THE PREMIER
ENGLAND'S PARLIAMENT GREETs
BALFOUR.
New Prime Minister Blushingly Ac-
cepts Honors and Pays Brilliant
Eulogy To Lord Salisbury.

LONDON, July 14-Balfours first
appearance in the House Of Commons
as Premier was characteristic of t&e
man and of the assembly. From the
party meeting at the Foreign Office the
members trooped over en- bloc, and
shortly after o'clock the House was
packed. Both front benches were fill
ed with Ministers and ex-Ministers,
except for a vacant place opposite the
mace, where Balfour was such a fami-
liar figure. Peers came into the stran-
gers gallery and leaned expectantly
upon the rails. Amid a nervous, cease
less chatter of questions which were
ratified through Sir Michael Hicks
Beach sat gloomily among the col
leagues he was soon to leave.
Suddenly the clatter ceased, and
there stole from behind the Speaker g
chair the long, thin figure of the Prime
Minister From all sides of the House
there rose a chorus of Hear, heart"
The members rose and kept up the APP
plause till Balfour, who sidled along
the Treasury bench, nearly falling on
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach's feet, reach
ed his seat and buried his head iu a

reference to Balfour as Is seldom heard
in legislative bodies, and which was
delivered with an emotion that quite
unnerved the Premier. When Balfour
rose to reply the ovation was renew
ed but his voice faltered, and he was
only able, hesitatingly, to declare that
he was too overcome to find words of
thanks After Balfour's tribute to
Lord Salisbury, which was universally
commended for it's tactful reserve, the
House emptied, the members gather
ing in the terrace and in the Hobbies,
discussing the political features that
the day had brought forth.

BAY CITY. Mich, May 21.-The Michigan
district United Mine Workers OF America
has joined with the three striking anthra-
cite districts of Pennsylvania in a request
10 National President Mitchell for a ma
tional convention of all the miners Of the
country to discuss a general strike Of all
mine workers. This action was taken at
meeting of the executive board of the Mich
igan district held at Saginaw on Monday.
the request for the conference being sent
to President Mitchell by telegraph. The
fact that such action had been taken was
kept quiet and although President VIII
lams refused 10 confirm or deny the
port of such action other members of the
executive board admitted that such re-
quest had been made. Both President Will
lams and Secretary Cowen, Of the state
organization. stated that they expected

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEES ACT
PROSPECTS FOR PEACE IN ANTHRA-

Michigan Miners in Favor of Calling q
Special Convention to Decide on
General Strike.

WILKESBARRE, Pa. May 2l.-The three
anthracite executive committees OF the
United Mine Workers of America at their
joint meeting to-day decided to permit the
engineers. firemen and pumpmen 10 remain
at work provided the coal companies grant
them an eight-hour day at present wages.
If these demands are not granted by June
the men shall then suspend work. Al
though the instructions issued TO the local
unions do not specifically say that the men
shall cease work on that date IL the de-
mand is not granted. they are so construed
by the committeeman. This action was
taken after two sessions had been held
which consumed the entire day. At present
the engineers. firemen and pumpmen work
ten hours day. Some of the iremen work
twelve
The action of the committees is not as
drastic as was looked for. Under the in
structions issued the protectors of the
mines. if granted the concessions, can re-
main at work matter how long the
strike of the mine workers shall last. Some
of the radical committeeman wanted them
called out and kept out until all the mine
workers were satisfied but the cOnserNa-

of the coal companies have declared that

to points of interest about ST. Petersburg.
The sight of a French uniform is every
where the signal for an ovation. 1t is con-
sidered that the French squadron will re-
turn home by way of Copenhagen, and
that in any case it will avoid passing
through the Kiei canal. Their Majesties
gave a state banquet in the evening in
honor of President Loubet's visit in the
magnificent Sales DIES Fetes.
The Car, President Loubet, the Czarina
and the dowager Czarina attended great
review of troops to-day His Majesty, on
horseback, and NJ. Loubet, the Czarina, the
dowager CZarina and the Grand Duchess
Sergius, in a carriage, passed down the
front of the troops, attended by brilliant
suites. The imperial and presidential cor
tege received an ovation from the large
crowds of people which assembled to wit
ness the military display. AT the luncheon
after the review the Car offered the fol-
lowing toast:
past you have just witnessed are happy to
have been privileged TO render honors to
so highly esteemed a chief of a state,
friendly and allied. The lively sympathie
felt by the Russian army for the splendid
army of France are well known to you.
They constitute a real brotherhood of arms
which can be regarded with all the greater
satisfaction because these imposing forces
are not destined to support one another
aggressively, but, on the contrary, to
strengthen the maintenance of general
peace and safeguard respect for those high
principles which assure the well-being and
cOnduce to the progress of nations. I raise
my glass to the prosperity and glory of the
grand army of France"
President Loubet replied:
''Sir-I thank your Majesty for giving me
the extreme pleasure of admiring the fine
troops whose proud bearing, martial step
and precision in maneuvering are evidence
that the Russian army proudly maintains
its high renown. Just as common sympa-
thies and wide interests have united the
two peoples, also the noble brotherhood of
arms and reciprocal esteem strongly bind
the two armies. This imposing force
menaces no one, but 1t has furnished Rus
STA and France both a guarantee for the
exercise of their rights and an aegis under
which they can in all tranquility follow
the fruitful labors which are rendering the
two nations more prosperous and augment
ing their power and legitimate influence.
In the name of the French army, which has
not forgotten the honor which your Majesty
paid in in attending its maneuvers L drink
to the prosperity and glory of the brave
army of Russia"

10 this question, and the witness at first
said he did not wish 10 commit himself on
that point but he ultimately said that
such was mis- belief. He also expressed
the opinion that the statements that the
enlisted men had subsequently mistreated
her was true.
With these statements Mr.. O'Brien's tes-
timony closed and Mr.. Patterson rose and
made "A formal statement 10 the effect that
ne and Senator Rawlns had both protested
against introduction OF the hearsay evil
dence alleging maltreatment of a woman
by American officers and read the report
OF Witness O'Briens first examination in
confirmation Of his statement.
My feeling and that OF the minority is, "
he said. that the honor and integrity Of
American officers and American soldiers
should not be impugned by the introduction
or such testimony. and ] want TO say that
everything which has followed the first
statments made by the witness has been
dragged in by the majority.
Senator Beverage replied that there was
no desire TO connect the minority of the
committee with the statements of the wit
ness. He added that the mans first allega-
tons had gone TO the country, and he
deemed IL only fair that the charges
should be thoroughly probed.
Senator Lodge said: so much has been
said here about American soldiers that /
want them to know the exact truth and
have an opportunity TO defend themselves"

Ii VIII Not Prevent the Building of
Isthmus Canal.
Washington Star.


1t is now declared that we must not
pierce the isthmus with canal because the
region is volcanic, and subject 10 earth
quakes. and our canal may at some time be
damaged destroyed. The horrors of ST.
Pierre are dangled in awful warning before
the eyes of the canal advocates.
To be sure, many of those exhibiting this
bugaboo attempt to confine its application
TO the Nicaraguan route, and would not
cOncede that they are opposing all sthmian
canal projects. But the effort TO place Pan
anna outside the earthquake belt is futile.
The canal commissioners elaborate report
on this subject shows a record of twice
many earthquakes for Panama for Mic
aragua, and the most serious disaster of
this character occurring in the two sections
for the last half century was that of Sept.
Z, 1882, along the Panama route, when Lives
were lost and crevasses were opened" at
Colon, when lat Las Cruces the church was
thrown down." and when "a part of the
front of the cathedral in Panama was
thrown down and the headquarters building
railroad had its track and rOadbed in places
thrown out of line, and the masonry of
three or four bridges and culverts was
damaged
The record is not complete enough to
justify entirely satisfactory and con-
elusive comparison between the two routes
in this respect, but there is nothing what
ever to indicate any superiority in the case
of Panama, and no terrible disaster is
recorded in the case of either region.
1t is unfortunate of course, that the only
section of the continent which can be
pierced to unite the oceans should be cursed
with fevers and earthquakes, with a pesti-
lential climate and unstable soil. But
the idea that Americans will be deferred by
such obstacles from the construction of
isthmian canal is prepOsterous Prosperous
cities and expensive public improvements,
representing millions Of outlay, are spring
ing UP rapidly within the cyclone belt of the
Northwest A funnel-shaped cloud may in
an hour destroy there more lives and more
property values than could possibly be
iSthmian
neither cyclones nor earthquakes are to be
regarded in the irresistible forward march
of American civilization in the progress and
development of the great Republic.

Few Lincoln Monuments.
LeSlie'S Weekly.

The introduction in Congress by Senator
Cullom of a bill providing for commits
sion to secure plans and designs for a monu-
ment to be erected to the memory of Presi-
cent Lincoln may serve to call attention TO
the strange fact that while the name of
our first martyred chief magistrate, the
great emancipator is probably held in more
tender and affectionate remembrance by
the American people than that of any other
man. the monuments erected TO him are
notably few. The most artistic is that in
Lincoln Park. Chicago. The only others
worthy of mention are one in small park
east of the Capitol at Washington. one in
Philadelphia and one in Union Square. New
York. A life-size bronze statue of Lincoln
was recently completed for the Buffalo
Historical Society, which has not, at this
writing. been placed. While this paucty Of
memorials TO the illustrous man who piloted
the Nation through the darkest and most
critical period in its history cannot be at
tributed to cold or willful neglect the fact
is not creditable to the patriotism of the
American people. Lincoln's name is craven
in deep and imperishabe characters in hu-
man history and he needs no tablets Of
stone or marble to keep his memory fresh
and dear to all lovers of liberty but monu-
ments to men such as he have a value for
their associations TO future generations
which should not be ignored even in this
unitarian

Conditions i'm Bahamas Province.

MANILA. May H.-Captain Crawford
chief of the constabulary of Batangas
province. reports that the conditions there
are better than ever before There is less
ladronism, and the inhabitants seem to
have developed fresh energy and interest
in life, believing that an era of settled
peace has begun. They are now construct
ing better houses and are living on a scale
appCoximating American ideas of COM
fort, cleanliness and sanitation. Captain
Crawford attributes this Improvement
principally TO experience in American
ways, gained by the natives in the concen-
tration camps. Enforced sanitation, good
treatment of the INDECENT and helpless and
careful nursing of the sick he says, gave
the natives a different impression of the
Americans and did much to eradicate race
hatred. The American soldiers are now
looked upon as protectors rather than as
enemies.
