that we have come to some sort Of an
agreement with the Beers" said Mr..
Chamberlain in another portion OF his
speech, that natives are not to be
employed in this war; but there is no
such agreement.
Incursions into protected districts
must be more severely dealt with, if
there is to be ssniping of soldiers from
behind hedges and even of women"
Rubbish" cried an Irish member.
Mr.. Chamberlain retorted that he had
met some ladies who had been assault
ed in this way.
If things have changed from bad to
worse in Cape Colony" he continued
1T is because the Cape rebels have
found rebellion a cheap, interesting and
even amusing performance. Then there
has been mistaken leniency; and this
was policy in the past
Botha, Dewet and Schalk- Burger do
not say that the war was caused by the
raid. They say they are fighting for
their independence. 1t is nonsense to
speak of offering terms to men who say
it must be a fight to the finish This is
not the policy of the government
Sir Edward Gray, liberal imperialist,
expressed bitter disappointment at the
tone of Mr.. Chamberlain's speech, altho
he agreed with the general military
policy of the government He said the
colonial secretary had dealt carelessly
with the subject of employing native
troops and had not distinguished be-
tween Africans. and highly trained In
dian troops.
John Redmond said Mr.. Chamber
lains speech was "a candid, if some
what brutal, exposition of the govern
ment's policy" and he prayed to God
that the resistance of the Beers might
be strengthened.
The debate was continued for another
hour after MIR. Chamberin speech and
an amendment to reduce the salary of
the colonial secretary was rejected. The
house then took up other subjects and
was still in session at 4 o'clock this
morning.

LANCER.
George Hoffman, senior member of
the firm, said last night that the trust,
known as the Chicago Milwaukee
Brewing association, was back of an
other brewery controlled by it, but in
the hands of receiver, which brewery
Was now attempting to send it's pro-
duct to their customers at the rate of
81 per barrel. This is $3.50 per barrel
less than beer has been sold since 1892.
1T looks like a general war" said he,
and there is no telling where the price,
will go. We will sell beer for the price
of the revenue stamp and lose the
brewery and all we have before we will
be dictated to. We were raised in Chi
cago and have been in the business a
good many years. have worked up a
good trade, and simply because we re-
fused to agree to several clauses in re-
cent labor agreements made by the
trust 1T has determined to drive us out
of the business.
Prices are being cut and smashed
by the trust. Hoffman Brothers do not
want to do anything detrimental to
anybody's business, and rather than be
bulldozed we have cut loose from them.
They can not force us into the associa-
ton. We were doing too we'll, so they
concluded to compel US to join them,
and unless they soon let go and stop
trying to steal our customers there will
be a big war. We want our rights,
want everybody to have theirs, because
things have got to the stage where you
must treat customers right
THAT we have been doing, hence the
cupidity of the trust. 1t has closed the
Eagle brewery on Portland avenue, the
Banner on Wilcox avenue, the Phoenix
on Division street and the Excelsior on
Larrabee street"
Asked If the recent labor trubles in
the breweries We're the cause of the
rupture between the trust and the
brewery Mr.. Hoffman said his concern
had never had any labor troubles, as
they always favored arbitration with
their employees or compromise on the
best possible terms for both sides.
The threat was made if we do not do
as we We're asked a war would be be-
gun on us that would drive US out of
business. We have been here good
many years." he concluded, and 1
| think will be here a good many more"
He did not think the trust would
even attempt to withdraw the union
men in their employ from their plant.

brewery signed the Brewery Workers
