Action May Be Postponed.

II the consideration of the treaty is
not concluded Monday it's final dispo-
sition probably will be postponed for
several days, as Senator Lodge has
agreed to sidetrack the Philippine
bill only for one day. With reference
to the Philippine bill it is altogether
probable that vote will be reached
during the latter part of the week.
The Democrats have been in confer.
ence on the subject, and have reached
the conclusion that they would be
able to conclude their presentation of
their opposition to the bill in a few
more speeches. An agreement fixing
a time to vote is likely to be reached
Tuesday, and the indications now are
that next Friday or next Saturday
will be named as the day for deciding
the fate of the bill.
There are few set speeches to be
delivered on the bill, but most of the
speeches toward the close of the de-
bate will be brief.
BY unanimous consent the census
bill will be disposed of after the Dan
ish treaty, and before the debate on
the Philippine bill is taken. 1t is ex.
pected that vote viii be reached on
the census bill after very little more
debate.

RUMORED OFFER TO B0ERS.
No Panishment if Their Leaders will
Surrender.

LONDON, March 24.-The Associated
Press has good reason to believe that Lord
Kitchener, In his interview with Mr.
Schalkhurger, agreed to withdraw the
banishment proclamation issued in Sep
tember if General De Wet and the other
Boer leaders surrendered.
In the House of Commons today, the
War Secretary, Mr.. Brodrick, announced
that, fortnight ago, Mr.. Schalkburger
intimated TO Lord Kitchener his desire to
be granted a safe conduct through the
British lines and back, in order to see Mr..
Steyn with reference to the possibility of
peace proposals.. Lord Kitchener, With
the consent Of The government, lad acced-
ed to the request.
The announcement Of the War Secretary
was received with cheers.
LONDON, Mar. 24.-There Is little dis
position IN London 10 regard the news of
the Boer governments visit to Pretoria
any too hopefully. Official circles express
the doubts, held throughout, Of the ability
of the acting President, Schalkburger, and
the other civilian leaders of the Boers to
induce such men as Generals De Wet and
Delqrey to surrender Possibly, they think
the representatives Of the Transyaa gov
eminent are desirous Of suing for peace,
but there is nothing to show that they
have any authority to impose submission
on the commanders in the field. The
most hopeful sign they see is the announce
ment that Lord Kitchener permitted Mr.
Schalkburger and his companions to pro-
ceed to the Orange River Colony, the con-
tention being that unless the British COM
mander.in Chief in South Africa, who is
on the spot and therefore most thoroughly
conversant with the situation, recognized
the responsibility Of fruitful results. and
believed in the good faith of the Trans
vaalers, he would not have permitted
Mr.. Schalkburger and his companions tC
proceed to the Orange River Colony, the
contention being that unless the British
communicative chief in South Africa, who
is on the spot and therefore most thorough
". conveisant with the situation, recog
nized the responsibility Of fruitful results
and believed in the good faith of the
Transvaaers, he would not have permitted
the visitors TO continue their pilgrimage
to the headquarters of their Orange Rive'
colonies.

A FURTHER PLEA
In Behalf of the Inmates Who Are Found
in the County Asylum For
the Poor.

A few months ago the Rev. j. N. Har.
man brought to the notice Of the readers
Of our town papers the necessity Of there
being house of worship erected, in con-
venlent place, where the poor in the
above asylum for this county may have
at least some church privileges, but as we
have neither heard or seen anything to
show that Bro. Harman's plea has been
practically noticed, we wish to add, in ad'
dition to the former plea, that, whereas
the supervisors, in behalf of this county,
have erected cabins, though small, for the
housing of this community of people, and
the respected superintendent provides for
their wants in part from the productions
of the excellent farm on which the asylum
is located, yet it is a fact, that for months
at time these unfortunates are starving
and hungry for that bread, which if we
eat we shall live forever, and which comes
only to us through the proclamation OF
the gospel of Jesus Christ. The majority
of the citizens of this county have, or
may secure vehicles, whereby they may
reach and worship in the church Of their
choice; but here is a community of people
who are supposed not to own a horse or
a vehicle of any kind save a wheelbarow
or hand sled, and are not within two and
half miles Of any church. They are
human, like ourselves. They are einners,
like ourselves; but are they sinners above
all men and women because they suffer
such things? 81 tell you, nay, but sx-
cept we repent, &C." In the years gone
by this writer has many times visited these
cabins, and in them he has seen the deaf,
the dumb, the blind, the manned, the
halt, the cripple, the lunatic, as well as
the unfortunate, and from one OF these
cabins he has buried the widow of min
ister of the gospel in a paupers grave
and others he has seen carried to thelf
last resting place who had seen brighter
and more prosperous days, but whose his
tory it would not be prudent to divulge
The cost of the erection of a small cffape
for the use of these people would only ado
about one ceut to the Tax ticket of eacE
tax. payer in the county. q. b.

In tue "Commoaer" last week Mr.

The question is, what makes man pol

that the man who Wirs is something in

LABOR AND CAPITAL.
A Movement 10 Place Organized Labor
and Organized Capital on the
Same Plane.

Mr.. j. n. Iiarman, who represents this,
the third, Senatorial district in the
State Senate, is now at home. We asked
him something about the resolution he
recently introduced in the Senae looking
to the creation of some civil tribunal
which will have authority to settle dis
putes between organized capital and Or
ganized labor, so as to prevent strikes.
Mr.. Harman reminded III of the fact
that when he spoke at Clintwood in the
campaign last fall, he pledged himself, if
elected, to take some step looking to the
elevation of organized labor to the same
plane before the law ae organized capital.
In pursuance of this campaign promise
Mr.. Harman, about two weeks ago, intro
duced resolution in the State Senate,
Which resolution We reviewed recently in
the editorial columns of the "Repubi'
can"
Though Mr.. Harman was originator Of
the movement, he consented to the intro
duction of substitute resolution by Mr..
McIlwaine, of Petersburg, for the appoint
ment of committee to investigate the
subject and report bill or otherwise TO
the next General Assembly of Virginia.
That committee was appointed and con
sists of Messrs. McIlwaine, Wickham and
Mr.. Harman. Mr.. Harman should have
been the chairman.
Mr.. Harman desires the leaders of or
ganized labor and the representatives Of
corporations to furnish him such informa-
ton as they may desire and deem peril
nent to enable him to begin the work
soon, as it is his purpose to frame a bill
to lay before the committee. 1t is deli
cate and difficult problem to deal with
and he desires to approach and treat 1t
in a spirit of fairness to all parties. He
believes the problem can and ought to
be solved to the extent, at least, that
strikes may be made less frequent, if not
entirely prevented.
1t is most worthy undertaking, and
we agree with Mr.. darman in the san
guine belief that remedy can be found
and lodged in the hands of a civil tribunal.
So believing, we trust he may receive from
those interested, both labor and capital,
the generous support SO worthy an under
taking merits.

CAPTAIN Arthur I. Mark, of the Marine

iustifable. Captain David d. Porter, of
the Marine Corps, testified that he was
present when General Smith gave Major
Waller his orders, which Major Waller
never exceeded. At the outset Major
Waller warned bis command that they
were oppose by treacherous, bra We and

be punished with death, and closed. with
an appeal TO the command to remember
the fate of their old China comrades OF

skull badly fractured and, removed some
three or four inches square of the skull
bone that was found crushed and pressing
on the brain. The patient had been made
unconscious by the blow and never re
gained consciousness.

NEGROES IN LIBERIA.

o. L. w. Smith. former Minister to
Liberia, passed through Philadelphia
last week on the way home to Wilson,
N. He has been succeeded by another
Minister of President Roosevelt's APP
pointing Mr.. Smith, who is q colored
man, said, In Liberia there are I'M
limited openings for trade, but the
Germans are gobbling everything up.
1t is a pity that the Americans do not
step in and get some of this valuable
trade. The rivers are full of gold, and
the abundance of fine nuts and fruits
is almost incredible. You will remem-
Der that five hundred negroes from
Savannah emigrated to Liberia some
years ago. Well, they are doing well.
Those of them who have trades-the
masons, the bricklayers, the carpenters
are doing particularly well. "
