CONDEhNS THE WAR AND THROWS
OUT TIM HEALY.
DUBLIN, Dec. n.-Delegates to the
number of several thousand represent
ing county councils, borough corpora
tlons, district councils, branches of the
United Irish league and kindred bodies
met today in national convention in the
Dublin rotunda to re-create the Irish
party
John Redmond, who presided, said it
was the parliament of the Irish people,
Seventy-fve Irish members Of the house
of commons were present and several
priests were on the platform.
John Dillon, amid cheers, proposed a
resolution to the effect that the South
African war was entered upon in pur-
suance of a conspiracy to deprive two
free nations of their liberty in the inter
est Of capitalists and mine owners.
The resolution was adopted unanimous
ly and the convention ordered it tele-
graphed to the president of the Afrikan-
der bund
William O'Brien introduced a resolu-
tion excluding Timothy NJ. Healy from
the parliamentary party. While their
differences were of a personal character,
he urged that for the sake of harmony
Mr.. Healy's exclusion was necessary.
Timothy Harrington, who was frequent
ly interrupted said that if the action of
the delegates plunged the country into
the vortex of despair, future generations
would curse the convention and those
who participated in it.

LONDON, Dec. 1.-When the house of
commons went into committee of supply
today William st. John Broderick, the
secretary Of state for war, introduced
the supplementary estimates of e16 OO0,-
600 for the army. He admitted the gov
ernment's expectations had not been over
sanguine, and it is anticipated that the
expenditure to March 81 will be short
of the outlay the government had been
mourning during the whole financial
year. He added that tne government 8
policy was to pursue the war with the
strongest possible force and continuous
stream of supplies, so that peace may
the more quickly be achieved.
Mr.. Broderick added that he believed
that the government was now asking for
the final sum required for this abnormal
war.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt. Liberal.
expressed the opinion that the house had
not heard a more distressing confession
Although his original opinion of the cir
cumstances leading to the unhappy war
was not altered he would oppose the
vote. The whole secret of the govern
ments miscalculationS, he said, was tbs
it was in nowise a, warfare of govern
ments, but conflict of races. He
thought that now they had overthrown
the governments of the republics by
deal with the brave burghers remaining
not by perpetually increasing the expen-
diture, but by a policy of reconciliation
Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman said
that the secretary of state for war had
made a frank statement as to the real
condition Of affairs and he expressed a
hope that the government would bring
home the volunteers.
Mr.. BroderiCk replied that it would be
ri1,
any pledges on that subject as Lord
kitchener must be kept supplied with
many mounted men.
ROAST FOR CHAMBERLAIN.
Timothy Healy remarked: "a war
begun in braggadocio and hypocrisy has
brought humiliation to England and the
culprit is in the colonial Office
Henry Labouchere expressed the opin-
ion that guerrilla warfare in South Afri-
ca might last for two years.
The supplemental estimate Of 916, ,000, 900
was then adopted by a vote of 2S4
against g..
The house. having gone into committee
of ways and means, the chancellor of
the exchequer, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach,
explained that the existing borrowing
powers of the chancellor anly amounted
to e5, ,000,000. He moved, therefore, a
resolution authorizing him to borrow by
war loans, exchequer bonds, or treasury
bills Ell 900. He said he did not ex-
pect to use his borrowing powers until
February or March, and he wanted the
house to postpone any discussion on the
subject until the second reading, next
Thursday.
Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman ex-
pressed his approval of the resolution,
which was agreed to.
The committee then arose and the house
adjourned.

CAPE TOWN, Dec. 11.-Sir Alfred Mil
ner, governor of Cape Colony today re-
ceived the deputation appointed by the
recent Afrikander congress, to present
for transmission to the British govcrn-
ment, the three resolutions adopted by
the congress.
In reply to the delegation's spokesman
he said:
81 shall forward these resolutions to
the imperial government with my strong
disapproval. They were framed by clever
men now engineering the present agita-
ton, and encouraging those who arc car
Iying an hopeless resistance"
Of the resolutions adopted at Worcester
the first demands the termination of the
war, with its untold misery; protests
against the devastation of the country
and burning of farms, (which will leave
a lasting inheritage of bitterness and
declares that the independence of the
republics will alone insure peace in South
Africa.
The second urges the right of the col
ony TO manage its own affairs, and CEN
sures the policy of Sir Alfred AIilner.
The third pledges the congress to
labor in a constitutional way to obtain
the ends defined in the two preceding res

Debate on the Ways and Means Bill
Was Between Chairman Payne
and Representative
Swanson.

WASHINGTON, Dec 11.-When the
house met today Mr.. Hull, chairman of
the committee On military affairs, re-
ported back from that committee a sub
sdtute for the briggs resolution for an
investigation of the alleged ''hazing'',
of Oscar Booz. at West Point, providing
that the secretary of war be REQUIRED f0
report the result of his investigation to
the house of representatives, together
with such recommendations as he NAV
see fit to make.
The presentation of the resolution and
the reading of the reports of the secre-
tary of war and Col. Mills aroused great
interest in the house
Mr.. briggs On. V, the author of the
original resolution, protested vigorously
against the adoption of the substitute
resolution, as 1t did not include provi-
sion for an investigation of the general
subject of hazing at West Point with
view to putting a permanent stop to such
practices. The practice of infamously
hazing ''plebs'' at West Point was no
torious Mr.. briggs declared that he
would be in favor of abolishing the acad-
emy. If these brutal practices could not
be stamped out
Mr.. Hay CVa) favored a congressional
investigation, not, he said, because he
believed there was any ground for the
charges against the academy, but be-
cause he believed an investigation would
vindicate the academy and the cadets
In connection with the debate Mr. Hull
said he had little faith in congressional
Investigations. It was erroneous to be-
ieve that the army was interested In
shielding West Point, and he told what
had been done in the last five years to
stop hazing.
eff the charges of hazing should be
proved" asked Mr.. briggs, sis there any
law which could reach the cadets who
participated?''
1.-THE gentleman can answer that ques-
ton as well as To- answered Mr. Hull,
but If proven, If the war department
does not take steps to dismiss the guilty
ones from the academy, congress will
Mr.. Wanger's resolution for special
committee of five to investigate the case
was then adopted without division.
WAR REVENUE BILL.
Consideration of the bill for the reduc-
ton of the war taxes was begun. Mr..
Payne On. V, chairman of the commit
tee On ways and means, opened the de-
bate
Mr.. Payne said that in reporting the
pending bill the committee felt as though
they had gone to the farthest limit in
the amount of reduction with due regard
to prevention of deficits.
Mr. Swanson Va) a member of the
committee on ways and means, followed,
presenting the views of the minority.
Mr.. Swanson said the Democratic party
fully recognized the urgent necessity for
a reduction IN the revenues of this gov
ernment; during four years taxation had
increased over $26O, 600 and he declared
that if this heavy burden was continued
business and commerce would seriously
suffer He expressed regret that the Re
publicans had failed to avail themselves

them to resume their deliberations at

that it ultimately will be unable to agree.

restless.

government today finally and definitely
refused to take the initiative in behalf
of arbitration between the Transvaal ard
Great Britain.
The decision of the government was
communicated in an interview between.
Mr. Kruger and DR.. Leyds on one side
and the Dutch foreign minister and the
minister of finance, N. P. Pierson, on the
other. Mr.. Kruger explained that the OBJ
jeet of his journey was to disseminate
the idea of arbitration, and the Dutch
minister replied that the role Of the
Netherlands must be passive. The ini-
tiative belonged to the great powers,
they added. When the powers had reach
ed a decision. the Dutch government
might see what it could do.
A serenade of Mr.. Kruger by the
scholars fixed for tonight has been pro-
hibited by the police, out of fear of dis
turbances.
