predicted, will make the coming session
lively fol the ministry.
Refers to Lord Salisbury.
He was thanking the lord mayor for
the toast to his health. when he said
that there were subjects on which 1t was
difficult to speak in public. One of these
was his relations with his predecessor
He had been associated with Lord Sails
bury in all transactions where he had
taken leading part, and owed great
deal to Lord Salisbury for the encour-
agement given.
These were debts that he owed to Lord
Salisbury. He would not have referred
to them except for the ears Of private
friends The lord mayor remarked that
there were reporters present. Mr.. Bal
four seemed quite surprised, but de-
clared that he was not ashamed of his
words He would not have uttered them
had he been aware they would have been
made public.
Exchange Compliments.
Later in the evening Mr.. Balfour and
Colonial Secretary Chamberlain ex-
changed the warmest compliments. The
latter described Mr.. Balfour as the soul
of honor. who broke no promises, served
no private ends, and represented the
best traditions of the English Parlia-
ment. Mr. Balfour, in return, declared
that Mr.. Chamberlain had done more for
the British empire than any other
colonial minister.
Lord Selborne, first lord of the admir-
atty. also made a speech, in which he
referred to the arrangement between the
government and the Cunard Steamship
Company. He maintained that the gov
ernment had taken the most economical
method of coping with the vessels OF
foreign nations which Great Britain s
naval cruisers were not able to catch.

ATTEMPT TO WRECK TRAIN
LOAD OF SOLDIERS FAILS

WILKESBARRE. Oct 15.-An attempt
was made tonight to wreck the Delawar ,
and Hudson train which took soldiers
TO Pine Ridge, Laurel Run, and Mineral
Springs collieries, north of this city,
where there have been disturbances dur
ing the last few nights.
Large stones were wedged between the
tracks and crossing boards at Mayock
Crossing, near Miners Mills, where there
is sharp curve near an embankment
Had the train struck the stones it would
have run off the track and pitched over
the embankment. 1t was running slow
ly, and the engineer saw the obstruc-
tion in time to stop the train.
On its way back to this city. similar
distractions were discovered on tha
southbound track. Soldiers are now cn
guard.

IN SIGHT OF SOLDIERS

SHENANDOAH Pa. Oct. 15.-John
Bolowicz was attacked by a crowd of
strikers in sight u the provost guard

was taken to the miners hospital. The
doctors say he cannot recover.
There is great excitement in that sec
tion of the town tonight. and two extra
companies have been put on provost

at the various collieries hereabouts left
the stockades today because of the feel
ing that the strike is to be settled, and

KNIGHTS OF LABOR
CASES NOW SETTLED
Order for Dismissal Filed
in Court.
END OF FAcTIoNAL FIGHT
Separate Convention and Practical Dis
ruption Has Been Result of
Differences.

The knights of Labor cases, which
have demanded the attention of the Dis
trict courts for several years, were yes
terday dismissed by order of the COM
plainants.
The litigation was the result of fac
tional differences in the order. The fac
tions were known as the Parsons" and
the Hayes factions, the fight in the
courts having been commenced to GUST
John w. Hayes from the Office of gen.
eral secretary treasurer of the order.
AS a result of the differences the order
was practically disrupted. and for the
past two or three years separate con-
yentions have been held by the oppos-
ing factions.
Parsons Faction Appealed.
About year ago the matter came to
a final hearing before the Supreme Court
of the District, which decided the ques-
tions at issue in favor of the Hayes
faction. The Parsons faction then an
nounced that an appeal would be taken
to the Court of Appeals for the Dis
trict. great deal of time was taken
in preparing the appeal, and it was a
surprise yesterday when counsel for
the Parsons faction announced that that
course was abandoned and the cases
dismissed.
More testimony was taken in connec-
tion with these cases than in any other,
except, perhaps, the telephone cases.
which have been pending iTl the District
courts for several years. Testimony
was taken In nearly every large city in
the United States where ti. order has
a district assembly. Attorneys C. Maui
rice Smith and L. Cabell Williamson
represented the Hayes faction.

We do not see what any Republican
organ, hide-bound or otherw, Sc. hopes
to gain by such manifest misreprcs-
entation as this. Even the people who
read nothing but the Los Angeles
paper from which we have quoted
would see its untruthfulness from
its own telegraphic dispatches And
most certainly the rest of the COM
munity cannot be deceived by any such
statements. Secretary Hay refused to
ask for British passports, required by
British rules, and his assigned reason
was that President Roosevelt would
not not approve of 1t. There is nothing
in any law or custom. international
or moral, to prevent it. We are glad to
see that the Illinois people who con
tributed funds for the relief of the
Beers in response 10 n proclamation

stantly ordered Miles to remove the
irons and treat the distinguished pri-
soner with respect.
Nelson \. Miles is the only person
holding a commission in the United
States army, who could be guilty Of
conduct as base as this.
The officers OF the United States
army, by the canons of good taste and
proprety that govern their conduct,
as we'll as by the rules of the service,
hold aloof from partisan politics They
are in the service on the government
and the people and not of a political
party. This does not mean that army
officers do not hold and maintain
political convictions, but it means that
like the just and respected judge on
the bench, open professions Of par
tisanship and participation in partisan
must be eschewed.
Yet on the morning after the presl-
NSAAtiaA ViVNAioH ~ lN'"' 81 lS" Ali"ht4o
after Miles had reached the post of
commanding General of the Army, he
sent this dispatch:

that the present tariff schedule can
not stand much longer. The paramount
issue of the congressional elections

There are m7ay new men now de-
mandng a rcdG:ton OF duties who
even two years ago would have stub
bornly opposed any such thing.
The split in tn Republican party on
this question is v Ndcning rapidly. The
Republican press even more divided
than the Republican politicians.
Seldom has any party in this country
been so much at sea as the Republi-
cans are now on reciprocity. They are
famous folk for getting together, but
if they can reconcile their differences
on this question they will beat the r
own record.

ABOUT MILES.

or pretend 70 feel that very narrow.
and an always nasty Republican
partisan like Nelson A. Miles, could
under any conjunction Of clrcum-
stances be made the candidate of the
Democratic party for The Presidency
are simply wasting thoir valuable
imaginations.
Miles was guilty of an act that
stands alone for cowardly bas,poss
in the military annals Of the United
States. When Jefferson Davis. the de
feated chief of the Confederacy. an
American gentleman, was sent AZ a
prisoner of state to Fortress Monroe
In the spring Of 1868, Miles, then n
Major General of volunteers, was in
command of that post. Miles had or
ders from the War Department to Sc
curely confine Mr.. Davis in a case

without orders also placed shackles on
the ankles of the aged and helpless
prisoner. When this outrage became

PRESIDENT t1ARRlMAN'S VISIT.

and his conference with the represent
atives of the city's business interests
cannot help being beneficial to all con-
cerned
An honest. well-managed railroad,
like an honest economical govern
ment, has no resources but what come
from the people \ railroad does not
coin money, and has no way OF get
ting money except from the people
Consequently a wise railroad manager
should understand the views and feel
lngs of the people who contribute to
his resources and 1t is equally we'll
that the producers should understand
the views of the manager.
Mr. Hartman is conpicuous per-
sonage in the business world He Is one
of the unquestioned leaders OF finance.
The prosperity. the destiny, for time,

controls, can be Influenced by him.
We take it that mr. Hartman is too
long headed person to believe for
an instant that friendly relation with
the people along the line OF the South
ern Pacific is not for the best interests
of the railroad. The people who cup
port tne railroad, too have right to
make known their wishes or ii they
have grievances to explain them. The
committee that spoke in behalf of
Tucson to Mr., Hartman, performed
their duty well and are entitled to the
thanks of the community.

REPUBLICAN, APOLOGIES.

A Los Angeles paper remarkable for
subseryiency to those in authority and
peculiarly gentle to everything Brit
ish is responsible for the following
misstatement:
A great outcry is being made just
now in the pretended interest of Boer
prisoners and sufferers in South
Africa because the British govern
ment has established certain rules for
the distribution of relief among those
in the so-called concentration camps.
Those/who are making the outcry de-
mand that the United States shall
dictate to Great Britain the rules and
methods for the distribution of such
relief The demand ignores the estab-
lished usage of all civilized nations
in time Of war to prescribe the con-
ditions under which persons may pass
their military lines for any purpose
whatever. In modern times every
civilized nation has had its own met
hod for caring fer prisoners Or depen-
dents during war and for the sick and
suffering in its armies. and il would
be the hight of impropriety for one
government to attempt to force its
charities upon the subjects of another
or to demand for it's citizens the sus-
pension of rules made for the regula-
ton of relief work and applicable to
all nationalities alike.
This is false in every particular. No
body has made any complaint about
II O., ha
of the relief in the concentration
camps. The complaint that has been
made of Great Britain is for maintain
ing the concentration camps and con
fning women and children in them,
Nobody has asked that the United
States shall dictate to Great Britain
the rules and methods for the dstri-
button OF such relief" All that was
asked was that our State Department
should ask for passports in accordance
with British rules. There has been
no reason to anticipate that Great
Britain would refuse them. ThcT were
recently granted to Americans TO visit
the Boor prison camps in Bermuda.
and we're still more recently granted
to Germans to carry relief to the South
African camps
Nobody has asked any permission to
pass the British military lines" or
has asked anyone to ask permission
tho concentration camps are within
the British lines, and no part of the
territory controlled by the Beers Is
PASSED over in going to them, The
privilege asked is precisely the same
that our government asked and OBJ
tanned of the Spanish government in
cuba.
It is not the hight Of impropricty'
for one government 10 ask perms-
sion for it's philantrophic citizens TO
carry relief to the prisoners of an
other. and no civilized nation so re-
CARDS it. Not only did we do that very
thing in the case of Cuba; not only has
Great Britain conceded tnat very
privilege to Germany; but also. our
insisted on that very
privilege when the Beers t'e in /
power at Pretoria and had their prison !
camps for British soldiers there
