Virginian-pilot. (Norfolk, Va.) 1898-1911, 1900-03-17

The Richmond Times, in a very
fatherly and avowedly most impartial
spirit, comes forth and condemns Pres
ident Kruger by ascribing to him in
sincere motives in making his appeal
for peace. In criticising his action, our
Richmond contemporary says: cit is
hard to understand President Kruger's
dispatch to Lord Salisbury otherwise
than as grand-stand play to influence
the sympathies of the world in behalf
of the Transvaal." After quoting a
passage from the dispatch, the Times
asks: ''Who believes in the sincerity
of that statement?"
1t might be easy for that imaginary
parsonage. Sherlock Holmes, to de-
cipher motives through actions, but we
cannot help thinking that for the aver
age man to sit In judgment upon the
motives that influence another man, To-
Gated thousands of miles away, is. to
say the least. rather uncertain work
Most Americans, who really love lib
erty and loathe oppression, and like to
see fair play. are in sincere sympathy
with the splendid struggle that the
hardy little Republic is making, and
the self-sacrificing valor her citizens
are displaying. But even if we do not
care to champion openly the cause OF
the Beers let us at least refrain from
bemeanng the nation by unveiled hints
of false motives.
Anglophobia seems just now to be a
spreading disease in some circles Act
i've measures should be taken at once
to stamp 1t out. 1t really has no place
on American soil.

FLOUR MILLS TO CLOSE.
Minneapolis Firms VIII Shut DOwT
for an Indefinite PeriOd-Short-
age in the Demand,

Minneapolis, Mimi, Oct. S.-Nearly
one-half of the flour mills operating
in Minneapolis will close for an in
definite length of time. The Wash
burn-Crosby and the Pillsbury Mill
ing companies report that 40 per cent.
of their mills will close, and it is also
reported that the Consolidated Mill
ing company will discontinue opera
tions, although it Is not learned how
many mills will be affected. The Of
ficials report the u due exclusive
ly to the marked shortage in demand
for -four. The foreign trade, it is de-
clared, is practically dead, while the
present stock of the mills will be suf-
ficient to supply the domestic trade
for some time to come. 1t is contend
ed generally that the coming election
and political excitement have to some
extent brought about the sudden de-
cline in demand, and it is probable
that none of the mills will resume OPP
erations until after it is over.

West Point Walters Strike.

two of the walters in the cadet mess
stopped work just before the dinner
hour Saturday night and refused to
handle a single ration unless a raise
of five dollars per month in their sal
aries was guaranteed. Maj. Hall, treas
urer of the commissary department,
was summoned and acceded to the de-
mand. A strike is also pending in two
of the other departments. The griev-
ances are based upon the recent in
csease in the number Of cadets, which
naturally makes additional work for
the civilian employees. The old scale
for the mess hall walters was $50 per

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 15.-A can
vass of the operators of the Wyoming
valley shows that there is consider
able opposition to granting the miners
any more concessions than those out
lined in the original offer, namely, ten
per cent. increase without any CON
ditions. The individual operators espe-
cially are opposed to tying themselves
up to any agreement. One operator
said the only way the strike can be
settled is for the strikers to accept
the ten per cent. without any provi-
sions. Despite the views of the OPP
orators, the impression here is that
the strike will be ended this week.
