Surely the WoOdman order is taY-
ored of heaven. Yesterday as far as
weather went was a faultless day; a
clear sky and typical June tempera-
ture left nothing to be desired. Special
trains carrying the Woodmen visitors
began arriving early in the morning,
the first coming over the Northwestern
from Chicago at 7:15. From that time
on till noon trains over all roads came
in at intervals of a few minutes bring
ing each from 600 to 1000 passengers,
with aisles and platforms crowded, and
it is certain that all of $4,000 people
visited Madison yesterday.
The parade was a moving spectacle.
1t was well planned in all details, and
Marshal r. c. Vernon and MS AIDS
pulled the performance of in a very
creditable manner. For an hour or
more the several contingents were
gathering on Monona avenue, each
camp as it came up being assigned
convenient place so as to be IN read
mess when the marshaltng into line
began. About 1870 Marshal Vernon
gave command to fall in line, and the
makeup of the parade began. 1t was
accomplished without any serious
hitch, and in very short time the
great pageant was moving on the
course previously fixed upon.
There were nearly 1000 in line, the
several WOodman camps and others in
the order following;

anything near as satisfying as the an
nouncement then who consulted and
por,ook of it have no cause to regret
the experience.
One Of the sad sights OF the picnic
was the way the young men lined up
| in front of the bars in the saloons,
which does not augur very tayorahly
for the temperance movement. Ret
ter things are expected of the young
generation but the experience of Tues
day would indicate that things are
Gong wet quite extensively.
The lakes had good many visitors.
and the Columbia on Lake Mendoza
was kept busy from an early hour un-
til late In fact if she had been
trchlcd in capacity she would have
done good business. The steam
launches were in demand and gcncr-
al disappointment was felt when it was
known that visitors would not be al
lowed at the Mendoza hospital.
Not a person in a thousand knows
who that tuba player was that gave a
delighted audience such a rare treat in
his solo and encore from the balcony
Of the Park hotel in the afternoon. 1t
was the universal opinion that both he
and his band were "aIl right"

for drunkenness but not one for pocket

Dances were held for the stCpovors

Charles Hanson and ED Cork had
charge of the armory hop where about
$50 couples had a jolly time.
The police were a tired lot when the
day was over. Some Of them had been
on duty for nearly IS hours.
The churches did noble work offer
ing retreats to visitors and serving
lunches; but they had to turn many
away. The Congregational church was

awning before the church under which
many found grateful rest.

NEW YORK'S "CRIMPS.'

An English Authority Lays the Blame
on the English Consul-American
Laws Approved.
We have again to complain that Mr..
Havelock Wilson, the Member for Mid
dlesbrough, Injuries his case by over
stating it. The House of Commons VIII
not, in the absence of actual proof, be-
lieve that her Majesty's Consul General
in New York winked while British sail
ors were being "plundered by crimps,
and that ship owners shared in the
spois" We admit that the letter from
the Consul General, written April TO-,
1896 and read to the House of Commons,
requires explanation. The Consul Cen
eral wrote:
1t is a matter of common repute that
they (the crimps) pay bonuses to ship
owners for the privilege of supplying
crews, and that there can be no doubt
that they recoup themselves by levying
fees from the sailors for whom they
procure employment.
We repeat that this statement de-
mands investigation. We are unable to
accept it's sweeping charge against ship
owners" 1t is unfortunately, true that
once in a long way master acts as in
Dictated by the Consul General. He
comes in touch with crimps, and at least
has the opportunity often enough to
commit the heinous offense named, of
conspring with a crimp to sWindle a
British sailor. But even assuming that
a ship owner would dare do this thing,
if the report of his conduct could be
kept from crossing the Atlantic, what
if the ''ghastly secret had to be shared
with the captain of the ship. We cannot
accept these statements. But surely 1t
was the clear duty of the Under Secre-
tary for Foreign Affairs to promise in
quiry into the allegations contained in
the Consul Generals letter.
We are obliged to say that Mr. Brod-
rick's reply to the speech of the Member
from Middlesbrough was lame, not to
say befogged. To be frank, the Under
Secretary does not seem to have master
ed the regulations and proper procedure
of the Consular Service and the machin-
cry for shipping, mastering. and dis
charging British seamen in foreign
ports. He alleged that the practices
complained of could only be checked by
The daily morning journal and courier. [volume] (New Haven, Conn.) 1894-1907, 1900-03-22

American Union. The contract between
a seaman and a British ship, verified
by the Consul, is a matter for the Unit
ed States; and Mr.. John Hay, the Secre-
tary Of State, would do his utmost to
stamp out the crimp. Moreover, we
fully believe that the local authorities
also would give sufficient protection and
assistance to the Consul General, whose
official residence we regret to think
leaves something desired.
We have been promised, and rested
upon the faith of the promise, that re-
forms would be inaugurated-by co-ope-
ration of the American Government, our
own, and British ship owners-and the
backsliding, and altogether unworthy
speech of the Under Secretary was a
poor substitute for report of some
progress. But before he sat down Mr..
Brodrick remarked that the President
of the Board of Trade had Just inform
ed him that he had been taking steps
in the matter,-and honorable members
would dc well to wait and see whether
something effective could not be done"
But Mr.. Brodrick himself has on more
than one occasion made statements
more reassuring than that, and he
seems to have forgotten all about it. 1t
is his duty and his office to know, and
he will do well to look after the affairs
of the Consular Service, and leave gem
eral politics to his hours of leisure, un,
til his position in the Government de-
mands from him their consideration

British Consuls at their own offices. +"
But does Mr. Brodrick seriously advance
the idea that a British sailor in New
York has no claim upon the services,
protection, and good offices OF a Consul
beyond the precincts of the Consulate?
May not the Consul in emergency mus
ter or discharge the crew on board snip,
and in this way save the sailor to some
extent from the snares and pitfalls OF
the crimp? Does the Consul General
deny that the authorities of New YORK
would afford police protection to the
Consulate and the neighborhood, and to
crews going on board or coming from
a ship? To say, as the Under Secre-
tary did, that there was nothing to pre-
vent crimping being carried on I'M
mediately outside those offices in New
York, or elsewhere" is to mock at one
of the most serious questions OF our
time. TheN least we can say IN reply
is that we are amazed that so rotten
plea ineXtenuation of laWlessness and
plumber should pe sci up by 4 response
BILE Minister of the Crown. There Is
crimping done in this country under the
American flag. But it has to be done
very quietly. Should lawlessnees and
robbery be resorted to, the local authori-
ties would undoubtedly strengthen the
hands of the Consul in an effective way
SO would the authorities of New York
in respect of our Consular officers. At

example of Antwerp under his very eye)
