His Speech in House Of Commons
Arouses a Fierce Storm.
Of Protest.
DUTCHD0 NORTHUMBERLAND.
Winston Churchill, Outlines Liberal
Policy of Government With Respect
to South Africa - England
Wants Her Friendship.

LONDON, July 3l.--In a speech Of
great moderation and carefully designed
to propitiate his opponents, Winston
Churchill, parliamentary Secretary OF
the Colonial Office, in the House Of Com
mons this afternoon explained the gov
ernment's plans to confer constitution
on the Transvaal. Dwelling on the
urgency of the question, he described the
Transvaal as the nerve center of South
Africa and said the new country re-
produced in miniature all the dark and
tangled problems of the old established
European states.
The governments guiding principle
had been to treat Boer and Briton alike
and make no distinction in granting the
boon Of British citizenship both to the
men who fought Loyalty for Great
Britain and to those who resisted British
arms with desperate courage.
While the government has been care
full to secure for the British every ad-
vantage they could justly claim, South
Africa's future depended on both races
learning to look to the mother country
as friend. The government had de-
cided for the principle of manhood suf-
frage against any property qualification.
Therefore, every adult male q years
old, who had been a resident six months
in South Africa except the members Of
the British garrison would be entitled
to vote under the secret ballot system.
Proportional representation was not
popular and was incompehensible in
the Transvaal, so it had been decided to
go straight for single member seats.
On the basis of the census of 1904
it had been decided to allot thirty-two
members to the Rand, one to Krugers-
dorp, six to Pretoria, and thirty to the
rest of the country.
The Transvaal Assembly to consist
of SO salaried members, elected for five
years. Either British or Dutch Lam
guage could be used in the transaction
of public business. The appointment was
regarded as fair to the British vote.
Scene at End of Speech.
An animated debate followed the
closing of Churehill's remarks. Balfour,
winding for the Unionists, declared it to
be reckless and audacious experiment. !
He argued that it was too near the war |
10 expect the Dutch to forget what they |
had suffered and more than human
nature could grant to expect them to be
oyal to Great Britain.
Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman the
premier, answering Balfour said that he
lad never listened to a more unworthy
and unpatriotic speech.
An exciting scene followed these re,
marks, the unionists shouting Shame"
gag" apologize" withdraw" etc. !

State for the Colonies, had made the

Firing Has Ceased.

The sound of the firing on the islands
and from the fortresses has ceased and
in spite of the fact that the occupation
of the entire waterfront by the Co.'S
sacks, prevents the obtaining of any
positive news, 1t is announced at Hell
singfors that the mutinous artillerymen
and sappers are still holding their posi-
tions. The outlying island and fortress
appears to be in their possession and
they have perhaps all the machine
guns, quick tlrers and movable artillery
of the fortress.
General Laiming the commandant of
the fortress is holding the main fort
on Commander Island with force of
loyal infantry.
A general strike was declared in Hell

day, All factories are closed.

Barn Burned.

An unusual occurrence, possibly the
like of which was never before known to
occur in this neighborhood, was the burn
ing of Mr.. Sam'l M. Hoff's barn on a
farm tenanted by Mr.. Moses Horning
last Friday morning, while Mr.. Hoff with
a large number of neighbors was raising
a new burn on his home farm in sight of
the burning building. The farm upon
which Mr.. Horning lives is about mic
from New Windsor and the barn was
struck by lightning on Thursday evening
and started to burn twice, both times the
fire was extinguished Gas they thought)
however they watched it all night and in
the morning, Mr.. Horning, feeling that
all danger of another outbreak was past,
went to assist at the raising. About
O'Clock the fire which had evidently
smouldered between the logs and wealth
erboarding all night, broke out afresh
and destroyed the barn, together with a
new grain drill, wagon and bed, some
harness., ETC., and a calf. Mrs. Horning
succeeded in getting the horses out of
the stable and saving them, and the
neighbors saved the corn by hauling it
from the crib which was burnt. Mr..
Hoff had 81, 900 on the barn and crib and
Mr.. Horning, whose loss was about $500,
had but little of the burned property in

A "BATHING SUIT" BANQUET.

Not since the famed monkey dinner
originated and executed by the fertile
brain of Harry 5. Lehr has Newport
been given such a bit Of spicy anticipa-
ton rs IN the announcement that the
famed cotillon leader and inventor Of
social diversions for the smart set has
been engaged by Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish
to direct Fourth Of July dinner and
dance at the opening Of her short sea
son" at the Crossways.
For week Newport has been lying
with its ear to the ground for the de-
tails of this affair. 1t was given out at
the very start that the affair would
possess the merit of originality. Only
today, since the invitations have been
received by the elect Of the colony, has
it become known what Mr.. Lehr has
planned and Mrs. Fish accepted.
1t is to be "bathing suit" costume
affair. All the guests will be attired in
bathing suits. These costumes, and
none other. are to be worn at the dance
Newport dressmakers are busy design
ing weird and fantastic costumes fol-
the nymphs of Americas high society
who will be Mis-. Fish's guests.
1.-The dresses are to be long, with
short sleeves, and cuffs, collars and
four-i hand ties are to be provided y
savs one of Viewpoints elect who pro-
fesses to be puzzled as to Just what sort
of pattern TO direct her dressmaker to
cut from.
This is the first real sensation New
porters have had this season, which, UP
to date, has been one of the dullest Of
years.
However, for time, at least, the
bathing costume affair promises to d.
vide the small talk of the colony with
the animated discussion of the weather
and the Ills to Which the Pittsburg mil.
lionaire colony is heir to.-Sun.
