GUARANTEE TRANSVAAL LOAN
lloaae of Common. Pass. Resolation
Flednlaa; the Credit of Drills
OoTerasneat.
LONDON, Mty . In the House of Com
mons today on a format resolution guar
anteeing the Tr -avaal loan, of $17o,000,
000 Colonial Sec . ' Chamberlain dellv
ered a lengthy. ' '.""itlc speech on the
African colonies.
His remarks were n 'Iteration of
former statements. Mr..,' -lain de
clined to give the price or i.' 'ue of
the now loan, but said the pros, .'Id
shortly be Issued. He exDlalned tu.
been decided to purchase all the e , g
railways which would absorb $65,000,000 of
the new loan and J25.OO0.0O0 more would be
expended as quickly aa possible on railways,
112.500,000 would be spent on land settle
ment, and 110,000,000 on public works. The
security for the loan waa excellent.
It would be a charge on the common fund
of the two colonies, the Transvaal and Or
ange River colonies, whose finances would
be administered by the new Intercolonial
council, which was about to be created for
the puropse of dealing with the constabu
lary, railway men and other mattera where
the colonies were jointly Interested. This
would be a commencement of the policy
leading to the federation of South Africa
which he believed waa nearer than many
persons thought.
The chancellor of the exchequer. Mr.
Ritchie, declined to reveal tha rata of In
terest In advanre of the Issuing of the pro
spectus. He said the Interest and the alnk-
ing fund would total 4 per cent, but it
would tie his hands to announce the inter
est rate alone. After some riehate the
resolution was agreed to.
NEW YORK, May 6. Foreign exchange
was very strong today, demand aterllng
selling as high as 4.810, the highest fig
ures In msny months. Later in the day it
waa offered at 4.8825. The primary reason
for the atrength of the market was the be
lief that the new South African loan will
be opened for eubacrlption in London to
morrow. Aa many banking houses are likely to
participate in thla loan, there waa heavy
buying of exchange for cable remittances.
It ia thought that tha loan will ba largely
over-aubscrlhed and aa a result American
financial interests have doubtless asked for
allotmenta considerably larger than they
are likely to receive.

MOTHERS MEET IN DETROIT
Child Labor la (sanation for Discus
sion at the First Day'a
, gessloa.
DETROIT, Mich.. May . At today'a see
alon of the conference of the National Con
gress of Mothers Mrs. Florence Kelly of
New York read the report of the committee
on child labor.
Tbe report atatea that there la no atate
In the union that haa a safe law covering
tbe question of employing child labor at
night. "What employer," ahe said, "will
admit that he compels bla Juvenile em
ployee to perform night labor?"
In ber report of the employment of
children on the streets, such aa the Dews
boys and bootblacks of a large city, Mrs.
Kelly said these little onea were prac
tically outlawa so far aa any assistance
they received from the newsboys' and boot
blacks' homes.
These institutions, she said, devoted much
time to looking after tha transient foreign
element and the newsboya, bootblacks and
telegraph messengers only found relief in
tho Juvenile courts and tbe catholic pro
tectorate. Mra. Jamea L. Hughes of Toronto, In
speaking on "The Influence of tbe Kinder
garten on Children and Home," condemned
the practice of overatudy and educational
Instructions.
"We are too greedy." she said, "to pour
knowledge Into the minds of the young
without realizing that the practice la 'in
jurious to the body. One-tenth of the facts
crowded into the pupil's mind at school
eventually slops over and is lost in later
yeara. Let ua not force the child to strive
so strenuously for medals ana honors, but
consider that he or she is an embryo man
, .nmig and aive them only so much as
they ran judiciously assimilate.
Teach tbe boy and girl when In each
other'a company to diacusa bright and In
tellectual tblnga and do away with aweet
heart talk and frivolities. Herein lies tbe
secret of their safety in later years."

Into the city from Council Bluffs and other
placea.
All Saloons Cloaed.
Fearing an outbreak between tha union
and nonunion men, Mayor Moores and Chief
of Police Donahue had taken precautionary
measures Tuesday night, the principal one
of which waa an order closing every saloon
in the city until the excitement of the
atrlke bad abated. Thla order waa strictly
obeyed and was generally commended aa a
most wise and salutary provision.
. In addition to the order closing every
saloon,, another one waa' Issued prohibiting
the" sale of liquor by any drug store 'or
barrel house. Tbe mayor and chief had
provided also extra police, none but regular
officers, however. Fltty-alx patrolmen, flvo

situation throughout the day. The union

Vnlon Pacific freight housea never had a
more uneasy morning than that of Tuesday.
Hundreda of atriklng teamstcra and other
unloniata both on atrlke and not, represent
ing almoat every occupation ana crari in
the city, congregated on corners and along
the atreeta and hlghwaya. mo neaaa oi
huslness houses and railroad offleera
watched the proceedinga from their offlcea
and steps and help In the work of loading
and unloading wagona where the freight
handlera had gone out In sympathy with
the drivera. Union leadens raced back and
forth giving orders while their photo
graphera took snap-Bhots of the proprletora
and managers of the transfer companies
aa they drove tbelr huge wagona down the
atreet.
Mora goods were moved yesterday than
on any day alnce the trlke began, but the
traffic waa far from ' the full quota.
Managers of a majority of the wholesale
bouses aald that the congestion of outward
bound shipments had been relieved and that
some goods wera being received from the
railway station The attempt to break
the strike on tbe part of tbe transfer com
panies waa not aa extenalve as promised

Strike leaders busy advising men
to refrain from violence aud men

Some freight moved; small
amount compared with normal
times.

houses would go out, and fifty men departed
from the Vnlon Pacific bouse and about tho
same number from the B. & M., leaving,
one-fourth the regular force at work. As
a matter of fact nearly every union freight
handler in the railway sheds quit work last
night and did not show up this mornln?
In pusuance to orders from the officers of
the local union of Longshoremen. As the
business haa been growing less at the
freight houses since the strike aet In tha
union men have been dropped by the
managers, with a view of having only non
union men in the housea when the strike
began. Consequently this morning there
waa not anything Ilka the full force of union
men at work.
Every horeeshoer In the city quit work
at noon on a strike In sympathy with the
teamsters. The total number of men of this
craft in the union Is about seventy-live.
At varloua houses In the wholesale dl.
trlct the package freight handlers declined
to work aa soon aa nonunion teamsters un
loaded goods or took them from the places
where they worked. An fstlmate of the
number that went out can not be made, as
it la growing constantly.
Jarallne am A Johnaon aa Drivers.
The transportation firms that nought to
break the strike are the Omaha Mer
chants Express and Transfer company, tha
Johnson Brothers Transfer company and
the Bnsch concern. Tha first named had
eight wagona in operation, Johnaon Broth
ers four and the Bunch people about half
a doien. W. S. Jardlne, prealdent of the
Merchants company, drove one of hia own
wagons and Other metrbera of thelrm and
foremen handled the others. -The Johnson
brothers each mounted a wagon, while the
Basch teams were driven by men closely
allied to the company. In no case was any
, violence offered, but tha epithet "scab" was
hurled many times, the drivers grinning
back defiantly, but aaylng nothing. Mean
while their picturea on the wagons were
being taken b u y 0 wh0 ,n

Agent Crews of the teamsters.
When Jardlne'e personal wagon depos
ited a load of butter and eggs on the plat

at Eleventh and Jackson streets great
crowds lined the viaduct and sidewalks and
Jeered the proceeding. Then the egg and
butter handlers and Ihe freight handlers
In the bouse, about twenty all told, de
claied tbelr Intention of quitting. They
wera pacified and Induced to stay, however,
by asauranoea from the management that
no more goods would be received from
nonunion wagons. .
It wss at Eleventh and Jackaon atreets
where the spectacular part of the events
of the morning, took place. Thla Intersec
tion Is a kind of gateway Into tha jobbing
district from both freight houses and
nearly every team in use passed through
it. Tha crowds massed here hundreds
strong and aeveral tlmea grew demonstra
tive, but Indulged In no acta of violence.
Police Handle Crowds Nicely.
Policemen were to be seen everywhere.
They were stationed on corners, at the
alleys and before large wholesale bouses.

pointed out that a aerloua condition had
