 Boston. May 91-Amid storm of ap-
 plause, a long set of resolutions ex-
 pressing sympathy with the South Af- rican republics and calling upon the | United States government to make known to Great Britain that this coun- try is opposed to the action of England in the present war in South Africa, were unanimously adopted at the close of the reception to the Boer envoys, Messrs, Fischer, Wolmarans and Wes- sels, in Faneuil hall this evening. The hall was crowded and when the Boer deputations entered the hall, they were greeted with enthusia sm.
 When MT Fischer the chairman of the Boer deputation, was introduced the whole audience rose and cheered. He said in part: "1 came to America to plead our cause; I think now that one of our mistakes was in thinking that it would be necessary to plead our cause here. We have been called bar barians Well, here we are tonight barbarians as you see. Time after time have misstatements been made about
 
 lie repeated often enough will become a truth We have asked for fair hear ing in England and it has been denied us. England is afraid to face the issue. Before the war broke out, when the British and Boer representatives met to discuss the affairs of the republics, we yielded point after point to the high commissioner of England We accept ed everything. and then it was that MT, Chamberlain denounced the commits sioner's own proposal as an insult to Great Britain. Yet we are called the aggressors. Finally we were forced to fight to defond our country. The time came when if liberty was to mean any thing more than an empty name to us we must take up arms to maintain it'
 MT Fischer denied the charges of slavery among the Boers and declared that when the war broke out the blacks all begged to be allowed to fight for the Boers and contributed voluntarily more than they could have been justly assess ed for
 MT. Wolmarans made brief speech in Dutch. MT. Fischer acting as his in- terpreter He reiterated the arguments of MT. Fischer dwelling especially on the charge of slavery in South Africa
 The final speaker was MT. Vessels, l who, although not very familiar with | the English language, gave a graphic picture of the situation in South Africa | during the war, describing the loyalty | of the men and the devotion of the wo- | men.

DERRY STRIKE sETTKED.
Mnchinists of the Driggs-Senbury Com.
 pnny to Return to Work

Derby, Conn, May 31--At meeting
 between the striking macMnists of the
 Driggs-Seabury Gun and Ammunition company and their employers, held this afternoon, the strike which has existed for more than two weeks, was declared off and the men will return to work to- morrow morning.. While the settlement is regarded as victory for the Driggs- Seabury company, 1t was, in fact, brought about by a compromise, both sides making concessions. The leaders of the strike movement however, by admitting their unwillingness to return to work on the basis of to-day's settle menth concede that the terms were un- satisfactory.
 The trouble was caused through the discharge of a workman named Elliott who, it was claimed, had tempered with ''shaper" operated by an Armenian, who had just gone to work in the fac tory. When the charge was brought against Elliot he claimed that he was not responsible, but although he knew who did tamper with the machine he would not tell his name. The man then was discharged. A demand was then made by the other workmen in the fac tory that Elliot be reinstated, and when this request was refused the entire force, numbering 335 men, went out on strike
 The men to-day agreed to return to work, withdrawing their demand that Elliot be reinStated, on condition that the factory be run as a union shop" and the International Association of Machinists be recognized. While the leaders among the strikers were not satisfied with this settlement the ma jority of the men were willing to ac- cept the terms, and it wes decide1 to return to work to-inorrow morning rThe leaders, however, who include about per cent. of the whole number of strik- ers announce that they would not re- turn to their old positions, and that they would leave Derby tomorrow in search of employment elsewhere Had the strike been prolonged, the situation would have been particularly serious for the Driggs- -Seabury company, as they have on hand at the present time contracts from the United States gov ernment calling for nearly three quar- ters of million dollars worth of work ] Besides this they have a number of smaller contracts.

 "One hundred men landed and sent Tien-Tsin yesterday Fifty of these go to Pekin this day. Other nations land ed men. Kempff'
 The Chinese minister, Wu Ting Fang. called at the state department at an early hour to-day to talk with Secretary Hay. He had no information from his own government as to the critical situa- tion in China and was anxious for news.
 Resident representatives of nearly all of the other nations interested in the Chinese situation were among Secretary Hays callers to-day. But as in the case of the Chinese minister none of them had received any information from his own government bearing upon the sit uation. Count Cassini. the Russian anl- bassador, who is leaving the United States for visit to Europe. and called say good bye to Secretary Hay is decid- edly of the opinion that much unwar- ranted anxiety has been excited as to the actions of the Boxers He feels con- fident that there Is little danger to the life and property of foreigners in China to be expected from the present upris- ing. There are, of course, he said, al- ways disorderly clements in a great city like Pekin, quick to take advantage of any public excitement, so that it was probably wise precaution on the part of the foreign ministers resident in that capital to call for marine guards for their respective legations, the presence of these small but splendid organiza- tions having a wholesome effecf upon the would-be turbulent clements in Pekin.
 Mir. Nabeshima, in charge of the Jap- anese legation, who also was among Sec retary Hays callers, was likewise dis posed to minimize the dangers of the Boxers uprising He pointed out that at all times in Chinese history, the sec ret societies were fomenting trouble. and the present disturbance growing out of the operations of the Boxers was not nearly so formidable as many pre- ceding ones.
