mates" she explained
She admitted that she had sued and
recovered Judgment against a Cuban
named Caesar L. Pinto for borrowed
money but she said she was engaged TO
him. She started TO tell Mr.. Crocker all
about him one day but the gray-bearded
lover stopped her saying:
PERFECT LOVE VERSUS FEAR.
II do not wish to know OF ANYTHING
that has happened In the past. Perfect

Miss Stedeker told the referee about
the ebony handled umbrella which Mr..

said. ''The cover was OF silk and Il was

PARTIES SHOULD BE
OF BOTH COLORS
South Carolina Republican Reads a
Little Lecture on the Negro
in Politics.

CHARLESTON, S. c., Oct. 16.-In
view of the action of the Republican
party in Alabama and North Carolina
on the negro question and the holding
of Republican conventions this week in
the congressional districts in this
state, Capt John G. :Capers, United
States district attorney and Republic
an national committeeman for South
Carolina, was asked today what was
the position of the Republican party
in this state on the negro question. He
said:
"The organization and operation of
political parties upon purely racial
classification is, to my mind, wholly
inconsistent with the spirit of our gov
eminent; requiring, ;as%our government
does, well-defined duties and respon-
sibilities from all of it's citizens. In the
exercise of citizenship, when the negro
asserts a right and demonstrates that
it rests upon intelligence and char
acter rather than upon race prejudice,
or fancied and unearned distinction,
his rights should be respected as an
American citizen, regardless of his
color.
Tin politics the negroes trouble in
the South comes in alarge measure
from the advice he receives from his
Northern ,colored brother, who ruins
the effect of a protest against q white
mans party in the South by a prae-
tical demand for a black mans party
There is no good reason why the Re
publican party in the South should be
all white, and there is -every reason
why it should not be all black.

LIQUOR DEALERS
AGAINST DRUNKENNESS
Association of Retailers Favors the Army
Canteen, Though 1t Is Costly to
Some Members.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 16.-The
National Association Of Retail Liquor
Dealers today adopted resolutions express
ing opposition to the prohibition of the
use of beers, light wines and liquors
aboard government ships at marine sta
lions and navy yards and declaring it to
be the sense of the association, that,
while it is uncompromisingly hostile to
the theory of making men either virtuous
or temperate by legislation, it is not
opposed to temperance or to proper means
to prevent the immoderate use of intoX
icating liquors.
I'VE recognize the weakness of hui
man nature the resolution states, land
are as ready as the TeadieSt to lend our
influence and efforts to the reform of
the drunkard and the curtailment of the
evil resulting from excessive Indulgence"
A resolution was adopted declaring in
favor of the army canteen on the ground
that it would be in the interest Of the
is claimed it would be inimical financially
to number of the dealers outside the
army posts who are members of the or
ganization.
The convention adjourned to meet next
lOctober in Pittsburg. The following Off
GERS were elected for the ensuing year:
President, E. L. Jordan, Washington;

large sums Of money were contributed,
fully sufficient to relieve the distress
and re-establish the industries of the
colonies; and, whereas, under the pre-
tense Of there being no land available or
obtainable at reasonable rates, a large
number of sufferers, after the lapse Of
five months, have not been provided with
homes or lands and the governor of tlG
Windward islands insists that they shall
emigrate to Jamaica under the following
threat contained in published min4te
Sept. "a, you should make them clearly
understand that if they refuse this -oppor-.
tunity no more relief will be given them;
and, whereas, 1t is a matter of public
notoriety that while many of these peo-
pie have been starving, large quantities
Of the supplies contributed by the Amer
gradually shipped from the colonies, and
other supplies lie rotting in storerooms;
and, whereas, Notwithstanding the gov

are suitable lands available upon which

Violation of Rights and Liberties.
t'Be it therefore,
Resolved, That this meeting protest
against the compulsory emigration
scheme contained in the governors min
ute to the administrator a monStrouS
violation of the rights and liberties of
these loyal subjects of King Edward and
as an inequitable attempt to deprive
them of their rightful share in help from
the relief fund, thereby frustrating the
intentions of the generous contributors
of this fund. This meeting fatty con-
tradicts the governors statement in the
minute above referred to, namely, that
the government cannot find homes for
these people. The government is hold

sum of money, sufficient not only to &C

in restoring the industries Of the col

for the colonies (Joseph Chamberlain9 to
intervene between these people and the
obstinate, cruel and arbitrary policy Of
the governor of the islands, and to direct
that the sufferers be located In their own
colony and homes without further delay"
The meeting further appealed to the
colonial secretary to relieve Sir Robert
Llewellyn of the government of this
colony, to send commissioner to re-
place A. M. Ashmore, government Sec
rotary at Bemerara, and to appoint a
competent administrator to deal di-
rect with the imperial colonial office.

Hero O,DonneII Comes In.

John ODonneN stood UP and refused
to give way to the speaker. His fellow
Nationalist shouted encouragement
and cheered vigorously. The speaker
repeatedly warned Mr.. O'Donnell that
he was out Of order, and an exciting
scene followed. Mr.. Ba1four moved the
suspension of Mr.. O'Donnell, and the
latter crossed the floor, stood in front
of the premier, shouted defiance and
shook his fist in Mr.. Balfour's face.
The house suspended Mr.. O'Donnell by
a vote of S41 to 81.
Mr.. Balfour smiled quietly as the
Irish members shouted and gesticu-
lated, and other members of the cabi-
net, fearing that Mr.. O'DonneH would
assault the premier, moved toward
him, but Mr., O'Donnell, having con-
cluded what he had to say, returned to
his seat and then left the house.
Previous to the action Of the house
in suspending Mr.. O'Donnell, the
speaker made the usual formal request
that the offending member withdraw,
Call the police!" Muster the horse
guard!" etc.
The debate was then closed by a
vote of 263 to 148.
Mr.. Wyndham again came in for
some lively kissing as he returned
from the division lobby.
Mr.. Balfours motion was then car
ried by a vote of 262 to 145, and the
house went into committee on the edu-
cation bill.
Mr.. O'Donnell's suspension will
probably be for only a week, as the
new rules, increasing the penalties for
disorderly behavior, have not yet been
passed.
1t is understood that the ministers
and government whips are very much
satisfied with the prompt muster and
attitude of their party and that they

PERSONNEL OF THE COMMISSION
Every Member Is Regarded just the
One for the Place.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 16.-It
is understood that Bishop Spalding, of
Peoria, was the presidents personal
choice for a place on the strike COM
mission and his selection was particu-
lar1y pleasing to Mr.. Mitchell, as he
knows the bishop intimately and has
the utmost confidence in his ability
and fair mindedness. The appoint
1nent Of e. E. CLARK was undoubtedly
at the suggestion of Mr.. Mitchell him
self. MIR. Clark, whose home is in Ce-
jdar Rapids, Iowa, is the grand Chief
conductor of the railway conductors,
and has the reputation of being man
Of unquestioned ability and integrity.
Six years ago Mr.. Clark served as one
of the arbitrators in a controversy De-
tween the Grand Trunk railway and
some of it's employees and is SAID TO
have acquitted himself in way most
satisfa Glory to all interests concern
ed. Mr. Clark is chairman of the Rail
way EMPLOYEES federation. The ap-
pointment of Carroll D. Wright as re-
corder of the commission IS SAID TO De
equally satisfactory, and in TACT the
statement is made on high authority
that, as constituted, the personnel OF
the commission is eTninently sat1sfac-
tory both to the operators andfhe Ia
Dor leaders.
Thomas II. Watkins, whose appoint
1nent was due to his knowledge of the
coal mining business, was formerly of
the firm Of Simpson & Watkins. Mr..
Watkins was born in West Pittston,
forty-five years ago, but has lived IN
Scranton twenty years. -Four years
ago Sinpson-& Watkins sold their coal
interests. Since then Mr.. Watkins has
not been actively connected with the
anthracite business. He is a million
aire and is largely interested in the
Mexican Central and Alamo Gordo &
Northern Railroad companies. He also
has extensive lumber interests in the
South and mining interests in the
West. His business relations are still
connected with William Simpson, who
lisa director of the Mexican Central
railroad.
The work of the commission will be
exhaustive, and will take considera-
Bile time. It is the presidents desire
that the inquiry be very thorough and
that the commission perform the Ia
bors set before it SO completely as to
secure not only a final adjustment Of
the present troubles, but also to furnish
q basis upon which similar great labor
troubles may be averted in the fu-
ture. It's first step will be to organize
and select a chairman to preside over
it's deliberations. Who this will be
is. of course, not settled, but, depends
on the individual members of the body.
Gen. Wilson, formerly chief OF the en-
gineer corps, however, heads the list
of members, and may be chosen as
chairman.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. 10
Chowfa Maha Vapiravudh, crown
prince of Siam, arrived here today as
the guest of William Potter, former
minister to Italy. This evening the
crown prince and his brother held an
informal reception for representatives
Of Philadelphia newspapers.
The crown prince said he wished the
American newspapers would use larg-

other respects he thinks he likes the
American newspapers best. But he
FASTENED to qualify the remark.

found that out; but, on the whole, I
like the American newspapers best,
Just as I like the American people
best They are SO big-hearted and
easy to get acquainted with"
Replying to question as to whether
the king of Siam, as has been report
ed, expected to visit the United
States in the near future, the crown
prince replied:
81 think not. Owing to the cares of
state, it would be very difficult for him
to get so far away. When, he made his
trip to Europe in 1891 he wanted to
visit America, but was unable to do

600 of the striking miners have left
the region or gone into other employ
ment, and will never return to the
mines, and the further fact that the
'collieries will be operated to their full

union and non-union men because of
the one crowding out the other. 1t

Italians SeIfishIy Glad.

ROME, Oct. 16.-The news of the
apparent end of the coal strike in the
United States was received here with
satisfaction, as the Italian consumers
are trusting that the renewal Of the
competition between British and
American coal will result in lower
prices. No American coal was i'm
ported into this country until 1898,
when twenty tons were sent to Genoa
as samples. In 1891 the importation
of American coal amounted to $4,000
