Of these words are transposcd. they

Saturated With Pro Brit

Washington, March 12.-WhiIe tine
house was debating anything but the

yesterday BurlesOn of Texas took the
opportunity to call attention to the
resolutions introduced by him Il few
days ago calling on the secretary of
state for Information as to whether
he had declined TO request the
British ambassador TO furnish pass
ports for Rev. Hiram w. Thomas and
wife, of Chicago, who We're selected
to distribute funds collected in Illinois
for the relief of non-combatant pris-
Oners in South Africa.
BurleSOn sent to the clerks desk
and had read Il letter from John o.
Knight, who came to Washington to
secure the passports for DIR. Thomas
and wife. Mr.. Knight in the letter
said he had gone TO Secretary Hay
with letter from Senator Cullom,
and the secretary of state had declined
to make the request of Lord Paunce-
fote on the ground that such a re
quest would he considered ''meddle-
some" Il ''remisSneSS of neutrality"
and against the views of President
Roosevelt If the facts stated in this
letter were true, said BuTleson, then

with pro-British spirit that it could

wOuId nave allowed a committee that
existed in London in 1863, and which
was in full sympathy with the Con
federate cause. to go through the
Union lines for the purpose of dis
tFibuting relief. The international
Red Cross was organized for the pur
pose of carrying relief. Funds could
be distributed through it or through
our conSuls. but not through those in
sympathy with the enemy. The rules
of international law upon the question
were well established. Every old sol
dier of either army who had been in
prison during the Civil War under
stood the situation perfectly. NJeffer-
son Davis would not have allowed
northern sympathiZers To- perambulatc
through southern camps to distribute
relief.

ties had not declined to allow the Red
Cross to conduct their humane work in
South Africa Hit said such a state

denied: he did not know the facts.
