BOER WAR DENOUNCED
BY THE BRITISH TRADES UNION
CONGRESS.
Resolution Against the Trusts Also
Adopted - Plea for Woman
Suffrage Defeated.

LONDON. September 5.-The trades union
congress at it's session today rejected res
olution introduced by the general union of
weavers, etc, to the effect that the time
had now arrived when in the economic in
terests of women the franchise should be
extended to them on the same terms as it Il;
or may be to men" A naturalization reso-
luton, presented by the Manchester Jew
ish Tailors' Union was adopted
1t asks for reduction of the naturaliza-
ton fee so that it may be within the reach
of every workman who has been a MEM
Der CT a trade union for a period of five
years, and, with the approval of such a
trade union, he may apply for naturaliza-
tion.
The congress also adopted a motion ia
yOring the payment of members of parlla-
ment. in order to allow all sections of the
community to be adequately represented in
the house of commons.
1t was also voted that the parliamentary
committee be instructed to introduce a b:ll
in the house of commons to prevent any
children under fifteen years of age being
employed in any textile or non-teXtile fac
tories.
The Cigarmakers' Mutual Association IN
troduCed a resolution aimed against ''capi-
taIistic combines" which was unanimously
adopted. 1t was worded as follows:
That in the opinion of this congress the
their enormous power of controlling pro-
ductiOn, is injurious to the advancement of
the working classes, by such combina-
tion the prices of commodities are raised,
the standard of comfort of the people can
be reduced. the Workmens freedom endan-
gered and national prosperity menaced."
The speakers contended that the time had
arrived when if the state did not control
the trusts the latter would control the state,
and that the only permanent solution of the
difficulty rested in national ownership and
control of these mOnspolies. At the in
stance of the Navvies and General Labor
ers Union the following resolution was
passed:
That this congress of British trade
uniOnists places on record it's unqualified
disapproval of the war against the Orange
Free State and the Transvaal republic. be
lieying that the question of extending the
franchise and the protection of industry
was not the real cause of the dispute, but
the mere shield to cover an unscrupulous
conspiracy to grab territory and replace
well-paid white labor with unpaid, partially
enslaved blacks and Asiatics
Further. this congress reaffirms its con-
tinued hostility to all wars of foreign ag-
gression, which only tend to enrich the sin
lister figure of cosmopolitan finance, whose
main object is to hold the workers of all
countries in universal, social and economic
seryitude."

other foreign vessel attempting entrance TO

Your notice of blockade was defective
as setting no time for commencement or
the status of ships in harbor.
Il consider that onee5Eesss so far from
the base of supplies cannot effectively
blockade a place, for the b1ockading vessel

Hoping for the sake of humanity that
you will not oblige me to use the force un-

1T was my intention to so in and have
a talk to exchange ideas, but the pilot I
have does not feel sure of the channel, and
my charts are old and unreliable.
Enclosed is the protest, signed by all the
consuls at Cape Haytien, which l promised
to deliver. Hoping you are WELL and that

After about three hours the Crete Pier

DECLARED ACT OF PIRACY.
Search of German Steamer by Hal
tan Insurgent Gunboat.

BERLIN, September 5-An official dis
patch was received here from Port au
Prince, Haiti, yesterday, confirming the
Associated Press dispatch of September 3,
from Cape Haitian, announcing that the
Haitian revolutionary gunboat Crete-a-
Pierrot stopped the German steamer Mark
omannia, September 2, at the entrance of
the harbor of Cape Haitian, sent an armed
force on board of her and took possession
of war munitions belonging to the provi-
sional government of Haiti and adding
that the captain of the Crete-a-Pierrot
subsequently released the steamer.
The representatives of the various powers
here are unanimously of the opinion that
the Crete-a-Perrot cannot be regarded as
a warship of belligerent state, and that
the search of the Markomannia and the
confiscation of the arms and ammunition
on board of her was nothing but an act Of
piracy.
