FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE %, 1908.

Ir HAS frequently been said that
when some Southern men are invited to
make speeches in the North they foolishly
imagine that to please their hearers they
must renounce their allegiance to their
own people and section, and even stullify
themselves. The latest instance OF the
truth of this observation is that OF Gen
T. II. Rosser, a general in the COnfed-
crate army, who in Boston last night at
the unwilling of the statue of Gen.
Hooker after riding in the parade and
while "feeIing in a very patriotic mood, "
made a speech in which he said;
81 never confronted so many Yankees
before. and ! ought to surrender. !

The intercollegiate Boat Races

Poughkeepsie, n. Y, June 26.-One
hundred and four oarsmen, the pick of
half dozen American colleges, could
not repress a shout Of JOY this morning
when they awoke to find clear sky
and scarcely a breath of air stirring.
The betting early this morning was 10
to in favor of Cornell against the field.
With Cornell barred, it was even money
Wisconsin against the field. As the
day progresses much more Pennsylvania
money will come into sight on the
strength of the Uniyersity's crews
record performance last evening. There
is more money in sight to bet on Column
bia at the prevailing odds than any other
college contingent. 1t is said that there
will be Wisconsin money at odds Of b to
3 against any two crews in the race,
barring Cornell, before the race is called.
There is some inclination among the
professional bettors and a few college
men from the South to back the George
town crew to finish as good as third.
The first race will be called about 4 p. m.
to be followed by the others as rapidly
as possible. The Varsity is expected to
be called by six O'Clock, which is the
last event of the regatta.

THE republicans are laying great
stress upon the fact that Mr.. Machen'
who is so mixed up in the postal scan
dals, was an appointee of Mr. Cleveland
and continued in office under a repub-
lican administration. They know all
the facts and are doubly responsible for
Mr.. Maehen's rascality, for they know
that he renowned his politics and de-
serted his party to hold his position.
No man can be politically wrong and

ToDAy's DISPATCHES from Richmond

many in all parts of Virginia. 1t seems
that the crisis is about to pass the dan

scenes are likely to be enacted. 50 far
there have been no fatalities, though
several persons have received wounds.
All hope the good sense of those engaged
in the issue will do everything possible
70 restore tranquility. A city in state
ofrevolution is a terrible thing to con-
template. and when soldiers with fixed
bavonets supersede the patient policemen
with their batons, state OF affairs Is IN
troduced calculated to cause apprehen-
sion The soldiers who have refralned
from usinc heroic measures against their
fellow-beings of the same Commonwealth
have manifested spirit which is COM
mondable. Much has been said OF the
first Napoleon who was ready to shed
rivers of blood for power prominence,
and when he planted cannon in the
streets Of Paris and swept populous
bouleyards the historian describes it with
mart Of a short sentence-and the reyo-
luton was over. 1t is we'll that no such
drastic procedures were required in Vir-
pinia. and all lovers of the Old Do
minion sincerely hope that the dis
graceful scenes that have been enacted
in Richmond during the past few days
may never be repeated.

PASSES TWENTY BILLS,
House Approves Measures From the
Judiciary Committee

Washington, Jan. 2S-The house de-
voted the day to bills reported from
the judiciary committee, passing about
twenty. Most of them were of a minor
character, relating to the times of hold
ing court, etc., but two were of gen
eral Importance. One was to meet the
original package decision of the su-
preme court by making intoxicating
liquors imported into states subject to
the Jurisdiction of such states.
The bill is designed to prevent
evasion under the original package de-
cision of liquor laws in prohibition
states. The other bill is the senate
bill to increase the salaries of federal
Judges. It raises the salary of the
chief justice of the supreme court to
$l3 900, that of associate justice to
$l2,5O0, circuit judges to $1,000, dis
trict judges to $4,000, the chief justice
of the court of claims to $4,000, asso.
ciate justices to $4,000 and the justices
of the supreme court of the District of
Columbia to $4,000.
Other bills passed create additional
district judges in the Southern district
of New York and in the District of
Minnesota and provide additional cir
cult judges in the Eighth judicial cir
cult court.

the anthracite coal strike commission.
It is probable that the Independent op-
orators will conclude their cases by
Thursday. The Reading company will
follow and will occupy the attention of
the commission during the remainder
of the week. The testimony presented
during the day was varied and interest
ing, an important witness being Albert
G. Leisenring, superintendent of the
Upper Lehigh Coal company. Mr..
Leisenring said he believed the meet
ing of employer and employe to be
beneficial to both parties and when
asked if he preferred to allow his mine
to fill with water rather than grant his
men an eight-hour working day, he
said he would rather not.

Many: Important Measures Have Been
Acted Upon.
Indianapolis, Jan. 28.-The mine
workers completed their work and adj
Journed during the afternoon. The
convention has been the most expe-
ditious and least monotonous ever
held. Many important measures have
been considered and acted upon.
Among them are the formulation of a
demand for an increase of wages Of
sl21la cents per fiat ton on a run-of-mine
basis and fiat differential of 7 cents
per ton between pick and machine
mined coal; demand for an increase
OF wages of inside and outside laborers
in proportion to the increase of the
miners; the refusal to commit the con-
ventfon to socialism and government
ownership; raising of officers salaries:
declaring against children working in
mines; the demand for an anti-iniunc-
ton law and the plans for a defense
fund
The conference will be held with the
operators Friday.
1t is the opinion of the members Of
the convention the conference
will be of short duration. The oper-
ators have signified their willingness
to grant an increase of wages in many
instances, but have never given any
1ntlmatiOn of the amount they will be
willing to give,

Venezuelan Negotiators Discuss
Minor Detail.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-The first joint
conference of the Venezuelan negotia-
tors occurred during the afternoon by
appointment at Mr.. Bowens apart
ments, the ranking diplomat, Signor
Mayer des Planches, the Italian am
bassador, making the representations
in French to Mr.. Bowen. The question
under discussion was a matter of the
merest detail, the ENJOYS wishing to
know whether the monthly payment to
the allies should be in proportion to
the amount of the claims, or whether
Great Britain, Germany and Italy
would receive the same amounts each
month until the indemnity was paid.
Mr.. Bowen said he was quite willing
to leave this to the powers themselves
to settle and that any arrangement
they might make would be satisfactory
to Venezuela 49,.

A SERIOUS EMBARRASSMENT.
Washington Hopes the Venezuelan
Blockade Will Soon End.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-The earnest
hope is expressed by officials having
to do with Venezuelan matters that
the European allies will come to an
agreement promptly and call off the
blockade that is still in force. Its con-
tinuance is a serious embarrassment
to the people of Venezuela. The differ
ence between the offers Of Mr.. Bowen
and the demands of the allies, it is felt
here, are not. such as should require
continuance of the present condition of
affairs on the Venezuelan coast.
Any further material delay in reach
ing an agreement, it is believed here,
will not arise from any irreconciliable
differences between the offers of Mr..
Bowen and the demands of the Euro
pean governments, but from feeling
on the part of the allies that they
should be over cautious and insistent
on an absolutely binding agreement,
even in small matters.
