CANADIAN CIRCLES APPEAR DISSATISFIED Declared that Sir Wilfrid Laurler Doea Hot Get Jast Treatment. PRESTIGE OF LORD MILNER SLIPPING (trained Relations Between Sir John Cordon prig; a; and Man Who Tried to Get Constltu tloa Suspended. LONDON, July 6. It la understood thst the rsblnet has decided not to accede to tba suspension of tbe constitution of Cape Colony, but endesvor to compromise tbe conflicting Interests there. After two meetings the colonial pre miers did not (tft "much farther" (to quote one member) nor doea It here seem to be a prospect of reaching any concluslona In the Immediate future. The question of Imperial defense was put up first as being the least argumentlve, but even here diffi culties have arisen. Sir Wilfrid Laurler, the premier of Cape Colony, appears to differ materially from Edmund Barton, the premier of Australia, nd Richard J. 6eddon, prime minister of New Zealand, as to what the colonies ought to do. Mr. Seddon la being constantly em ployed as spokesman, both In and out of councils and thla has given rise to no little Jealousy among his brother premiers. Canadian circles openly express dissatis faction and declare that Sir Wilfrid Lau rler la not being treated with the deference due to a man whoae Imperial statesman ship Is so universally admired. Tbe elab orate manner In which Sir Wilfrid's forth coming reception In Parts has been her alded In the English press, was to no little extent due to a desire to emphasize Cana dian dlsgruntlement. In the fight against the suspension, of the constitution of Cape Colony, Sir John Gordon Sprigg had tbe tacit support of all the colonial premiers, who feared that the auspenslon might create a condition most dangerous to their constituencies. It Is atated that before the premier of Cape Colony attained his purpose unusually sharp passages occurred between himself and Mr. Chamberlain, colonial secretary. Tbe decision of the British cabinet not to suspend Cape Colony's constitution la taken to be a serious blow to Lord Mil par's prestige. The latter openly opposed the premier, and Sir, John's victory la not likely to Improve relatione which were already strained. Some Interesting results nay be anticipated from the visit at tba . beginning of Augunt , of Lord Alvrstone, the lord chief Justice'., and Sir John Big ham, Judge of the queem'a bench dlvlaloa of the high- court of Justice, who was a member of the 8outh Africa committee Of the House of Commons, 1896-97, South Africa. , Mllner la Notified. Lord Mllner, the British high commis sioner In Bouth Africa, haa received tbe dispatch announcing that the Imperial gov ernment decided against the proposal to auapend tbe constitution of Cape Colony. The reply of tbe colonial secretary. Lord Chamber, to the petition tor the sus pension ef the constitution of Cape Colony was published In a parliamentary paper this evening. H says there Is no precedent for the suspension of tbe constitution of a re sponsibly governed colony. Tbe suspen sion should be effected only by an act of tbe Imperial' Parliament and the govern ment believed such a step Is not called for, unleea It la proven that the constitu tion la a positive danger to the colony's peace, or that a great majority of the whites desire that the authority be ab solutely transferred to the Imperial gov ernment. Such a desire could only be con stitutionally expressed by a resolution of the Cape Parliament. It will be neceeaary to pass an act of Indemnity on account of violations of the constitution, and It may alao perhaps be needful to confer special powers on the Cape government for carrying out the pacification of the colony and the main tenance of British Interests. The government waa satisfied that tbe Cape Parliament would take tbe necessary steps to provide for the security of tbe colony and to discourage the racial and political controversy which waa Interfer ing with Its prosperity and which can serve no good purpose among members of a community having common Interests in the peace and prosperity of Bouth Africa. Sir John Gordon Sprigg, the premier of Cape Colony, was interviewed today re garding the decision of the imperial gov ernment not to suspend tbe constitution ctf Cape Colony. He said: "If the petition had been granted It would have cauaed apprehension regarding the position of every self-governing colony. tnee it Involved the whole question of free constitutional government. Tbe de clalon will promote peace and reconcilia tion In South Africa. The suspension of the constitution would have had a reverse fleet."

STILL TALK OF THE HUMBERTS Latest Gossip le of the Superetltloa of the Noted French Swindlers. (Copyright, 1!2, by Press Publishing Co.) PARIS,. July 6. (New York World Ca blegramSpecial Telegram.) As In the case of all gamblers with fate, superstition seems to be the distinguishing character istic M me. Humbert, the lady of the "Phantom fortune." According to an ac count of her sentiments and interests as given by aa Intimate woman friend In Figaro, Mme. Humbert waa an Intense be liever In dreams and attached great Im portance to the vletona ahe had In her sleep. In proof of this the following anec dote le told by a friend: "Therse (Mme. Humbert) was very superstitious. She be lieved 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 ratasthrope la hanging over my head. I need to divert my mind to confide in aome- one. come with me. we win aine to gether, we two. at a restaurant' "It waa In the summer. I was to leave for Dieppe the next day. My trunks were wide open. I, objected. But no one could long resist hej and Anally I obeyed. I passed by her house. She asked Mme. Gauhert for a cloak. The latter told ber some people were waiting for ber. 'I do not rare,' ahe said; 'let them wait. I shall not dine here.' 'She conducted me to the Pavilion of Armen on Vtlle. She gave this order to the mattre d'hotel: 'I want something that is good. I hsve money there it Is,' and she drew from her pocket a bill of 1,000 francs, which ahe placed on the table. 'I asked myself anxiously what could she have to tell me. Thla la what she said: 'When I was quite young the cure of Beauiellea was madly tn love with me. I did 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 a note In my band. I read It un der my veil. It read: "Presently In plsce of blessing you, I am going to curse you." It waa from the cure of Beauiellea. I said nothing, as you may well Imagine, but I 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 father-in-law, a month before the assassi nation of my nephew, son of Marie Louise and Luclen Humbert, he appeared to me. This night I have seen him again. I am afraid.' " The arrest of the Humberts promises to cost the French government, if not ss much as they obtained, at least a very con. stderabls 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 d'aclosure. A second description followed thla, the ex pense footing $30,000. But this Is merely the beginning. Special detective service throughout France and on the frontlera Is costing $1,000 a day, and so far all clues have failed to unravel any thread of the mystery of their disappearance.

English court officials are becoming subject to a new and tiresome malady which they call ."Alexan drills." It Is a species of nervous break down from work and Irritation caused by the Impossibility ot getting Queen Alexan dra to make up her mind on any matter until the very last moment, and her ten dency to alter it when everything has been aettled.

There have beeq other victims of lees note. snd in court circles It Is Insisted that the king's collapse waa largely due to the same cause.

HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF FILIPINO AFFAIR Charge of Ei-Prirate Weir Made on Hearsay and Hot Responsible. OFFICER REBUKED FOR CERTAIN ACTS Secretary sf War Holds Some Abuse Should Have Been Prevented. SERGEANT EDWARDS THOUGHT GUILTY Investigation Discloses Fact that He Assisted la Crneltlea and Later Deserted the Army for Parts Unknown. WASHINGTON, July B. The War de partment today gave out the resulta of the inquiry made by Colonel Crowder into the case of Lieutenant Frederick T. Ar nold, Fourth cavalry, acquitting him ot direct knowledge or complicity in the Ill treatment of Filipinos by United States soldiers. This Is the case referred to by Senator Culberson on the floor of the senste some time ago. The rase 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, Mllea had recommended to Secretary Root that the charges were of a character to Justify a court-martial. The action of the War de partment Is 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 tbe in spector that tbe evidence acquits you of direct knowledge of or complicity In the Infliction of the punishments shown to have been practiced by members of your command. Is of the opinion that thess abuses were preventable and could scarcely have occurred had you exercised that high degree of vigilance which waa Impera tively demanded by tbe unusual conditions under which your command was operating; that your failure to do this Is only meas urably excused by the numerous snd ex acting civil duties Imposed upon you, and Justly exposes you te official censure for neglect ot duty, the direct result of which has been that, becauas of the few in stances of cruel treatment of prisoners. which were of undoubted occurrence within your command, the military aervlce 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 siderations above quoted and to the fur ther fact, ahown in evidence, that in your neraonal and official' relations with na tives, you uniformly exhibited kindness snd consideration for them and worked assiduously and with excellent 'results for the betterment ot conditions among them. In the establishment of municipal govern ment and in the maintenance ot punuo schools. In this connection, and as fur ther influencing the sction taken, the sec retary of war la pleased to recognise the special commendation for gallantry in ac tion extended you by your regimental and division commanders." The War department furnishes the fol lowing statement ot the facta developed: "Tbe evidence taken In tbe courta of tbe Investigation show that the punishment charged by Private Weir 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, alx ot whom testify In substan tial corroboration of the more material allegations by Weir, but state that no seri ous injury resulted from this punishment. It apears that wlh the exception of Ser geant Edwards none of these men bad any thing to do with the administration ot the punishment, all except him being there aa spectators. Weir's Evidence Hearsay. "Private Weir's allegations of severe pun ishments resorted to by members ot Lieu tenant Arnold's command at Calaca, Luzon, were stated by him upon hearsay evidence, he disclaiming all direct knowledge as to these punishments. The evidence taken completely' refutes the charges, but doea establish tbe fact that punishments ot a lesser degree of cruelty, but wholly un justifiable, were secretly Inflicted by Ser geant Edwards and the native acouta In the quarters separately occupied by tbem at Calaca and behind closed doors. "The evidence of guilt sgalnat Sergeant Edwards and of the native scouts who, un der his direction, administered In greater part all tbe punishments sbove referred to is reported as conclusivs by Colonel Crowder, who expressed the view that their trial therefore. If now possible, would of necessity be followed by conviction and severe punishment. He also reporta that such action In the case of Sergeant Ed wards cannot be had for the reason thst upon publication In the dally press ot the fact that such chsrges had been made agatnat him and that an Investigation had been Instituted and preliminary action look, log to his trial ordered by the aecretary ot war, he deserted the service on May 29 at San Francisco and has not alnce been ap prehended" INFLUENCEbOESNT GO NOW President Isaacs Order Relative to I'ee ot Recommendations la Pro motion at Havel Employes.

Including all of the most eminent Englishmen and most distinguished foreign visitors. Nothing has created more malicious amusement In society tban the sad fate ot 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 precipitately to gain a lit tle added Importance, because they thought It the right thing to do. Now that the season has resumed Its merry swing, they are left out In the cold, and their days have been snapped up by their more astute rivals. "Tbe season will continue as long as the king remains in London," said a leading social authority to the World correspond ent. So that, instead ot being brief, this season will be exceptionally long. It Is the desire of the king that it should be so, as he feels acutely the losses threatening London tradesmen by the collapse of tbe 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 tbe meeting of Parliament and the possible coronation. This will save the Immense class of luxury providers In the West End from the risk of bank ruptcy. Yet still they will lose heavily. One Job-master of Mayfalr dropped $40,000, which he has no prospect of recouping, as prices have fallen 200 per cent in ths last week.

TIEUP ON UNION PACIFIC TIGHTENS Both 8idei Stand Firm, with 5o ligi of Offering Ooncestiena, CAR BUILDERS TAKE CENTER OF STAGE Vital Besnlts Depend oi Kew Conferenoe with the Officials, ALL REFUSE TO ACCEPT PIECE WORK Company Continues to Import Non union Men, Mho Desert Shops aa Result of Influence by the Strikers. The strike in the Union Pacific ahopa en- ' ters upon its fourth week, with the rsnks of the union men larger and more formidable tban at any atage ot the contest. The ad dition yesterday ot the blacksmiths swells the total number to its maximum and glvea the strikers greater potency. It Is difficult to give the exact number ot shopmen of the various crsfts now out, as It Is not known even by the strikers themselves what pro portion of the blacksmiths ever the entire system left their shops yesterday. Count ing the Journeymen and their helpers It la 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. Tbe boilermakera, machinists and black smiths are the component elements ot the strike. The boilermakers went out June 18. being tbe first to take thla action. They were followed shortly by the machinists, who did not strike, however, until tbe com psny had discharged most of their number in the various shops of ths system. Troubles of Cnr Builders. About the same time the car builders be came Dissatisfied with their wage scale and applied to the company for conferences to adjuat matters. A series of meetings waa held at tbe headquarters In this city for a period of five days, at the end of which the car builders and officials announced their mutual satiafaction with an arrange ment which bad been effected and the men returned to their work. The blacksmiths then stepped (a tbe center of the stage, reaching their climax Saturday. Every blacksmith and helper in the Omaha shops, seventy-five In all, went on a strike yesterday." The direct cause wss the company's action In Importing nonunion men Into the shops, but the primary griev ance waa against piecework. It had been predicted for several dsys tbat the black smiths would strike and on Thursday last they formed a three-day true with the off)- clals, agreeing to remain tn tbe employ of the Union Pacific for that length ot time. . pending possible developments which might remove their sources of complaint and as- able them to avoid atriking. Kot m Blacksmith at Work.' At 7 o'clock Saturday morning, however, not a blacksmith or his helper appeared at the shops and within an hour a formal statement was issued declaring the strike on. Tbe men bad intended waiting for the arrival of their supreme officer. Pres ident Slocum of Moline, III., but his fail ure to reach the city did not deter them. The blacksmiths at Armstrong. Kan., went out with the boilermakers and tbua have been on a strike for over three weeks. The report gained circulation yesterday and was even confirmed by many of the bricklayers who have been engaged on the new shop buildings in the Union Paclflo yards, tbat all the bricklayers were on a strike also. Thla report is now denied and the men say they will go to work Monday morning unlesa some unforeseen condition arises to change their mlnda. When the first Jot of nonunion men arrived In the yards the bricklayers mani fested decided displeasure at the presence ot tbe "scabs," aa they called tbem, and threatened to strike If tbe newcomers were not taken out of the yards. Thla waa Thursdsy and ot course on tbe Fourth the ' bricklayers did not work, and as It Is their custom to put In only a bait day Satur days, they did not report for duty yes terday. This led te tbs report, wbiaa many of the bricklayers confirmed, tbat tba men were on a strike and would not re cede until the company removed Its re cruits. Nonunion Men Desert. . There have been. three lota of nnnnntmt men shipped into Omaha from Chicago. In tbe first car there were nineteen, twenty having been employed, but one escaping before he reached this city; the second car contained sixteen and the third, which - arrived late yesterday afternoon, held four teen. Of thla Dumber only thirty are now at tbe ahops, or were there last night. Six ot 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 piecework wagea, and later In the day five made their exit from the yards. Ths strikers are claim ing that all of these men will be gone by Mondsy and tbat it will be Impossible for the company to keep nonunion men. 'Similar efforts have been made by the company tn other clttea to fill ths places of the strikers with nonunion msn, but their success thus far baa not been emi nent. Nowbere is there any considerable number of men at work except la Evaneton, where none of the machinists have struck, and possibly at Cheyenns. Whsthsr tbe men hired by ths company at Cheyenne are at work or not la not known outside ot official circles bars, but It is stated at tiBtmirtrs thst a laraa BumW ta t least available. Waiting; for McKeea. Interest centers now on the ear builders, who, sines ths company's decision to In troduce piecework throughout the system, bavs declsred their opposition to the plan and demand a new bearing with the offi cials of tbe road. Their dissatisfaction became so strong Thursday as to lead to the belief tbat they would atrlke within day or two. Word was thsrefors sent to Superintendent McKeen, who was the leading factor for tbe company In tbe conferences with thess men, and Mr. Mc Keen, who was at the western extremity of tbe road with General Manager Dickin son, wired that be would start for Omaha ss soon ss possible. He Is expected hers Mondsy, when be will reopen matters wltb the car builders. Much depends upon ths result of this conference. If tbs car builders strike It practically 'will deplete the ahops and tie up ths construction and repairing depart ments of tbs Union Pacific. Tbey maintain their determination to atrlke if tbe com pany insists upoa Us piecework seals, Ja
