BRUNSWICK, GA.. SATURDAY MORNING. JUNE 7, 1902^
KITCHENER IS
GRANTED £SOIO
f~
THE HOUSE OF COMMONS ACT
ON REQUEST OF THE
KING.
Fredroon ..Causes ..Excitement by
Making Remak Against
The General.
London, June 6.- In accordance with
King Edward's message to the house
of commons yesterday, the govern
ment leader, Mr. A. J. Balfour, in the
house this afternoon asked for a vote
of £50,000 to Lord Kitchener. Asa
remarkable coincidence parliament
June 5, three years ago, voted Us
thanks and £30,000 to the'same gen
eral for his services in Egypt.
Mr. Balfour, in supporting the mo
tion, referred to Lord Kitchener’s rap
id promotion. He said it bad been
given to few public servants to com
pass so much work for their country in
so short a time as Lord Kitchener;
who, besides being commandcr-in c hiei
in South Africa, was commander-in
chief designate of India. He found
the army in South Africa in a stale
of disorganisation or dislocation conse
quent on the ill success which attended
the British arms at the early stage of
(he campaign, and he executed his
duty with admirable energy ami skill.
But it was not until Lord Roberts left
that the claims of Lord Kitchener lo
the gratitude of his countrymen reach
ed their present magnitude. lord
Kitchener had to meet with unique dif
ficulties, He had erected no fewer
than 4,000 miles of blockhouses and
in the conduct of the campaign had
shown the fertile rajqgc of ids- r<
sources, boundless courage, energy and
resolution, and to these qualities Great
Britain owed the termination of. Un
war. Few English generals had con
tended with greater difficulties 'and few
had emerged from them in a more tri
umphant and brilliant way.
Mr. lJaifonr concluded with formally
moving the vote of £50,(100.
The Liberal leader. Sir Henry Camp,
hell Bannorman. who seconded tile rno
tlon. paid a warm tribute to Lord
Kitchener as a soldier and statesman.
John Dillon. Irish Nationalist? said
he and his friends absolutely objected
to the vote because they were opposed
to’ the policy of war in South Africa
and conduct of the campaign.
William Redmond, Irish Nationalist,
caused a settle of great disorder by
saying that Lord Kitchener would go
down in history as a general who had
“made war on women and children."
This remark called forth loud cries
of "Withdraw” and appeals to the
chair to call Mr. Redmond to order.
The chairman said the expression used
was not disorderly, hut a majority of
the house refused to listen any further
to Mr. Redmond and interrupted him
with all kinds of shouts.
The closure was then moved arid
adopted liy 273 to Dig votes and the
grant of £50.000 to Lord Kitchener
was carried by 380 to 44 votes.

MINERS LOON
TO ROOSEVELT
—4-
ALL EYES ARE NOW TURNED ON
THE WHITE HOUSE FOR
RELIEF.
Hope That the Chief Executive May
Take up Task of Bringing Miner
and Mineowner Together.
Wilkesbarre, Pa., June 6. —The eyes
of the striking miners today were turn
ed toward the White House at Wash
ington. Anew hope has arisen in the
breasts of the men that the president
of the United States, at lire suggestion
of the New York Hoard of Trade, may
take up the task of attempting to bring
miner and mine owner together. There
is a strong belief here that President
Roosevelt will take up the matter and
try to work out a solution of the prob
lem. Mine workeis about strike head
quarters fool that the great coal com
panies cannot turn a deaf ear to the
chief magistrate, and that if he can lie
prevailed upon to step into the breach
it is not improbable that the operators
would recede from the stand ey have
taken. The minors, it is known, stand
willing to arbitrate.
President Mitchell had nothing to
say when approached on the netv move
to have the president take a hand in
the settlement of the strike. The coal
companies continue to lose engineers,
firemen and pumpmen. Many of the
men who are now quitting are doing so
through fear of bodily harm. Reports
come in almost hourly of men on their
way to or from the mines being at
tacked. The coal and iron police, of
whom there are more than 3,000 in the
field, are keeping very quiet, remain
ing in seclusion within the lines of
the company property.
The entire Wyoming valley is very
quiet today. t ’
LACKAWANNA STRIKERS MARCH.
First Demonstration Against Firemen,
Engineers and Pump Runners.
Scranton, Pa.. June 6. The Lacka
wanna valley had its first demonstra
tion against the working engineers,
firemen and pump runners today. No
serious disorder attended it. but, it was
effective in Inducing a large number
of these men to give up their employ
ment at the mines in and about Oli
phant, where Hie Delaware and Hud
son company had been fairly success
ful in keeping its steam plants in op
eration.
The march was the result of the
meeting last night of the fire local
unions of that section and began short
ly after 6 o’clock this morning, the
marchers intercepting the men then re
turning home from the night’s work.
These were taken in tow by pickets
and persuaded to meet the leaders of
the marchers, who finally got the men
to join their ranks. There was no
attempt at violence. The company ex
pooled a move of this kind, hut its spe
cial policemen were wholly inadequate
to block (he plans of the man I: -rs.
The Lackawanna company also suf
fered the loss of its steam men at its
Brlsbine, Oaytme and Malleville mine
this morning: At strike headquarters
the claim is made that the company
will not have a dozen old men work
ing by tiie end of the week.
District President Niehoils also'had
reports that many of the new men, un
used to the work of firemen, are also
deserting the companies.
Situation at Hazelton.
Hazel ton. Pa., June 6.—The strike
situation In this vicinity today is quiet, j
A man claiming to be one of the im
ported special officers brought up from
Philadelphia called at mine workers’
headquarters and informed the officers
that it was the desire of the 7b watch
men quartered in the Yorktown store
building to return home. He asked the
assistance of the mine workers in get
ting the men back. The mine workers
are looking into the matter. The fore
men and timekeeper at Yorktown quit
today when asked to take the places
of strikers.

NEW LINE OF FA&T^TEAMERS.
They Will Ply Between Charleston
and Baltimore.
Charleston. S. C., June 6.—Plans
have been completed here for the es
tablishment of a steamship line be
tween Charleston and Baltimore. This
week the local promote)a will confer
with Baltimore capitalists, when final
contracts will ne signed.
The Baltimore owners agreed to
open the line provided they could get
the assurance from business people
here that eastern freight would lie
shipped via that route. The assurance
of co-operation was even greater than
expected. Representatives of the con.
corn wiio have visited interior towns
in the state have met with n:uc h en
couragement, and there is every evi
dence now that the first steamers will
he put on as soon as the details have
been arranged.
The idea is to have regular sailings
of ships similar to those running be
tween Baltimore and Savajnnah.
Freight rates would be lower' than
rates now in effect and a quicker ser
vice can he provided. At least a day
could he clipped from the sailing time
between New York and Charleston.
The advantages of this port have
long since been recognized in Haiti*
more and the opening of the direct line
would be a powerful business help to
this community.

“When loving hands consigned to
Mother Earth the mortal remains of

our nation believed that almost tho

Emma Goldman, the more responsible
authors of such a crime, should escape
punishment.
"Notwithstanding the facts that the
first recommendation made by tho
president in his annual message to
congress dealt with the subject, six
months have rolled around and for the
first time it is a topic of discussion
in this body.”
