KRUGER AND
BOTHA RESIGN
Transvaal President Is Now Mcrclv a
Member of the Executive: Yiljcoo
Botha's Sucessor Roberts' Bold
Tlan.
New York, Sept. 14. A dispatch to
the Tribune from London says: The
Mail's correspondent in Lourei.oo Mar
ques learns that Mr. Krueer Las resign
ed the presidency of the Transvaal, but,
remains a member cf the executive.
General Botha is said to have been so
.t it.. j . i.
incensed ai me cowaruiy conuuer, or ins
forces that lie has resigned the supreme
coumacd and Viljoen is now commandant-general.
.
According to a Lisbon message to the
Express, Mr. Kruger proposes tc set up
the seat cf his government at Mozam
bique.
News from the seat of war in South
Africa is indecisive, but it is clear that
Lord Roberts is milking a concentrated
woveme'nt upon Konialipoort, and has
left Pretoria in order to direct it person
all v. Ian Hamilton is returning to the
railway from Lydenburg; Pole-Carew is
pushing east towards Nelspruit : Frencli
is making for Barberton, and Bulled lias
divided both his forces and cut off a por
tion of them from the commandos be
tween Nelspruit and Komatipoort.
Lydenburg apparently has been aban
doned as soon as it was captured, and,
the British forces are in hot pursuit of
theremnant of the Boer army, and driv
ing it eastward to the Portugese fron
tier. These tactics are bold, but in accord
ance with Lord Roberts' strategy since
February. Komatipoort is the new ob
jective point, and when it' is captured
Lord Roberts will be credited with hav
ing taken possession of the last Dutch
railway line and cloeed the door into
neutral territory. The work of pacifica
tion will not have been thoroughly
worked out, but the main object will
have been secured, as wag done when
Bloernfontein and Pretoria were occu
pied. Death Was Very Sudden.

ing a generul commotion. Karter went
back and remonstrated, but Crowell,
who was under the influence of liquor,
refused to desist, and it is said struck
Karter. According to the stories of by
standers, Karter lightly smote Crowell
on the cheek, and the man fell to the

Philadelphia, Sept. 10 That the
strike of the uiineworker in the antt ra
cie coal regions of Pennsylvania which
President Mitchell, cf the united mine-
workers of Amerie.i, has officially de
dared to begin tomorrow morning will
De one ot consulerahje magnitude seems
certain tonight from reports received
from the reuions ufferted. It eeerus
equally certain that a number of oper
ators will make an effort to run their
collieries even thoutth they may be
thort-han ltd, but whether thev will be
successful jNin be determined ouly when
the breaker whistles sound the call to
work. The operators generally will
have their colliers in condition to begin
operations, and the whistles will blow
as usual, but a large number of the em
ployers admit that there is little hope of
being abla to start.
Today was one of quiet throughout the
entire coal district. The mineworkers
were orderly, and their leaders were
busy addressing meetings to encourage
the members of the union and to win
over Buch nononion men aa the could.
Many of these latter, although not favor
ing a strike, will, it ia the general opin
ion, remain away from the mines rather
than bear the criticism and reproach of
their fellow-workmen.
An effort is being made tonight to
have Archbishop Ryan, of Philadelphia,
act as arbitrator. Father Phillips, of
Ila.elton, who has been laboring hard
to effect a peaceable settlement of the
labor troubles, was in conference at a
late hour with President Mitchell, of the
united mineworkers, urging him to de
lay the strike until Archbishop Ryan
shall have exhausted his efforts.
Uoer' I.mt Appeal.
Tub H ag I E, Sept. 15. The Boers del
egates, Messere. Fischer, Wolmarans
and Wessels, have addressed an appeal
to all nations for intervention in South
Africa. After expressing the conviction
that the annexation of the Transvaal
was only proclaimed with the object of
enabling Great Britain to prosecute the
war in an inhuman manner contrary to
international law and mercilessly pur
sue as rebels exhausted combataots
hitherto recognized as belligeraute, the
appellants declared that with God's
help, this will never be attained. They
assert the South African Republics have
shown themselves to be worthy of liber
ty, and that they will continue to
struggle to the last breath against Great
Baitain's attempt to annihilate their
existence as a free people. The appeals
concludes as follows: I
"In the name of justice and human
ity, we appeal to all peoples to come to
our aid in this supreme moment and
save our country. We commit ourselves
to God trusting that our prayers will be
heard.'"

tect Any Savor of the Imperialism
Tyrraoy and Oppression Onan
ism Raves About.
Washington, Sept. 17. The instruc
ticis of President McKinley to the Phil
ippine commission were made public
here today. They bear date of April 17,
1000, and are addressed to the sicretary
of war. At the outset, the president
says :
"It is probable that the transfer of
authority from military commanders to
civil officers will by gradual aud will 00
copy a considerable period. Its success
ful accomplishment and the maintenance
of peace and order in the meantime will
require tho most perfect co-operation
between the civil and military authori
ties in tho islands, and both should be
directed during the transient period by
the same executive. The commission
will, therefore, report to the secretary of
war, and all its actions will be subject
to hia approval and control."
The president instructs that Septem
ber 1, 1900, that part of the power of
government of the Philippines which is
of an executive nature shall pass from
the military governor to the commission.
Of the duties ol the latter, ho savs that
without hampering it by too specific in
etructions it 6hould b' en;oined, first,
to establish municipal governments,
giving to tho natives the opportunity to
manage their owu affairs to the fullest
extent when they are capable and sub
ject to the least degree of supervision
and control consistent with the main
tenance of order ; and second, to extend
tho government by the natives to the
large adminittratives, corresponding to
counties or provinces. He adds:
"Whenever tho commission ia of the
opinion that the condition of affairs in
the Philippines is such that the central
administration may be transferred from
military to civil control, it will report
that conclusion to you, with further
recommendations as to the form of
central government to be established for
the purpose of taking over tho control."
Until the complete transfer of control
tho president directs that the military
governor will remain the chief executive
head of the government, exercising all
authority previously possessed by him
and not expressly assigned to the com
mission, and subject to the legislation
enacted.by the commission and approved
by the secretary of war. Municipal and
departmental governments will continue
to report to the military governor. After
directing that municipal f flicers to ad
minister the local affairs of tiie people
shall be selected by the people, and that
where officers of more extended jurisdic
tion are to be appointed, natives are to
be preferred, if men competent and will
ing can be found, the president says:
"It will.be necessary to fi:l some offices
lor the present witli American?, which,
after a time, may be filled by natives of
the lelande. As soon aa practicable, a
system of ascertaining the merit and fit
ness of candidates for civil offices should
be put in force. An imlespensable qual
ification for all offices and positions of
trust and authority In the islands must
be absolute and unconditional loya'.ty to
the United States, and absolute and un
hampered authority ami power to re
move and punish any officer deviating
from that etandaid must at all times be
retained in the hands of the central au
thority of.the islands."
Continuing, the President says that
the commission should have in view the
happiness, peace and prosperity of the
people of the islands, and that the
meamres should conform to their cus
toms, habits and even prejudices to the
fullest extent consilient with a just and
effective government.
Upon every division aud branch of
government the President imposes as im
viulable these rules :
"That no person shall be deprived of
life, liberty or property without duo pro
cess of law ; that private property shall
not lie tak 'ii for public uso without jtisH
compensation ; that In all criminal prose
cutions the accned shall enjoy tho right
to a public trial, to be informed of the
nature and cause of the accusation, to bo 1
confronted with the witnesses against
him. to have compulsory process for ob-
taining witnesses in lm favor, and to
have the assistance of counsel for his de
'er.se; that excessive fines imposed nor
cruel and unusual ininiilimunt inflicted ;
that no person shall be put twice in
Jeopardy for the same offense or bo com
pelled in any criminal ca-e to be a wit'
nest against himself ; that tho right to
be secure against unreasonable searches
ami seizures shall not be violated ; that
neither slavery uor involuntary s-ervilu.'e
hall exist, except as a punishment for
crime; that nu bill cf attainder or ex
post facto law shall be passed; that r.o
laws shall be passed abridging the
freedom of speech or ol the press, or the
rights of people peaceably to assemble
and petition the government for a redrew
of grievances; that no law shall be made
respecting an establishment of religion'!
or prohibiting the exercise thereof, and
that the free exercise and enjoyment of
religious profession and worship without
discrimination or prefertnee shall for
ever be allowed."

"I had a severe attack of bilious colic,
got a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic,
Cooler aud Diarrluet Remedy, took two
doses and was entirely cured," says Rev.
A. A. Power, of Emporia, Kau. "My
neighbor across the street was sick for
over a week, had two or three bottles of
medicine from the doctor. He 11 -ed
them threo or four days without relief,
then called in another doctor who treat
ed him for tome days and gave bim no
relief, so discharged him. I went over
to see him the next morning. He said
bis bowels were In a terrible fix, that
they had been running off so long thet
it was almost bloody flux. I asked him
if he had tried Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrluet Remedy and hd
said, 'No.' I went home and brought
him my bottle and gave him one dose ;
told him to take another dose in fifteen
or twenty minutes if he did not find
relief, hut he took 110 more and was en
tirely cured." For salo at BlukeMy's

100,000 Mod on a Strike.
Philadelphia, Sept. 17. Reports
from the anthracite coal fields of this
state indicate the tie-up caused by the
strike for higher wages of more than
140,000 mineworkers Is at least as com
plete as the leaders of the United Mine
Workers ol America, the organization
back of the strike, claimed at any time.
Companies and individuals owning
mines who had claimed that their work
ings would operate as usual, despite the
strike order, apparently reckoned with
out accurate knowledge of the attitude
of their men. It is truo that some
operators in the Hazleton region were
working today with as high as 80 per
cent of the men, nevertheless the greater
number of men in the district were idle.
In the Scranton and Wilkesbarre dis
tricts the tie-no was particularly com
plete. As was expected, the Schuylkill
region, with Pottsvilie for a central
point, was at work with very few de
fections. These men have not the same
grievances that prevail in the other
districts, mid if they go on strike it will
be largely through sympathy.
President Mitchell, of the United
Mine Workers, who has established
headquarters at Hazleton and is personal
ly directing the strike, estimates that
over 100,000 men struck and that 15,000
more will join them tomorrow.

Victoria, B. C. Sept. 17. Among the
advices btonght by tho Breconshire
from China were stories of the arrest if
Chinese w ith the heads of foreign sol
diers in sacks. It seems that head
money of fifty taels is paid for each
head. This fact was brought to light by
the disc ivory of the ( rlvatepapers of
Viceroy Yu Lu of Tien Tsln. In his

"Taels, 100, pid for the heads of two
American marines killed in tho advance

occasion."
The entry txplaius many ghastly in

the killing of wounded. When Captain
Beyt and three marines with him fell at
the engagement before Hsi arsenal, at
tempts were made to decapiiate them.
The next night some Chinese were

in China, and that opposition to their

Little doubt is entertained that Ger
many ia sincere in her declaration that
she does not seek territory, but merely
to maintain the principle of the "open
door" aud to obtain proper Indemnity
for the outrages her representatives havs
undergone. Thero is a belief in woll
informed diplomatic circles that the
German emperor's policy is gradually
veering round in a sense favorable to
Great Britain, a'hd that for a long time
he has done what he could to bring
about a better understanding between
his own country and Great Britain, but
has been greatly hindered by popular ill
will on both sides.
Prince Henrv's visit to London is re
garded as of great political importance,
as indeed the commencement of t,!:e rap-
Ufrochmont between Germany and Great
Britain seems desired by the Kuieor. The
