Balfour, brought in the following message from the Queen: “The state of affairs in Africa having & case of emergency within the meaning | of the act of Parliament, her Majesty She has, therefore, thought it right to communi- cate to the House that her Majesty is, by proclamation, about to order the embodi- ment of the militia and to call out the mi- litia reserve force, or such part thereof as ber Majesty may think necessary for ser- | vice." The House agreed to consider the royal | message to-morrow. A motion by Mr. | Balfour appropriating the entire special | session for Government business was car- ried by 279 votes against 4. The debate on the address in reply to | the speech from the throne was then re- | sumed. Philip James Stanhope, Liberal | mempoer for Burnley, moved an amend- | conduet | of the negotiations with the Transvaal. He attacked the policy of the Secretary of | State for the Colonies, Joseph Chamber- B O o R o S SO clear himself of the charge of complicity in the Jameson raid. Arter denouncing the action of Cecil Rhodes and the South | African League, Mr. Stanhope said: “The British High Commissioner in South Africa, Sir Alfred Milner, is lack- ing in the qualities necessary to a dipl. mat in his position. While entirely a quitting the Government, as a whole, of any connection with thesé doubtful trans- actions, and belleving that they are ani- mated by peaceful motives, I am con- vinced that the Secretary of State for the Colonfes and the British High Commuis- | sioner in South Africa have for the last two years been fully determined that war, and war only, should end this cri and that they have worked for this consum- mation during the last year.” The amendment was seconded by Sam- uel Thomas Evans, Liberal member for ] the middle division of Glamorganshire. Mr. Chamberlain emphatically dissented.

KILMER'S SWAMP Roor, MARCONI SYSTEM FOR WEST INDIES Wireless Communication Be.tween the Islands and the Main- land. V. NG’ N OTEL, WASHINGTON, Oct. Lpna sl as the result of several ALL HEADQUARTERS, : A 18.—Satisfied of the value of wireless telegraphy : days’ experience, the War Department contemplates adopting the M“fs';fi: system without further experiments. Should the Government be Sucectsil’ in the negotlations for the Marconi system, it is proposed to erect Statiofs at Key West and Havana. One important effect of the erection r‘v‘ e stations will be to relleve the Government from d(! ndghce r‘)‘cl}(:: the Wes Union monopoly controlling the single cable connecting these points. Astde from this aspect of the matter, however, it Is proposed to canpeot A1l the American West Indies by means of the Marconi system. If the negotia tlons are successful, stations will be erected on the east end of Cuba and on the stern coast of Hayti. No doubt is felt of the ability of electric waves to traverse the fifty-five miles separating these points. The land lines of Hayt! and Santo Domingo will convey a message sent to San Juan to the easternmost point of Santo Domingo, where a wireless trlegrnn13 station will be established, and the electric waves will be sent across the eighty miles of water to a statlon to be located on the western shore of Porto Rico. The establishment of a station at Key West may be postponed because of the vellow fever scare prevailing there. Stations may be established also in Hawaii to connect the islands of that group. : A department officlal said to-day that final arrangements for the establish- ment of wireless telegraphy had not been perfected with Marconi, who is to come to Washington upon the conclusion of the vacht races to confer with Lieu- tenant Colonel Squier of the Signal Corps, who, under Greely, has charge of the matter. The department is satisfied with Mr. Marcont’s assertion that he can send a message a hundred miles as well as he can send it fifty, and has accepted his statement that he can send messages across country, although not so well as across water. It is not improbable, therefore, that stations may be established in the Philippines. ROUTE OF THE W RAILROAD e e Surveyors Will Begin Work at Once.

Special Dispatch to The Call, CHICAGO, Oct. 18.—The anti-Imperialist meeting at Central Music Hall came to a close to-night, Hon. Bourke Cockran of New York delivering the oration of the evening. The hall was fllled and the re- marks of the orator were greeted with ap- proval by those present. Mr. Cock: based his objection to the policy of the Government on the broad ground that one | people had no right to force a government | on another. He discussed the question in | a dispassionate manner, claiming that | there were many reasons why the United States should hold the islands, but no rea- son why it should attempt to force upon any people a form of government to which that people objected. The confer- ence adjourned at the conclusion of Mr. Cockran's address, those in charge of the meeting expressing themselves as. de- lighted with the success of the affair. In the course of his speech Mr. Cockran said: In dealing with the fruits of the late war two courses are open to us—one, the ol course of treating our Success as an oppor- | | tunity to wrest from the conquered foe the | utmost he can be made to yield; the other, to plish a new standard of justice in th d s of natlons with each other by refus. fng to accept either tribute or territory for ourselves and by making the conditions of | sion for Improving the condition | reward than the establishment of free and beneficent governments in the ter- ritorles wrested from Spain, we will show that we did not take up arms for conquest or plun- cept no other der, but for justice and humanit; The President proclaiming such a 50 novel and so enlightened would take a place in history as distinct and conspicuous as that | of Abraham Lincoln, while this country would acquire & moral influence among nations un- precedented and unparalleled. The example of a great country redeeming at the close of a successful war the profession i with which it was begun—risking the lives and | treasure of its citizens for no other purpose | than for the rescue of a suffering people from Intolerable oppression—would produce such an effect on the world that it would be difficult for any other country to make war for a baser purpose, It would be an inspiring answer to the uni- existence the recent conference at The Hague, Our Eastern complications prevented us ren- dering a priceless service to humanity and gaining unmeasurable glory for ourselves at The Hague, but that opportunity is by no | means lost. The policy of civilization and hu- still be adopted by the American en if the President fails to initiate it even if he should oppose it. Indeed, the of establishing ourselves in the primacy 1l be increased, not lessened, by the people themselves in ficers who control our Govern- people, —ay spite of the of ment. 1 do not s any lssue with the executive, the purpose of this conference is to promote unanimity, not to aggravate division. What- ever we may think,of the President’s action, it is only fair to admit that the policy to which he appears inclined and which we condemn casts the only shadow of doubt on his own poli- tical prospects. 1If the issues of the next elec- tion were confined to the preservation of exist- ing economic conditions I don’t think any American doubts his campaign would have been a triumphal march to success. Whatever doubt now clouds the result he has himself created, and however this may affect dur opin- fon of his prudence, it should be accepted as a proof of good faith. SUICIDE BECAUSE OF ILLNESS.
