IS SLAP AT MILNER Probable that British Oabinet Will Uphold Oonstitution of Oape Colony. QUESTION OF IMPERIAL DEFENSE PUT UP This Oonsidered as Being Least Augmentive, but Here Difficulties Arise. NADIAN CIRCLES APPEAR DISSATISFIED that Bir Wilfrid Laurier Does Not Get Just Treatment. RESTIGE OF LORD MILNER SLIPPING ' Declared Ptrained Relations Between Sir John Gordon Sprigg and Man Who Tried to Get Conatitu- tion Suspended. LONDON, July 6.—It is understood that the cabinet has decided not to accede to the suspension of the constitution of Cape Colony, but endeavor to compromise the conflicting interests there. After two meetings the colonial pre- miers did not get “much farther” (to quote one member) nor does it here seem to be & prospect of reaching any conclusions in the Immedlate future. The question of imperial defense was put up first as being the least argumentive, but even here diffi- culties have arisen. Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the premler of Cape Qolony, appears to difter materially from Bdmund Barton, the premler of Australia, and Richard J. Seddon, prime minister of New Zealand, as to what the colonies ought to do. Mr. Seddon is being constantly em- ployed as spokesman, both in and out of councils and this has given rise to no little | Jealousy among his brother premlers. Canadian circles openly express dissatis- faction and declare that Sir Wilfrid Lau- rler is not being treated with the deference due to & man whose imperial statesman- ship 1s so universally admired. The elab- orate manner in which Sir Wiltrid's forth- coming reception in Parls has been her- alded in the English press, was to no little extent due to a desire to emphasize Cana- dian disgruntiement. In the fight against the suspension of the constitution of Cape Colony, Sir John Gordon Sprigg had the tacit support of all the colonial premiers, who feared that the suspension might create a condition most dangerous to their constituencies. It 18 stated that before the premier of Cape Colony attained his purpose unusually sharp passages occurred between himself and Mr. Chamberlain, colonlal secretary. The decision of the British cabinet not to suspend Cape Colony's constitution {s taken to be a serious blow to Lord Mil- per's prestige. The latter openly opposed the premier, and Sir, John's victory ia not likely to improve relations which were already strained, Some interesting results may be anticipated from the visit at th ng of August, of Lord Alverstone, lord chiet justice, and 8ir John Big: bam, judge of the queen's bench division of the high- court of justice, who was a ember of the South Africa committee f the House of Commons, 1896-97, South Africa. J Milner is Notified. Lord Milner, the British high commis sloner In Bouth Africa, has received the dispateh apnouncing. that the imperial gov- ernment decided against the proposal to suspend the constitution of Cape Colony. The reply of the colonlal secretary, Lord Chamber, to the petition for the sus- pension of the constitution of Cape Colony was published in a parllamentary paper this evening. 1t says there s no precedent for the suspension of the constitution of a re- spousibly governed colony. The suspen- sion should be effected only by an act of the imperial’ Parllament and the govern- ment belleved such a step is not called for, unless it is proven that the conatitu- tlon is a positive danger to the colony's peace, or that a great majority of the whites desire that the authority be ab- solutely transterred to the imperial gov- erament. Such a desire could only be con- stitutionally expressed by a resolution of the Cape Parliament. It will be necessary to pass an act of fodemnity on account of violations of the constitution, and it may also perhaps be needtul to confer special powers on the Cape govergment for carry'ng out the pacification of the colony and the maine tenance of British interests The government wa: Cape Parliament would take the nec steps to provide for the security of the colony and to discourage the racial and political controversy which was interfer- fng with its prosperity and which can sérve no good purpose among members of & community having common interests in the peace and prosperity of South Africa. Sir John Gordon Sprigs, the premier of Cape Colony, was interviewed today re- garding the decision of the imperial gov- erament not to suspend the coustitution of Cape Colony. He said: “If the petition bhad been granted it would have caused apprehension regarding the position of every selt-governing colony, since It involved the whole question of free constitutional government. The de- olsion will promote peace and reconeilia- tion in South Africa. The suspension of the constitution would have had a reverse offect.” SPURS IRISH 70 John Redmond Calls X te Jelp Forces Great Eftort.

PARIS,. July 5.—(New York World Ca- blegram—Special Telegram.)—As in the case of all gamblers with fate, superstition seems to be the distinguishing character- istic Mme. Humbert, the lady of the “Phantom Fortune.” According to an c- count of her sentiments and interests as given by an Intimate woman friend in Figaro, Mme. Humbert was an intense be- lMever in dreams and attached great im- portance to the visions she had in her sleep. In proof of this the following anec- dote e told by a friend: “Therse (Mme. Humbert) was very superstitious. She be- lleved in dreams. I remember a foolish episode. One day she came to my house and said, ‘I am very unfortunate, a terrible thing has just happened to me. I feel that a catasthrope s hanging over my head. I need to divert my mind to confide in some- one. Come with me. We will dine to- gether, we two, at a restaurant’ “It was in the summer. I was to leave for Dieppe the next day. My trunks were wide open. bjected. But no one could long resist and finally T obeyed. I passed by her house. She asked Mme. Gaubert for a cloak. The latter told her some people were waiting for ber. ‘I do ot care,’ she said; ‘let them wait. I shall not dine here.’ “She conducted me to the Pavilion of Armen on Ville. She gave this order to the maitre d'hotel: ‘I want somethin that is good. I have money—there it is,’ and she drew from her pocket a bill of 1,000 francs, which she placed on the table. “I asked myself anxiously what could she have to tell me. This is what she sald: ‘When I was quite young the cure of Beauzelles was madly in love with me. I 4l not encourage him and he had a grudge against me because of it. The day of my marriage with Frederick at the mo- ment I entered the church a choir boy slipped & note in my hand. I read it un- der my vell. It read: “Presently in place of blessing you, I am going to curse you." It was from the cure of Beauzelles. I said nothing, as you may well imagine, but 1 remained thunderstruck. “The priest is dead. Since his death I have observed that each time he appears to me in a dream there is a death in the family. Eight days before the death of my fatlier-in-law, & month before the assassi- nation of my nephew, son of Marie Loulse and Lucien Humbert, he appeared to me. This night I have seen him agaln. I am afrald.’ The arrest of the Humberts promises to cost the French government, if not as much as they obtained, at least a very con- siderable fortune. Descriptions of various members of the family were sent at a cost of $6,000 to the ends of the earth, even to Abyssinia, immediately after the dlsclosure. A second description followed this, the ex- pense_footing $30,000. But this is merely the beginning. Speclal detective service throughout France and on the frontiers is costing $1,000 a day, and so far all clues have fafled to unravel any {hread of the of thelr disappearance. AMERICAN WOMAN TRIUMPHS Outshines All Rivals at the Party Given by the Marguis ot (Copyright, 1%2, by Press Publishing Co.) LONDON, July 5.—(New York World Ca- blegram—Special Telegram.)—Mrs, Edmund L. Baylles of New York was the sensation of the marquls of Lansdowne's magnificent party this week. All the “smart” women were there, vielng with one another in dis- playing dlamonds and in the latest finery from the Parisian artists in dress. It was known that Lady Sarah Wilson, aunt of the duke of Marlborough, had had created especially for her by Doucet a costume, the secret of which she guarded with the ut- most jealousy in order to obviate imitation. The gown was of sapphire blue tupl, unique, exquisite in effect. But picture Lady Sarah’s chagrin on sailing into the room, anticipating a buzz of admiration, to find Bayliés already arrived with a far more effective costume of the same material and color. It was a tragic moment, it took the Marlborough blood in heér veins to enable Lady Sarah to brave such a cat trophe. According to gossip, both women paid heavily for the assurance that no one would be allowed to wear this material until they had stunned fashionable London by first appearing in it. QUEEN CAUSES MUCH WORRY Court Oficials Worn Out by Her In- declaton and Changing Notio; (Copyright, 1002, by Press Publishing Co.) LONDON, July 5.—(New York World Ca- blegram—Special Telegram.)—Englieh court officlals are becoming subject to a new and tiresome malady which they call “Alexan- dritie.” It is a specles of nervous break- down from work and {rritation caused by the impossibility of getting Queen Alexan- dra to make up her mind on any matter untll the very last moment, and her ten- dency to alter it when everything has been ettled. The first victim was the lord chamber- lain, the earl of Clarendon, who wént abroad 8, wreck after four months spent In un- avalling efforts to induce the queen to com- plete her arrangements for the coronation. There have been other victims of less note, and in court circles it is insisted that th king's collapse was largely due to the same cause. His patience with the queen under the most trylng conditions has excited amazed admiration. The queen is so sweet herself that the officials all like her, even when in the process of being driven crazy by her vagaries.

There is & wide bellef that the boat s already on paper and that contracts have been signed for its construction at some yard en the Clyde. The announcement that Robert Wringe is to be the skipper of the new craft is of great interest. His experience in Amer- jean water has been comsiderable since his connaction with the first Shamrock.

HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF FILIPINO AFFAIR Oharge of Ex-Private Weir Made on Hearsay and Not Responsible. OFFICER REBUKED FOR CERTAIN ACTS Becretary of War Holds Bome Abuses 8hould Have Been Prevented. SERGEANT EDWARDS THOUGHT GUILTY Invest A ation Discloses Fact that He ted in Cruelties and Later Deserted the Army for Parts Unknown. WASHINGTON, July 5.—The War de- partment today gave out the results of the inquiry made by Colonel Crowder into the case of Lieutenant Frederick T. Ar- nold, Fourth cavalry, acquitting him of direct knowledge or complicity in the 1ll- treatment of Filipinos by United States soldiers. This Is the case referred to by Semator Culberson on the floor of the senate some time ago. The case grew out of charges made by ex-Private Weir against Lieu- tenant Arnold, alleged cruel treatment of prisoners of war occurring within his com- mand while serving in the Philippines. It was under that that General, Miles had recommended to Becretary Root that the charges were of a character to justify a court-martial. The action of the War d partment {s embodied in the following ex- tract from a letter to Lieutenant Arnold through the commanding general of the Department of the Missouri: “The secretary of war, while concurring in the conclusion expressed by the in- spector that the evidence acquits you of direct knowledge of or complicity in the infiiction of the punishments shown to have been practiced by members of your command, is of the opinion that the abuses were preventable and could scarcely have occurred had you exercised that high degree of vigilance which was impera- tively demanded by the unusual conditions under which your command was operatin, that your failure to do this is only meas- urably excused by the numerous and ex- acting civil duties imposed upon you, and justly exposes you to official censure for neglect of duty, the direct result of which has been that, because of the few in- stances of cruel treatment of prisoners, which were of undoubted occurrence within your command, the military service gen- erally has incurred unjust criticism. Commendation of Gallantry. “That such neglect has not been made the subject of charges is due to the con- sid lons above quoted and to the fur- ther fact, shown in evidence, that in your personal and jefal’ relations with na- tives, you uniformly exhibited kindness and consideration for them and worked assiduously and with excellent results for the betterment of conditions among them, in the establishment of municipal govern- ment and in the maintenance of public schools. In this connection, and fur- ther influencing the action taken, the sec- retary of war is pleased to recognize the special commendation for gallantry in ac- tion extended you by your regimental and division commanders The War department furnishes the fol- lowing statement of the facts develope: “The evidence taken in the courts of the investigation show that the punishment charged by Private Welr of the native prisoner at Pasay was administered by three native policemen of the town of Pasay, directed and assisted by Sergeant James C. Edwards, Troop H, Fourth United States cavalry, In the quarters of the de- tachment, six of whom testify in substan- tial corroboration of the more material allegations by Welr, but state that no seri- ous Injury resulted from this punishment. It apears that wih the exception of Ser- geant Edwards none of these men had any- thing to do with the administration of the punishment, all except him being there ag spectators. Welr's Evidence Hearsay. “Private Weir's allegations of severe pun- ishments resorted to by members of Lieu- tenant Arnold’s command at Calaca, Luzon, were stated by him upon hearsay evidence, he disclaiming all direct knowiedge as to these punishments. The evidence taken completely refutes the charges, but does establish the fect that punishments of a Jesser degree of cruelty, but wholly un- Justifiable, were secretly infiicted by Ser- geant Edwards and the native scouts in the quarters separately occupled by them at Calaca and behind closed doors. “The evidence of guilt against Sergeant Edwards and of the native scouts who, un- der his direction, administered in greater part all the punishments above referred to is reported as conclusive by Colonel Crowder, who expressed the view that their trial therefore, if now possible, would of necessity be followed by conviction and severs punishment. He also reports that such action in the case of Sergeant Ed- wards cannot be had for the reason that upon publication in the daily press of the fact that such charges had been made against him and that an investigation had been instituted and preliminary action look- ing to his trial ordered by the secretary S war.

The or- der is an amendment of rule 11 of the eivil service code and is as follows: “No recommendation for the promotion of any employe In the classified service shall be considered by any officer concerned in making promotions, except it be made by the officer or officers under whose su- pervision or control such employe is sery- ing, and such recommendation by any other person, with the knowled consent of | the employe, shall be suficient cause for debarring him from the promotiom pro- tition of the offense shall him from the service. President Proctor of the Civil Service commission stated that while this rule met the hearty approval of the commission, it did not originate with it, but with prom- inent membere of congress, who had gone to the president and urged the Becessity for such & rule.

LONDON, July b.—(New York World Ca- blegram — Special Telegram.) — Whitelaw Reld Pyamohanged his plans, owing to the unexy gs rapid recovery of King Bdward.

Nothing has created more maliclous amusement in soclety than the sad fate of those persons who hurriedly cancelled their parties early last week when the king's case was considered hopeless. They are principally of second-rate social standing and acted thus preeipitately to gain a lit- | tle added importance, because they thought it the right thing to do. Now that ths season has resumed it merry swing, they are left out in the cold, and their days have been snapped up by their more astute rivals. “The season will continue as long as the king remains in London,” said a leading soclal authority to the World correspond- ent. So that, instead of being brief, this season will be exceptionally long. It 1s the desire of the king that it should be so, as he feels acutely the losses threatening London tradesmen by the collapse of the coronation. In the ordinary course the season dies away from the middle of July, but this year it will conclude the beginning of August with the meeting of Parliament and the possible coromation. This will save the immense class of luxury providers in the West End from the risk of bank- ruptey. Yet still they will lose heavily. One job-master of Mayfair dropped $40,000, which he has no prospect of recouping, as prices have fallen 200 per cent in the last week.

LONDON, July 6.—(New York World Ca- blegram—Special Telegram.)—The schemes of J. Plerpont Morgan and Charles T. Yerkes to monopolize London's underground transit system have at last caused great alarm here. The London county councll is taking steps to induce Parliament to post- sent to the Morgan and Yerkes “tubes” bills until the whole ques- tion of rapid tramsit for London ean be considered by a royal commission.

The talk took wide range from yachting, a congenial subject to both, to businee His majesty saw Mr. Morgan three times during two days. Mr. Morgan, P. A. B. Widener, Clement A.

Herr Albert Ballin, director general of the Hamburg-American line, with several prominent citizens, met them at the raflroad station, took them to the Hamburgerhot and showed the travelers various other objects of interest in the city. Herr Ballin also gave the Americans a luncheon at the restaurant Pforde, to which thirty guests sat down. Later Herr Ballin entertained thet party at his villa. In pursuance of Emperor William's de- sire to adopt good American telegraphs, the Prussian rallway minister has ordered the extension of the American baggage check eystem which has been experimented with on the Hamburg-Berlin line, and the im- perial postoffice has just appointed a com- mission to go to the United States and study American postal, telegraphic and tel- ephone arrangements.

COMMUTES DEATH PENALTY Revolutionary Generals Who Were Recently Sentenced to Die Will Be Imprisoned Instead. PANAMA, Colombia, July 5.—Confirma- tion bas been recelved from a reliable source of the report that the revolutionary geverals, Ramires, Payan and Porras, who were recently made prisoners by the rebel chief, Hererra, for insubordination and who were tried by courtmartial at David, were sentenced to death. The penalty im- posed was, however, commuted to fifteen years' imprisonment. The prosecution was based upon the find- ing by General Hererra of letters written by General Porras protesting agalnst vio- lent acts committed by the rebel chief. General Porras was then imprisoned and General Payan, who was in command of the revolutionary forces at Darlen, and General Ramirez, commander of the revo- lutionary gunboat Padilla, who sided with him, were accused of plotting with him against the supreme authority of Gemeral Hererra. It is said that many foreigners who enlisted in the revolutionary forces are abandoning the liberal cauee, owing to the fact that they bave received no pay for a long tim OSCAR APPROVES CABINET King of Sweden Afiirms Formation as Reconstructed by Erik Gustay Bostrom.

The report was brought in that Tracy tad breakfasted with a man named Johnson this morning about four miles north of where Tracy shot Policemen Breeze and Rawley. Another report was that Tracy kad spent all day Friday with a man named Fisher, living just north of Woodland Park.

TIEUP ON UNION PACIFIC TIGHTENS Both Bides Btand Firm, with No Sign of Offering Conoessiens, CAR BUILDERS TAKE CENTER OF STAGE Vital Resylts Depend on New Oonference with the Officials, ALL REFUSE TO ACCEPT PIECE WORK Company Conti union Men, to Import Nome Who Desert § as Result of Influence by the Strike: The strike In the Unlon Pacific shops en- ters upon its fourth week, with the ranks of the union men larger and more formidable than at any stage of the contest. The ad- dition yesterday of the blacksmithy swells the total number to its maximum and gives the strikers greater potency. It is diffieult to give the exact number of shopmen of the various crafts mow out, as it is not known even by the strikers themselves what pro- portion of the blacksmiths over the entire system left their shops yesterday. Count: 1ng the journeymen and their helpers it is estimated that there are about 225 in all the shops. If all this number struck it will bring the aggregate number of strikers up to about 1,400, The boilermakers, machinists and black- emiths are the component elements of the strike. The boilermakers went out June 18, being the first to take this action. They were followed shortly by the machinists, who did not strike, however, until the com- pany had discharged most of their number in the varicus shops of the system. Troubles of Car Builders. About the same time the car builders be- came alssatisfied with their wage scale and applied to the company for conferences to adjust matters, A series of meetings was held at the headquarters In this city for a period of five days, at the end of which the car builders and oficials announced their mutual satisfaction with an arrange- ment which bad been effected and the men returned to thelr work. The blacksmiths then stepped {9 the center of the stage, reaching their climax Saturday. Every blacksmith and helper In the Omaha shops, seventy-five in all, went on & strike yesterday. The direct cause was the company’s action In importing nonunion men into the shops, but the primary griev- ance was against piecewor It had been predicted for several days that the black- smiths would strike and on Thursday last they formed a three-day truce with the offi- clals, agreelng to remain in the employ of the Union Pacific for that length of time, pending possible developments which might remove their sources of complaint and en- able them to avoid striking. Not & Blacksmith at Work. At 7 o'clock Saturday morning, however, Dot a blacksmith or his helper appeared at the shops and within an hour a formal statement was issued declaring the strike on. The men had intended waiting for the arrival of their supreme officer, Pre Mdent Slocum of Moline, IIL, but his fail- ure to reach the city did not deter them. The blacksmiths at Armstrong, Kan., went out with the bollermakers and thus have been on a strike for over three weeks. The report gained circulation yesterday and was even confirmed by many of the bricklayers whe have been engaged on the new shop buildings in the Unlon Pacifie yards, that all the bricklayers were on a strike also. This report is now denied and the men say they will go to work Monday morning unless some unforeseen condition arises to change their minds. When the first lot of nonunion men arrived in the yards the bricklayers mani fested decideq displeasure at the presence of the ‘“‘scabe,”” as they called them, and threatened to strike if the newcomers were not taken out of the yards. This was Thursday and of course on the Fourth the bricklayers did not work, and as it is their custom to put in only & balf day Satur- days, they did not report for duty yes~ terday. This led to the report, whish many of the bricklayers confirmed, that the men were on a strike and would not re~ cede until the company removed its re- cruits. Non Men Denert. There have been .three lots of nonuntom men shipped into Omaha from Chicago. In the first car there were nineteen, twenty having been employed, but one escaping before he reached this city; the secon: car contained sixteen and the third, which " arrived late yesterday afternoon, held four- teen. Of this pumber only thirty are now at the shops, or were there last night. Six of the first lot made their escape within a few hours after their arrival, eight ‘struck” Saturday morning when they were told to go to work at plecework wages, and later in the day five made their exit from the yards The strikers are claime ing that all of these men will be gone by Monday and that it will be impossible for the company to keep nonunion men. ‘Similar efforts have been made by the company in other cities to il the places of the strikers with nonunion mem, but their success thus far bas not beem emi- nent. Nowhere is there any considersble number of men at work except in Evanston, where none of the machinists have struck, and possibly at Cheyenne. Whether the men hired by the company at Cheyenne are at work or mot is not known outside of official circles here, but it is stated st headquarters that & large number is at least available. Waiting for McKeen. Interest centers now on the car bullders, who, since the company's decision to fn- troduce plecework throughout the system, have declared their opposition to the plan and demand a Dew hearing with the of- clals of the road. Their dissatistaction became so strong Thursday as to lead to the belief that they would strike within a day or two. Word was therefors sent to Superintendent McKeen, who was th leading factor for the company in conferences with these men, and Mr. Mo- Kean, who was at the western extremity of the road with General Manager Dickin- son, wired that he would start for Omaba s soon as poseible. He is expected here Monday, when he will reopen matters with the car bullders. Much depends upon the result of this conference. 1f the car bullders strike it practically ‘will deplete the shops and tie up the construction and repairing depart- ments of the Unlon Pacific. They maldtaln thelr determination to strike if the com- pany insists upon the plecework scale, In
