WEBSTER DAVIS FOR BOERS.
Makes Strong Speech at Washington Which Creates Great
Enthuasm Big Crowd Attends.

Washington, April .. Webster
Davis. late assistant secretary of the
interior. madea profoundly impressive
speech at the Grand opera house last
night. before an audience that liter
ally jammed the auditorium and the
stage. Thousands We're unable to gain
admittance. On the stage We're Sena-
tors Mason and Allen, Representatives
LentZ. De Almond, Shafroth, Talbert
and Sulzer. the latter accompanied by
Judge Conlan of New York. Mr..
Davis address consumed two hours in
delivery, and evoked tears, derisive
laughter and enthusiasm of Il remark
able description. Some administrations
lists Were in the house. They Missed
Chairman Moran's uncOmplimentary
references to the administration, but
the Kisses were lost amid hurricane
of applause.
One man interrupted Mr.. Davis
when he was speaking of the British
control of the mail and cables, by
saying: Yes, and they own the ad-
ministration." 1t was crucial test.
There was intense silence for IL mo-
ment. Then Mr.. Davis replied: Let
the administration alone. 1t is II pa
triotic one and will do its duty"
Secretary Davis made these import
ant points:
First-That there are 100000 British
in the field and only 10000 Beers.
Second-That the Beers have not
violated the Red Cross and the white
flag.
Third-That the British have done
both.
Fourth-That the British use dunn
dun bullets.
Fifth-rhat the British lost 1000
men on the Spion kop, while the Beers
lost but 147.
SiXth-rhat Buffers army of 10000
and Whites of $4,000 We're made to
suffer Il loss of 10000 men by 1000
Beers.
Seventh-That the attitude of this
country is continuously miSrepresented
throughout Europe by British agents,
to give the impression that the United
States will resent any intervention in
South Africa by European nations.
Eighth-That the British Lancers,
after Il battle was over, lanced all the
wounded burghers.
\inth-rhnt Il wounded British SOL
dier asked fourteen-year-old boy
Boer for Il drink of water. and when
the boy offered him drink out of his
canteen the British soldier stabbed him
to the heart.
The evening was one of excitement,
Mr.. Davis speaking with vchemence,
with pathos, and always with intense
dramatic effect. When he depicted the
gallant efforts of the Beers and their
success against an overwhelming force
of the British. shouts of derision arose.
When he told of the British acts of in
humanity. the auditors shuddercd and
women groaned aloud. When he com
pared the Beers with the American
colonial patriots the excitement was
hysterical. Complacent Washington.
in its official circles, has been thrilled
tonight as it has not been in years.

Chicago Cigarette Ordinance Is valid.

Washington. April 9.-The United
States Supreme Court decided today
the case of Gundling vs. The City of
Chicago. involving the validity of the
anti-cigarette ordinance of that city.
The ordinance was attacked as un-
constitutional The opinion was hand
ed down by Justice Paclham and held
the ordinance not to be unconstitution-

The National Bank of Commerce o,

The National Bank Of Commerce of
St. Louis, the largest not only in that
city. but in the whole southwest, has
set aside one hundred thousand dollars
toward permanent pension fund for
It's employees, and has also announced
that henceforth they will share in the
profits of the institution. The fact
would be worth mentioning merely as
piece of financial news, but 1t is still
more significant on account of the rea-
sons which the board OF directors give
for their action. I'VE do not look upon
it as a gift" they say, but as right
accruing from faithful service, which
we believe will be better and more eff
cient in every way when each employe
has such a stimulus before him." The
directors are undoubtedly right. Their
action is only another illustration of
the growing tendency of employers to
recognize their responsibility to their
employees, and an increasing desire on
their part to reward faithful service
and provide for honorable old age. Sue
cess to every such attempt!
The Grit-advocate., 1900-04-13

While the Emperor of Russia has
been seeking with noble ambition to
reform the warike habits of European
nations through the reduction of mill
tary and naval outlay, the empress
has also been at work in another field
of operations. She has been setting
the example Of simplicity and economy
in dress at luxurious court. The en-
peror as man of peace found himself
surrounded with soldiers who were
guarding the approaches to the palace.
He disliked military reviews, and re-
duced the number Of battalions en-
ployed for the purpose of protecting
him. 1t was practical method of
letting his subjects know how that he
took little pleasure in the pomp anG
glory Of military power. The empress,
as the daughter OF the late Grand
Duke of Hesse, had been brought up
In quiet German court, where there
were few great functions and where
pr1ncesses were accustomed to dress
plainly. She became the central figure
of the court of St. Petersburg, where
there were magnificent ceremoniaas,
and the great ladies we're arrayed in
the costAest Partisan costumes. She
hes astonished them by the Quietness
and plainnes5 Of her own gowns on
stately occasions, and by her lack Of
interest in the luxurious pleasures OF
Z rish and powerful court. o..
