By Monday Forty-tive Thousand
Building Trades Mcl Will
Be Out
In Protest Against the New
Rules Promulgated by the
Contractors.
Attempt to Hire Non-Union Men
Likely to Result in
Trouble.

CHICAGO, Feb. 8.-One thousand men
have joined the ranks of the striking
workingmen in the past "a hours. It is
estimated that 5000 members of the
building trades council are now out in
protest against the new rules of the
building contractors council, and labor
leaders declare that by Monday the en-
tire membership Of the building trades
council, numbering $4,000, will be out
and building operations in Chicago, con-
trolled by contractors tied up.
The contractors declare that they will
employ non-union labor in sufficient
force to maintain building operations,
relying upon the city to furnish police
protectiod for the men. The union men
declare this cannot be done. They have
piclzets stationed at all railroad stations
to warn imported workmen of the con-
dition of affairs and inform them that
in seeking to supplant union men they
are, as one man said, "taking long

DISCUSSED THE TREATY.

Foreign Relations Committee Considers
the y-Pauncefote Agreement.
WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-The senate
committee Oh foreign relations met tc
consider the Nicaragua canal treaty.
The discussion was animated. While
some opposition was manifested, it was
not Of such a character as to indicate the
defeat Of the treaty; but that it would
be amended there seemed to be little
doubt. One Of the amendments pro-
posed is that the whole Of the Clayton
Bulwer treaty shall be abrogated. 1t is
said by members Of the committee fa-
voring this change that there is no need
Of keeping alive any portion of the old
treaty. Another change suggested is in
regard to the protection of the canal.
The treaty declares there shall be no
Notifications and it is said this will pre-
vent the United States from erecting
batteries which are by some considered
absolutely necessary in view of the in
surrections that occur from time to time
in South American countries. tits DOS.
sible that this language will be modife,
so that such protection as the United
States deems necessary will be afforded
along the route Of the canal.

RAILROADS OBJECT.

Decision Reached to Oppose tho Plans of
the Minnesota Commissions.
ST. PAUL, Feb. 8.-The railroads of
Minnesota will resist the efforts Of the
state railway commission to "reduce,
revise and equalize" the rates on grain
and other merchandise. The roads have
been cited to appear before the railroad
commission on Feb. ~ to show causI
why the present tariff should not be re-
vised, especially as applied to the grain
rates from the southwestern part OF the
state.
A meeting of the representatives of
the principal lines interested has been
held in this city to consider the matter.
A general comparison of tariff sheets
was made and Il uniform line of defense
was adopted. Other meetings will be
held previous to the hearing before the
railroad commission.
The railroad commission contends
that the present tariff on all commod-
tiles carried within this state are either
too high or that the same rate does not
apply to all parts Of the state. Wheat
and flax from the southwest have a
higher tariff rate than that from the
northwest, while general merchandise
rates are higher to the northwest than
in the southwestern part of the state.
The railroad representatives say that
the southern part Of the state is brought
into competition with the Chicago and
Milwaukee markets and that in order to
meet this competition they have been
obliged to make concessions to Chicago.

British and Beers Come Together
at MOlens Drift---British
Driven Back.
Heavy All Day Bombardment Of
the BOer Position at
Ladysmith.
Roberts and Kitchener Start for
the FrOnt-.-BOers After
Gatacre.

LONDON, Feb. S.-The Associated Press
learns that the war Office has received u
telegram saying, briefly, that General
Butler had again recrossed the Tugela
river Feb 5, and is now advancing upon
Ladysmith.
The expression in the official dispatch
sis now advancing upon Ladysmith, it
is pointed out, must not be taken to
mean that he has cut down all opposi-
ton but merely that he is headed in the
direction of the besieged town.
BoER HEAD LAAGER, Ladysmith,
Tuesday, Feb. G.-since yesterday, the
British, with naval and other guns,
have bombarded our positions on the
Upper Tugela. The troops crossed the
river at the pont and at Molen drift,
with the object Of storming our posi-.
tions. At the former, General Burger
beat them back and they recrossed in
great confusion.
The fighting continues at Molen drift
with the Standerton and Johannesburg
commandos. There were no casualties
Oh our side.
The cannonade was the fercest yet
experienced. There was continuous
roaring all day long. This morning it
recommended with an increased mum.

WRITTEN BY HAY
Substitute for Bulwer. Clayton
Treaty Formulated by the
Secretary
And Adopted by the British
Ambassador Without
Alteration.
Hint Given That It Must Stand
or Fall Substantially
as 1t Is.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Sit is learned
that the text of the Hay .Pauncefote
treaty was the work of the state depart
ment; the British government accepted
the document just as it was drawn, so
the responsibility for whatever is con-
tanned in the treaty and the form in
which it is expressed is chargeable en-
tirely to the department.. Department
officials are surprised at the amount of
criticism that has been directed against
the treaty but feel confident that it will
be consummated, providing it is not
amended, especially as to the fortifica-
tion clause. 1t is insisted by the of.
ficials that an amendment on that
point would completely defeat the
treaty, and it is intimated that the OBJ
lection will be two-fold, first from the
British government, and second, from
the president himself. The president is
said to regard the naturalization scheme
as completely obviating the necessity for
any Notifications for the canal, for, by
the terms Of that arrangement, every
one Of the maritime powers will pledge
itself to use its army and navy, if need
be, to preserve the absolute neutrality
of the canal, and Notifications will be
unnecessary.
Attention has been called to the state
ment that no matter what differences of
opinion may have existed up to this
time as to the living force of the Clay
tom -Bulwer treaty, all doubt upon that
point has been dissipated by the sigma
ture Of the Hay-Pauncefote convention.
By that act, the executive branch of the
United States government formally rec
ognized the existence OF a Clayton Bull
wer treaty. It is said to make no diff
ference whether or not the Hay -Paunce-
fote treaty is ratified by the senate; the
executive branch of the government, to
which alone foreign governments may
look, has gone on record.

ceedingly tlisagreeahie. y fine, driz.
cling rain fell all morning and but few
people were seen on the streets. Even
in the lobbies of the Capitol hotel few
few persons were gathered. Shortly
after II o'clock the crowds began gath.

casket was finally carried slowly up the
steps of the north entrance to the hotel,
and thence into the ladies' reception
room. where they are to lie in state,
probably 1000 people were stand.
ing around the entrance and in
the streets surrounding the hotel.
Every head was barred as the re.
mains of the Democratic leader were
carried into the hotel. Along the long
hall leading from the north entrance to
the hotel foyer into which opens the Ia.

lines of women, wives of legislators, so.

women who watched with tear.stained
faces the pail bearers as with uncovered
heads they mounted the steps and car.

of them were weeping audibly as the
caskct,. heaped with flowers, was gently
laid on the bier in the center of the big
room, while not q few men looked with
Redeemed cyelids at the closing scene OF
the tragedy.
The lid Of the casket was then u1l.
screwed and the face of the dead gov.
ernor exposed to view, while around the
bier were placed great heaps of flowers
of all kinds, while magnificent flora'
pieces, the last tributes to the memory
Of Governor Goebel were placed along
the walls Of the room.

KITCHENER AND ROBERTS.
South African Commander and Chief O

South African Commander and Chief OF
Staff Or for the Front.
LONDON, Feb. S.-While the suspense
regarding General Buller's movements
and the operations affecting the fate Of
Ladysmith continues unrelieved even by
the vaguest dispatches, there comes
from other quarters interesting news in
the announcement that Field Marshall
Lord Roberts and his chief of staff, Ma
jor General Lord Kitchener, have left
for the front. AS this information was
held up for several hours by the censor,
it seems to Indicate that an important
movement is on foot.
Beers After Gatacre.
A dispatch from Sterkstroom an
General Gatacre from two directions.
Firing was proceeding between the out
posts. A delayed Sterkstroom dispatch,
dated Monday, Feb. 5, says that body
Of troops left the camp Feb. and that
important developments We're expected.
It is quite probable that this explains
Lord Roberts departure and that the
commander-in-chiefw wishes either to be
present at or supervise the long intended
movement by General Gatacre to join
forces with General Kelly-Kenny, and
thence strongly reinforce General
French, completing the latter's work at
Colesberg and establishing without fear
of serious opposition the advanced posi-
ton for the main movement. This, of
course, is greatly supposition, and
it can be confidently said that
the departure Of Lord Roberts and
Lord Kitchener for the front does
not indicate that the main advance
has begun. The commanders will prob
ably be back in Cape Town within q
short time. 1t is pointed out that the
term going to the front must not be in
terpreted into the idea that a great
movement upon Pretoria, by way Of
Bloemfontein, has seriously commenced.
It will be a month or perhaps much
longer before this can be brought about.
In the meanwhile the preliminary.
steps are likely to iven the campaign
with sharp fighting, and news from
Sterksroom, Thebus and Colesburg is
eagerly awaited.
Supposition regarding General Butler
owing to lack Of all definite information
is as futile as ever. III,

SALOONS AGAIN CLOSING.

Recent Order of the Iowa Supreme Court
Not General in Effect.
DES MONIES, Feb. S.-The saloons in
this city are again closing, having been
instructed that they are given no pro-
lection by the state by the recent order
of the supreme court. This was under.
stood to be a general order, applying
to all saloons operating under void con.
sent petitions. Now it develops that
the order was intended to have no gen.
eral effect and applied only to the case
in which it was issued. Several whole
sale houses removed their stocks tc
places of safe keeping so they covld not
be ordered destroyed.
In the legislature Senator Hubbard OF

lean Victory.
MADRID, Feb. S.-Count Almenas,
whoinsists that the responsibility should
be brought home to those to whom
Spain's defeats in the Spanish Ameri-
can war were due, created scene in
the senate by asking if it were true
that conspiracy existed among the
the generals to prevent light being
thrown upon all the circumstances of
the war.
Lieutenant General Azcarraga, minis
ter of war, replied that the attitude
alleged to have been adopted by the
generals did not exist. He protested
against "the campaign against the
prestige Of the army"
Count Almenas replied: "There were
unworthy generals, as there was an in.
famous government, who led Spain to
dishonor.'
A great uproar ensued during which
the president called upon Count Al
menas to withdraw his statement. The
count refused and a vote Of censure was
passed.

IRISH CHEER REDMOND.
Nationalist Leader Moves to Close the War
In cnin

in South Africa.
LONDON, Feb. S.-John Redmond,
chairman of the United Irish party, was
loudly cheered by all sections Of the
Irish members when he rose in the house
Of commons to move an amendment to
the address in reply to the speech from
the throne, representing the time had
arrived to bring the war to conclusion
on the basis of recognizing the indepen-
dence of the Transvaal and the Orange
Free State. He said the Irish party
abhorred this war and intended, so far
as possible, to maintain the indepen.
dence Of the republics, defended with
such heroism.
Mr.. Redmond admitted that when the
empire was involved in complications a
feeling of hope and satisfaction stirred
the majority Of the Irish at home and
abroad But, he continued, the SYM
pathies of the Irish would still have
been pro-Boer, even if England had not
been concerned and another power had
attempted to ''act the bully and op.
pressor in South Africa"

stood "not in splendid, but in disgrace
full isolation, Turkey alone lending her
countenance."
While admitting that official express
sion of hostility had not been heard in
the United States, "chief1y because
America, being engaged in the Philip
pine war, had not felt herself in posi-
ton to rebuke England, as she would
otherwise have done," Mr.. Redmond
declared that the overwhelming opinion
Of leading American statesmen was hos.
tile to Great Britain in this war, and
said the ''unanimous disapproval of the
world demonstrated that the war was
unjust and it ought, therefore, to be
stopped"
AS to whether the prospects Of home
rule were adversely affected by the at.
titude Of the Irish, Mr.. Redmond said
he thought Ireland had nothing to lose,
and everything to gain by raising her
voice OH the side Of justice and liberty.
Mr.. Patrick Joseph Power, member
for the East division of Waterford
county, seconded Mr.. Redmond S amend.
ment.
MIR. Redmond's amendment was re.
jected by vote Of 36S to 66. The house
then adjourned.

WANTED MORE TROOPS.
Reason for General Frenchs Recent Visit
to Cape Town.


Reason for General French's Recent Visit
to Cape Town.
LONDON, Feb. Sit appears that
General French's visit to Cape Town
was to ask Lord Roberts for 1000 more
men. Whether he got them is not dis
closed.
Troops are no longer detained at Cape
Town. They proceed Immediately to
some point at the front. Three thou.
sand disembarked Monday and were
quickly sent elsewhere. No public re-
ception was given to the arriving volun-
teers at Cape Town, because they had to
leave Immediately. As Lord Roberts,
since the battle of Spion Kop, has had
10000 fresh troops to dispose Of, it is
probable some have gone to General
Rnllar.

Will Not Join a Movement to Reopen the

BERLIN, Feb. 6.-With reference to
the attempt of French diplomacy and
journalism to induce Germany to join
in a movement against England in
Egypt, a high parsonage at the foreign
Office made the following statement:
Germany will not join movement
to reopen the Egyptian question. Aside
from the question whether France and
Russia mean honestly, Germany is con-
vinced it would be unloyal and unfair
to seize moment when England is
deeply engaged elsewhere for such a
step.'
