Irish Nationalists Put Forth Decidedly Sensational Opposition. William Redmond Declares, Amid Great Excitement, That General Made War on Women and Children. —In accordance with King Edward’s message to the House of Commons yesterday, the Government icager, A. J. Balfour, in the House this afternoon asked for a vote of £5,00 to Lord Kitchener. As a remarkable coin- cidence, Parliament, June 5, three years ago, voted its thanks and £30,00 to the e general for his services.in Egypt. Balfour, 10 supporting the motion, T ferred to Lord Kitchener's rapid promo- tion.

LEADS OFPOSITION. John Diuon, Irish Nationaust, led the op- position in behaif of the Nationalists. Dillor sald he and his friends absoiutely objected to the vote because they cpposed to the policy of the war in So £ ct of the campai which invoived whoiesale devastauon of the country, the burning of farms and sacrifice of life. Henry Labouchere, also opposed the vote. Wilham Redmond, Irish Nationalist, caused a scene of great disorder by re- marking that Lord Kitchener would go down to history as a general who had “made war on women and children.” This remark called for loud cries of “with- draw” and appeals to the chairman to call Redmond to order. The chairman the expression used was not disor- but a majority of the House re- to listen any further to Redmond nd interrupted him with all kinds of shouts. Redmond said he desired to repeat that Lord Kitchener was responsible for the death of 15,000 children and that he had warred on women and children. That was is absolute conviction and he refused to withdraw the words. The country was living in an atmosphere of hypocrisy. When a man spoke the truth he was gagged. Redmond’s remarke were almost un- hearable, owing to the uproar caused by the cheers of the Irish Nationalists and the protests of the members of other par- ties. The chairman replied to Redmond’s ap- peal for a fair hearing, that it was im- possible to control the House, to which his speech appeared distasteful. ALSO "SCORES ROBERTS. During his speech Redmond indulged in much violence of language and had to be refreshed by a drink brought in by a friend. He said that as an additional rea- son why he objected to the vote was be- ause Lord itchener had violated the tomb of the Mahdi at Khartoum, and he asserted that Lord Kitchener and Lord Advanced Liberal, Roberts, during the South African war, ful con- had been guilty of more disgrac duct than an Then, benches, Redmond shouted: “You allow the women and children of soldicrs to starve in order to honor the favorites of your corrupt socie This statement was grected of “sit down,” “name him,” and “divide, while the Irish members jeeringly advise the Ministerialists to call in the police. Amid the din Redmond was heard to say that the House was disgracing itself in complimenting the commander of the British forces in South Africa, while al- lowing the men who had fought there o drift into the workhouse, and that the House was making itself ridiculous tending to celebrate some great feat of arms. After a quarter of an hour spent br Redmond in endeavoring to get a hearing, the closure was moved and adopted, and the grant to Lord Kitchen- er was carried by 38 to 44 votes. minority consisted of the Irish National- ists and two or three Radicals. ‘When Balfour rose to move a vote of thanks to the officers and men of the army of South Africa the uproar was re- newed by the Irish-Nationalists, as a pro- test against the treatment of Redmond. The speaker of the House of Commons, William Court Guily, thereupon appeared and asked them to desist, in the Interest of freedom of debate, to which John Red- mond retorted that it was exactly in the interest of such freedom that the Irisn Nationalists protested. Balfour was then allowed to proceed. ' He sald there was no exact paralle] for the motion. Never before had Great Brit- | ain sent g0 vast an army beyond the seas, never before had she fought such a great campaign without allies and she never had been so aided by her volunteers and | colonial troops, whose valor and human- | ity 5 he_praised. Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman sec- onded the motion. Balfour’s motfon, which included an expression of condolence with the he- reaved, was adopted by 382 to 22 votes. THANKS OF THE LORDS. The Prince of Wales and many peer- | esses were present in the House of Lords when Lord Salisbury moved a vote of thanks to the officers and men of the { imperial forces in South Africa. The mo- ticn lly mentioned the colonial Pre- miers, and paid a tribute to the splendid qualities of the troops, who, he said. contended under no ordinary difficulties against an enemy which had accumulat. ed v stores of munitions of war and who had the advantage of fighting in a peculiar country with which they were | thoroughly familiar. The Premier also said he thought the House had never before thanked nor had such good cause to thank the colonial troops for their assistance. Not long ago | many people in Europe thought that the time of the downfall of the British em- pire had arrived. But the colonial troops came brilliantly to Great Britain's as- sistance, and the more Great Britain's difficulties increased the more colonial loyalty had manifested itself in aiding the empire to defy the hostility and bis- | | terness of all its opponents. Great Brit- ain had the assistance of a force which, | a few years ago, was not dreamed of, | and that was the subject of exultation in England. It was shown that when the country was denuded of troops her naval supremacy ‘was sufficlent to protect her, and Great Britain was never safer than during the period of war.

But Few Disturbances Are Reported From Coal Fields and Both Sides Express Confidence of Ulti- mate Victory. —_———— CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, June 5.—New York’s Board of Trade and Transportation based its resolutions asking Presideny Roose- velt to take a hand in arbitrating the coal strike on a law that does not exist. This action has disturbed the President and has held out false hopes to the strikers, as news now comes from the disturbed district that the miners are now looking to President Roosevelt to settle the dif- ficulty. The President has no power to appoint a commission of arbitration and he can only go to the extent of calling the situation to the attention of the In- terstate Commerce Commission in an in- formal manner. Official criticism in ‘Washington is that the board’s resolu- tions were based oh an entire misconcep- tion of the executive powers in the mat- ter. The interstate commerce act of June 1, 1888, empowered the President to appoint a commission to investigate the contro- versies between the railroads and other common carriers and their employes. It was under this act that President Cleve- | land took action in regard to the Pullman car strike. s Section 12 of the mediation and arbitra- tion act of 1898, however, repealed this section of the interstate commerce law, which created boards of arbitration for the settling of controversies between in- terstate carriers and their employes. COMMISSIONERS IN DOUBT. The act of 189 conferred these powers to a_certain degree on ‘the chairman of the Interstate Commerce Commision, so that whenever, in his opinion, public in- terests demand, he can authorize a com- mission to use its efforts for the purpose of arbitration and conciliation in the mat- ter of proionged.disputes between rail- roads and their employes. Under the law President Roosevelt does not feel that he has any power to ap- point a commission to investigate the strike, as suggested by the resolutions of the New York board. Inquiry to-day of members of the Interstate Commerce Commission developed a doubt in their minds as to whether they were empowcr- ed to go into the matter of the coal strike in its present stage of develop- ment. WILKESBARRE, Pa., June 5.—This was an uneventful day in the anthra- cite coal miners’ strike and probably the quietest since the engineers, firemen and pumpmen were called out last Monday. There were the usual scrimmages in sey- eral parts of the Wyoming Valley, in which workmen who refused to desert the companies generally got the worst of it. No one, so far as known, was seriously injured. The work of the miners’ pickets and the stoning by boys and young men is having its effect. Each day a number of men leave their homes for the mines, fearing they may not again get home alive. It was said at the strike Lheadquarters that 330 additional men had joined the ranks of the strikers to-day. The operators are still able to fill the places of those that desert or are forced to quit. NON-UNION MEN COMING IN. Most of the companies exhuasted their force of company employes and are now using non-union men more freely. It was | thelr policy not to enlist the service of | non-union men more than was absolutely | necessary. Non-union men from the | larger cities are still coming in, most of | them being brought here under’ cover of | darkness. They are sent to the collieries | during the night, because the officials do | not care to run the risk of having the col- lieries attacked. During the day and a | part of the night the strikers are con- stantly on the watch and in a few min- utes can call out the entire population of a mining village if necessary. he action of the New York Board of Trade in requesting President Roosevelt to take up the matter of settling the strike aroused considerable interest. President Mitchell had nothing to say ! when he was asked for an expression of opinion on the new move. He said he knew nothing about it except what he | had read in the newspapers. Mitchell | kept close to his office all day. He spent | the time in conferring with committeemen | from various parts of the coal fileds and | did an unusual amount of telephtoning. He said there ‘was nothing new in regard | to a settlement of the strike and ex- pressed himself as satisfied with the pro- gress of the miners’ campaign. MINES SLOWLY FLOODING The mine superintendents had nothing | to add to the day’s budget of news. All| of them said they were getting along | fairly well. They continue to have trouble | in operating their pumps, however, and | in some mines the water is creeping u slowly, notwithstanding the strenuous ef- forts of the men on hand to keep it down. This is caused mostly by a lack of firemen | to keep enough steam and also to the fact | that some of the men have to fill dual | positions. The superintendent of one com- pany sald to-day that he had received a number of applications from engineers in c}tles cutside the coal regions for posi- -tions. HAZELTON, Pa., June 5—About 100 Slavonian immigrants fresh from Europe were brought to-night in a special car at- tached to a Lehigh Valley train. They were sent to the A. S. Van Winkle colliery at Coleran, where, it is said, they wiil first importation of foreigners to the an- thracite coal regions to fill the places of strikers. The officials of the Van Winkle office will neither confirm nor deny that the new arrivals were to be employed by their compm’w. SCRANTON, Pa., June 5.—The first ser- with the miners’ strike in the Lackawan- na region occurred to-night at Forest | City.

Butchers in Packing Plants Now Threaten to Go Out on Strike. CHICAGO, June 5.—Quiet reigned to-day in the turbulent Stock Yards district as a result of the teamsters’ strike, but the happiness of the men was marred some- what by a report that the packers will re- fuse to employ leaders among the striking teamsters. The report caused much un- easiness among the men. The teamsters are to return to work to-morrow morning. A few were driving teams to-day but the majority were told to report to-morrow. Instead of another day of rioting and broken heads there was peace and laugh- ter as the two sides to the controversy | good naturedly discussed the ending of the trouble. When the members of the conference separated this morning the strike was virtually at an end, but the agreement of the committeemen had to be ratified by the packers and teamsters. This caused some further delay and it was not until this evening that all arrange- ments had been completed for the strik- ers to return to work to-morrow. Mean- while the only teams called for were to deliver meat urgently needed. The others were told to make the remainder of the day a holiday and to report for duty to- morrow. The terms of agreement are as follows: 1. That there shall be no discrimination against union teamsters. 2. The scale of wages for teamsters shall be_fair. 3. No teamsters shall be compelled to work | on Labor day. 4. Any teamster receiving more than the scale of wages stated shall not suffer a re- duction of wages after this agreement goes into effect. Soon after the agreement, which is a compromise, was ratified by the men a report coming from some untraceable source spread that the packers had deter- mined to take back only teamsters who had not been actively concerned in the strike. That the companies would exer- cise a choice in taking their former teamsters back seemed not to have oc- curred to the men before, and on investi- gation it was found that several workmen employed in the yards had recently been discharged. These men declare that they have been singled out because they were strong union men and strike sympathiz- ers. This is denied by the packers, but the statements of the discharged men are being carefully investigated.. The men who have been discharged are members of the Stock Yards Employes’ Union. Their organization, which was formed less than three weeks ago, and al- ready has a membership of over 700, was affiliated with the butchers' union. Mich- ael Donnelly, president of the North American Meat Cutters’ Union, has been asked to adjust the trouble. Late to- night a conference between Donnelly and A. W. Leonard, superintendent of the Union Stock Yards Transit Company, was arranged. Leonard will be asked to reinstate the men who have been dis. charged and unless he consents to do s it is said that the 5000 butchers employed in the different packing plants will be called out on strike. —_— PROVIDENCE CAR STRIKE LEADS TO SMALL RIOTS Cars Are Attacked and Policemen Are Compelled to Freely Use Their Clubs. PROVIDENCE, R. I, June 5.—The street railroad strike took a violent form SOME FIGURES Tells Senate Committee of Sugar Conditions in Cuba. Seventeen American Corpora=~ tions Own Half Million Acres of Land. R IS ‘WASHINGTON, June 5.—Truman G. Palmer of Chicago was a witness to-day before the Senate Committee on Cuban Relations. For the past four years Palmer has been engaged in the promo- tion of beet sugar interests. He gave a list of seventeen American corporations which, he said, have 685,777 acres in sugar producing lands in Cuba, with an annual capacity of 255,42 tons. Of these seven- teen companies ten have on file war claims against the Government of the United States aggregating $9,665,974. The largest of these claims, for $4,177,698, jwas filed by the Constancio Sugar Company, with an estate of 57,000 acres and an an- nal capacity of 21,000 tons. Palmer said he had secured the facts upon which this, statement is based from the official rec- ords of the Spanish Claims Commission and from statements made by witnesses before the Senate Committee and the House Committee on Ways and means. The witness said that an effort on his part to place the bonds of a beet sugar company had failed last December _be- cause of the agitation to secure a reduc- tion of the duty on Cuban sugar and that he later had sold his interest in this com~= pany and since then had been devoting hig attention to the question of the proposed tariff reduction. Palmer also presented a list of estates owned by individuals who are citizens of the United States and who reside in the United States, but most of whom are either of Cuban or American birth. This list included forty-one estates of 366,33 acres, with an average sugar production of 394,495 tons. Of these forty-one estates thirty-five filed war claims against the Government of the United States aggre- gating $13,646,544. Palmer deduced from the figures given in this connection that only 30 per cent o’ the product was supplied the f who do not own their own factories. When Senator Platt asked what had in~ duced witness to manifest so great an in terest in the legislation proposed he re= Hed: X “Because that I belleve if this tariff re- duction legislation fails I shall have na difficulty in securing the means of build- ing at least one beet sugar factory & year.” @ imirieinininininili i @ of men blocked the to-day. Crowds | streets and hooted and jeered at the of-" ficers and passengers of cars, hurling missiles through windows, cutting trolley ropes and defacing the inner fittings of cars. The officers freely used their clubs in half a dozen individual riots, mounted men charged the crowds and twenty-five arrests were made. The initial cause of the disturbance was the parade of about 300 striking con= ductors and motormen. The line of march led up the main thoroughfare, where a crowd soon gathered. Motormen and con- ductors on the cars which followed were hissed and jeered at until a blockade gave opportunity for a demonstration. There was Instant response. The trolley was_pulled off, missiles filled the air and for half an hour thousands shouted them- selves hoarse. The police were unable to gain the mastery until a number of ar- rests were made, which started the crowd in_another direction. Similar outbreaks followed and they grew so serious that all the available police in the city were called into the business section. Towards mid- night the excitement ceased and the crowds, dispersed, the absence of cars eliminating the chief cause of irritation.
