CHAMBERLAIN A JUDAS.
Australian Says the Secretary Has
Betrayed His Country.

betrayed His Country.
San Francisco, Jan 12.-According to
J. F. Archibald, editor and proprietor
Of Tie Sydney Bulletin. who arrived
here yesterday from Australia. there is
a growing feeling in Australia that the
British colonies are making a serious
mistake in aiding England to wage war
against the TransvaaL
1T was a grave error for Australia
to send out troops TO South Africa," he
said. 1t amounts to an abandonment
Of our independence
Personally, Mr.. Archibald considers
the war with the Transvaal monstrous,
unjustifiable and entirely unprovoked.
He said:
Joseph Chamberlain is a Judas who
has betrayed all parties and interests
with which he has been identified. He
betrayed the radicals. he betrayed
Gladstone, and now he has betrayed
his country for the benefit Of the peO-
pie with whom he was in c0mmunica-
ton at the time of the Jameson raid
England deserves TO lose the fight be-
cause of its manifest unjUstness.

SMALL BREWERS PROTEST.
An Apparently Innocent BiIi De-

An Apparently Innocent BiIi De-
nounced by Gr. Nelson.
The bill repeating the existing law, per-
mittiug beer to be put Up in sixth and
eighth barrels, was the subject Of a vigor-
Gus prot ST at the session OF the Senate
Finance Committee yesterday. The pro-
test was made by Senator Nelson. The bill
was passed by the House ten days ago,
under suspension Of the rules after a brief
explanation that the legislation was asked
by the brewing Interests and that it met
the approval of the Internal Revenue Blu
reau.
According 10 the statement OF Mr.. Nelson
the bill is class legislation Of the worst
character. IN that IL favors the big brewer
les ard discrimiuates against the small
ones. He explained that the sixth and
eighth barrels or "keg-" were used almost
exclusively BY the small breweries. the
large ones finding il Improbable to bother
with them. II the use OF kegs were denied
the small breweries. they would, Mr. Mel
son said be forced out OF business for they
could not compete with the big establish
ments on the packages Of large size.
The abolition of the small sizes would
also help the big breweries because con-
sumers would be compelled to purchase
bottled beer which was put mp almost eX-
clusively by the bis brewories-
Mr. Nelson presented the protest OF hf-
tv-one brewers in Minnesota against the
passage Of the bill. These comprise. he
said. every brewery in the State with one
exception, and that one was also a bother
He had also received protests from sew
eral cOOpeTage establishments in Mime
sofa. which represented that the passage
Of the bill by the House alone had brought
to standstiu the manufacture Of small
packages. leaving large stocks Of finished
and partly manufactured material on their
hands.
Mr. Nelson contended that the Internal
Revenue Bureau had not recommended the
legislation. and pointed to the fact that
| Commissioner Wilson had stated that he
was warranted in recommending the pro-
posed change on the ground that il would
make a perCeptible difference in the rev
enue. The Commissioner had also stated
+ that legislation was desired by the United
! Brewers Association. which claimed to
! represent about So per cent Of the pro-
! ducing interests in fermeuted liquors, but
I that as it was impTactcable to obtain the
! views Of the retail trade the Commissioner
| expressed the opinion that the expediency
] of the legislation was a matter Of which
/ Congress should judge. The passage Of
| the bill. Mr. Nelson said was being urged
/ by the Brewers Trust for the purpose OF
! crushing ou' by legislation the competition
Of the small brewers Of the country.
After hearing Mr.. Nelson the committee
referred the bill to a subcommittee for

Georae'S Creek Men May Not Accept

CUMBERLAND, Nd March 2.-The
miners OF the Georges Creek region may
not accept the advance Of 10 cents per
ton offered by the operators after April 1.
The United Mine Workers, recently or
ganized. hold that the operators can afford
an increase OF IS cents per ton, and a
prominent member thinks that at the con-
ference Of the Central Pennsylvania snd
the Georges Creek Myersdale miners 20 be
held at Altoona in two weeks the latter
will be instructed not to accept the 10
cents offered. Whether this would close
all the mines in the region is doubtful
Not all the miners are members OF the or

ganization are reported to be opposed to a
suspension in the face OF a 10-cent ad-
vance Many are also opposed to the joint
conference with the representatives, of the

contended that they are having trouble in

Maryland miners involved.
The advance Of 10 cents makes the high
