CHAMBERLAIN MAKES TALK
GrOcers Company Give a Banquet to
Colonial Secretary and
Lord Kitchener.

LONDON Aug. 1.-Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain made a stirring speech Of en-
pire tonight when he and Lord Kitchener
were guests at banquet given by the Gro
GERS company.
After paying tributes to Lord Miner,
British high commissioner In South Africa
and to Lord Kitchener, Secretary Chamber
lain dilated upon the new conception of Inn
perial destiny In which. thanks to the South
African war, he said ideas Of kinship and
mutual obligation had been substituted for
mere pride of possession or huckstering cal
culation about profit and loss. The speaker
said he foresaw in the reorganization Of the
newly acquired South African territories
something that would make the mighty en-
pire moro than a mere geographical express
sion. I'VE hope" said he, Ito make 1t h
living entity In which each part shall con-
tribute to the success and security Of the
whole"
Referring to the conference Of colonial
premiers. the. colonial secretary said the
end actuating all parties to this conference
could only be reached through imperial de-
fense Of imperial trade. He did not suppose
this could all be attained at once. but
thought the conference led to a considera-
BILE advance, and II this we're so he would bs
content for the present.
Mr.. Chamberlain then paid a glowing
tribute to the colonies, although he said hs
thought opinion on imperial subjects wat
now broader at home than in the colonies
themselves.

VATICAN HAS A SOLUTION
Plan for Removal Of Frial Without Great
ing Any Disturbances.
LEAVE PHILIPPINES IN SMALL NUMBERS
II FrIars Do This when Time Comes
to Resume Negotiations vatican
Feels that Question VIII
Have Been Settled.

ROME, Aug. 1.-According to statements
obtained from reliable sources It is the in
tention OF the vatican that the friars Of
the Augustian, Dominican, Franciscan and
Reccolletto orders now In Manila, who now
number $50 men, should leave there in small
numbers at different times so that when the
moment comes to resume negotiations be-
tween Governor Taft and the apostolic del
egation all the friars will have left the
archipelago in such way that the friar
question will have resolved itself without
the necessity of further negotiation.
The foregoing plan is interpreted as a
late. but significant recognition by the vat
ican that Secretary Roots first propositions
made 70 the vatican through Governor Taft
were the most liberal that could be devised
for the settlement Of the question.
The great influence of the religious orders
in Rome must be reckoned with, however.
should they think Il 10 their interests to re-
sist these measures. From present indica-
tions this would not seem so, for the gen.
eral Of the Augustinlans will soon leave for
the United States to choose American Au-
gustinians to replace the Spanish members
of the order now in Manila.

CUT IN PACKING HOUSE RATE
Great Western Announces a Slash
After Chicago Meeting
Adtourns.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-(Special Telegram
Notice has been given by the Great
Western thst, effective August s, the rate
on packing house products between Mis-
souri, river points and Chicago will be re-
duced from 23ik cents to 1sh cents, and
the rate on dressed meats from 23k to
20 cents.
This action was taken today after
meeting OF the western lines called for
the purpose OF discussing the question
Of rates on these products. The feeling
engendered is exceedingly bitter and COM
peting lines have all reserved statements
regarding their action. The rates Of the
Great Western will. Of course. be met,
but the question is, will they be made
still lower?
The reduced rates are said to be the
result OF the concerted effort Of several
Of the big packing concerns, and It is
asserted that the Great Western received
some consideration for inauguFating the
reduction. Presumably this consideration
is a large amount Of business to como
from the packing house interests, but
how much is only conIectural. It is said
by some that the packing house trafhc
over the Great Western will be so large
as to be discouraging to the other roads.
Should this prove to be the fact, no one
can tell where the matter will end, as
trafic oficials OF the other lines will mot
be likely to permit trsfie to escape them
without strenuous effort to save it.

ABOARD MAYFLoWER
Crew of Presidents Boat AIIese nI-
treatment aud Half Threatens
to Desert.


OYSTER BAY, Aug. 1.-The feeling of
unrest among the crew of Mayfower,
which had led to several desertions, has
been brought to the attention OF the presi-
dent. Several days ago he received an
inkling of the troubles. but supposed that
the cases of dissatisfaction were sporadic
and isolated.
He had no idea until today that the mem
bers OF the crew generally were so In
censed at what they regarded as i'll treat
ment that quite half Of the l4l men were
ready to seize the opportunity to leave the
ship without warning.
1t is understood that Mr.. Roosevelt will
make a personal Investigation Of the mat
ter, with view. II possible. OF remedying
the trouble.
Arrangements practically have been
completed for MayhoweT's target prac-
tice in Gardeners Bay next Wednesday for
the prize of $25 In gold offered by the
president. The president and Mrs. Roose-
welt will be witnesses OF the event. They
win leave here on Tuesday on sylph and
probably will board Mayfower that night.
The practice will be conducted under
the usual naval regulations target
twenty feet wide and sixteen feet high
will be placed on a nat. Mayhower at
a distance of 1,500 yards will steam past
the targets at a speed Of ive miles
an hour. The armament Of Mayiower
consists of twelve rapid-hre guns. two
g1inners being assigned to each. Competi-
tion for the prize will be among these
twenty-four Each gunner will have two
opportunities to demonstrate his skill in
periods OF two minutes each. The gunners
may fire as many shots as they care to in
those periods, the firing being timed by a
split second watch. A careful record of
every shot fred will be kept The gunner
making the best record will receive the
prize from the president personally.
Concerning the stories OF illtreatment
of the men on board Mayfiower Lieu
tenant Commander GleaveA, in command
OF the vessel, said this afternoon that the
gross exaggeration Of the real situation
had appeared in some newspapers. He ad-
mitted that there had been some deser-
tions, particularly from the engineers de-
partment, but there were no more than
might be expected in the circumstances.

Jury HAS THE LovESWAR CASE
Defendant Makes Plea that Confess
sion Was Procured by
Hypnotic Influence.

sTURGIS, s. D., Aug. 1.--Cspecial Teie-
gram.)-The testimony In the Loveswar
murder trial was concluded at o'clock
today. Judge Rice granted a short recess
to rest the Jury and the arguments we're
commenced. Attorney Wesley A. Stuart, OF
counsel for the state. opened the argu-
ment before the fury on behalf Of the
state. Mr.. Stuart's address was a most
powerful arraignment Of the defendant.
He drew a graphic picture Of George Puck
coming west and taking up his residence
in lonely cabin home who prospered
from the beginning. was beloved by all
who knew him and who when Just ripened
into full manhood was murdered while
sleeping in his bed. Albert Puck, who was
present all through the trial. as we'll as
the audience, were deeply affected during
the argument.
James McNenny and Mcmahon made short
addresses on behalf Of the defendant.
To the surprise Of all the defendant went
upon the stand In his own defense, but
before leaving 1t made several damaging
admissions, though he denied the confess
sion. The most novel theory Of defense
ever interposed in a criminal trial was put
forward by Loveswar's attorneys. The de-
fendant went on the witness stand and
stated that DR.. McSloy, the coroner. took
him into the sheriff's ofice, that the doctor
placed his knees against those OF the de-
fendaht and kept looking him so intently
In the eyes that he said anything and
everything the doctor wanted him to. The
theory argued by defendants attorneys
was that the doctor by hypnotic power
and the power of suggestion made him
confess to a false state of facts.
! States Attorney McClung closed for the
prosecution after supper in an able and
thorough address and Judge Rice has Just
finished instructing the Jury. who retired
to deliberate at s:07 p. m.
