THE IMPERIAL EXPLAINS.
Amends It's Bad Break and Repu-
dates Boycott.

Amends Its Bad Break and Repu-
dates Boycott.
London, March 22.-Ogden's Limited)
received yesterday an almost count
less number of replies to their circular,
promising them support.
In the meantime, the Imperial Com
pany appears to realize that it has
made a false move, and last night it
made an explanatory manifesto, which,
after pointing to what happened in
Canada, as an illustration of the poll
icy of the American company, repudi-
ates any desire to boycott and pro-
ceeds to promise that as long as a
customer does not display in his shop
window the goods of Ogdens Nimited)
or any other American concern, 1--WE
will not exercise our power of prohibit
ton without first giving three months
notice, and the customer shall, in that
event, have the option of withdraw
ing from the agreement"
The Imperial Company extends the
time limit for the acceptance of their
plan to April 2, and explains it does
not desire to interfere with the sale
of other British tobaccos. Briefly the
manifesto means that American to-
baccos may be sold, but not pushed.
Further meetings will be held to day
to consider the revised proposals of the
Imperial Company.

WILL RETIRE MILES
PRESIDENT HAS EXPRESSED HIM.
SELF TO THIS EFFECT.
TIRED OF FRICTION IN ARMY
THE MATTER DISCUSSED AT CABT-
NET MEETING.

pxesident Will Read Gen. Miles
Testimony and Consult With Mem
hers of Military Committee Before
Taking ActfOn-Gen. Miles State
ment in Committee Held to Be
PrivtIeGed-He Will BE Permitted
IN Revise His Testimony and a
Creat Deal That Was Said by Hin,
Will Not Appear in the Record.
washington, March 21-At the cabi-
net meeting to-day the publications
relating to the statements made by
Cen. Miles before the Senate commit
tee yesterday were brought up, but
consideration of them was postponed
until all the facts in the matter be-
come known. Whatever intentions the
President had with respect to the
treatment to be accorded Gen. Miles,
his future action will be somewhat in
nuenced by the fact that Gen. Miles
statement before the Senate Commit
tee has been represented to him as
being privileged. The President pro-
poses to read the testimony given at
ferent members of the Committee on
Military Affairs before finally an
nouncing what he proposes to do.
1t is significant that long after the
cabinet meeting adjourned Secretary
Root and the Attorney General were
Closeted with the President. The Presi-
dent is known to have stated that he
was tired of the friction in the army
and whether it is decided that Gen.
Miles statement was privileged or not,
he would at no distant day take action
looking to his retirement
In discussing the matter to-day with
his callers, among whom were senators
and representatives, the President took
the position that the lieutenant gem
eral of the army should entertain to-
ward his superiors the same respect
that he would expect and demand from
his subordinates.
The printed testimony of Gen. Miles
has not yet been made public, and it
Is understood that it will be submitted
to him for approval 1t is understood
that a great deal of what the GEN
eral said will not appear in the record
Members of the committee say the re-
port published yesterday afternoon was
correct IN subs tanee In every particu-
lar At the same time these senator's
do not agree that Gen. Miles can be
punished for his utterances before the
committee, whether they appear in the
record or not. OF course the commit
Zee could take no action to prevent the
retirement of Gen. Miles. That, under
the law, is purely an executive act and
needs no confirmation or approval of
the Senate.

ANTl-AMERICAN CAMPAIGN.

w. T. Stead's Son Tells of Bad Re-
suits to Hawaii From Annexation.
London, March 22.-The Saturday Re-
view, continuing it's anti-American
campaign, to-day published a long
communication from Alfred Stead, son
of William T. Stead, the editor, pictur-
ing the alleged deplorable condition of
Hawaii as a result of annexation to the
United States.
MIR. Stead says that unvarying la
ment IS heard from every class, wheth-
er planter, merchant or member of the
government, to the effect that Hawaii
has reaped no good from annexation.
The foremost advocates of annexation
in 1928 are now the most bitter and out
spoken in bewailing it's accomplish
ment. Mr. Stead says that the applica-
ton Of the American coastwise navi-
cation laws has deprived the islands of
the use of 81, 1863 tons of shipping an
nually, thus Gripping trade and raising
freight rates.
The wealthy inhabitants of the ISL
ands, continues Mr.. Stead, when they
are in a hurry to reach the Pacific
coast, are frequently forced to take
passa ge on a foreign vessel and pay n
fine of $500 in addition to their fare.
The frequent calls of transports are
greatly disliked, since they almost al
ways bring smallpox or some other
contagion requiring quarantine, says
the writer and the exclusion of the
Chinese is running the labor market.
The tariff concessions to Cuba
threaten to kill the sugar industry.
America has twice prevented Hawaii
from obtaining cable. Hawaii is thus
cut off from newspaper publicity, which
is essential to securing speedy reforms.

wants to the British Trust-The
British Combine Bitterly De-
nOunced by the LOndOners, who
Declare That 1t Has '.Out-Ameri-
canized the Americans"
London. March 21.-At a meeting of
the Edinburgh Association of Retail
Tobacconists to-day a resolution was
adopted unanimously declining to sign
the Imperial Tobacco Company's agree
ment not to sell American goods Tor d
term of years, but expressing willing
ness, # the minimum price is raised SO
as to allow a fair profit to dealers, to
do what is possible, bonus or no bonus,
for the sake of British goods The
chairman declared that no one outside
of luratic asylum would sign such
an agreement, which would make them
the servants, of the Imperial Tobacco
Company. While the Americans Of
were placed upon the dealers.
The Belfast tobacco dealers, at a
meeting to-day, decided to accept the
American proposition.
The feeling among the London tobac-
conists, exemplified at a big meeting
held this afternoon to consider the rival
bonus schemes, was one of bitter oppo-
sition to the boycotting clause of the
agreement proposed by the Imperial
Tobacco Company, which was described
as arbitrary and unjust.
Ultimately the London tobacconists,
after a long discussion, passed a reso-
luton unanimously and absolutely re-
fuslng to sign the Imperial Tobacco
Company's agreement as being "un-
just and unfair to the dealers and un-
English
The retailers were not content with
rejecting the proposed boycott of Amer
lean tobacco, but went a step further,
passing a resolution to support any
manufacturers willing to guarantee, on
proprietary articles, a minimum profit
to the retailer, of 20 per cent. on to-
bacco to rs per cent. on cigarettes. The
speakers bitterly denounced the British
combine, declared the latter had. out
Aruericanized the Americans and said
that it's recent action would only result
in forcing the remaining independent
tobacco concerns in England into the
arms of the Americans.
The resolutions were adopted with
much cheering, mingled with groans
for the Imperial concern.

WlLC0X'S FATE IS WITH JURY.
Judge Jones Makes "A Very Fair and
Equitable Charge.

Elizabeth City, N. c., March 21.-
There was not very large attendance
to-day at the trial of young Wilcox for
the murder of Miss Nellie Cropsey. The
fact that all the evidence, 200 typewrit-
ten pages, would be read, kept the pub
lie away. Early in the morning the
Court House was we'll filled, but later
in the day most of the seats were
empty.
In charging the jury before the read
ing of the evidence to them began,
Judge Jones said:
Gentlemen, your problem in this
case is to find the facts You have
heard the testimony of witnesses and
the argument of counsel. Now the case
is with you. 1t must be tried on the
evidence. II you should let any inn
preston you may have had or public
sentiment or anything, influence your
verdict you do violence to your oaths.
Your verdict must be strictly according
to the evidence. l shall give you few
rules of law that shall govern your ac-
tionS. You start out assuming that the
prisoner is innocent. If the state has
not satisfied you beyond reasonable
doubt that the girl was killed by the
defendant, then you must bring in
verdict of not guilty. The evidence
must be not only conclusively consist
ent with the prisoners guilt, but in
consistent with his innocence. You are
sworn to try the case by the evidence,
and that alone. Try the case as men.
Rise above public opinion. 1 have no
opinion in the case. 1t is for you to
decide"
The evidence was them read over to
the jury and at 4:30 o'clock they re-
tired. A verdict is not expected to-
night.
No Verdict at Midnight.
Elizabeth City, N. c., March 21.-
At midnight the city was quiet and
the jury had not yet returned YER
dict. The crowds were dispensing and
there will probably be no trouble to-
night.

Subject BE Indefinitely Postponed.
Mudd of Maryland the Only RE
publican to Vote With the Demo-
Gratis.
Washington, March 21.-The House
Committee on Naval Affairs, by a vote
of I to to-day, adopted a resolution
concurring in the conclusions of Presi-
dent Roosevelt as to terminating the
agitation of the Schley controversy,
and indefinitely postponing all bills and
resolutions on the subject. The re-
port of the subcommittee as adopted,
gives all the various resolutions which
have been introduced, and says:
Your subcommittee to whom the
several bills and resolutions introduced
in the House in relation to Rear Ad-
miral Winfield Scott Schley, has had
the same under consideration, and pre-
sents the following report thereon:
"The unfortunate controversy in
connection with the Santiago campaign
has attracted wide public attention and
has been the subject of four official
inquiries and Investigations, viz; by
President Mckinley by the United
States Court of Claims, by the naval
court of inquiry asked for by Admiral
Schley, and by President Roosevelt on
appeal from the finding of the naval
court of inquiry.
What the President Said.
President Roosevelt concluded his
finding in the following words:
In concluding their report the
members of the court of inquiry, Ad-
mirals Dewey. Benham and Ramsay,
united in stating that they recon-
mended that no further action be had
in the matter, With this recommends
ton l most heartily concur. There is
nc excuse whatever from either side
for any further agitation of this UNI
happy controversy. To keep it alive
would merely DO damage to the navy
and to the country
Your subcommittee, having in view
the interest of the American navy
and of all concerned, fully concurs in
the conclusions expressed in the words
of President Roosevelt above quoted
I'VE, therefore,, recommend that FUR
Their consideration of said bills and res
olutions be indefinitely postponed, and
that no further action be taken there
on"

street Railway Presidents Decline
10 Confer with Employees.
New Orleans, March 21.-The street
car situation in this city as regarding
the unsettled difference between the
street railway employees and the presi-
dents of the railroads is unchanged.
The street railway employees union
sought a conference with the presi-
dents Of the street railroad companies
to- day, promising that unionism would
not be discussed, but the officials of
the railway companies refused, declar-
ing the invitation was simply another
means of securing a conference for the
union, which had already been refused.
The companies were each willing to
discuss it's own rules with it's en-
ployes, but would not enter into con-
ference about the management. Of the
other companies The unions execu-
tive committee will meet in the morn
ing and probably call mass meeting.
The central labor council is in session
tonight and it's action may have
strong bearing on the situation. Prom
inent citizens started a movement to-
day for volunteer committee to aid
in maintaining law and order in case
of trouble. This is the committee
which is said to have exerted influence
enough to counterfeit the Debs move
ment here five years ago.

GOODYEAR GETS $4,000.

Bar.
Washington, March 21.AThe river
and harbor bill contains an item of
$4,000 for Col G. P. GOODYEAR of
Brunswick in payment for valuable
results obtained by his operations on
the outer bar. There was some fear
that when this item got before the
House it would be objected to, as some
enemies of Col Goodyear outside of
Congress have been doing their ut
most to enlist the assistance of diff
ferent representatives in opposition to
the appropriation. These efforts have
all failed, however, and the appro-
priation went through without .oppo-
sition. AS the Senate adopted the item
when the last river and harbor bill
was under consideration, it is certain
that the action of the House this year
will be approved by that body This
is a conspicuous act of justice to Col.
Goodyear and one that will be an

WILL NOT CENSOR OUR CABLES.
Colombia Has Habit of Sending
Out Such Notices.

Washington, March 21.-The State
and Navy Departments have been in
formed of the purpose of the govern
ment of Colombia to censor all dis
patches passing over the cables be-
tween diplomatic and consular OIL
GERS on the isthmus and their home
governments. The notice came to the
Navy Department from Capt. Reising-
er of the Philadelphia, now at Panama,
and the State Department had its in
formation from the cable companies.
Not much Importance is attached to
the notice, for there have been many
such in recent years which were never
enforced against the United States, at
least. Our government being under the
obligation to protect isthman transit
would undoubtedly hold that the free
use of the cables and telegraphs is
necessary to the exercise of that power,
and it would not permit any Interior
ence with it. 1t so happens that with
war vessel on either side of the
lsthmus, there is little doubt of the
physical ability of our government to
protect it's cable communication.
