been proposed by jealous Government
inspectors working on the Mexican border.

carefully all freight cars coming across the
border, as Chinese have frequently used
such conveyances to get into the United
States in violation of law.
The inspector in question notified the
Washington authorities some time ago
that he had been unable thoroughly to 60
through freight trains during short stops
and he expressed the opinion that the work
could be done more thoroughly. Then
he outlined his plan. He asked for per-

pepper.

II there La Chinese inside he will reveal his
presence by a good healthy sneeze. This

An inspector in Texas, also dissatisfied,
proposed that permission should be granted
him to place bear traps at different places
along the dry bed OF the Rio Grande. He
said this plan ought to be adopted by the
Government.

Special Cable Despaich to THE SON.
LONDON, July 24.-Prime Minister Balfour
announced In the House OF Commons to-
day that the Cabinet had decided not to
resign, despite the Government defeat
last week.
The House was thronged early this after
noon In expectation Of statement from
Mr.. Balfour, The secret had been closely
kept, and 1t was unknown to the last min
ute what policy had been adopted.
Premier Balfour entered the House as
cool and collected as usual. He received
enthusiastic oheen. as did also Joseph
Chamberlain. who closely followed him.
Mr.. Balfour said: This 10 not an COCA
sion when resignation or the dissolution
OF Parliament would be In accordance with
Constitutional practice and precedent. That
Is the decision Of the Ministers
Mr.. Balfour supported his position in q
numerous preoedents to justify his attitude,
when he was Prime Minister.
Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman, the
Liberal leader, announced the withdrawal
Of Sir Edward Grey's vote Of censure and
demanded discussion Of the Governments
decision to remain in Office.
Mr.. John Redmond made the same de-
mand and asked whether Walter Long,
the new Chief Secretary for Ireland, would
resign. Mr.. Balfour said that he would not.
After much confusion Mr.. Balfour con-
sented to a motion for adjournment for the
purpose OF discussing the situation. Sir
Henry Campbell Bannerman opened the
debate. which was confined strictly to
party lines. Much invective was employed
by the Liberal speakers.
Mr.. Redmond. the Irish leader, declared
that his party was determined to render
the life OF the present Government i'm
possible. They would neither give nor take
quarter. but would fight on all matters,
small or great, night and day, without rest.
When eventually the Speaker put the
motion for adjournment all the Unionists
shouted Aye" but the opposition. instead
Of responding No." kept silence, which
was broken by shout of tumultuous laugh
ter when 1t was realized that the opposition
by this course had prevented the Govern
ment from gaining resuscitating vote,
which would have been overwhelming, as
the Ministerialsts had responded to the
Governments summons in full strength.
Whtelaw Reid, the American Ambassa-
dor, was among the onlookers in the
Diplomatic Gallery.

SCRANTON, Pa. July A-John Mitchell,

chances of strike of the miners: ,2.b
Il do not know of any effort that the
operators are making to secure themselves
against trouble by storing coal, and do
not believe that the operators want strike
any more than the miners do. We are
seeking to avoid trouble, not to precipi-
tate it.
miners have reached an agreement to strike
In sympathy with their anthracite brethren
in case the latter are compelled to 60 out.
That report probably arose through the
fact that the agreement Of the bituminous
men with coal companies expires at about
the same time as the award of the anthracite
strike commission
