KING ASKS PARLIAMENT TO
GRANT HIM MONEY.
IRISH MEMBERS OPPOSED
British Commander-in-chief compli-
ments Beers on Their Bravery
in the Field.

London, June AIN the house Of
commons today the government lead
er. A. J. Balfour, presented a message
from King Edward, as follows:
His majesty, the king, in considera-
tion Of the eminent services rendered
by Lord Kitchener, and being desirous
in recognition Of such services, to con-
fer upon him some signal mark of his
favor, recommends that he, the king,
shall be enabled to grant Lord Kitch-
ener e50,oOO."
John Dillon, William Redmond and
Swift MacNeill, Irish nationalists, an
announced their intention of opposing
the grant at every stage. A resolution
replying to his majesty's message will
be discussed tomorrow.
General Baden-Powell is arranging
for the distribution Of mounted con-
stabulary in various districts. The po-
lice, railroads and telegraphs will be
handed over to the civil authorities as
soon as possible and the restrictions
Of martial law will be gradually relax
ed. The Boer delegates, who during
the peace negotiations were stiff,
fromal and unfriendly, are now ex-
tremely cordial. All the commandants
are returning to their commanders
in order to explain the situation. Lord
Kitchener's- address to the Boer dele
gates at Vereeniging, in which the
commander-in-chief said that if he
had been one Of them he would have
been proud to have done SO well in
the field as they have done, made the
best possible impression and drew
forth hearty response from General
Beyers, the chairman Of the Boer con-
ference, who expressed the pleasure
the Beers experienced at meeting
Lord Kitchener as a friend, adding
that they had fought so long against
him that they had acquired full ap-
probation Of his worth.
The departure of the Boer commando
ers from Vereeniging for their various
districts was marked by remarkable
scenes Of determination. The trains
conveying the Beers started late, and,
the night being extremely cold, the
sentries along the railroad tracks
lighted huge bonfires, around which
Beers and British gathered, forming
highly picturesque scene. The late
opponents Joined in such songs as
Hard Times Come Again No More"
and "Old Folks at Home the British
soldiers and the burghers outvieing
one another in demonstrations of joy.
The same signs Of rejoicing were
witnessed throughout the Rand. Flags
were displayed everywhere. Thanks
giving services were held in all the
towns.

the ANTHRACITE STRIKE
SPECULATION OVER MEETING OF
i MITCHELL AND SARGENT.
Believed Move Will Be Made to Get
Y Railroad Employees to Side
} With Miners.

/ Wilesbarre, Pa, June 4.-There was
much speculation today over the visit
Tof President Mitchell last night to
Scranton, where he met Frank Sar
gent and other national labor lead
| ers Mr.. Mitchell returned to Wilkes
] barre this morning, but all efforts to
I get at the nature of the conference
were futile. He merely said the CON
I ference was social one. It is be-
lieved that new move of some sort
: in which the railrOaders may be in
volved, is among the possibilities of
the near future. The entire region
was reported quiet at starting time.
At only two places in the Wyoming
valley were there any signs of dem
onstration against the men working
the pumps. At Miners mills a crowd
met each trolley car as it. came into
the town. AS the workmen got off the
car under the protection of the coal
and iron companies police they were
hooted. There was no attempt at
violence and all the men reached the
collieries in safety. At the Exeter
mines of the Lehigh Valley company,
West Pittston, small crowd watched
the men go into the collieries. There
were many women in the crowd.
81, ,,;1 foyu
more additions to their ranks today,
but in most instances the coal COM
panies were able to supply the places
of those induced to leave. The opera
tors are reported to be in need of men
experienced in colliery work. The
supply of company men, such as
clerks, teamsters, bosses and other
men employed around the mines at
odd jobs, has been exhausted and the
companies are now drawing upon the
non-union men brought into the re-
gion.
A systematic boycott of all persons
and establishments that in any way
supply the wants of non-union men
has been inaugurated and is having
! it's effect in bringing men out Of the
mines. Men of all callings, including
bar tenders, butchers, grocery clerks,
etc., are organized in the coal regions.
A non-union man in most places can
mot be served, and if he is the estab-
lishment is boycotted. Families OF
non-union men are having much trou-
! BILE in buying the necessaries of life.

Imported Men sent Home.

Hazleton, Pa, June 4.-The II inn
ported men who were kidnapped at
Hazlebrook colliery by the striking
mine workers last night were sent
back to Philadelphia today. District
President Duffy announced that this
was the last batch that would be ex-
ported at the expense of the union.
About 800 men from Philadelphia
reached Hazleton on a special train
early today. They will be put to work
around the mines.
