County Commissioner P. j. Lynch and
Justice of the Peace w. P. Reilly, who
were arrested by the military last night
and subsequently released today, an
nounced their determination to bring

BALFOUR ISSUES
ADVANCE SHEETS
PAMPHLET WILL SERVE AS IN
PRODUCTION TO SPEECH ON
OCTOBER 1-PREsENTs ARGu.
MENTs FOR TARIFF CHANGE.

london, September 15.-Prenier Bal
four issued tonight the advance sheets
of a pamphlet on the subject of "lnsu-
lar Free Trade" in which he presents at
length arguments In favor Of change In
Great Britain's fiscal policy In lntroduc-
ine the pamphlet Mr.. Bafour says his
purpose In issuing it is that it would be
impossible to put all the important points
of this question within the limits OF
single speech and therefore he says the
pamphlet may be a fitting preliminary TO
the speech which he will shortly make.
This undoubtedly refers to the speech
Mr. Balfour will make at Sheffield, octo-
Der l.
Mr.. Balfour says he approaches the
subject from the standpoint of free
trader as far as contemporary circum-
stances will permit. He continues:
81 am a free trader, but not of the pat
tern which holds that the doctrine of free
trade is so universal In its application
and so capable of an exact examination
that every conclusion to which 1t logi-
caly leads must be accepted without
hesitation and without reserve"
The arguments presented throughout
the pamphlet vary little from those al
ready enunciated but the premier points
out that as a result of England's retain
ing fiscal policy made for free trade
country in world of protectionists, the
rate of her export trade has not In
creased and In fact has seriously dimin-
ished.
The papers universally praise Mr.. Bal
four's pamphlet for the ability and lucid
ity with which the arguments are pre-
sented and a warm welcome is extended
to it by organs, which, though in favor
of protectionist ideas, were opposed on
the grounds of political expediency to Mr..
iChamberIain's food taxation proposals.
The liberal papers, however, in their edl-
torials strongly denounce the booklet. be-
cause they contend that 1t leaves Mr..
Balfour on the protectionist side without
IN any way settling the issue before the
country.
The Duke of Devonshire had a confer
ence lasting two hours with Mr.. Balfour.
1t is believed that within a day or two
the resignation of the chancellor of the
exchequer. Mr.. Richie, and perhaps the
Duke of Devonshire, will be announced,
although nothing certain is known.
A circumstantial statement is published
attributng to the colonial secretary the
prediction of a general election and the
defeat of the government in the spring.
The conservatives will be in opposition
for six months and then he will return to
office with the country at his back.

KNIGHTS IN A TANGLE.
Contested Election Has Placed Off
GERS In Much Uncertainty.

Washington, September ia phase of
the knights of Labor trouble arising out
of the contested election of national Of

last year, came up in equity court No. 1
today. Justice Gould dissolved tempo

that they are the legal officers of the So
ciety, and not John Hays, Isaac D. Cham

Justice Gould did not think that the
defendants should be restrained from han
ding the property pending the hearing OF
the case on its merits. which will occur
at the October term of court.

NEGROES WILL ASK
FREE LIBRARIES
PROMINENT MEMBERS OF RACE
HOPE THAT CARNEGIE CAN BE
PREVAILED UPON TO GRANT
REQUEST.

Chattanooga, September 15.-Andrew
Carnegie is to be asked to establish free
libraries in Chattanooga and several
other southern cities for the exclusive
use of negroes. Frank J. Wheaton, a
prominent negro attorney of New York.
and other influential men of his race, have
already sent memorial to Mr.. Carnegie
suggesting the idea and a delegation will
call upon him In the near future.
1t is pointed out by Wheaton and his
assistants that the negroes of Chatta-
nooga, Atlanta, Knoxville and other cit
les in which Mr.. Carnegie is establishing
libraries. will be barred from the privil-
eyes of the institutions. Mr.. Carnegies
recent donation to Tuskegee institute
shows that he is interested in the colored
people of the south and wants to help
them. Wheaton hopes that he will pro-
vide libraries In a number of places.

Moody Dissatisfied at ACquitta
of Ensign Workman
STILL HOLDS HIM GUILTY
Says Evidence Adduced In Regard to
Explosion on the Massachusetts
Does Not Justly Action
of Courtmartial.

Washington. September 15,-Secretary
Moody has disapproved the findings in
the case of Ensign Ward K. Workman,
United States navy. who was tried by
court martial and acquitted Of the
charge of "culpable inefficiency in the
performance of duty"
The secretary has had the findings I'M
der consideration since last March. Wort
man, On January IS, last. off San Juan
was in charge of the third gun division
on the Massachusetts. including the two
eight inch guns in the starboard after
turret, when one of them, during target
practice, exploded, injuring nine enlisted
men, all of whom afterward died. The
court Of inquiry found Workman guilty
of error of judgment in giving an order
to open the breech of the gun for the
purpose of returning to electrical firing
while the gun was loaded. The court rec
commended that no further proceedings
be had in the matter. The secretary,
however, ordered a courtmartial on the
basis of the courts findings and Wort
man was acquitted by this court.
Secretary Moody differs from the
courts findings that there was insufi-
Client evidence to prove that the lanyard
led out and was hooked when the order
to open the breech was given. In his
review the secretary says: after a
careful review of all the evidence 1 am
of the opinion that the accused failed to
exercise the care which was required of
him; that in giving the order to open the
breech of the gun under the clrcumstan-
ces, which the evidence proves, he was
negligent; that the death of nine enlisted
men resulted from his negligence; and
that in what he did and failed to do In
the premises, he was guilty of culpable
inefficiency in the performance of duty"
The action of the secretary does not
affect the courts findings.
