I.ONDON. May t The suggestion thrown
out by 81r Wilfrid Uunsr. the Canadian
premier, to the effect that the Imperial
government, without violating lt free
trade, principles, might give the colonies a
quid pro quo for their prcferntlal treat
ment of British gtx1s by subsidizing lines
of steamers between England and the more
Important colonies. Is being seriously con
sidered by the cabinet.
The object of the suggestion Is to bring
about a reduction In freight charges, thus
giving an Indirect form of preferences to
the colonics. Those In close touch with
the government, however, point out that
the British government ha spent millions
of pounds sterling In profitless railroads In
Africa and that this Is the legitimate fore
for a preference which the colonies are
entitled to expect. The Canadian premier
specially suggested Imperial steamship
lines between England and Canada and
Canada and Australia, reducing the time
from England to Australia to twenty' In
stead of thirty day, and in the end di
verting some of the traffic now going by
way of New York.
Botha Springs Sarprtse.
General Botha, premier of the Transvaal,
sprung a suprlse at the imperial conference
today by the declaration that he was un
compromisingly opposed to a commercial
conference within the empire. It was gen
erally supposed he would agree with Alfred
: Dak In, whose views already had been
strongly endorsed by Blr Joseph Ward,
. Frederick R. Moor and Dr. Jameson, re
spectively, premiers of New Zealand. Natal
and Cape Colony.
General Botha declared it would be quit
competent for his government to raise tar
iffs against British goods or against those
of other countries If that policy commended
Itself. lie protested against any attempt
to rob the respective governments of their
freedom In tariff matters.
AFTERMATH 0F MAY DAY
Majority of Mrs Arrested la Parla
for Rlotlaar Have Beea
Relraaed.
FARI8. May 2. There was no echo today
of the May day rioting. Jacob Law, the
man who fired at a detachment of cuiras
siers from the top of an omnibus, wound
ing two of them, and who was severely
handled, probably will recover and will be
tried for attempted murder. The man de
Clares himself to be an anarchist and says
his only regret la that he dtd not kill one
of the officers. He claims to be a natural
ised American, but his naturalization pa
pers have not been found, and It Is ap
parent from letters in the possession of the
police that he lived only a short time in
the United States.
Leas than twenty of the men arrested
yerterday for riotous behavior will be pros
ecuted. The others have been released.
The majority of the newspapers expreas
the opinion that the occurrences here yee
terdsy would have been avoidable If the
government had allowed the workmen to
parade as they do in Ar.glo-Saxon c.un
trtes. The opposition press Is inclined to
hold the cabinet responsible for the action
of the socialists. The Figaro says:
It la difficult for a government to defend
social order when several of Its members
dwe their political fortunes to the ardor
.. with which they attacked it In the past.
The surprising thing is that anarchy has
not been sunk deeper into the masses of
the people.
MONEY FOR CANAL AT KIEL
Reichstag Will Spend Three Mlllloa
Dollars In Work at This
Time.
BERLIN. May Z.-The Reichstag today
passed the first reading of the bill which
appropriates IX.7SO.000 as the first Install
ment of the amount to be expended la
widening and deepening the Kiel ship canal.
Various speakers agreed that the enlarge
ment was desirable, but blamed the gov
ernment for falling to foresee originally
that larger dimensions would become neces
sary. Bom complained that the German gov
ernment's explanation of the necessity for
enlarging the canal was founded wholly on
military consideration.
Herr Leonhardt said the Baltic ports had
failed to reap the expected advantage
from th canal sod that only Hamburg had
profited by It-
It was further Insisted that the addi
tional expenditure of I'iS.TW."). although
th canal only cost 40,(.J,000 originally,
must b regarded as a heavy sacrifice on
the part of the coux.try, considering the
fact that the present canal had not yet
reached the stag of being able to pay the
Interest oo the Investment,
The bill waa referred to a committee.

WASHINGTON. May '.-President Roose
velt. In an address at the unveiling rJ th
statue to General G. orge r McCiellanv to
day, characterlied ns weakness the deslr
for peace unless it could be e.btamed ott
the right terms He would have had non)
of the so-called pe-aee If it were merely
anotner name for self-Indulgence, for
sloth, for timidity, for the avoidance of
duty. The man who woulj do the best
for the country in peace, the president de
clared. Is the man who at need will do la
war. ,
Seek the peace that conies to the Just
man armed." he sai l, "who will dare to
defend his rights if the need should arise.
Seek the peace granted to him who will
wrong no man and will not submit to
wrong In return. Seek the pesce that comes
to us ss the peace of righteousness, th
peace of Justice. Ask peace because your
deeds and your powers warrant you In
asking and do not put yiMirself In the posi
tion to crave it as something to be granted
or withheld at the whim of another.
-lf there is one thing which we should
wish as a nation to avoid It Is the teaching
of those who would reinforce the lower
promptings of our hearts and so teach as
to seek only a life of effortless esse, or
mere material comfort The material de
veiopmeni or tnis country, of which wa
have a right to be proud, provided we keep
our pride rational and within measure.
brings with It certain great dangers, an4
one of those dangers Is the confounding
or means and ends.
Real Life Is ot Material.
"Material development means nothing ta
a nation as an end In Itself. If America
is to stand simply for the accumulation of
what tells for comfort and purity, then It
wl'.l stand for little Indeed when looked at
through the vistas of the ages. America
will stand for much provided only that it
treats material comfort, material luxury
and the means on which to build th real
tlfe, the life of spiritual and moral effort
and achievement.
"The rich man who has done nothing but
accumulate rtchea Is entitled to but th
scantiest consideration; to the men of real
power of discernment he is an object rather
of contempt than of envy. The test of a
fortune shojld be twofold how It was
earned and how it I pent. It Is with tb
nation ss with th Individual. Looking
back through history, the nation that w
respe-ct la invariably the nation that strug
gled, the nation that strove toward a high
Ideal, the nation that recognized in an
obstacle something to be overcome and
not something to be shirked. The nation
is but the aggregate of the Individuals and
what Is true of national life Is and must
be true of each of us In his Individual life.

The president said we are yet a good
many thousand year short of th mlllea
lura and our business is to do our own
duty and teach our children to do theiy
duty In rough work-a-day world, and, ha
said, "we cannot do that duty by fins)

There waa one persou In this country, ha
declared, he put ahead of the soldier tha
really gcod woman, the good wife and
mother who has done her full duty.
"She often ha a pretty hard time, yet
the woman who thus, with labor and ana
; lety, brings up her children is blessed)
among women, blessed among men. I do
, not pity her In the least. I respect and
i admlr hsr and hold her worthy of adml
I ration and honor. The selfish creature, man
1 or woman, who reaches old age having
i achieved ease by shirking duty, is to be
heartily despised and not envied.. Our ad
miration is reserved for him or for her
who has done the real work which makes
turn "

j Mr. Roosevelt criticised "a weak, good
' nature, Incapable of righteous wrath." say
1 lng it was almost as unfortunate an at
tribute for a cliiaen as willingness to do
wrong.
"If." he declared, "you haven't got It In
you to strike manfully against wrong, you
will accomplish but little for right.
