BRUNSWICK, GA., FRIDAY MORNING,
STRIKE
MAY END.
TWENTY-ONE THOUSAND ARE
NOW INVOLVED AT
BOSTON.
Boston, Mass., March 13. —The la
bor leaders have been in conference
with Secretary Easley of. the Civic
Federation, and there is a prospect
of a general meeting of representa
tives of all the leading business in
terests, at which Mr. Easley will be
heard after having learned the work
men's side of the case. The indica
tions are that learning is to he re
sumed by some concerns after a tie
up oi two days, and the strike situ
ation is more hopeful this morning
than it has been since the trouble
began last Monday morning.
Still 21,000 men are numbered
among the forces of the stikers and
threats that hundreds of others would
join the movement arc as freely made
as at any time this week.
Secretary Easley arrived early and
began a conference with the labor
reresentatives or Freight Handlers',
Team Drivers’, and Longshoremen's
Unions, Janies Duncan, vice president
of the American Federation of Labor;
John F. O’Sullivan, fourth vice pres
ident of the International Typograph
ical Union; Frank H. McCarthy, pres
ident of the Massachusetts state
branch of the American Federation
of Labor, and others were present at
the meeting.
Ihe conference lias been behind
closed doors and it is said that noth
ing will be given out until Mr. Eas
ley is fully in touch with the situa
tion.
While the general aspect of the
strike is much the same as it lias been
on previous occasions, there are some
slight changes. Until late yesterday
the Brine Transportation company
was doing principally all the teaming
of the city, as an the other teamsters
were tied up by a sympathetic strike.
During yesterday, however, some con
cerns found that, in order to saw
their contracts with large firms, they
must undertake to deliver goods or
give the business over to the Brine
company. This led two or the union
teamsters to stalt out with non-union
drivers and today several others fol
lowed this action. As those at work
yesterday met with no trouble it leu
to the nope that operations might he
resumed in a United degree, although
it was felt that the presence of the
non-union men on the teams might
cause disturbances in the great army
of strikers.
The coal situation improved con
siderably during tne night, several
firms having taken advantage of the
empty streets and daraness to convey
coal to large consumers.
COUNTIES OF THE CIRCUIT
WANT BENNET TO REMAIN
Probably never in the history of
Georgia has there oeen a superior
court judge so close to the people ot
his circiii as is Judge Joseph W. Ben
net, and the announcement some
weeks ago, that he would restlre at
the expiration of his term, caused
genuine regret in every county of
his circuit, and some of the counties
are yet trying to persuade him to
remain as judge. Since the announce
ment of his Intention to retire the
HANDSOME YACHT IN PORT.
Is Owned by H. H. Rogers, the
Standard Oil Magnate.
The handsomest yacht ever seen
in this harbor put into port late yes
terday afternoon, and moored at
Downing’s wharf. It was the Kanawha,
owned by H. H. Rogers, and which
nailed from New York. She came
in to get water, and will leave at day
light this morning for Key West.
The Kanawha is one of the swift
est crait in these waters, having a
speed of 22 knots per hour. .—The
yacht left New York Saturday after
noon, and laid up each night in differ
ent ports, arriving in Brunswick yes
terday afternoon. She leit Charles
ton yesterday morning at 8 o'clock,
anil made an exceedigly quick run to
Brunswick.
IRISH ARE
STIRRED.
SENSATION GROWS OUT OF
THE CHEERS GIVEN TO
GEN. DELAREY.
London, March 13. —Announcement
of the abandonment or the proposed
visit of King Edward and Queen Al
exandra to Ireland, whereby the min
isters assume responsibility for the
imperial boycott, is quite unprecedent
ed in form and causes keen discussion
the general,-tone of which is inter
preted as displaying petty spite and
spleen.
The suggestion ought" to lie con
veyed, both by the announcement it
self and the comment of the minis
terial organs, that the decision ar
rived at was directly due to the out
burst of some of the Irish membe’.s
of the house eft commons when the
news of the disaster to General Methu
en's column was officially communi
cated to that house, as declared by
hostile critics to he obviously false,
as it was announced weeks ago that
the visit would he postponed.
These critics also asserted that
there seem good reason to believe
that their majesties themselves all
along desired to carry out the coro
nation visit and though they have dif
fered It on the advice„of the minis
ters, they have no intention of re
lieving tlie latter from the onus of
a tactless move.
The Freeman's Journal voices tun
Nationalists’ views, saying:
“The have put a veto on
the Intended visit of the sovereign to
a portion of his dominions, it would
lie difficult for his majesty to reject
the veto of his cabinet advisers, but
it is plain he insisted the responsi
bility should be theirs and not his.”
“His ministers' could not venture
to allow the king t j see with his own
eyes and hear with his own ears of
the barbarous methods of the castle
and tlie deep resentment of his peo
ple. His presence here would have
been a sore enrmubeTam'e to the eo.o
-nationistß.
"There was imminent danger tnat
his visit, might' have converted him
to home rule or confirmed his existing
conviction. Therefore the ministers
in their own interest and tlie interest
of unjonlsm have forbidden the visit.”
MINSThEL TOMORROW.
Two Performances Will Be Given at
The Grand.
Harry Ward’s popular minstrels
will be here tomorrow and will give
two performances, matinee and
night.
This minstrel company was here
last year, and made quite a hit with
the ii’ieater-goers, and will no doubt
lie greeted by two large houses to
morrow.
popular judge lias received letters
from many of the most prominent peo
ple of the circuit, and some of the
counties have gone so far as to offer
him more money to remain, saying
that the county would appropriate ex
tra compensation for his services.
Judge Bonnet keenly appreciates
these tributes oi respect and esteem
from the people of his circuit, and,
although he has definitely decided to
retire as judge, he regrets very much
to do so.

Tn,.oUGH CONGRESS.
Washington, March 13.—1 t is
stated that wherever Messrs. Uaynor
and Greene seek refuge secret service
men will follow Uiem, and they will
be brought back to the United States
for trial. If ncc"asary this govern
ment will appeal to the friendship or
nations with which it has no extradi
tion treaties to surrender the fugi
tives, and it is not believed that ihe
request would be met with refusal.

justice that after Gaynor and Greene
return to this country their friends
will seek to have congress pass a bill
relieving them and their bondsmen of
the payment of the $BO,OOO which was
put up as secuity for their t\opearanoe
in Savannah. It is stated that thero
has not been an important case in
which bond has been forfeited tnat
