The speech OF Mr. Clark, which lasted
almost two hours, was u notable effort,
replete with unique epigrams nd at
tracted much attention.
During the session and some time pro-
vious to the speeches by Clarke altti
Dinsmore and Sibley's announcement
an effort was made to pass d bill LOOK
ing to the appointment OF an expert

eral Lawton' patriotic career from the
time he left Fort Wayne as boy of IS
70 the time when ne died npon the bat
tlefield in the Philippines.
Mr. CLARK, IN the cours of his speech,
IN his characteristic way, laid down the
following propositions:
"a man is not a traitor because he is opposed
to dotag those things which jeoparli2e the
life of the republic.
An American is not pess mist because he
is unwilling TO see his untry adopt as a
settled policy the political principles of Alex

CHAMB 3RLAlN'S DEFENSE.
AT Last Aroused to an Attempted Justi-
fieation of His Course, In the
House of Commons.


LONDON, Feb. 6,-During debate III
the house of commons, Sir William
Vernon Harcourt said the war was cue
to sharp reversal of British polly
and TO needing the advice of wrong
people.
Mr.. Chamberlain then rose amid ap-
plause to make his long expected speech
defending the governments course.
He claimed that the position of Har-
court and the opposition was incongru
Gus.
First they said the war was unjust
and condemned the government for that,
then they turned around, and now
blame the government for not prosecut-
ing the war vigorously enough.
Chamberlain admitted that mistakes
had been made, but the government had
honestly hoped for a settlement until
the last moment These mistakes are
now being rectified. Soon the country
would have 100000 men of all arms. in
Guiding as many mounted infantry as
the Beers had. Of the whole force, that
of the Colonials would soon be nearly
one-fourth.
Mr.. Chamberlain said that the gov
eminent forces would soon assume til e
original plan of campaign which gave
every promise of success. AS to the
settlement of the trouble in South
Africa, he promised that there would
never again be Majuba settlement;
never again would British supremacy
in South Africa be threatened; never
again would Englishmen there be
treated as an inferior race.
The war has taught both sides to re-
spect each other, and he believed rhe
wounds would heal in time and that 4
permanent peace would be secured.
Chamberlain remarks were vigor.
ously applauded by the governmentsup

movement of wheat. which has at last
broken from it's lethargy and Is again at
tracing speculative attention. Foreign adj
vices, IL might be added. are not f1attering.
The German rye crop promises to be very
short; the same report comes regarding
French wheat. and English crop advices
are not of the best.
IT, as has been claimed. lower prices for
iron favor an increased consumption, cur
rent developments in this trade may be
classed as favorable. because concessions are
being steadily made In nearly every branch
of trade. The I.-ice of Bessemer pig and
steel billets for he last half of 1900 has
been agreed upon, the result being drop
of is per cent in pig iron and of 20 per
cent. in billets from the old nominal quo
closely adhered to OF late. Southern iron
advices are of shading in quotations. in
sympathy with similar action at Pittsburg,
Chicago and other iron markets.
Cotton is slightly weaker on reports OF
heavily increased acreage, but the crop is
late and advices this week are of an excess
of rain in the Mississippi valley and Texas.
Cotton goods are dull. Wool is dull and on
markets. Mems wear goods recorders are
of fair volume. while mills engaged on
women's wear goods are fairly well en-
ployed. The outlook favors lower prices
for the new spring weights.
Surplus visible wheat supplies are de-
creasing rapidly. lending interest to current
unfavorable crop reports. The decrease In
American stocks, as reported to Brad
streets in May, was Is, 10000 Blu, against
a falling off of 9033. 900 bu in April. Supplies
in Europe. Australia and Argentina also de-
creased, though TO a much less marked
extent and the result is an aggregate
worlds supply on June of 1435S3,0O0 bu.
supply of 156b5.000 bu less than on May /.
and, comparing with decrease in May a
year ago of less than 100000 bu and two
years ago of an increase of nearly 100000
blu. The decrease in American and
European suppliesais the largest reported
in any month since 1898. and is the largest

ARMED GUARDS FOR woRkMEN.
Brick Makers strike at West Terre
Haute I'm a Critical Stage.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE. Ind, June s.-State La
Dor Commissioner Mccormack came here
to-day to confer with the parties interested
in the lockout of the men at the plant of
the Terre Haute Brick and Pipe Company,
of West Terre Haute. Complaint was made
to the Governor by some West Terre
Haute people that armed officers were
marching through the streets of the town
with imported negro employees of the COM
pany. who were brought here from Indian
apols. A few weeks ago the employees at
the mandatory organized a lodge OF the
Brick Makers Alliance and then asked for
an increase of wages. This was refused.
and after few days the company posted
a notice that all former employees might
consider themselves at liberty to seek en-
ployment elsewhere Following this, i'm
ported men were put to work. AT first the
locked-out men were successful In inducing
a number of these men TO quit work.
Then the company furnished an escort of
officers for the workmen, and no one was
permitted to talk with them going to or
from work. The management OF the plant
is practically the same as that of the Brazil
plant, where there Is a labor dispute and
where Commissioner Mccormack went yes
terday. The company makes the positive
statement that under no circumstances will
union men be employed. The union men
say the company is paying the increased
wages to the imported workmen.
