CANADA'S VIEW OF TARIFF PLAN.
One Montreal Paper Favorable. Another
Says the Scheme VIII Fail.

MONTREAL, Quebec, May 29.-The Montreal
Star to-day, commenting on Mr.. Chamber
lain's speech in the British House of Com
mons, says the debate shows that the Colo
NAL Secretary is in perfect accord with his
colleagues upon the question of preferential
trade within the empire The Balfour
administration has evidently emancpated
itself from the domination Of cant phrases
and of so-called principles which have no
application to the present economic situa
ton of the United Kingdom.
The Star argues that even il there were no
colonies in existence the people Of the United
Kingdom would soon have to consider the
question of modifying their extreme views
upon the subject Of free trade When the
period of worldwide depression arrives,
England will scarcely be able to control
her own market, to say nothing of export
ing sufficient manufactured articles to pay
for her food supply.
The country needs trade policy which
will enable it to discriminate between its
friends and foes to meet the commercial
hostility. The union of the Colonies and
the mother country would simply place the
British Government in q strong position
to negotiate with foreign Governments
for fairer treatment than the United King
dom is now getting. united empire
might be nucleus OF commercial fedora
ton outside OF which few countries could
afford to remain.
The Montreal Witness, independent Lib
eral. discussing Mr.. Chamberlain's pref
erential suggestion. argues that whether
the tax on bread will benefit the Colonies
or the landed classes who have always
wanted 1t remains to he seen.
1t characterizes the suggestion that the
workingmen will get more than the adj
ditional cost of food in old age pensions
and other social reforms as absurd, and
does not consider it possible that the people
of Great Britain will ever consent to change.
1t argues that il low tax ia placed on
foreign imports and Colonial products
enter free the latter will soon capture the
entire British market and asks where the
talked-of extra revenue will come from.
The Witness continues:
Free trade within the empire is the
only solution OF problem that ia exercising
the mind of Mr.. Chamberlain. We hope
this happy contamination will be attained.
In the meantime. Mr.. Chamberlain scheme
and hs Of old pnsons and
dear bread will never do"

MANILA, May 20.-The investigation of
the records OF the Workingmens Union,
which were seized tho other day by the
Attorney General, because the association
had not complied with the law requiring
all organizations Of this kind to submit
annual financial statements to the Insular
Treasurer. has resulted in startling de-
velopments.
Gomez. the president of the union. who
Ia also president of the Nationalist party.
WAS accused some time ago of using the
funds Of the union to aid the ladrones in
several provinces. Afterward he offered
to secure the surrender of a leading ladrone
General on certain conditions, which were
rejected by Gov. Taft.
AS result Of the investigation OF she
unions records, Gomez has been arrested
and committed to Jail, bail being refused.
All the documents found at his residence
and Office were seized, and he and his chief
assistants are detained on four serious
charges-that Of directing an illegal asso-
citation contrary to public morals. misap
propriating benefit funds, selling stock
in an alleged corporation. which had not

Gomez was abroad for fifteen years. He
returned and combined with De Los Reyes
Of the Filipino Union. He has been preach
ing the doctrine Of political Independence
OF the islands and has been indulging in
agitations and urging the production of
seditious plays. During the last six months
he has cleverly conspired with Guillermo
and other ladrones in keeping the outlaws
informed of the mo vements of the constab
ulary and has furnished aid and supplies
to the bandits from his headquarters in
Manila. He founded newspaper, became
labor dictator, set the scale of wages and
called for strikes and made or expelled
members.
He was not disturbed by the Govern
ment until his conduct threatened all in
dustries. His arrest to-day caused tire
mendous sensation. 1t is believed that it
will involve several heads of the insurgent
movement

AGAINST CHAMBERLAIN.
air Edward Grey. Liberal. Says Hts Tarin
Plan Would Wreck the Empire.

Special Gable Despatch TO THE SUN.
LONDON, May 2s.-Sir Edward Grey,
formerly der-Secretary for Foreign
Affairs, is the first OF the Opposition leaders
to take up publicly Colonial Secretary Cham
berlains challenge. He declared in a
speech at Oxford to-day that the adoption
Of Mr.. Chamberlain's tariff proposals would
mean the ruin Of Great Britains prosperity.
and after that the breaking up Of the empire.
Sir Edward Is one OF the strongest men
in the Liberal panty. He is supporter Of
Lord Rosebery.
The principal labor and trades-un
leaders, including Messrs. Bell, Crooks and
Hardie, all of whom are Members Of Parlia-
ment, emphatically oppose Mr.. Chamber
lain's proposal as directly antagonistic to
the interests Of the workingmen
On the other hand, G. B. Shaw, a we'll
known Socialist writer, strongly supports
Mr. Chamberlain. He declares that the
adoption Of Mr.. Chamberlain's proposals
would raise the standard OF life throughout
the Empire.
The Spectator. the most influential Liberal
Unionist organ, strongly condemns the
proposals. 1t says: Just as Mr.. Gladstone
split his party by insisting upon the adop-
ton of home rule and ignoring the protests
of the Observation-Disclosures, so Mr.. Cham
berlain, if he is foolish enough to force his
present proposals to an issue. will shatter
the Unionst party into fragments"

refused, saying he should ride in the hack
he had hired.
The family then appealed to the hack in
spector to concede to the demand OF the
union men. but he rode to the church in
the non-union carriage. The union drivers
refused to drive in line to the cemetery
with Mr.. Driscoll, and the mourners finally
persuaded Mr.. Driscoll to go to the grave
by another route.
Three times the procession was stopped
on the way to the cemetery and the line
delayed an hour by the non-union driver
getting into the line.

Special Cable Despatch 10 The SUN.
PEKIN, May ON. Lessar. the Russian
Minister. who has been absent on leave,
returned to-day from st. Petersburg. He
devoted two weeks en- route to making in
spectons in Manchuna and in consulting
with the Russian Generals In that province
and also with Admiral Alexieff, the Russian
commander at Port Arthur 1t is thought
that M. Iessar will now devote his time
to recovering the ground lost through
the unlucky negotiations I'M. Panchon
the Russian Charge d'Afaires, who will
shortly return to Port Arthur.
Notwithstanding the difficulties caused
by NJ Planchon and despite the Russian
Governments protestations during the
past two years that the status quo ante
bellum, including Chinese sovereignty over
Manchuria, would be restored and in face
Of the convention of 1902, the whole question
involving the integrity OF China and the
open door is further from settlement now
and is more complicated than it was year
ago.
Inc husSlHn force IN ManCnuTlA IL larger
now than at any time since the occupation.
The Japanese say that the increased number
of-troops is being disguised by constant
movements, and that barracks are being
built at Iaovang to accommodate an army.
Notwithstanding the fact that the Chinese
Board of Foreign Affairs repudiates the
Russian claims to timber rights on the
Yalu River and Corea protests against
the granting of any such rights, the Rus
slams are in possession of both banks OF the
river and are building an alleged CONNER
cial station on the Corean side at its mouth
Foreigners here await NJ. Lessar's action
with suspicion and distrus,. Political con-
ditions are generally demorai2ed. 1t is
said that although NJ. Panchon failed in his
negotiations with the Chinese he acted
under the instructions Of Admiral AlexiefY,
whose subordinate he is. 1t is held here
by some OF the foreigners that Americas
position has been weakened by Washing
tons Interpretation of the indemnity
clause Of the protocol
II is the general conviction that 1t is use
less to deny the alienation of Manchuria.
No confidence is felt in the Chinese. De-
termned opposition by the United States
in accordance with her recent advanced
position appears to be the only solution Of
the question The English greatly desire
such opposition. as they have no confidence
that their own Government will actively
oppose the Russian claims

DENVER, Col, May 29-The Brotherhood

ton deprecating the violation Of contracts

which are generally involved in sympa-

A speech by Grand Master Morrissey
inspired the action of the convention He
said in part;
while the question Of the protection
Of the labor contract is in its infancy and
education Of the great mass Of the union
lists along these lines is necessarily slow.
still we predict that we shall see the time
when we will regard the contract breaker,

as much contempt as we now do the scab."
Great applause followed this utterance.
