DON'T MIND ANGLO -MANlAcS.

John Hammond Gives British Some
Good Advice-Give Beers a Fair
Deal and DO Not Repeat Americas
Mistakes.
London, April 22.-''I must advise you
not to pay too much attention to the
extravagant expressions of friendship
of certain well meaning. but discred-
maniacs.' These words were the key
note of a speech made by John Ham
mond, the American egineer, tonight
at a dinner given in honor of his re-
turn to England.
Mr.. Hammond explained to his au-
dience the depth of and reason for
American sympathy with the Beers.
and he impressed his hearers with
Great Britains total lack of effort to
counterfeit the pro- Boer sentiment in
the United States. With equal frank
ness Mr.. Hammond urged that Great
Britain be generous in her demands.
Your American friends" he de-
c!ared, most earnestly hope that in
arranging terms of peace wise liberal
ity will be shown toward the Beers"
Celebrating upon his argument N
favor of securing generous peace terms
in South Africa, Mr. Hammond un-
favorably compared Mr.. Kruger's atti-
tude with Gen. Lees Christian and
patriotic action" But he warned his
hearers to learn a lesson from another
chapter Of the American Civil war by
avoiding the mistake of the American
statesman who endeavored to govern
the Southern States by Northern office
holders, as a result of which many
years elapsed before the harm done by
the, carpet Dagger was repaired.

A CHICAGO SENSATION.

Many Lawyers to BE Arrested.

Several Arrests Made for ConspirR-
cy i'm Railroad Litigation ana
Many Lawyers to BE Arrested.
Chicago, April 22.-Mystery y sur
rounds the arrest of four men, made
shortly after midnight. on the charge
of Conspiracy to do an unlawful act
In connection with the justice court
fight being made by the city of Chr
cago, against the Union and Consol-
dated Traction companies in Justice
George Woods court. Some time ago
a circuit court decision ruled that these
companies should give transfers to
lines running into the suburb of Aus
tin for one fare. The citizens of Aus
tin and the city government tried to
compel the companies to grant
the transfers and numerous damage
suits were brought against them on re-
fusals. These damage suits were
brought to Justice Woods court and so
far have been lost. The sensational
arrests of to-day following sharply upon
! the victories of the companies have led
to grave charges.
The men arrested are:
William J. Gallagher, a promoter;
Walter G. Jones. constable in Justice
Woods court; John O'Donnell, brother
of F. H. O'Donnell, attorneys for the
traction companies in the recent dam
age suits; Herbert Rothery, venire-
man, called. examined and excused by
the city prosecutor; Louis +. Sosthein,
clerk in Justice Woods court, was ar
rested later also, charged with con-
spiracy.
At the office of the states attorney
it was understood that the drag net
was being prepared for a number of
Chicago lawyers. Indictments, it is
said. will be applied for at the hands
of the grand jury--the specific charge
being jury bribing.

vestigate the situation thoroughly, to
take into consideration any and all ar
guments presented by all sides, to look
to the matter of amounts of collected,
interest paid, how the funds were dis
oursed and to report back to a meeting
10 be held tomorrow night.
On motion of Col. ]. f. Dart, the
question of participation in the exer-
cises in accordance, with, the request OF
the Ladies' Memorial Association was
left open to be considered at the meet
ing tomorrow night
In this connection, it may be of i'm
terest to say that the monument ques-
ton has aroused considerable interest
in Brunswick. 1t has been charged by
certain people that the fund raised for
this cause has been tempered with by
people who were not authorized to act
for the contributors. 1t has also been
claimed that certain parties were in
custody of these funds and, after many
years, absolutely refused to pay even
the legal interest thereon. On the
other hand, 1t is alleged that parties
now protesting against the situation
were fully advised as to certain meet
ings of the monumental committee and
refused TO attend.
The situation, to say the least of it.
is deplorable If the veterans are at
fault, then, as a logical conclusion, the
Ladies' Memorial Association is contra.
The veterans win meet again We'd
nesday night and our. citizens feel as
sured that the subject will receive the
kindest and most thoroughly honest
consideration of those gentlemen, who,
in past, have never been recreant to
duty.
1t has been limited that sensational
developments will be recorded at the
meeting on this proposition. 1t is
hard to predict what course the vet
Grams will pursue, but, in any event,
the citizens believe that they will come
very near to doing what, in their own
opinion, appears to be right.
In the meantime the Ladies' Memoir
iai Association is arranging very APP
propriate programme for the unwilling
exercises in Hanover park Saturday

Committee 10 InvestiGate-If the
Veterans Charges Are Sustained

would be Placed in an Unpleasant
Position.
Brunswick, Ga, April Every I'M
pleasant circumstances, indeed, exist
in Brunswick at present, and the final
outcome of the trouble will be watched
with interest by our people generally.
In pursuance to a. call from Com
mander Dart, Camp Jackson, Glynn
county, Confederate veterans, met in
the armory of the Brunswick Rifemen
last night. 1t seems to have been pref
ty well circulated among the veterans
that unusual events would occur, in
consequence of which the armory was
taxed to entertain the grim visaged
veterans who were present.
The business of the meeting was
very promptly transacted by the call
of resolution introduced by Capt. u.
Dart at a previous meeting of the vet
Grams to the effect that at the next
meeting the commander appoint a
committee of six to investigate cer-
tain conditions and also ways and
means by which certain funds were
raised in Brunswick and Glynn county
for the purchase of monument to
commemorate the deeds of those who
are asleep in Oak Grove Cemetery.
This proposition occasioned consid-
cradle argument in which several vet
Grams disagreed as to the situation.
The general sentiment expressed by
those present, however, was to the eff
feet that the veterans should not par
ticipate in the unwilling ceremonies on
Memorial Day, but their duties would
be complete when they repaired to Oak
Grove Cemetery and placed upon the
graves of their departed comrades a.
slight forget me-n not" Z
However, motion prevailed to the
effect that the chair appoint a COM
nittee of six to look into the purchase
of the monument, and. at the same
time, Investigate the case thoroughly
as TO whether or not frauds exist in
connection with the subject. The chair
appointed the following gentlemen on
the committee: II. Cassils, w. J. Way.

to representative of the Associated
Press to-day his recent audience with
the Pope. Mr.. Cochran said:
1t was five years Since l had seen
His Holiness and / rather dreaded this
visit lest | might see some of the cruel
inroads of age. To my astonishment,
found the Pope to be stronger, mentally
and physically, than when l last saw
him. His memory, the sweetness of his
voice and the brightness of those won
derful eyes seem to have been accen-
tuated rather than diminished by the
intervening five years.
His Holiness expressed, as he al
ways does, the great friendliness for
Amreica and exhibited a keen knowi-
edge OF American affairs. Nothing re-
lating to the Philippine Islands or to
politics was mentioned; our eonversa-
ton was almost exclusively upon. &C.
clesiastical matters. He expressed deep
thankfulness to the hand which con-
tinued to sustain him in fulfilling his
great duties and how, as the years
passed, his realization of responsibility
increased. Yet. he added, I feel very
deeply that all the DEGREES | may
make are as equally binding upon my
self as upon the humblest member Of

FLOWER HATS.

AS the summer season advances
flower hats gain in favor. These are
carried out in numberless ways, one
of the prettiest of which is to have. a
crown of green leaves finished with a
brim of eam-pink roses. The greater
part of the hat is in the crown, which
spreads well over the face, the border
of roses serving merely as a finish. A
soft rosette of pale blue ribbon ending
in streamers which fall over the hair
at the back is used as an effective fin-
ish.
All red hats are both pretty and
popular. They are never worn to bet
ter advantage than by brunettes, and
when composed of geraniums or silk
peoples constitute one of the smartest
bits of headgear of the year.
