IGNORES DE1AREY's CHARGES.
British War Office Will Voluntarily
Make No Statement.

LONDON, April 9.-The charges made
against the conduct of British troops in
South Africa, attributed to General De-
larey, have not been brought to the notice
of the war Office. and will be ignored I'M
less a question on the subject is asked in
the house of commons. Even in this event
it is not probable that any action will be
taken unless a responsible authority for
mulates charges in a more definite and
direct form. 1t Is pointed out that if Cen
eral Delarey had wished to make such al
legations he had ample opportunity to com-
municate them to Lord Kitchener. who.
1t is believed at the war office, would have
notified the home government of the fact,
which he has not done.
The war office officials ridiculc the idea
that the charges contain an jota CT truth
and are inclined to assign their origin to
purely continental sources. The allegations
have certainly not created a ripple of in
terest in war Office circles. and even the
pro-Boer press, members of the house of
commons and others appear to attach small
Importance to the matter. General De-
larey's courteous treatment of General Me-
thuen, it is asserted, makes 1t difficult to
believe that the Boer commandant was
personally responsible for the charges.
which include persecution of Delar-y's
own family.
LONDON, April 9.-Telegrams received
here from Amsterdam furnish evidence of

change, but nothing had reached official
quarters in London to justify such an octi-
mistic view of the situation.

COL. cRowDER INVESTIGATING.
He Opens Correspondence With
British Purchasing Agents.
With

CHICAGO. April 9.-The Tribune's New
Orleans correspondent says there has been
an exchange of notes between Colonel E..
H. Crowder, assigned to investigate
charges made by Boer representatives that
England is violating the neutrality laws,
and Captain Fenner, ranking member of
the squad of English army officers direct
ing the shipment of horses and mules to
South Africa.
AS the result the two will meet today
and Colonel Crowder will state the object
of his visit here, the correspondent con-
tinues. If the British authorities offer to
make full statement of their methods, then
the way will be paved toward an early
official ascertainment of actual conditions.
General Samuel Pearson. the Boer rep
resentative, is expected to arrive from
Washington next Saturday. He, too, will
be called on for proof of his charges.
Colonel Crowder refuses absolutely to dis
cuss his mission. 1t is understood, how
ever, that his orders from Adjutant General
Corbin leave him full sway to the meth
DDS to be pursued in gathering facts and
fulfilling the scope of the inquiry.

Majority Report Of the Landsthing
Made Public

COPENHAGEN. April 9.-The landsthing,
or upper house. today concluded its secret
debate on the treaty providing for the sale
OF the Danish West India Islands to the
United States. A report on the subject Will
be presented to parliament in open session
"a an early date.
The iandsthing majority report, which
was signed by thirty five members, recon-
mends the ratification of the treaty after
secret vote by electors who are qualified
to vote for members of the colonial council
of the Danish West Indies. These electors
are holders of property worth 1000 kroner
and upward. The plebiscite heretofore de-
manded involved the entire population, in
Guiding the negroes so the proposals are
much modified.
twenty-five supporters of the govern
ment signed the minority report, which is
in favor of the ratification of the treaty
without a plebiscite. The Independent
group. aggregating eight members, signed
a third report advocating the ratification
of the treaty, with a subsequent plebiscite
of the entire population.
The landSthing will vote on the report ii
open session next week, when the question
will be returned TO the fokething, or lower
house, which has already ratified the treaty
without providing for a plebiscite. A con-
ference committee will then be appointed

report submitted by the eight independents

Recommendations of the Medical So
ciety Of the District.

: MI Gallinger today introduced in the
Senate communication from the Medical
Society OF the District of Columbia giving
information egarding proposed medical In
spection in tie District The report states
that medicalS Inspection of schools dates
back more diam twenty-five years. 1t is
the outcome of municipal efforts to check
the spread Of com plunicable diseases and
is based on the Observation that the gath
ering of children in~schools is one of the
means, If not the principal one. by which
many diseases .arsS disseminated in the
community Ats f4iue is shown by it's
gradual extension tamany of the principal
cities in this Country and in Europe. The
report reviews the methods of inspection
IN other cities. There is medical inspection
for the schools of Boston. New York, Chi
cago Jersey City, Newark. N. j., Paterson,
N: j." Denver, Minneapolis and Buffalo.
The Medical Society recommends the sys-
tenn OF medical inspection of public schools
outlined by the Commissioners. This in
spection should be; under the health officer
and inspectors should be appointed after
competitive examination. Pupils in the
normal school should be taught to recog-
nize the earliest manifestations OF COM
municable disease so that they can intelli-
gibly cooperate with the inspectors.

Mr.. E. s. Hutchinson, who was formerly
one of the largest employing plumbers Of
the District. said he had always been In
favor of organized labor. When asked as
10 whether he thought the demand a rea-
sonable one he said:
Il do not think such demand reason
able nor likely to be acceded to. Even il
by force of circumstances the employers
might be induced to grant the requests of
the men. the public would not be willing to
pay two journeymen plumbers when
helper might be used in place of one of
them"
Mr.. Hutchinson thought II the public were
required to pay greater prices for their
work it would have a tendency to cause
them to patronize non-union shops. He
also said he considered helpers necessary
to niEe-tenths of the work done by plum
bers.
Il am reluctant to speak for publication
about this matter" said MIR. Hutchinson,
for fear of being misunderstood, as l am
In favor of good wages and the betterment
OF workmen in every way. but 1 do not
think a termination of this trouble in the
strikers favor would be benefit fos 1t
would have tendency to throw untaught
apprentices on work they Were not COM
petent to do"

TO SUCCEED MARTINELLI.
Lively Contest at Rome for Papal
Delegate Here.

ROME. April 9.-The contest for the ap-
pointment Of a successor to Cardinal Mar
tinelli as papal delegate in the United
States has apparently narrowed down to
two MISUNDERSTANDING Falconio, the
papal delegate in Canada. and Mgr. Zalin-
sky. formerly papal delegate in the East
Indies and now private secretary to Cardi-
nal Ledochowski any others are men,
toned, but the higher Vatican circles,
where keen interest is evinced as to the
outcome, are satisfied that either Archbish-
op Falconio Mgr. Zalinsky will be ap-
pointed. The chances Of the former are
considered to be the best, as it has been
shown that he has undeniable diplomatic
ability and is man of profound learning.
Mgr. Zalinsky, however, is actively sup
ported by Cardinal Ledochowski, who
Yields great power as project of the propa-
ganda. The decision will be delayed be-
cause the consistory, at which Cardinal
Martinelli will finally gain the red hat, has
been postponed from June to October.
