COUNT Won BUELOW
Explains Kruger Affair to German
ReiehHEag

Berlin. Dec. 12.-In the reichstag today
the imperial chancellor. Count Won Bue-
low. referring to the complaints which
have arisen en- account Of Emperor Will
SANS failure 10 meet Nr. Kruger. went
lengthily again into the reasons Tor tne
non-reception Of Mr.. kruger. covering
new ground in a statement which he
made as To the relations between Ger
many and Great Britain. He said the
announcement that Mr.. kruger was com
ing was made tweuty-four. or, a. the
most. forty-eight hours before MS leave
ing Tor Berlin Up 10 that hour Il had
been assumed that Mt Kruger wound go
from Paris 10 Hollond. The chsncel %
added:

siderations were authoritative. If fam
lily relations or dynastic considerations
influenced the foreign policy he would
not remain minister another day.
Continuing, the chancellor said the
Anglo-German agreement of 1898 did not
contain a provision relating to war be-
tween Great Britain and the South At
ricap republics. The Yangtse and Sam
oan agreements had no secret clauses.
When the emperor, in 1896, sent the tele-
gram to Mr.. Kruger there was no ques-
ton Of war between the states. 1t was
a matter Of a filibustering expedition
The chancellor did not repudiate the tele-
gram whereby the emperor gave a cor
rect expression Of his righteous feeling re-
garding international law. The emperor
did not intend to determine German pol
icy by that telegram. The chancellor
added: II commit no diplomatic indiscre-
ton in saying that the reception Of that
telegram outside of Germany left no
doubt that in. the event of a conflict with
England in Africa Germany would have
to rely solely on her own strength.
Baron Won Richthofen, secretary Of
state for foreign affairs, referring to the
expulsion Of Germans from the Trans
vaal and the Orange Free State terri
tories. said:
1T has appeared to me that these ex-
pulsions in many cases have been unjus-
tifable, both as to cause and manner,
and contrary to the principles of inter
national law and an expression Of this
view has been made in London. On the
other hand, the Germans who have been
fighting side by side with the Beers,
have not met with a happy lot. They
have been dismissed without pay and
told We did not invite you
Prior to Count Won Buelow's speech,
DR.. Hasse, the Pan-American leader,
sharply criticised the failure of the gov
eminent to receive Mr.. Kruger. While
admitting that Germany could not
adopt any other position than that Of
the strfctest neutrality, he thought that
the government should avaid the ap-
pearance Of breaking neutrality in favor
of England. He referred 10 the services
done England by a. German ship in
South African waters. and complained
further that the manner of the refusal
to see Mr.. Kruger has wounded German
sentiment. lie added that the English
thought they could give Germany treat
ment different to that extended to other
nations, claiming that English officers
had treated Germans scandalously in
South Africa, saying OF them they are
only Germans whereas they treated
Frenchmen and even Greeks vel.

President Gompers closed the debate,
Speaking for the conservatives, trose who
were opposed to the original resolutions.
If the resolutions were to pass in their
most radical form, he said it would not
accelerate the progress Of the labor cause
but would only invite drastic opposition.
He claimed that when men become i'm
bued with the principles Of Socialism
they usually lose their interest in trade
unionism.
The substitute of the committee was
adopted by an overwhelming majority,
the vote being 4169 affirmative to GS5 neg

A spirited. but short debate was precip-
itated by a resolution advocating that
members of organized labor shall patron
lie only such wine, liquor or Deere deal
ers as sell products bearing the union
label. Many delegates opposed action,
which, as they claimed, would place the
convention on record as afiEated with
any liquor dealers association and the
resolution was laid on the table
The special committee on the eight hour
law turned over all resolutions on that
subject to the incoming executive coun-
Gil.
The convention adjourned until tomOr-

thirty miles south Of Texarkana. on the

Clerk John n. Dennis was almost killed
and mail pouches Of his car rifed Of
their contents. The amount stolen is not
known.
As the train left the Bassets water
tank at q. m. the express and mail
cars were separated from the train. but
the train crew soon had them coupled
again. In the run from there 10 TeXar-
kama the coaches were uncoupled twice
in a very mysterious manner
Upon the arrival Of the train here the
United States transfer clerk went 70 the
door OF the mail car and knocked for
the postal clerk to open it. No response
was given from the inside Officials then
forced an entrance TO the car and we're
astonished TO ind the clerk, John y,

A hurried examination showed that the
registered pouches had been ripped opea
and robbed Of their contents, the most
valuable OF which. the Waco-Memphis
through pouch, contained a large num-
Der Of valuable packages.
A physician was sent for and II was

TO FIGHT A TRUST
Independent Glass bakers Want to
Organize.

Cleveland. O., Dec. 13.-The Plain-Deal-
er says: 1.-The meeting Of the independent
glass manufacturers which has just come
to a close in this city promises to have
a marked effect upon that industry in
the United States Practically every in
dependent glass manufacturer IN the
country attended in person or was rep
resented by proxy at the meeting. The
preliminary steps were taken toward the
formation of a strong and complete or
ganization, the purpose Of which win be
to force the American Window Glass
company. better known as the Window
Glass trust, to make terms with the in
dependent manufacturers. Otherwise a
war to the death will be inaugurated."

HAD A HOI DEBATE
Federation of Labor Discusses
Economic Subjects.
DEBATE ON SOCIALISM
GOmperS Advises Conservatism
With Success.

Louisville, Ky, Dec. 13.-The conserva-
tive element in the Federation of Labor
was dominant throughout today's pro-
ceedings Of the convention. Two resolu-
tons championed by the radical element
were voted down by Overwhelming ma
jorites. One was bitter pronOuncement
against trusts and monopolies in general,
and the other a declaration in favor of
the cooperative commonwealth and gov
eminent ownership and control of all
means Of production and distribution.
For both Of them much more moderate
substitutes were adopted after long de-
bate.
Throughout the debate the proponents
of the resolutions claimed Socialism as
the only solution Of the industrial prob
lens; trade unionfsm, they said, would
last as long as the competitive system
prevails. but the competitive system
should be done away with and the co
operative commonwealth should take its
place
President Gompers and his colleagues,
who opposed the resolutions, took the
ground that the federation should not be
committed to any political party, and
that the government ownership PROPOSE
ton is at this time an impracticable
theory. with no definite plan for develop
ment into a working system.
The prospect is that the business OF the
convention will not be terminated until
Saturday night.
