After Senor Palma's speech a vote of thanks was extended to him and a resolu- | tion was offered by Francis B. Thurber in favor of a 50 per cent reduction in the present Cuban tariff. After much discus- sion the resolution was_referred to the | Committee on Foreign Trade, with the proviso that such committee report at a special meeting one week from to-day.

Philippine Bill Under Consideration. WASHINGTON, April 3.—The House Committee on Insular Affairs continued | work on the Philippine bill to-day, but made little progress.

This the representatives of the House refuse to accept, while the Senators decline to recede from their position. STRIKING IRON MOLDERS Complaint Is Made That They Are Terrorizing Men Who Want to Work. INDIANAPOLIS, April 3—The Red- wood Manufacturing Company has ap- pealed to the United States Court for fron molders, who have been on a strike | for a month past. The complaint charges by the striking union men, and that some of them are afraid to come to the factory, Judge Baker ordered the strikers whose names were given in the complaint to ap- pear before him April 15 and show cause why a restraining order should not be is- sued. He said to the plaintiff: 1 want you to change your bill of complain 1 want you to include in it a prayer for dam- ages. It dops not matter whether these men bave any property or not. I will appoint & special master to fix the damages and if you secure judgment against these strikers, offi- cers can, if the men are caught in bed, take away their clothing. They can have no prop- erty exempt under the State laws. The judg- ment will keep them in insolvency as long as they live, or until the judgment is paid. Things have come to a pretty pass when the city of Indianapolis will not give the men who want to work protection from men who do not want to work. ol ST e Hangs Himself in a Laundry.

MORE LIBERL One Edict Discourages 0Old Custom of Foot- Binding. Special Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, April 3.—The State, De- partment made public to-day copies of two Chinese edicts, which were sent by United States Minister Conger at Peking under date of February 6. These edicts, says Conger, indicate the loosening of the bonds of custom and trend toward a new order of things. The first edict removes the prohibition of intermarriage between Manchus and Chinese and is of: political significance, says Conger, as indicating a desire to emphasize less strongly the dis- tinction between rulers and ruled. It also bids Chinese officials and gentry to per- suade Chinese women to do away with the old custom of foot-binding and let their extremities grow as nature intended. | CALL BUREAU, 1408 G STREET, N. W.. WASHINGTON, April 3.—Turkey has piaced the responsibility for the outbreak in Macedonia upon- the revolutionary committee in Bulgaria, which it claims was responsible for the abduction of Miss Ellen M. Stone. Chekib Bey, the Turkish Minister, said to-night that he is confl- dent that the trouble will be promptly ended. In speaking of the matter he said: 1 see by the press dispatches that my Gov- 30,000 troops to Mace- This is a large number and more than sufficient to quell the revolt, but I presume it is considered desirable to have a force suffi- ent to restore and maintain order and fully rotect domestic and foreign interests. The Bulgarian committee has been endeavoring to foment trouble for a long time, but it has lit- tle support and I expect that the presence of the troops will have a salutory effect. This ommittee inspired the capture of Miss Stons, which was effected by Bulgarian brigands. Turkey is no more " responsible than the United States would be if some Turkish citi? zen on the American side of the Canadian bor- der line was seized by a Canadian and carrled into Carada. The Porte made zealous efforts to recover Miss Stone, but the brigands crossed the border before they could be seized. I am sure the United States will be fair and free Turkey from all responsibility in connection The practice, says the edict, is ‘‘an in- Jjury to the good order of creation.” 3 ‘The other edict is in line with the policy declared in a number of recent edicts and contemplates the sending abroad of com- petent Chinamen to study Western meth- ods in order to extend the international relations of the empire. Opposes the Marconi System. BERLIN, April 3.—The Lokal Anzgiger says-that under the existing statute the Government can prevent the use of the Marconi wireless telegraphy system on board German merchantmen, the erection of stations on the coasts of Germany or the use of that wireless system in German waters. The paper suggests that the Government apply the law immediately. Fixes the Duty on Wines. MELBOURNE, Victoria, April 3.—The House of Representatives of the Federal Parliament has fixed the duty on wines exceeding 35 degrees of strength at six- ence on every degree up to and includ- ng forty degrees. Thereafter the duty ‘will be 14 shillings. There are some American missionaries in Macedonia, and the State Department would not be surprised should they short- 1y be heard from. Unless the trouble spreads it is not like- ly that an American man-of-war will be ordered to Turkish waters. LONDON, April 3—A dispatch to . the Exchange Telegraph Company from Sofia, Bulgaria, says: It is reported that four- teen revolutionary bands crossed the fron- tier into Macedonia during the past few days. They were well armed. A party of Turks recently ambushed 200 Bulgarian outlaws in the mountains of | @ Kirzu, killing several of them and ! ing the remainder. - confirmatic The Macedonians are accused of horrible | skinned one all ve, stu! atrocities, of which it is hard to obtain ' and carried it about as.

CAPE TOWN, April 3.—Throughout the morning a continuous stream of people passed'by the coffin containing thé body of Cecil Rhodes, as it rested in Parlia- ment House. The funeral procession this afternoon was most imposing. The coffin, which was draped with the tattered Union Jack which belonged to Rhodes and with the tattered flag of the British Chartered South Africa Company which went through the fight at Massikessi, was car- ried on the Long Cecil gun carriage used at the siege of Kimberley through the crowded. streets to the cathedral. The streets were lined by troops, who saluted the passing cortege. The pallbearers were Dr. Jameson, Sir John Gordon Sprigeg, the Premier of Cape Coleny, and six The chief mourner was Colonel Frank Rhodes, who walked alone and bare-headed, followed by the other broth- ers of the deceased, and Lord Milner, the British High Commissioner,“and Sir Wal- ter Hely-Hutchinson, the Governor and commander in chief of the Cape of Good Hope. Then came the Judges, military and naval officials, the representatives of the colonies, churches and Parliament, the Mayors and the staffs of the De Beers and the British Chartered South Africa Company. Conspicuous in the procession were Messrs. Merriman, Sauer and Mol- teno, former Ministers, and a number of members of the Afrikanderbund. All business was suspended during the funeral and all the public buildings were draped in mourning. In front of the cathedral stood a huge crowd, bare-headed, and the building it- self was filled to its capacity. The Arch- bishop and other clergymen received the body at the porch. During the services the Archbishop made an address in which he declared that Rhodes had faults of wheih hé, probably, was as conscious as any one, but nevertheless he was a great man. Before the chartered company was contemplated Rhodes said to him: “Some men's hobbies are to collect but- terflies and old china. Mine is to open AMERICA'S AID T0 THE BRITISH General Pearson Teils ot the Camp at New Orl_ea.ns.‘ Says This Country Contrib- uted 42,000 Men for War Aguainst Boers, ‘WASHINGTON, April 3.—General Sam- uel Pearson, formerly of the Boer army, has returned to Washington from New Orleans, where he went to gather proof to substantiate his charges that the Brit- ish authorities in Louisiana had, in vio- | lation of the laws of neutrality, set up'a regular military establishment, from whi¢ch their army in- South Africa was furnished with men, horses, mules and supplies. General Pearson made this, charge in a letter to President Roosevelt, who, he says, sent it to Governor Heard of Louisiana for investigation and report and the latter in turn called on him (Pearson) for proofs. General Pearson to-night declared that America had contributed ‘at least 42,000 men to aid the British in their fight against the Boers and had furnished the British Government with 201,107 horses and mules. The men, he decldred, consist of muleteers shipped from New Orleans, some of whom have been compelled to enlist against the burghers, and paid agents and men who are sent throughout the country to buy up horses and mules. He sald there are one British ‘general two colonels and sixty captains and lieu- tenants in (‘r\les Sountry now, with head- rters at New Orleans. Q\!Fhe general alleged that although men are engaged with the understanding that when they reach Cape Town they may re- turn on the first ship leaving for the United States, their passage is refused or long delayed, and every influence brought to bear_on them to enlist in the British army. With every shipload of mules sent to South Africa the disguised British of- ficers in charge of the transport and car- g0, he said, employ a small army of men to take care of these animals, securing enough men to assign one to every two or three mules. The men who go as mule- teers or stable hands, the general added, are of the lowest, classes and care little what they do or where they go. He claims the British also have failed to keep contracts with the men, leaving them pen- niless in a strange land. Secretary Hay has received from Gov- ernor Heard of Louisiana the statement referred to in this morning’s publications alleging the existence of a British camp at Chalmette, just below New Orleans, on the Mississippi River. The Governor's communication is voluminous, comprising statements and affidavits intended to dis- | close the character of the alleged camp. By direction of the President it has been referred to the Attorney General, with a view to securing an opinion on certain legal points involved, and meanwhile it will not be given out for publication. ‘While the State Department will not hes- itate a moment to make inquiry into the ccrrectness of any such charges perferred by any responsible persom, such as the @ cimivisiirieiminiviririeilim i @ South and Central Africa to British en- terprise.”’, Though not a great churchgoer, contin- ued the Archbishop, Rhodes was essen- tially religious. Before his last illness he realized the nearness of death and mani- fested an earnest desire to prepare for it. At the conclusion of the services the procession reformed, a dead march was played and the mourners proceeded to the station, whence the remains, accompanied by. the family, the executors of the will and others, were taken to Rhodesia. The entire ceremony lasted two and a half hours. It was the'first public fu- neral in South Africa which called out such a remarkable demonstration of pub- lic grief. RANKS T00 LOW- OB THE PLAGE Senate Committee Re- fuses to Conflrm Cro- zier's Nou:gi_nati_qp. Unwilling to Promote Captain to Chief of Bureau of Ordnance. WASHINGTON; April 3—The Senate Committee on Military Affairs authorized favorable reports on the nomination of Colonel Gillespie to be chief of engineers and Colonel George B. Davis to be advo~ cate general, and an unfavorable report on the nomination of Captain Willlam B. Crozier to be chief 6f the bureau of ord- nance, all with the rank of brigadier gen- eral. The reason why an exception was made in Crozier's case is found in the fact that he is charged with being inter- ested in certain ordnance patents. There was also technical objection to Captain_ Crozier’s confirmation, the Sen- ators who opposed him contending that the law, impliedly if not explicitly, pro- hibits the appointment to the position of chief of the ordnance bureau of an officer holding rank below that of lleutenant colonel. There was a sharp division in the committee, and some of the members held out strongly for the propriety of the nomination. When the Senate met in executive ses- sion later in the day Semator Hawley made an adverse report on Captain Cro- zier's nomination.” The adverse action on this nominatfon carries with it like action upon the nomination of Lieutenant J. E. Hoffer to succeed Captain Crozier as & captain of ordnance. Favorable Report on Eight-Hour Bill WASHINGTON, April 3—The House Committee on Labor to-day ordered a favorable report on the eight-hour bill, so called, providing that in every contract for work for the Government it shall be specified that the work is to be done on an eight-hour basis. This measure has been strongly supported by labor organ- izations and opposed by the large armor, shipbuilding, ordnance and other concerns¢ having contracts with the Government. The favorable report was ordered without division. Chairman Gardner will make the report. @il g ® Governor of Loulsiana, it is belleved that even now the department is not without its own ideas as to what is going on at Cralmette, and this knowledge has not shaken - the department's original view that these operations are entirely lawful and that there is no power in the national or State governments to prevent them. S5 long as the shipments from Chalmette are confined to horses, livestock, fodder and provisions and the port is not made the peint of departure of a naval or mili- tary expedition it is held that there is no warrant for interference, even if the sup- lies are bought directly by the British vernment. KRONSTAD, Orange River Coleny, April 3.—Acting President _Schalkburger has opened negotiations with - President Steyn, who has been located with Delarey and Kemp, but the whereabouts of the party has not been ascertained. Dewet has been located near Boshof. PRETORIA, Wednesday, April 2—Com- munications” have passed between Presi- dent Steyn and the Transvaal mission at Kronstad, but mothing is yet known of the result. The majority of the military men and civilians here expect more from the continual pressure of the troops than from the negotiations. It is pointed out that once before, when hard pressed, the Transvaalers showed a- desire for peace, but this was promptly overridden by President Steyn. Nothing in the present situation, go far as known, indicates that President Steyn is less irreconcilable than previously. Indeed, the known:facts seem to point to a greater determination to eon- and $7.50, for three days.
