WOMEN FOR THE COLONIES,

for Emigration From England

for Emigration From England.
LONDON, March I4--At a meeting 10
day of the British WomeH's Emigration
Society, Colonial Secretary Chamberlain
MADE an eloquent address in which he adj
Focated the purposes Of the socfetv-tEl.-
sending OF English women to the colonies
and recommended that the work b..
greatly expanded He also recommended
the raising Of 4 special fund for the pUr-
pose OF encouraging emigration Of women
To South Africa.
Ar- Chamberlain said he thought the
time had arrived when the bulk OF Eng
lands emigration should go 10 strengthen
her own colonies.
He said there is a surplus of women
here The natural result IS that the ex-
ira women are debarred from the full
ness OF life and are jostling one another
in the struggle for existence.
On the other hand, in the colonies. the
disproportion between the male and fe-
male population was just the reverse. In
South Africa everything had been stopped
by the var, but he looked forward to a
speedy return of 4 better state Of affairs.
When that time came there would be
IN all human probability, an enormous
development OF that country such as
South Africa had never seen Great Brit

was not too much to say. declared Mr.
Chamberlain, that the happiness and
comfort CT these men and the tone of So
clety there viii depend largely on the
emigration of women from England He
attached the utmost Importance to this
question. which. he said, had political as
We'll as social consequences
Mr. Chamberlain recommended the es-
Enlistment OF voluntary committees for

COAL MINERS DETERMINED,

HAZLETON, Pa, March i4-Today-s

form wage scale for this kind of work at
the different collieries As conditions
vary widely in the several districts. a uni
form wage scale, the operators say. can
not be established and would not work
satisfactorily to either the men or the
company. They have, on this. account re
sisted the establishment Of a uniform
wage and win do so again if the present
convention should make demand for
one The delegates here, however, say
that there is no reason why there should
be IS much as so cents a day difference
in pay. for the same work at different col

force the question to an issue
Although very little strike talk is heard
7 among the delegates, it is quite evident
that they are fully conscious Of the
strength of their organization and its
power TO paralyze the coal industry for
weeks and perhaps for months

dominance Of young men among its dele

POSTPONED UNTIL MAY.
The Hemp Scandal Enquiry Delayed
on Account of Witnesses.


The Senate Committee on Military At
fairs today decided 70 postpone the inves-
LEGATION of the charges made against
Lieutenant Colonel Heistand. Adjutant
General Corbin, and other officials. by
Major E l. Hawks, until May /.
The reason given for the delay IS that
all the witnesses cannot reach Washing
ton before that time The date has been
set six weeks ahead SO that half dozen
witnesses now in the Philippines and who
have been cabled for, can arrive.
The absence of Senator Proctor is said
TO have nothing TO do with the postpone
ment of the hearing Messrs Harris and
Cockren claim that the committee IS will
ing to go ahead as soon as the witnesses
arrive
There viii be no whitewash," said
Senator Harris today i have heard
comments OF this kind. but I can assure
you that the truth will be known and all
guilty parties punished"
The committee has all the letters and
documents in the case and these will be
used The hearings are TO be secret. as il
IS not proposed TO let any evidence be
come public until the report OF the mi
nOrity IS published.
Mr. Proctor is expected to return 20 the
