In the House of J Commons today proposing a resolution granting Field Marshall Earl Roberts 100.000 for his services In South Af rica. A. J. Dalfour, the government leader, in the course of an eulogy of the field marshal, whom he compared with such men as Colllnfrwood, Nelson, Marlborough and Wellington, said thero was no doubt that but for Lord Rob erts' daring and strategy and the ra pidity with which his plans were car ried out Kimberly and Maieking wpuld have fallen. 11.000 British would have been starved Into submission at Lady smith and there would have been a general rising of disloyalists in South Africa. Great Britain might have re covered therefrom, but at what a cost the country" was saved from this by the genius of the man he now Invite 1 the house to reward by a unanimous vote. Irrespective of political differ ences. The statement called forth protests from the Irish members. The UUral leader. Sir Hnry Camp bell Bannerman. concurred in the motion-John Dillon. Irish nationalist, strong ly opposed the vote. He protested against mentioning Lord Roberts in as sociation with such a man as Marl borough. Ha declared Lord Roberts had shown the greatest immunity in South Africa and said he had employed bar barous methods and had proved him self a dismal failure. Mr Labouchere. radical. protested against granting gratuities to military men while nothing was given to civil ians w ho were doing something for the benefit of their country. Kelr Hardie (socialist and Indepen dent) took a similar view. After further debate, for and against the measure .Mr. Balfour moved the closure which was carried by 2f.7 to 1m) votes.

ARE AGAIN DISAPPOINTED NO DEVELOPMENTS IN THE STEEL WORKERS' STRIKE. MANY RUMORS IN CIRCULATION None of Them Correct .Executive Board of A malaramatod Association Knds Second' Day's Conference With out Coming to Agreement-Status of Contest Unchanged Men Flub, tine for Every Advantage - Confidence Among Company Officials That Strike Will Soon be Over. .Pittsburg, July 31. "Hope deferred maketh the heart sick." This is ex pressive of the majority of Pittsburg ers tonight outside of the inner circle of the Amalgamated Association exe-J cutlve board who have been consider ing the proposals for a settlement of the steel strike for two clays, without agreement. Hew the members of the board feel is known to no man on thf outside. The second day of the executive board's deliberation was notable for the' rumors in circulation, and for the con spicuous deaith of results. The ab sence of three of the principal members of the board fiom the sessions today gave rise to the story that the mem bers were didvlded In their Ideas of the peace proposals and that In order to satisfy all. Secretary Williams had been sent to .New York to seek modifi cations at the hands of Messrs. Mor gan and Schwab, while Assistant Sec retary and Tiustee Morgan had receiv ed a commission to visit Senator Han na to secure Ins aid In bringing about an amicable arrangement. Nothing . tangible could be learned concerning ! these supposed trips. I The condition of affairs tonight may j be summed up in this paragraph: : "The steel v, orkers' strike against the I'nited States Steel Corporation is still I unsettled. The status of the contest is ' unchanged; the men are fighting for j every advantage, while the companies ' Involved are rtrengthening their posl- I tions as mu-Ii aa possible. The con- I ference of th? members of the general executive board of the Amalgamated Association which was expected to set tle the trouble one way or the other today, adjourned at 6 o'clock tonight without accomplishing its purpose." When ."resident Shaffer was asked for some statement as to the condition of the conference and the probability of a settlement he said: "There will uo no statement given out today. I expect to call another meet ing of the boa id tomorrow at 10 o'clock. I will be present at this meeting and will not be out of the city tonight." Confidence was felt In some circles today that the strike would eventually be settled on the proposition made by Mr. Morgan. The officials of the steel companies who have been acting for the United States Steel Corporation in this matter were apparently hopeful nnd light hearted. The delays in the settlement ar.1 fully understood by the Morgan representatives here, and, while all maintain the sternest silence re garding the matter, they are not able to conceal their feelings of content ment and satisfaction over the way things are going. One of these officials remarked to a friend today that if the strike was not settled he would be more than surprised. AN ANARCHIST ARRESTED In Zurich on Information from Pat orson, N. J. To Assassinate Czar Zurich. Switzerland. July 31. An an archist named Galliottl was arrested at Viediko last night by order of the prosecutor general on Information re ceived from Paterson, N. J. Many documents were found at his lodlngs. Paterson. N. J.. July 31. Inquiry among the members of anarchist group In this city In regard to a man arrested at Zurich reveals the fact that a man named Amil Gallolppl was formerly counected with the anarchists here and was wellknown among them. He was employed as a weaver In the Paragon silk mill In this city. It was stated to day by a member the group that (Jalloippi sailed away with Brescl Lannl and Quantivallo when they departed on their mission of assassination. Gal loippi had been selected by the anarch ists to kill Nicholas, czar of Russia, and had accepted the mission. He was known as a determined man and one wuuiu or- mm-,, to itvc- uyviaiv.- , chances in accomplishing his purpose. THE SAN FRAN l ISCO STRIKE No Material Chauife In Sltuatlon-Botli Sides Still Firm San Francisco, July 31. There were but few changes in the local labor sit uation today. Both employers and strikers are standing firm, and each side claims confidence In winning with out drawing on Its reserves. No seri ous disturbance of the peace occurred. The strikers are observing strictly the injunction to abstain from violence. The employers hold out no hope for a speedy settlement of the trouble and say there is nothing In sight but a hard battle. The drivers for the Pacific Transfer Company were called out today. This will have a serious effect on the hand ling of baggage. The sand teamsters were also ordered out. This new de velopment may put a stop to building operations throughout the city. By the best informed students of the situation it Is declared that the outcome of the contention is mainly dependent upon the coal supply. Only one large bunker was in operation this morning and it Is said there Is not enought coal In the city to meet the demand longer than two weeks.

It was an nounced at the navy department that the letter from Rear Admiral Schley acknowledging the receipt of the pre cept to the court of inquiry and mak ing certain suggestions with reference therto had at last been received. No explanation of the delay in its arrival and no statement of its contents were furnished. Judge Advocate Lemly simply announced that the letter had arrived and would receive considera tion. He declined to answer all inter rogations, ba&ing his refusal upon the order of the secretary prohibiting offi cers from discussing the' crse. Captain Lemly departs on his annua! leave Saturday and the supposition Is that Rear Admiral Schley's letter will be considered before that time and that whatever action is to be taken on the admiral's representations -will be taken at once. Captain James Parker, the ex-naval officer who is acting as Admiral Schley's assistant counsel, today con tinued his examination of the logs of the ships engaged In the Santiago cam paign, and other official records per taining thereto. He occupied Secre tary Long's office adjoining the bureau of navigation, and by direction of Ad miral Crowninshield, chief of the bu reau who is now acting secretary of the navy, newspaper men and others were not permitted to communicate with him. One of the officers of the bureau remained constantly in the room to see that the official records were not tam pered with. Admiral Schley's letter to the depart ment. together with the reply thereto as soon as the latter is prepared, will be made public. REVOLUTION IN VENEZUELA The Whole Country Ready for Revolt Complications With Colombia Willemstart, Island of Curacoa, July 31. Dr. Rangel Gardiras, at the head of 5,000 men, has revolted against Pres ident Castro of Venezuela. The insur gents are near San Antonio de Tachira on the Columbian frontier. The Ven ezuelan government has sent 10,000 troops to the scene of the uprising. The situation is grave. Other out breaks are expected. The country is ready to rise against President Castro. Constitutional guaranties have been suspended and complications with Colombia are feared. Washington, July 31. The state de partment today received the foIVwing telegram from the American legation at Caracas: "Martial law has been declared in Venezuela by the president of the coun try in consequence of the invasion of a revolutionary force from Colombia." Washington, July 31. Up to the hour when the departments closed today the state department had not called upon the navy department for a ship to go go into Venezuelan waters. In view of the serious condition of affairs then and the unsettled condition in the neighboring republic of Colombia it is not improbable that an American war ship will be sent to the scene of trou ble for the protection of American in terests. If a ship is called for some difficulty might be experienced in find ing a suitable vessel for the mission. About the only ship available at this time is the small gunboat Machias, fit ting at the Boston navy yard. That vessel would, however, not be ready to sail for about two weeks. There is not a single American warship in southern waters. In case of extrem.; urgency, one of the battleships now in commission could of course be sent. . MARYLAND DEMOCRACY State Convention Meets Today Nominate Two State Officers to Baltimore, July 31. The democratic ptate convention which will meet at Ford's opera house, this city, at noon tomorrow promises to be thoroughly harmonious. The only nominations to be made are the candidates for con troller and clerk of the court of appeals- At this time there seems- no reason to doubt that Ur. Joshua W. Hering will be re-nomlnated for controller and J. Frank Turner will get the other place on the ticket. As to the declaration of principles it seems clear that no mention will be made of national issues. Nothing will be said about the currency, the tariff. imperialism or anything of that sort, but every plank in the platform will be confined strictly to state issues. Promi- npnt pmonp- t-iCf it- i iinHprotnn1 tt-i'II . neero vote nrohlem Althmmh the leaders will not admit it, there is every eason for believing that a strong dec laration will be made upon this subject.
