BOER GENERALS
REACH BERLIN
They Have an Enthusiastic Popular
Welcome, Even If They Are Not
to Meet the Emperor.

BERLIN, Oct 16.-The Boer gen
erals arrived at the Tiergarten station
here from Paris today and were well
coined by Herr Luecknof, president of
the reception committee. They were
driven to the hotel Of the Four Sea-
sons, where they were received with
great enthusiasm. Herr Trojan, edi-
tor of the KIadderadatsch, greeted
them by reading a sonnet. In his re-
ply to the editor, Gen. Botha empha-
sized the non-political character of the
mission Of the Beers, the only pur-
pose Of which, he said, was to alleviate
the unspeakabIe misery of their peo-
pie.
The generals responded to the calls
of the immense crowds in front of the
hotel by appearing on the balcony
and addressing the people. Gen. De-
wet said the Beers had been defeated
in war and submitted to their fate.
Crowds fingered in front of the hotel
until after 10 o'clock tonight. An I'M
usually strong detail of police remain
ed in the adjacent streets in readiness
to suppress any political demonstra-
ton. The visitors received an ovation
from very large crowds of people along
the route from the railroad station to
their hotel.

A GRAND MOVEMENT.

A movement Of great moment has
sprung up actively among the people
Of Ireland and of Irish birth and blood
in this country during the past few
years. 1t is movement for the res
toration Of the language and literature
Of Ireland.
There is a large class of Irish politi-
clans, both at home and abroad, to
whom such a movement as this can
never appeal Yet it is vital move
ment in the effort to restore an al
most lost nationality.
An esteemed Chicago priest returned
from Ireland a few days ago. He con-
veyed message to the people of that
race in America, which seemed full Of
hope for the Irish nation. That mes
sage contained these words:
1T is a pleasing duty to tell my race
come over Ireland during the last few
years through the Gaelic movement.
The Irish people have at length fully
realized that politics, prosperity or land
are fully conscious of the fact that what
ever measure of home rule or whatever
land purchase bills the English govern
ment may grant Ireland, if the people lose
their national characteristics their coun-
try will be at best but an English colony
with English customs, laws, language and
civilization. In other words, they believe
that an act of parliament cannot make
Irish nationality, and consequently the
Irish people themselves are building up an
Irish nation on Irish Soil.''
The movement thus portrayed is
ably supplemented by those whom
The Globe is free to call the real
Irish Nationalist in the United States.
1t is but few days ago since the Ma
tional Gaelic league assembled in its
fifth annual convention in Philadel-
phia. Delegates attended from all over
the United States. The president of
the league in Ireland reported to the
convention that the movement was a
great factor in the present life Of the
race in their native land. AS many
as 1,400 Irish schools included the
teaching of the native language in
their lists of studies, where but a year
ago the number of such schools was
limited to 1879. Through the influence
of the league the Irish language has
been revived among the masses Of the
people, fully 100000 of the race now
resorting to it in their everyday
speech.
And most hopeful adjunct of the

NATIONAL COMBINATION OF
LUMBER MANUFACTURERS
Movement for Self Protection and Not
to Advance Prices.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Oct. ia
strong effort is being made in Tennes-
see, Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkan-
sas to organize every saw mill firm Of
any importance into the Hardwood
Manufacturers Association of the
United States. The purposes are ap-
parently not in the nature of any COM
bine to increase prices, but the organi-
zation is being brought about for self
protection.
This originally developed at meet
ing of the old National Hardwood
Lumber association, composed largely
of wholesale lumber dealers. The diff
ferences rose over the refusal of the
association to arrange a uniform
schedule of inspection satisfactory to
the manufacturers. The indications
are that this new association will or
ganize so thoroughly as to be able to
overcome the wholesale dealers objec-
tons and the adoption of the uniform
inspection, and probably will result in
the elimination of the middleman, the
manufacturers selling direct to the con-
sumner. The lumber interests all over
the country are holding meetings to
carry out this end.

OFF IN THEIR DATES.

Both the Minneapolis Tribune and
the ST. Paul Pioneer Press seem to
think that the bungled gross earnings
tax law, upon which the people are to
vote this fall, is a product Of former
Gov. Linds administration and part
of his handiwork.
They are badly off in their dates
just two years.
The law in question is the product
of the Van SAINT administration and of
the legislative session of 1901.
AS shown in yesterdays Globe,
the 1899 law Of Gov. Linds administra-
ton was worded in accord with the
present Interpretation of the law, be-
ing based upon a mileage proportion
of the business shipped, instead of
upon mileage proportion of the road
operated.
The Tribune and the Pioneer Press
make a peculiar error in their dates.
The latter states:
"There does not seem to be any good
reason for dragging the question into pol
itics or any good ground for doing so
inasmuch as the Democratic governor,
John Lind, was one of the responsible
trainers of the law
Our contemporary appears to forget
that John Lind was governor in 1899
1900, while this proposed amendment is
that Of the session of 1901, when S. r.
Van SAINT was the governor who sign
ed the bill.
Our Minneapolis morning contem-
porary states:
"But if it is in the interest of the rail
roads. neither Mr.. Jacobson nor the legis-
lature of 1901 is to be blamed. They took
the wording Of the resolution proposing
the amendment without change from that
of the previous session drawn by Gov.
Lind and Attorney General Douglas"
Now it happens that the first draft
Of the 1901 bill was, as the Tribune
states, that of Gov. Lind of two years
before; but that draft, which was all
right, was thrown aside. 1t was the
the substitute amendment presented
in the minority report of the house tax
and that draft is entirely different
from the Lind version of 1899, and
changes the basis of taxation of in
terstate traffic from the mileage of
the business shipped to the mileage of
the road operated.
This draft, that which was passed
and signed by Gov. Van SAINT, was
never presented to John Lind. 1t was
strictly a Republican measure. In
stead of being in line with the 1899
draft, Mr.. Jacobson introduced it as a
substitute for the Lind version of 1899.
Our Republican friends, in their
squirming to escape the responsibility
Of their bungling, are driven to desper-
ate straits.
To attempt to escape responsibility
by saying that some Democrat saw
and approved of the measure is small
potatoes. The attorney general and
governor of the state would do well to
shoulder their responsibility, rather
than try to drag in some Democrat
who had no responsibility for their
blunders.
If they have made mistake, let
them frankly confess, without trying
to hide behind the greatness of John
Lind.

movement for the restored use of their
own language among the people Of Ire
land is the revival Of Irish art and Irish
industry. 1t is a harassing tale, and
one the retelling of which answers but
little good purpose, the story OF the
destruction Of Irish industry and the
suppression of Irish speech through
British brutality. 1t was the Irish
nation that was aimed at through such
means. It's humiliation was thus
sought through the only effective
agency. The industries of the country
have, of course, been annihilated, but
nothing short of the humiliation Of
the race itself-perhaps the toughest
task that the British government ever
set itself to-couId have destroyed the
language. The Gaelic Renaissance is
surely a glorious thing if it works out
the problem of the restoration Of Irish
language, literature, art and industry.
In this age Of materialism, the in
quiry will naturally suggest itself,
What good will be accomplished by
the revival Of tongue that has al
most passed into disuse? The answer
of the Irish patriot to such a question
must be, of course, that no nationality
is possible without a national Ian
guage But to men of enlightenment,
who know aught of the historic serv-
ices Of the Irish nation, through their
literature and language, to the spread
Of civilization itself among the bar
barian races of Europe, such an in
CURRY is mere proof of wretched ig-
norance and Indifference with refer
ence to the highest spiritual achieve
ments of members of the human
family.

A NATIONAL DISGRACE.

A great national calamity has been
ayerted by the settlement of the coal
strike. The situation was one which
cast a shadow of discredit as well as
of danger over the country and its in
stitutions It's settlement has been all
too long delayed Neither side to the
controversy at any time till the clos
ing hours of the attempted adjustment
seemed capable of realizing the real
significance of the condition which
they had united in calling into exist
ence.
There is no occasion at this time to
measure either the praise or the
blame which attaches to the transact
ton. It has passed beyond dispute
that the situation which has been
brought to a close was intolerable in a
much broader and more serious sense
than was comprised in the use of the
term by President Roosevelt. 1t was
and is intolerable not only that the
masses Of the American people should
ity of cold and suffering during the
approaching winter without any means
at their disposal to avert it; but it is
iutole1able that the contingency could
have arisen that deprived them under
any circumstances or for any period,
however brief, of access to their prin-
cipal fuel deposits.
The state in which such condition
of things could exist cannot rightfully
claim to be a representative state in
the true Significance of that term. The
condition was and is oligarchic, and the
ration should turn it's attention seri-
ously toward finding a remedy, even
to the extent of change in it's Or
ganic law, which will prevent the re-
currence of such a situation.
The people of the state of PennsyI-
vania it is to whom the lesson of this
strike should come home with most ap-
palling effect. What sort of govern
ment is it that they have authorized
when such a condition of affairs could
prevail? They ehave consented to the
prostitution of the state in it's most
sacred relations to the sordid ends of a
robber banditti led and controlled by
one of the men whom they maintain
as their representative in the United
States senate. They have allowed
themselves to be both plundered and
diSgraced by their rulers for an en-
tire generation. They have upheld year
after year through the ballot box the
most brutal and unblushing public cor
ruption. The man, who is not a thief
in act or at heart, or who is not willing
to be the tool Of thieves and marauders,
has hardly found it possible in that
commonwealth to realize civic ambi-
ton in any direction.
1t should be question with the peo-
PIE Of the other states, if the existing
state of things is maintained in Penn
sylvania much longer, whether the pro-
vision OF the federal constitution which
assures the people of the respective
states a republican form of govern
ment should not be appealed to. Even
settled as this strike has been, the So
ciaI sore which has been revealed may
be expected to break out at any mo-
ment in the immediate future.

AMERICAN LUMBERMEN
BUSY IN BRITISH COLUMBIA
Result of the Export Duty on Lumber
EmphatieaIIy Apparent.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 16.-In
a few months the export duty on lun-
Der imposed by the government Of
British Columbia has resulted in driv-
ing a number of American saw mills
across the line and largely prospecting
the Canadian lumber trade. A report
to the state department from United
States Consul Dudley at Vancouver
sums up the working of the new law
to that effect. He says the shingles
produced in Canada go into the Unit
ed States, Notwithstanding the due.
There is a demand for 5000 or 5000
men to work in the mills and logging
camps, although the wages offered are
lower than on the American side.

lack of healthy entertainment, was

AT ST. PAUL
4 fleatre,c

"A Modern Magdalen," well con-
structed drama, was presented at the
metropolitan last week by one of the
strongest companies recently seen in
the city. The play is Haddon Cham
bers' successful variation on a diff
cult and somewhat threadbare theme,
the story of a brilliant girl who sacri-
fees her womanhood to save the life
OF the sister she loves, and learns too
late the futility and fatality of the
immOlatiOn.
The play is finely staged, and the
company has been selected with great
judgment. From first to last the per-
Torrance was personal triumph, for
Miss Roselle Knott in the title part of
Katinka, the misled sister. Miss
Knott's acting is full of natural feel
ing, free from rant, and convincing in
its sincerity. Katherine Fisher, as
Olivia, the younger sister, is evident
ly less experienced actress, but gives
promise of fine work. Agnes F'indlay
presents rather conventional version
of the hackneyed role of the step
mother.
The play has several capital parts
for men, and they are all competently
filled. Daniel Jarrett, as Brinker, the
capitalist, achieves the rare success of
winning interest and sympathy for a
character commonly but little appre-
ciated and cmest inadequately acted.
The bibulOus and complaiSant father,
mindful of his own comfort, but heed
less of his daughters safety, is admir-
ably given by-EW. J. Ferguson; while
Charles Mason, as the man about town;
Victor de Silke, in the self-righteous
and prurient reformer, and FRANKLIN
Roberts, as the lover whose devotion
survives all shocks and at last rescues
the womaneof his faith, are capabE
and pleasing in the work assigned to
them. 40
The performance deserved better
audience, but could not-~have had
more friendly one.
Theatergoers who love the romantic
drama. and their name is legion, will
be delighted to learn that Gertrude
Caglan will be at the Metropolitan
Sunday night and the first half Of the
week in Edward E. Roses dramatiza-
ton of Maurice Thompson's pictur-
esQue and stirring story Of Alice Of
Old Vincennes." All of the essential
features of this widely read ~Sook have
been preserved in it's stage form, and
as result the play is attractive from
a pictorial standpoint, beautiful to
look upon, and of enough heart inter
est to captivate all who see it.
