Tighe, Davis, and other lodge officials
talked the matter over quietly and in
the best spirit all the evening, and It
was late before they adjourned.
After 1t was all over, the knots of
men gathered about the lodge hall and
others at Bay View seemed to believe
that Bay View would follow Joliet In
the end, and that South Chicago would
be next in line, making the tie-up of
the federal company's mills in the
northwest complete.
large union element in Milwaukee
has maintained from the outset that
there was no such thing as avoiding q
participation in the strike by the Bay
Viey lodge, and that the lodge had, in
fact. never hesitated at all, merely de-
string a better understanding Of the
order of Shaffer, which was thought to
be ambiguous. As no vote has ever been
taken at Bay View on the question OF
strike or no strike. these men say 1t is
unfair to classify Bay View men with
South Chicago.
Leading members Of the lodge have
said they did not want to strike unless
they were obliged to do so, and that
they would not until every effort was
made to avert a. walkout, but when the
charge of disloyalty has been made the
members, who have long records of
faithful adherence to UNION principles,
have WINGED and declared that the
charge was premature for the reason
that they had thus far zone nothing
more than. parry for time

Milwaukee, Wis, Aug. l7.-Michael F.
TIghe and w. G. Davis were In confer
ence for several hours last evening with
officers OF the local lodge of the Amalga-
mated Association, at Bay View, settl-
ing the question OF date for meeting
when Tighe is to address the members
on the strike question from the View
point Of President Shaffer and his asso-
clates at Plttsburg. The meeting will
he held at p. m. today.
The meeting today is the regular
meeting OF the lodge and 1t may be de-
cided to defer the matter until Sunday
morning. when there will be larger at
tendance and accordingly a fuller ex-
preston of sentiment.
There is a noticeable change Of senti-
ment among the Bay View men, and
Tighe and the local men who openly ia
vor strike here appear to believe that
no great effort will -be required to COM

duty to walk out and ,nus show It's
loyalty TO the union cause and to pre-

London, Aug. 17.-Proroguing Of par
Lament today is the occasion OF much
doleful comment. The Pail Mall Gasetts
refers to results accomplished, with am
rotations on Decay of Parliamentary
Government" and breakdown Of the
Constitutional System" However this
may be, finance was the only big thing
dealt with during the session. Even the
Times and Standard point out the de-
cline of authority Of the ministers in the
house OF commons. 1t has been used
more frequently than ever before. Bal
four, government leader, has delighted
the cynics by his cool unconcern in
walking into the house at IL o'clock and
breaking of the debate by closure. The
Statist says the government has bungled
in war and finance. 1t defines Sir Mich
eel Hicks-Beach, chancellor of excheQ-
eur, as "a politician absolutely igno-
rant of finance and who knows az little
about money as any other country gem
tleman.'
London, Aug. H-Parliament wound
up it's business today with prorogue.
The black rod Gen. Sir Michael Bid
ulph) summoned the commons at
o'clock to the house of lords to hear the
kings speech. On arrival of the COM
mons the speech was read. 1t says:
Ny Lords and Gentlemen: It is sat
isfactory to be able to close the fret
parliament of my reign with the assur-
ance that the cordiality of the relations
of Great Britain with other powers re-
mains undiminished." The reference to
China is merely congratulatory on the
attainment of an agreement in regard to
indemnity, security for its payment and
punishment of the most guilty offenders
In regard to South Africa, the speech
says: The progress of my forces in
conquest of the two republics by which
my South African colonies have been
invaded has been steady and continu-
ous. But owing to the difficulty and ex-
4 lei 9Th Of the military operations has
] been protracted.'
The speech refers to the signal sue
/ cess of the duke of Cornwall and York's
visit to the colonies as additional proof
of the patriotism, loyalty and devotion
of the people of my dominions over the
sea-" The rest of the speech merely re-
cords the kings satisfaction with the
liberal provisions made for the naval
and military services and the arrange
ments made for the maintenance of the
honor and dignity of the crown espe-.
cially those which affect the state and
comfort of my royal consort.' and au-
thorization to change the royal title. 1t
Iconcludes: II earnestly commend you
! to ,the merciful protection and guid-
lance of ALMIGHTY God"

engaged in tearing down a platform in
what is known as the Free Midway

in self-defense. He had warned Burr
that he could not continue his work
without permit. when the later struck
him with scantling. Diebold was in

He is special policeman employed by

he declared that argument could not in
any manner forward the matter. Sta
tistics will not accomplish what expert
ment alone can do.

He did not wish to dlsmantle all the

less appendages. The remedy, he be-
lieves, is almost within reach.

Philadelphia, Aug. 17.-President
Search of the National Association of
Manufacturers called a meeting of the
executive committee of that organiza-
ton for September 4 for the purpose
of taking up the question of reciproc-
ity
The subject will be considered in all
its phases, after which they will call a
national reciprocity convention. This
action is taken as result of the dis
satisfaction among manufacturers,
who in the export trade congress at
its next session will be asked to give
relief. The manufacturers, says Presi-
dent Search, are in favor of securing
treaties of comercial reciprocity with
other countries, with view to the ex-
tension of Americas trade in foreign

CONSUL EsrEvEs talks.

Discusses the Trouble Between His
Country and Colombia.
New York, Aug. 1.-THE breach in the
relations between Venezuela and Colom-
bia has reached the stage where the
consular diplomatic representatives of
the two countries discuss freely the
cause of the troubles, which are ex-
pected to end in war.
Heretofore Colonel e. Gonzales Es-
teves, consul general of Venezuela, has
maintained the silence of the sphinx He
would give out only such information as
President Castro sent by cable. He has,
however, emerged from his seeming
lethargy and says:
Colombian officials have been busy
dicscrediting the report that the recent
invasion of Venezuelan territory was
made by Colombian army. In answer
to these denials the significant fact
might be pointed cut that Senior Her
ran, Colombia's charge d'ffaires at
Washington. has not yet contradicted
the reports of his governments partici-
patton in the invasion, nor the presence
of General Gonzales Valenclal, the for
mer Colombian ministes Of war, on the
Venezuelan frontier. But there are
more convincing proofs than this mere
ily circumstancial evidence. The Car
acus government has been officially in
formed by the commander of our army
in San Cristobal that among the troops
that invaded Venezuela We're the COL
ombian battalions Sure, Bombona,
Giraldot, Vencedosre, Tenerife, and sew
enteen more, commanded by govern
ment officers, among them Gasparini,
L. nd
My advices also say that the dead,
wounded and captured wore the uni
forms of the Columbian army. Two of
the prisoners wore the insignia of the
"Grenadiers of Cucuta.' The authori-
ties on the frontier have ordered close
Investigation and it Is expected that
it will yield some further telling evil
dence of Colombia's completely in the
two unsuccessful raids on our terri
| tory"
Senior j. R. Caldron, Colombian con-
sui general in Lindon, according to a
cable dispatch. said recently that the
| Venezuelan president was to blame for
everything. and called him liar. Senior
Gonzales Esteves said of this:
II am surprised at the terms employed
by Senior Calderon. Personal attacks
are not generally considered proper
when something like 1900 miles separ-
ates the critic from the object of his
criticisms
Senor Thomas Herran, Colombian
charge d'affaires at Washington, is III
this city, awaiting the arrival cf his
| family from Colombia. He did not ap-
pear at all optimistic today when asked
about the lowering war cloud.
II have no late news from my gov
ernment,'' said Senor Herran. ut does
not seem as tho relations between Ven
ezuela and Colombia are strained. but,
SO far as l know, there has been no
declarations of war. No. cannot make
predictions as to the future. There is
not the least doubt that Venezuela has
| given aid to the rebels in Colombia"
| Then the Colombian charge added sig
nificantly: I'VE have an army of 10000
well-trained soldiers, who have beer
seasoned by year and a nalf of fight
| ing against the revolution. This num-
| Der can quickly be doubled

the British Government.
London. Aug. 1.-THE Indian secre-
tary Lord George Hamilton, in the
house of commons presented the follow:
ing statement for India: He said in spite
of three years of famine and acute de-
preston, the three agricultural staples
tea, indigo and cotton-were able to pre-
sent the most favorable balance sheets
since India came under the crown. The.
relief expenditures for three years to-
tailed s6377,000. The seasons rains.
tho below normal. have been sufficient
for agricultural purposes. The crop out
look was fair, and there was a prospect
of a material reduction in the relief ex-
penditures. The results of the gold
standard policy had more than realized
the governments expectations. Lord
George concluded with praising the ad-
ministration of Lord Curzon of Kedle-
ston as governor general of India.
