THE ENGLISH CABINET
NOW ON ITS LAST LEGS
Chamberlain ForeShadowS Early
Dissolution of Parliament.

LONDON, May 16.-Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain's appeal for trade reci-
procity within the empire, In his speech
to his constituents at Birmingham last
night. is generally regarded as the most
important political manifesto since
GIadstones home rule speeches. 1t Is
fraught with the possibility of disrupt
ing the conservative ranks as complete
ly as home rule did the ranks Of the
liberals.
Chamberlain's speech, coming as il
does Immediately after Premier Bal
four's emphatic refusal to reiTnpose the
corn tax, undoubtedly indicates a Sc
rious split in the present ministry. and
foreshadows an early dissolution Of par
( lament. The almost general belief is
that the government is now on its last
legs, and needs only good push TO send
it to the ground.
Chamberlain's new policy has come
with such suddenness on the conserya-
tiYes that they have not yet recovered
their breath. Ii is not safe to prophesy
at present the approximate strength of
the movement, but the colonial minis
ters personality is so strong that II
must compel big defections 10 the free
trade ranks. England is now on the eve
of fight for protection, not of home
Industries, but the Industries of the col
onies. Whether the fight will be sue
cessful or not depends almost entirely
on Chamberlaln's s genius for leadership
in an independent movement.

The purpose OF the hearing was to ad-
wise the Government officials of the con-
duct of the strike. and its probable ef-
feet on the marine interests of the
world. II was not represented The
strike had reached stage that made it
necessary for the Government TO take
any action, but at the same time 1t was
deemed desirous by shipping interests
to keep the situation before the Gov
ernment agents.
One committee represented the Asso-
citation for the Protection of Commerce
of the port of New York, and was com
posed of Frank B. Dalzen, president of
the association; Henry L. Joyce. vice
president; Frederick Russell, w e.
Dubois, and Senator Albert A Wray
The other committee was from the
National Board OF Steam Navigation,
and consisted of Charles H. Boyer. Wal
ter c. Foster. and John F. Ambrose, of
New York, and d. B. Blackburn, of
Pittsburg
The inspector general received the re-
ports. and promised 10 give the matter
his closest attention.

BILL MUST Be PAID
BY THE GOVERNED
Four Hundred Immigrants to Be
Taken TO New England by Rail.

Troubles of the immigration officers.
growing out of the wreck of the Vera
Cruz III, and the landing of nearly four
hundred immigrants at Newbern. y. c.,
are not over. The Merchants and Min
ers' Steamship Line. which was expect
ed to convey the Portuguese from Nor
folk to Providence. has declined 10 ac-
cept the contract, and the immigrants
will have 10 be taken all the way by rail
The destination of the immigrants was
New Bedford, Mass, and the Govern
ment feels compelled TO land them at
that place.
The cost OF transportation Is much
greater by rail than IL would have been
under the plans made yesterday, but as
the immigration officers have been un-
able to find any responsible consignee. 1t
will be necessary for the Government to
pay the expense.
Captain Fernandez, OF the stranded
vessel, who disappeared with the immi-
grants money soon after the wreck, has
not been found, and it is believed by
this time he has shipped Oh some OUT
going ship.

ANOTHER NEGRO CHURCH
WRECKED BY DYNAMITE
Chicago Pastor Had Severely Crit
iciSed His Race.

CHICAGO, May 16.-Another negro
church was wrecked by dynamite last
night when a bomb was exploded under
the pulpit of the African Methodist
Church at Evanston. The interior was
demolished and the front OF the build
ing was blown out.
The crusade began in Chicago against
policy playing and which spread TO the
North Shore suburb Thursday night is
ascribed by a part OF the congregation
as the motive Other members believe
the harsh statements of the pastor. the
Rev. I. y. Daniels, at the same meeting
concerning the status of the negro in
what was characterized as the white
mans country gave offense. The pastor
told his flock that there were too few real
men and women among the negroes; that
this is the white mans country, and that
unless the negro soon comes to an un-
derstanding of this and follows in his
footsteps instead of attempting TO rule.
there is little hope for the race.
The explosion occurred shortly after
the building was vacated by the congre-
CATION which had attended the evening
services.

ON IN MISSISSIPPI
Whites AmbuShed and Farmer Nor
tally Wounded.

LAUREL. Miss, May ia bloody
race war has broken out near Burns. in
the northern part OF Smith county.
Reports have reached here that Mr..
Craft, a white farmer. and several
negroes have been killed and the war
is still going on. The whites are
securing the country. shooting and
whipping every suspicious negro.
The trouble began last Tuesday. a
family of negroes working for the Bruce
boys tried to jump their crop. Bruce
had advanced money to the negroes and
told them that they would have to return
to work or make the debt good. When
found the negroes were with party OF
friends and boldly told Bruce they would
do neither, and that he could not make
them.
Bruce went to collect a posse OF
friends. While searching for the negroes
two whites were ambushed and fired
upon. Craft fell mortally wounded.
The white men returned the fire and In
turn killed several OF their assailants,
pursuing the negroes wherever found.
The tnfuriaIed whites then determined
to wipe out all suspects.

charge of the improvements of the Po-
tomac River. today submitted to General

new specifications for the highway bridge
which is to be built across the Potomac

PARIS, May 16.-Sybil Sanderson. the
well-known opera singer. died here at 4
o'clock this morning. severe attack
of grip is given as the cause Of her
death.

derson's closest friend, describes the
death scene as follows:
Since Thursday evening Sibyl had re-
manned unconscious and was periodi-
cally racked with horrible pains. Her
eyes for the greater part of the time
were wide open, but staring into space
and she recognized none of the dear
ones by her bedside.
Yesterday evening the watchers by
her bedside saw signs of a change in
her condition, and the doctor, who was
hastily summoned, pronounced her Con
dition hopeless. Sibyl mercifully re-
gained serenity before her death came
although she gave no evidence of con-
sciousness. She passed away quietly IL

died. a year or SO later her inclina-
tions again called Miss Sanderson to the
stage, and She reappeared al the Opera

CHIEF LORENZO NOT
POLITICAL OFFENDER
Herran Says Indian Was
Merely a Thief.
EXECUTED FOR HIS CRIMES
Escaped From Custody of Captain
Marmaduke on Board Colom-
bian Warship.
EXECUTED FOR HIS GRIMES

TIE execution in Panama yesterday of
Victoriano Lorenzo. for a long time one
of the revolutionary leaders in Colom-
bia, has oecasioned widespread comment.
Lorenzo was sentenced by a court
martial to be shot. for crimes committed
by him and his band Press dispatches
referred TO him as a political prisoner.
but this is denied emphatically by Dr.
Herran, the Colombian charge d'anaires
in Washington.
Lorenzo was an Indian chief" said
DR.. Herran today, "and exercised power
over several hundred people in the dis
trict between Panama and Costa Rica
That section was a hotbed OF revolu-
tionists, and he created a great deal of
trouble. But the crimes for which he
was executed occurred long before his
participation in the rebellion.
A Career of Crime.
In brief, his career of the past few
years included long period of depreda-
ticns. in consequence OF which he was
put into the penitentiary in Panama He
had been incarcerated but a short time
when he managed TO escape. Thereupon
he plunged into the war and gave great
assistance TO the revolutionists, as he
was crafty and daring and exercised
full sway over his people.
Finally Captured.
After a time he was captured. and for
safekeeping was put on board var
vessel commanded by Captain Marina
duke, Of the Missouri family Of that
name. In spite of the iatter's vigilance,
and the fact that his vessel was manned
by picked crew, Lorenzo again es-
capped. He always controlled sums OF
money and the only explanation ever
suggested was that his friends in the
tribe made good use of 1t.
Not Tried for Political Crimes.
After his second escape Lorenzo was
again captured and strongly guarded.
He was tried for the crimes committed
before the revolution, for which he was
originally held in the penitentiary.
These crimes were OF a wholesale sort
and OF a revolving nature. Efforts to
have the death sentence committed were
unavailing. and the death penalty has
been inflicted. the press dispatches say.
His execution. as will be seen, was not,
| therefore. for political crimes in con-
nection with the recent revolution"

THINKS CANDIDATE SHOULD
REPRESENT ALL FACTIONS

Representative H. S. Maynard, Of
Portsmouth, Va. arrived at the New
Willard Hote! this snornine. and spent
the day attending to the affairs OF his
constituents in the departments.
He had nothing to say concerning the
political situation in Virginia. In re-
gard to national affairs. he said:
LAS in the past. Virginia will sup
port Loyalty any candidate nominated
by the Democratic party. It is generally
believed, however, that the candidate
chosen should represent the main poiEts
of the views of both Mr.. Cleveland and
Mr.. Bryan. Such candidate would have
a better chance of election than a man
representing only one wing of the
party"

President Roosevelt does not heed Por-

and his firm refusal to interfere with the
action of the courts has caused a pro-
nounced decrease in the number of petit
tions for pardons.
An examination of the records OF the
Department of Justice shows that petit
tions for pardons are now coming in at a
rate which will bring the total for the
fiscal year ending with next June up to
500. Last year the number received for
the twelve months ending with June
was 672

In the last fiscal year President Nc
