub
jects in her South African possessions
THAT this house, representing a peo-
pie who have largely succeeded by the
adoption of the principle of conceding
equal political rights to every portion
of the population, in harmonizing ar
engagements and in producing general
content with the existing system of
government, desires to express it's
sympathy with the efforts of her majes-
tvs imperial authorities to obtain for
the subjects of her majesty who have
taken up their abode in the Transvaal
such measures of justice and political
recognition as may be found necessary
to secure them in the full possession of
equal rights and liberties"
The Premier supported the resolution
and George E. Foster seconded it, in
the absence of Sir Charles Topper, who
wrote the Premier that he approved of
it. After adopting the resolution, the
whole house rose and sang God Save
the Queen"

Chicago Bricklayers' Strike.

CHICAGO, July 31.--While the strike
of the local bricklayers may result in
calling out the building trades unions
of the city, numbering about 5000 men,
the conference held to-day between
the business agents representing the
various crafts terminated without a
definite decision in regard to the mat
ter. With one accord the delegates re-
fused to disclose the incidents of the
meeting, but it is believed that the
majority of the building trades rep
resentatives argued against striking in
sympathy with the brickmakers, in
asmuch as the latter are merely try
ing to force the non-union yards to
recognize their organization. A strike
would affect many union yards, and

said, that the time for this is at hand

meeting of the Health Department of
this city held to-day, 1t was decided
to close the Receiving Hospital and its
two branches. The reason assigned for
the closing Of the main hospital was
that the place is in an unsanitary con-
dition and in need of repairs, but the
closing of the two branches was or
dered because the Board of Supervisors
of the city and county refuse to appro-
pirate enough money to carry on the in
situations to advantage and the County
Auditor has refused to sign warrants
calling for money for these institutions
The action of the board leaves this city
in a crippled condition with regard to
the hospital service. 1t is understood
that an attempt will be made to man
damus Auditor Wells to compel him to
pay the demands of the Health Board.

The ironclad monitors Terror and
Puritan are the only naval vessels sta
toned at the Norfolk yard and it is
understood that they will be removed in

Navy Department pays little heed to
quarantine regulations and would not
hesitate to send the ships outbound for

Secretary Alger has directed that the

Wyman has not yet decided whether or
not he will go to Hampton, but will do
SO if there is any need of his services.
The officers of the Marine Hospital
service refuse to speculate on the gen.
esis of the epidemic. but it is generally
believed to have originated in some of
the shore dives in Phoebus and cases
are looked for there. Arrangements

WASHINGTON, July 81. = Senator
Burrows of Michigan, in an interview
with a Post" reporter this afternoon,
said:
1T is my judgment that if the war
in the Philippines is still in progress
next year, and the end is not then in
sight, the situation will be to the dis
advantage of the Republican party. The
only hope for the party and the coun-
try, might add. is in a speedy change
of conditions in the Philippines.
Unless the war Ing the Philippines
speedily ends, it will become an import
ant political factor and it's continuance
will make the outlook for Republican
success uncertain, to say the least. IL

THE President is acting wisely, IN
my opinion, in endeavoring to restore
peace and order in the Philippines by
sending an increased army to assist
General Otis. 1t is to be sincerely
hoped that fresh troops will be able to
establish the authority of the United
States We must remember, however,
that although we have now been fight
ing some time. we have conquered a
territory only about fifty miles to the
north of Manila and fifteen miles to the
south, a mere bagatelle compared with
the immense area of the archipelago.
If the additional troops sent to General
Otis cannot restore peace. Congress Will
have to deal with the problem. and
ought to have, by the last of December
some information upon which to act
For the present I hope the President
will continue in his efforts to end tha
trouble, and that his efforts may be
crowned with success. Victory for the
Republican party next year will be
made more certain by the success of
our arms in the Philippines
You would not now abandon the
Philippines? suggested the reporter.
