NO CHANGE IN THE SITUATION
Both Parties Inclined to Claim Advantage
From the Message.

-AAIo8o6Es
The reciprocity message gave sena-
tors live topic of conversation, but
so far as is yet apparent there is no
change in the situation. There was a
disposition on the part OF the leaders
on both sides of the controversy to
claim. when speaking publicly, some
advantage from the message. The.
straight reciprocity men urged that the
effect would be to cause at least some
OF the beet sugar Republicans TO aban-
don their opposition. They contended
that many of them had misunderstood
the attitude of the president, and now
that this had been made clear there
could be no longer excuse for Oppos-
ing straight reciprocity measures.
The message. they argued. would
clear the atmosphere, render the pres
ident's attitude unmistakable. and
therefore bring opponents within the
party face to face with the fact that
I'm continuing their opposition they are
anita gonizing the official head of the
party.
I'VE have known all the time where
the president stood on this subject.
and have told the Republican OppO-
nents of reciprocity just what the
facts are" said a leading reciprocity
senator 'sThey refused to accept our
assurances, and professed to have ex-
pressions from the president to the
contrary. The message confirms all
that we have said to them 1t clears
the atmosphere, and necessarily the
result must be beneficial for a reci-
procity bill"
The beet sugar leaders declared at
the close of the day that the message
had caused no loss whatever to them.
and that all those senators who had
stood with them are still with them.
They also asserted that the presi-
dents interpOsItion in the matter had
had the effect of causing to hesitate

Men Who Are at Work Being Gradually
Persuaded to Take Vacation.
Wilkesbarre. Pa, June 1.-the
work of the strikers in attempting to
bring out all men who are still in the
employ of the coal companies goes
steadily on. Their campaigns against
the engineers, firemen and pumpmen
are nearly Ove1 most of these men be
ing out, and the union is now paying
more attention to the fire bosses,
clerks and others who have taken the
places of those who quit. Pressure is
being brought to bear on them in
every possible way. Quite number
of the fire bosses throughout the re-
giOn have already stopped work be
cause they had been asked TO take the
strikers places, and at Il meeting held
here yesterday afternoon about u doz-
en- more co4Sehted to join the strikers.
The labor leaders hope to have more
out by Monday.
BoycOttIng Is Openly Admitted.
The company officials are aware of
the attack on the fire bosses, and they
are making efforts TO hold them. The
miners union is now planning to eS-
pei from the organization all engi-
neerS. tiremep and pumpmen who have
not yet Obeyfd the strike order. They
have been given until tonight TO join
the strikers, and if they do not quit
they will be expelled and their names
published throughout the region as
unfair workmen. The miners lead
ers as a rule will not talk on the mat
ter of boycotting. but the rank and file
of the strikers openly admit that they
try to boycott all men whom they look
upon as being unfair workers.

the men are being secured in the large
cities and distributed by the company
to the different operations. The names
of all mine workers who apply for
employment are being taken, and it
is probable that when the company
gets in n position to start up several
of its collierieS they will be called

i special court at buckingham palace
yesterday for the reception of ad-
dresses from the lcrd mayor, Sir Jo-
seph G. Dimsdale. and the corporation,
and from the London county council,
congratulating his majesty on the re-
storation of peace. The king took oc-
caSion to express his sentiments on the
subject more fully than heretofore, and
his tactful. recognition of the sterling
Qualities of the Beers doubtless will
aid materially in the work of appease-
ment in South Africa. His majesty,
surrounded by the household, received
the city dignitarics in the throne room,
and replying to the lord mayors ad-
dress, he said:
Glad the War Is over.
Il thank you I'm my own name and
in the queens for your loyal and duti-
full address and the congratulations
you tender us at the close of the war
in South Africa. L heartily join
in your expression of thankfulness to
Almighty God for the termination of
the struggle, which, while it entailed
on my people at home and beyond the
sea so many sacrifices, borne with ad-
mirable fortitude, has secured II result
strength to my empire. The cordial
and spontaneous exertions in all parts
of my dominiOns, as well as in your
ancientand loyal city. have done much
to bring about this happy result.
Pays a ComplImcnt to the Beers.
You give fitting expression to the
admiration universally felt for the
valor and endurance of the officers and
men who have been engaged in fight
ing their cOuntrys battles. They have
been opposed by n brave and deter
mined people and had 10 encounter
unexampled difficulties. These diff
culties were cheerfully overcome by
steady and persistent effort. and those
who were our opponents will now, L
rejoice to think, become our friends.
1t is my earnest hope that by mutual
cooperation and good will the bitter
feelings of the past may speedily be
replaced by ties of loyalty and friend
ship, and that an era of peace and
prosperity may be in store for South
Africa"
Empire Drawn Closer Together.
Subsequently. in response TO the ad-
dress of the London peace council, the
king spoke as follows: The readiness
with which my subjects sthroughoutthe
empire have borne their part in the
ardous campaign now happily at an
end cannot fail to draw them still
more closely together i'm bonds of 10y
atty and affection. and ] confidently
believe that the good feeling which is
being displayed by those who were so
recently our opponents augurs well for
the future of that vast country which
has been added to the dominion of the
crown" The civic dignitaries proceed
