BANISHMENT OF BOERS
LATEST ENGLISH PROCLAMATION
ISSUED BY LOUD KITCHENER?
All Officers Who Refuse to Surrender.
Shall Be Compelled to Leave
South Africa.
LONDON, Aug. 9. A parliamentary pa-,
per has been Issued containing the proc
lamation Issued by Lord Kitchener, Au
gust 7, in accordance with instructions
from the Imperial Government, the Gov
ernments of Cape Colony and Natal con
curring. The proclamation says:
"All Commandants, Field Cornets and
leaders of armed bands, being burghers
of the late republic and still engaged
In resisting His Majesty's force's, whether
in the Orange Colony, the Transvaal or
other portions of His Majesty's South
African dominions, and all members of
the late Governments of the Orange Free
State and Transvaal, shall, unless they
surrender before September 15. be per
manently banished from South Africa.
The cost of maintenance of families of
all burghers In the field who have not
surrendered by September 15 shall be re
coverable from such burghers, and shal
be a charge upon their property, remov
able and immovable. In the two colonies."
The preliminary correspondence shows
that the proclamation Is based upon sug
gestions which the Government of Natal
forwarded to Colonial Secretary Cham
berlain July 4, and that the date, Septem
ber 35, was recommended by Lord Mll
ner. The reasons of the Government for the
proclamation are set forth in a preamble
to the proclamation as follows:
"Whereas, the late Orange Free State
and South African Republic have been
annexed to His Majesty's dominions; and
"Whereas, His Majesty's forces are,
and have been for some considerable
time. In complete possession of the seats
of government of both of the aforesaid
territories with their public offices and
the whole machinery of administration,
-as wel as of the principal towns and the
-whole of the railways, and,
"Whereas, a great majority of the bur
ghers of the late republics, to the num
ber of S5.000, exclusive of those who have
fallen in the war, are now cither pris
oners or have submitted to His Majesty's
Government and are living peaceably in
towns and camps under control of His
Majesty's forces; and,
"Whereas the burghers of the late
republics still In arms are not only few in
number, but have lost almost all their
guns and munitions of war, and are un
able to offer any organized resistance to
His Majesty's forces In any part of the
country; and,
"Whereas, these burghers who are still
In arms, though unable to carry on reg
ular warfare, continue to make Isolated
attacks upon small posts and detach
ments of His Majesty's forces, to plunder
or destroy property and to damage rail
way and telegraph property; and,
"Whereas, the country Is thus kept in
a state of disturbance, checking the re
sumption of agricultural and Industrial
pursuits; and.
"Whereas. His Majesty's Government Is
determined to put an end to the state of
things which is aimlessly prolonging
bloodshed and destruction and Inflicting
ruin upon a great majority of the in
habitants who are anxious to live in
peace and earn a Ivellhood for them
selves and families; and,
"Whereas, it is just to proceed against
those still resisting, and especially against
those persons who, being in a position
of authority, are responsible for the con
tinuance of the present state of lawless
ness, and are instigating their fellow
burghers to continue their hopeless re
sistance to His Majesty's Government."
Then follows the proclamation as given !
above. i
The afternoon papers comment ap
provingly upon the proclamation. Even
the Westminster Gazette says there Is
no fault to find with It, nor Is there any
objection to make on the score of Jus
tice. It thinks, however, that it Is ex
tremely doubtful If It will have any ef
fect on shortening the war. Most of the
fighting Boers are already completely
ruined, and nothing restrains them, ow
ing to the devastation of the country.
LONDON, Aug. 10.-Rudyard Kipling's
"Killing Kruger With Tour Mouth" is
quoted against the government by the
pro-Boer press today as a description of
the latest proclamation. The Dally News
says that "this empty thunderbolt by tired
and despairing Jove will have no effect,"
and it reminds the government, while they
may banish the Boers from British South
Africa, they cannot banish them from
German South Africa.
It appears certain that the proclamation
was wholly Inspired by the Government
of Natal. Mr. Chamberlain Is on one side
praised as a strong statesman, and on the
other hand despised as a weakling for ac
cepting Natal's advice. Generally the
proclamation Is approved as a common
senBe, justifiable measure, but no great
hopes are raised by It. The Standard
fears that It Is too conciliatory, and that
more severe measures will be necessary.
The Dally Chronicle, referring to a sig
nificant statement in the House of Com
mons yesterday by Lord Stanley, financial
secretary to the War Office, that "there is
nothing to Justify the supposition that
further fresh mobile forces will be neces
sary," says It hopes the government Is
not falling Into their old optimistic allu
sions. The Times, which fully approves the
proclamation, says: The Boers may un
derstand that it is the first turn of a
new screw which Is capable of putting on
far more severe pressure."
Rumor of Kitchener Being; Wounded
LONDON, Aug. 9. The War Office has
Tecelved no advices giving color to the
rumor circulated by a nesrs agency that
Lord Kitchener has been wounded In a
skirmish with the Boers. The rumor Is
officially discredited. Lord Kitchener's of
ficial dispatches reached the War Office
this afternoon and contained nd reference
to any accident to him.
Boers' Cold-blooded Revenge.
LONDON, Aug. 10. According to a dis
patch to the Dally Mail from Lourenco
Marques, the Boers are reported to nave
captured and Bhot in cold blood a Lieu
tenant, and a trooper of Stelnacker's
Horse in revenge for their being instru
mental in shooting a Boer dispatch-rider.

PARIS, Aug. 9. It was reported on the
Bourse today that Mr. Steyn. the ex
President of the Orange Free State, will

the view of reaching a definite under
standing In regard to the peace overtures.
Condemned by German Papers,
BERLIN, Aug. 9. German papers, com
menting upon Lord Kitchener's proclama
tion, condemn It In the severest terms,
declaring that it Is against International
law.

ENGLAND'S OBJECTIONS.
Cansed the Delay In Signing the
Protocol at JPekin.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9. The State De
partment makes public the following:
A cablegram from Mr. Rockhlll late yes
terday reports that the delay In signing
the final protocol of agreement between
the powers and China is due to objections
raised by Great Britain against the inter
national commission of the revision of the
tariff. The nature of the British objec
tions Is not stated. It also appears that
the British Government asks for the re
consideration of some clauses to which
no agreement had heretofore been reached
owing to the objection of several powers.
The following exact statement of cer
tain phases of the Chinese negotiations
is given from authoritative sources in or
der to correct some misapprehension which
has arisen from published reports as to
the possible causes of delay In signing
the' protocol at Pekin:
"All the negotiators are agreed on the
tariff matter. The present ad valorem
tariff Is to be converted into a specific
tariff at the average rates of the present
treaty tariff, five per centum, and articles
now on the free list are to be included
in the new specific schedule. The details
of this arrangement are to be left to a
special commission, to sit hereafter, prob
ably at Shanghai.
"The details of the arrangement for the
prohibition of the Importation of fire
arms, war munitions and materials for
their manufacture were settled some
months ago. They provided for the seiz
ure by the foreign warship? of any Chi
nese or foreign ships entering Chinese
waters with the prohibited articles on
board, and also for such steps as each
of the several foreign governments may
deem It proper or be in a position to
take in order to prohibit the exportation
of arms and supplies from their respective
countries to China, The State Depart
ment Is not officially advised of the pro
visions of an amendment to this article
of the protocol, which is reported to have
been recently Introduced, but Its object
would seem to be to require the Chi
nese authorities to co-operate actively in
enforcing the prohibition, which the Chi
nese negotiators have already adopted in
principle.
LONDON, Aug. 9. The British Foreign
Office is telegraphing to Sir Ernest
Satow, the Minister of Great Britain at
Pekin, in order to ascertain tho reason
for his refusal to sign the Chinese set
tlement protocol. In view of this fact,
Lord Cranbourno, the Under Secretary
for the Foreign Office, has requested
Henry Norman, Liberal, to postpone his
interrogation on the subject In the"
House of Commons until Monday next.

Two Tragedies In Montana.
HELENA Moat., Aug. 9. Sheriff Pot
ter, of Carbon County, near Red Lodge,
last evening shot and killed Tod Sloan,
who was wanted by the authorities of
Big Horn County, Wyoming, for stealing
horses. Sloan drew a gun, but Sheriff
Potter was too quick for him, shooting
him through the breast. A few hours be
fore the shooting of Sloan, Under Sheriff
William Gebo shot and killed Alexander
Matson, a Finn, who, with others, had
been charlvarilng a newly wedded couple.
Matson resisted arrest and was shot three
times through the body. The Finns who
are employed In Red Lodge coal mines
were wildly excited by the tragedy, and
in a mass meeting declared they will
lynch the officer If he Is not punished.
Tornado In Nebraska.
ELWOOD, Neb., Aug. 9. Last night a
rain, wind and hall storm swept over
Gosper County, Neb. The rain varied
from one to five inches and caused much
damage, while the hail fell so heavily
In spots that it formed cakes of ice a
foot thick. Four miles north ot Elwood
a tornado passed through the country,
levelling farm buildings, and scattering
grain in stacks for miles about the
country. Horses and cattle were picked
upland dashed about like toys. On the
Lux farm, a wagon tongue was driven
spuarely through one of the largest trees
on tho nlaco. J
WEAKNESS OE THE NAVY
PROVED BY THE BRITISH CHANNEL1
MANEUVERS.
Home Squadron Deficient In Swift
Cruisers Sple Picked Up Wire
less Messages.
LONDON, Aug. 9. The Lookout, com
menting today on the naval maneuvers,
says:
"Undoubtedly the Admiralty's reason
for winding up the campaign in a week,
instead of 10 days, was because of the
sufficiency of the unpalatable truths
forced home. They did not care for
further demonstration in the same line."
The paper also says the chief lesson
learned was the imperative need of swift
cruisers and there was a glaring defic
iency in the home squadron' in that re
spect. It points out that the defense
squadron's maneuvers were practically
the same if it were called on to guard
the Channel In case of actual hostilities.
The attacking fleet wa3 Inferior numcri-

miralty to double the stfength "of the
cruiser squadron and to -increase the
speed of the new battle-ships to the ut
most limit of gun and armor efficiency.
An interesting detail Is the fact that
the enemy's cruiser spies secured a mass
of Information regarding the defense
movements by picking up the home squad
ron's wireless .messages.
CLOSURE Ik THE COMMONS.
Beneficing Effect of Railroading
Meanurcii XThroHgK the House,
NEW YORK, Aug, 9. Commenting upon
the effects of the changes of methods of
application of closure rules In the House
of Commons the Tribune's London corre
spondent says;
With the closure of outsandlng
supply votes in classes financial,
business of Parliament has been greatly
facilitated. There has been much sup
pressed excitement and the Liberals shook
their heads ominously over the abandon
ment of the constitutional privilege of
tramping up and down the division lob
bies over every detailed estimate, but the
government branches were relieved by the
limitation placed upon obstruction. Cap
tain Bowles, who In place of being an ec
centric comedian, must now be regarded
as a trenchant satirist on the decline and
fall of Parliamentary privilege, was the
only Tory not in sympathy with the new
methods of dispatching financial legisla
tion by railroading through the remain
ing votes of supply in compartment.
The Irish members were perhaps the
happiest men in the house. They look up
on the enforced change In the rules as a
practical demonstration of their own pow
er. Men like T. P. O'Connor consider that
the Irish cause has made great progress
during the last eight months. The Na
tionalists have been reunited and are
now led with firmness and efficiency. The
Nationalists dd not hesitate to claim the
drastic method of closure now in opera
tion as their own party triumph, and boast
of their success in dislocating and para
lyzing the business of the session and
In forcing Mi. Balfour to play fast and
loose with the rules and settled practice
of the House and his pledges.
The Irish members assert that the cause
of home' rule has advanced by leaps and
bounds owing to their dogged persever
ance In conducting In their plan the
constitutional agitation at Westminster.
This is purely an Irish view of the sit
uation, but it is confirmed by the barren
record of legislation during the session
now drawing to a close.
Australian Standing Arniy.
MELBOURNE, Aug. 9. The House of
Deputies today passed the second reading
of the Australian defense bill. Edmund
Barton, the Premier, made a speech In
which he said the standing army con
templated Is only sufficient to guard the
depots, and to serve as military Instruct
ors for the levies, to be called out In
case the first line of defense, the Navy,
was broken. The clause providing for
calling out men from 18 to 60 years of age
Is simply Inserted to demonstrate to the
world what Australia would do In time
of emergency. The cost of the Navy
would be about 1,000,000 annually.

will be put ih their places, and another
mill opened up next week.
Advices from Hyde Park are to the ef
fect that every mill Is In operation, and
that the work being turned out is satis
factory. The officials of the Republic Iron Works
oh the south side were notified today by
a committee of workers from the mills
that the entire force would quit work to
morrow evening, at which time President
Shaffer's order Is supposed to become .ef
fective. The management refused to make
any statement.
The steel corporation made no attempt
to reopen the Painter mill, and the strik

to start the plant by winning over the
nonunion men, who had agreed to go to
work. The mill officials deny that there
has been any Interference with their plans,
and say that In due time the mill will
be started. ,
IRELAND ON STRIKES.
Unions Have No Right to Prevent
Nonunion Men From Working.
NEW YORK, Aug. 9. This afternoon
Archbishop Ireland passed through New
York, returning home from the Catholic
Loyal Abstinence convention at Hartford.
To the representative of the Associated
Press he said that the report In some
New York papers that he had been in
vited to make efforts toward the settle
ment of the strike, or that he had him
self the intention of putting himself for
ward In this connection, was utterly un
warranted and without foundation. Be
ing further urged to express an opinion
upon the present strike and strikes in
general, he said:
"To employes entering willingly into a
strike the matter is one of their own per
sonal concern, and others have but to
concede to them their personal right to
act In such manner as tfhey will. Men
are the masters of their hands and of
t'..elr labor; the liberty is their to work
or not to work, provided they understand
the consequences that follow, and resolve
to accept and endure such consequences.
Not only, indeed, is t'hls liberty at all
times theirs, but we must furthermore
grant that occasions may arise and do
arise when a strike, however serious the
consequences for the workmen. Is a
mearts, and at times, perhaps, the sole
means, through which rights appertaining
to them and which are of vital importance
to their ultimate welfare can be secured.
When It Is that under this aspect of
things strikes may be allowed.or even
commended, is a question to be deter
mined by close examination of the cir
cumstances of each particular fitfrlke. 1
am laying down general principles ot
ethics, not deciding the merits of any
particular case. But while the right to
enter upon a strike Is and must be con
ceded as a right belonging to the personal
freedom of workingmen, this must be ever
demanded attd In the name of the same
principle of personal freedom under which
men refuse to work that their desire to
cease to work must In no way interfere
with the liberty of others who may wish
to work.
"The personal freedom of the individual
citizen Is the most sacred and precious in
heritance of Americans. The Constitution
and the laws authorize it; the spirit of the
country proclaims It; the prosperity of the
people, the very life of the Nation, re
quire it Whatever the ol'ner Interests at
stake, the personal freedom of the indi
vidual outranks them all, and this must,
be sustained, even If those are to be sac
rificed. Neither state nor fellow citizen
may Interfere with my personal liberty.
This is the very core of Americanism. This
fs the teaching Of National and Christian
ethics.
" "It Is not for me to dispute the benefits
hat may be believed to accrue to fhe
workingman from labor unions; nor am I
prepared to say from information that
comes to me through newspapers that, in
the present strike unions pretend to
shorten personal freedom of men that do
not Join their ranks. But this may be
ever emphatically asserted and main
tained as an inviolable principle, that
however much labor uiilons may have
reason to widen their muster-rolls and
however mhch they have the legal and
moral right to do this through pacific
and persuasive methods, they must not
attempt to wrest from men outside their
ranks the right to work, or to seek to
coerce them into inactivity by illegal or
unjust attacks upon their civil and moral
freedom. Equity and law are superior to
the personal welfare of an individual or
of aggregations of Individuals, and equity
and law demand that the personal free
dom of the citizen, whoever he is, be made
sacred and secure."
SATISFIED WITH EMPLOYERS.
Little Likelihood of a Walkont at
Chicago.
CHICAGO. Aug. 9. William C. Davis,
vice-president of the fourth district of the
Amalgamated Association, in discussing
the prospect of the men walking out of
the Illinois Steel Company at Chicago,
today said: v
"Reports brought to me indicate such a
friendly feeling toward the company that
I feel that tho men will not go out. The
men themselves feel that they are be
tween two fires. For 14 years we have
been working steadily without any
trouble, and, as a whole, the men feel
loyal to their old contracts. Yet, at the
same time, we feel pledged to the Amal
gamated Association. I do not wish In any
way to influence the action of the men.
I am acting for myself" alone In re
signing." Mr. Davis resigned his position yester
day as an employe of the steel company,
and it is to that action he refers in the
