Mfe rff'tf'i jTTrdfi Jf HwrtMHI SUNDAY. PRAYERS FOR PEACE ' IN BRITISH CHURCHES With the advent of May we declared our intention of attempting to surpass in point of sales any previous Alay's business in our history. We succeeded beyond our highest expectations, and declare now our earnest endeavor to make the month of June, 1902, eclipse any month's business ever done by Famous. This means setting the figures at "high mark" and means much to accomplish, but we have laid our plans well for the purpose. The past two weeks our buyers have been scouring the markets, buying from overloaded importers and manufacturers carloads of seasonable, desirable merchandise of all kinds, at prices Ion enough to enable us to turn them over to you in many instances at less than the cost of manufacture. No fictitious figures, but the ACTUAL ORIGINAL SELLING WORTH is appended to every item below note the saving on each.

BY CAnt-K TO THE NTW TORK IIBRALD AND TIIK ST. LOUIS KKPUBLJC. BY HERBEHT PAUL. I.ondon, May 31. Thursday's Cablnent meeting, adjourned from Tuesday, was rep resented by .1 voracious news agency as sudden and unexpected In consequence of Important dispatches from South Africa. Inasmuch a,s the House now meets at 12 o'clock on Friday, it is natural that the weekly meeting of Ministers, formerly held on that day, should be held on Thursday Instead. Mr. Balfour's announcement In the House, cu the other hand, was highly significant end Important. He hopes, though he is not quite sure, ho will be able to state on Mon day the result of the recent discussion in South Africa. Of what nature that result will be ho gave no hint. It is probable that he docs not know. It seehis pretty plain that the Govern ment, through Lord Kitchener. ha sent an ultimatum to the Boer delegates at Pretoria "who have gone to consult the larger body of their colleagues at Vereenining. Upon this now seems to depend the Mipreme Issue of peace or war. Prnjcrs for Pence. Prom every Christian church In Great Britain and South Africa there will be of fered to-morrow most fervent prayer for an honorable and lasting peace. The Boers have to consider the horrors of another winter campaign and the destruction of their family life as against what a great poet calls the "glorious privilege of being independent." The Cabinet has to compare the draw back of making concessions which South African loyalists may dislike with the ad vantage of a.voluntary mutual arrangement which will" extinguish Instead of Inflame the hatred of race. The public confidence In ' ord Kitchener as negotiator is such as no soldier since the Duke of "Wellington has enjoyed. It Is Known from private but authentic sources of Information that he has from the first most favorably Impressed the Boers by his good sense, good !"umor and sympathy with their point of view. No one would daro to suggest that the hero of Omdurman is Indifferent to British Interests, but Lord Kitchener Is one of those who respect others because they respect themselves. He has no desire to trample on a fallen foe. 3Ir. '.Bnlfoar'n Lntest "Break." Mr. Balfour's complaint that his refer ence to matters In the "balance" had been misunderstood Is most extraordinary. The Idea, that it imnlicd dissensions in thi Cabinet can have entered nobody's head ex cept nis own. wnetner tnero tw dissen- Vflons of- not, no Cabinet Minister much less the leader of the House of Commons Vwould bo so amazingly indiscreet as to anlt: their exPTience in public, but It Is. at the same fiie, perfectly obvious that mcMlficatlons will be made In the budget, nowr-flgaln postponed till Wednesday It peaeoi is at onco concluded.

"Thet libera.!. party will, of course, prefer to fight the duty on corn and raise the whole question of free trade on Its merits They are extremely grateful to leading Conservatives for having memorialized Mr. Balfopr In favor of the tax. Whether tho income tax bo 11 or 15 pence in the pound Is a question of ex pediency, not of principle. At the tame time the reduction will be popular and would not be a humiliating defeat. f JVILL SPEND $250,000 IN IMPROVING YELLOWSTONE.

"Questions in Dispute Are Matters of Fact, Not of Principle, but Companies Refused to Arbitrate." itEPunuc srEciAi Washington, May 3L Samuel Gompers's American Federatlonallst for June comes vigorously to the support of the anthracite coal strikers In an article, apparently written by the president of the Federation of Labor himself. Among other things, the article says: "For more than twenty-flve years the condition of the miners in the anthra cite coal districts has constantly grown worse. In season and out they have suffered reduction in wages. Their necessaries of life including the powder used In blasting coal and the tools of labor they hae had to buy from the 'company stores' at pricee far In excess of what they could be pur chased for elsewhere. "The miners have been obliged to live In the company's 'bogs' called dwellings. They have been hounded and cornered into abject mental and physical fear. "Surelv when 147.O0O men voluntarily and deliberately lay down their tools of labor and declare that they and theirs will go hungry if necessary and bear the other burdens and sacrifices which a prolonged strike may entail, they must keenly feel the wrongs from which they suffer and are painfully conscious of the necessity of this step to attain their object. Cost of Living In Dlspnte. "Nearly two years have elapsed since the laxt strike and the cost of livlnc has been greatly Increased. In the present strike the miners have acted not only In a conciliatory spirit, but were willing to submit the case to arbitration. This the companies have re jected. The questions In dispute are mat ters of fact not of principle, hence there can be no good reason why the companies should relect arbitration. If they are right it can be demonstrated before a board of arbitrators. If the miners are Justified In their demands, that, too. can be settled be yond doubt "The miners in this conflict have con ducted themselves with calmness and de liberation. Thoy have been guided by con servative opinion and Judgment. The strike was not declared until all conciliatory and peaceful means were exhausted. Two months elapsed between the formulation of the demands and the inauguration of the strike. Every fair-minded citizen, every llbcrty-loving man, every union workman unites, not only in wishing tho miners the greatest possible success In this contest, but will supplement these wishes by every assistance, financial and moral, to the full limit of his ability. "The conditions by which the miners have been surrounded, the misery which wan their lot. must never again be possible. They moved upward and onward In the social and Industrial scale. It is essential n thn fiiliir-A TXTtl.btnir if the trtrf. Amer ican people that they be aided to continue I this movement lor tneir material, moral ana social welfare."

Assert They Have Witnesses to Prove That He Made a Remark in a Savannah Hotel Which Would Disqualify nim. ItnrfBLJC SPECIAL. Washington, May 31. Greene and Gaynor, the American fugitives, who are now In prison In Quehec, Canada, of their own choice, to avoid estradltlon to the United States to answer the charge of embezzle ment In connection with the notorious case of Captain O. M. Carter, and the frauds in the Savannah Harbor contracts, have notified the Attorney General that they are willing to return to the United States and stand trial before any Judge of a United States court, excepting Judge Emory Speer of Georgia. This statement was made here by An drew J. Rose, who was one of the leading counsel hi the case of Captain O. M. Carter and afterwards prominent as one of the de fenders of Messrs. Greene and Gaynor. Mr. Rose arrived here to-night. I Mr. Rose went on to say that he was In j Canada last week and saw Messrs. Greene and Gaynor. and they are p.rfectly willing to stand trial In this country before any i other Judge than Judge Speer. They claim that they cannot get Justice from him, as his prejudice- against them Is too strong to be overcome by any evidence that may be presented In their behalf. Mr. Rose stated further that Judge Speer had been heard to make remarks In th; corridor of the De Soto Hotel at Savannah which. In his opinion, disqualified him from slttlnir at the trial of his clients. Mr. Rose did not say that he heard Judge Speer mako J the remarks, but he said" that witnesses j could be produced to prove that Judge Speer had made them.
