a warm tribute to Lord Kitchener, aa a
oldler and a stateman.
Joha Dlllea Leads OppMltlra.
John Dillon, Irish nationalist, led the
oppoaitioa In behalf of ths nationalists.
Mr. Dillon aaid he and hla frienda eb
aolutely objected to the vote, becauae
they were opposed to the policy of the
war in South Africa and the conduct of
the campaign, which involved wholesale de
valuation of the country, tbe burning of
farms and aaciinoe of Ufa.
- William Redmond, Irish nationalist,
cauaad a scene of (Teat disorder by remark
ing that Lord Kitchener would go flown to
history aa a general who had "made war
on women and children.' Thla remark
called forth loud cries of "Withdraw" and
appeals to the chairman to caU Mr. Red
mond to order. The chairman aaid the
expression uaed was not dlaorderty, but a
majority of the house refused to listen
Any further to Mr. Redmond and inter
rupted him with all kinds of shouts.
Mr. Redmond aaid that he desired to re
peat that Lord Kitchener was responsible
lor the death of 11,000 children and that he
had warred on women and children. That
was his absolute conviction and he refused
to withdraw the words. The country waa
living in aa atmosphere of hypocricy. When
at man spoke the truth he was gagged,
edmaad'a Hot Chat.
During his speech Mr. Kedmond Indulged
to considerable violence of language and
had ta be refreshed by a drink brought by a
friend. He said that an additional reason
why he objected to the vote waa bee us
Lord Kitchener had violated the tomb of
the Mahdi at Khartonm and asserted that
Lord hvitcheaer and Lord Roberta during
the Booth African war had been guilty of
snore disgraceful conduct than any of the
Other general a.
Then turning te the ministerial benches
Mr. Kedmond shouted, "Ten allow the wo
men and children of soldiers te starve la

This statement waa greeted with ahouta

an indication of hostilities to the Catholic
church, hut declared, that such a read
justment was merely a necessity under the
American constitution. Governor Taft re
ferred to the prosierlty and the freedom
of the Roman Catholic church in the
Vnlted States and cited these conditions
as an assurance that tbe Vatican had noth
ing to fear from tbe extension of the au
thority of the I'nlted States over the Phil
ippine inlands.
Replying to Judge Taft, the pontiff ex
pressed the greatest pride in the R.omas

It seems that M. Caches will be premier

also be given portfolios.
While the appointments of most cf these
last named are considered certain, there is
some doubt regarding the selection of M.

minister of finanoe. This doubt arises from
M. Rouvler'a position on the income tax

In any event M. Combes seems deter

tbe Nicaragua route. Mr. Mitchell sup
ported tbe Hepburn bill for the construc
tion o? the canal by the Nicaragua route.
Seldom has a senator been accorded a
more attentive hearing than that given Mr.
Ktnna. The Panama route he considered,
much to be preferred to the Nicaragua
route as 1t provided an lnter-oceanic water
wav much shorter and one that could be
traversed at less expense than the Nica
ragua route. He maintained that the
Ccited States was to build the canal to
sccommodste the commerce of the world
and said that fart must be taken Into con
sideration. Mr. Mitchell urged that unless the Nica
ragua route was deiernilned upon definitely
by congress it would mean the Indefinite
and perhaps the ultimate postponement
of all canal 1 rein 1st ion. He insisted that
tbe Nlcararuan route was entirely feasi
ble and practicable, while the Panama route

Vkavat (ialrkeat Trana.lt.
Mr. Hanna in his canal speech said the
American people having become accustomed
te the rapid transit of the railroads, now
demanded quicker transportation on tbe
seas. Tbe experimental stage had been
parsed, and tbe cuestlon presented was
that of the le&t route by which tbe canal
was to be constructed. Mr. Hanns said he
had shared at first in tbe common belief
that tbe Nicaragua route waa tbe only
cue to be considered. Tbe Tntted States
had been deterred from embarking on that
project and in the light of events the fates
seemed to him to hsve interfered to pre
vent us from making a mistake. The Pana
ma route was only forty-nine miles long
while that of Nicaragua was IBS miles in
length.
Tou build your canal. said he, "to pro
vide for the passaee of ships from ocean
to ocean in the least possible time and
with the least expense."
"We are to build this -canal for the
world," said he. "We are to build a canal
for the commercial trade of the world, and
we owl take into account tbe business at
tracted to it from the world."
ftetemlr Dietarfcaaoea a Drawback.
Mr. Hanna referred to the seismic1 dis
turbances In the canal region and sug
gested that tboee disturbances ought to
cause the American congress to pause and
consider the suggested dangers seriously.
He maintained that the cost of the Nic
aragua canal would be immensely greater
in point of construction and operation than
tbe Panama canal and said he was pre
pared to demonstrate thst the Nicaragua
canal could not be operated at nlcht. Mr.
Hanna said that in many respects the same
conditions applied to both the Nicaragua
and Panama canals.
Discussing the Spooner substitute, he de
nied empathically that it waa a subterfuge
Intended to delay and procrastinate.
Mr. Hanna, after speaking an hour and
a quarter, pleaded fatigue and, saying be
would continue tomorrow, yielded the floor
to Mr. Mitchell (Ore.), another member of
tbe lnteroceanic canal committee.
The Oregon senator declared that tbe con
struction of the canal was demanded by the
American people i a tone that could not be
misunderstood. He asserted that unless the
Hepburn bill were accepted it would mean
tbe indefinite postponement of any canal
legislation and tbe possible defeat of the
canal project. He maintained that the Nic
aragua route was absolutely feasible and
practicable.
A bill appropriating $ftt),Df0 for the com
pletion of a lighthouse and fog signals In
the Patapsco river, Maryland, was passed.

WASHINGTON. June h. The house today
proceeded without preliminary business
with the consideration of the anti-anarchy
bill. Mr. Sibley of Pennsylvania, the first
speaker, earnestly favored the passage of
tbe bill. In the course of his remarks Mr.
Sibley aaid:
When loring hands ronelgnefi to mother
earth the mortal remains of William Me
Klnley that sense of Justine which is ao
predominant in American character demon
strated in unnilKtbkabie terms that there
should tie made me clear and distinct
declaration tliat those who plotted treason
to tbe government and advocated murder
of ruler should find that a land eurtc:tid
by the blood of patriots and martyr is too
small to hold those who should conspire
for Its overthrow The patriotism of our
nation believed thai airnovt the first act
of the American conpwn would be ao to
legiHiate Uial in the future neither a
Jonaiic Moat nor an Emma Goldman, the
more responsible author of such crime,
should fra; punishment.
In closing he said:
In the strength of our purpose and en
dowed with th co j rare of our convictions
we will send to auarchy aud all its brood
ttw meaaage that Gartteid once delivered
when ujkiu the death of Lincoln thin nation
was plunged in panic and oeepair. "God
reigns aud ths government ai Washington
still lives."
Mr. Sibley was warmly applauded when
he concluded.
Mr. Loud of California opposed this bill. He
said he sympathised with the motives which
prompted the proposed legislation, but
nevertheless he believed congress waa about
to act upon impulse. If the matter went
over until the next eeasiaa he did not think
it would ever be heard of again. If he
could bring himself to believe that there
was a word or line in the bill which would
protect tbe lift of the president hs would
accept the remainder, had as it waa.
The hill was unnecessary, bs declared.
No assassin of the president had ever es
caped the death penalty and oe one ever
would. Mr. Loud referred la his re
marks te the intemperate criticism of the
president sometimes Indulged in by public

tended to inflame the public anlnd. and

We shall not attempt to vacate this In

packer will henceforth carry on his busi

and will not consult credits and price lisle
of other firms before preparing his own.
No attempt, direct or indirect, open or

WTLKESBARRE, Pa., June l The atten
tion of the ctriking miners today w-as
turned toward the While House at Wash
ington. A new hope has arisen in tbe
breasts of tbe men that tbe president of
the Vnlted States, at the suggestion of
tbe New Tork Board of Trade, may take
up the task of attempting to bring miner
and mine owner together.
There is a strong belief here that Presi
dent Roosevelt will take up tbe matter and
try to woik out a solution of the problem.
Mine workers about striae headquarters
feel that the great roal companies can
not turn a deaf ear to tbe thief magis
trate, and that if he can be prevailed upon
to step into the breaih it is not improb
able that the operators would recede from
the stand tbey have taken. Tbe miners,
it is known, are willing to arbitrate.
President Mitchell had nothing to say
when aprroached os the new move te have
the president take a hand Is the settle
ment of tbe strike.
Mill Lemtas: E-BgiBeera.
The coal companies continue to lose en
gineers, firemen and pumpmen. Many of
the men w ho are now quitting are doing
so through fear of bod.ly harm. Reports
come into WilkeBbarre almost hourly of
men on their way to or from the mines
being attacked. Tbe attacking parties in
most cases are boys and young men and
tbeir favorite method is throwing atones.
Several men have been hurt, but aa yet
no serious injuries have been inflicted os
anyone.
The coal and iron police, of whom there
are more than S.000 in tbe field, are keep
ing very quiet, remaining Is seclusion
within the lines of company property. Tbe
thief of the coal and Iron police of one
big company aaid today:
If there is going to be any trouble the
strikers must start it. So long as they
remain on the ousiue of the company lines
there will he no disturbances, but we will
not be responsible lor what happens if the
miners cross the line.
The entire Wyoming valley is very quiet
today.
Strikers MaVe Demoxtstratioa.
SCRANTON. Pa.. June 5. The Lacka
wanna valley had It first cemonstration
against the working engineers, firemen and
pump runners today. No serious disorder
attended It, but it was efiective in inducing
a large number of these men to give up
their employment ai ibe mines in and
about Olyphant. where Ui Delaware A- Hud
son company had been fairly aucressful in
keeping its steam plants in operation.
The march was the result of a meeting
last night of the five local unions of that
section, and began shortly after t o'clock
this morning, the marchers intercepting ths
men going to the day shift or returning
