MTEKPT'TO SETTLE STRIKE
National CItIc Federation to lie
.Asked io Intercede Ice and Coal
Hen. May He Drawn Into
the Trouble.
CHICAGO, June L Success having at
tended the efforts of Franklin MacVeagh,
president of the National Civic Federa
tion, in his Intercession with the Union
Traction Company on behalf of the street
car employes, the differences of the strik
ing stockyard teamsters are to be taken
up in the same fashion. At a meeting
of the Federation of Labor tonight It was
said that an appeal should be made to
James H. Eckels, president of the Com
mercial National Bank, -to take up the
teamsters' cause with "the packers. Mr.
Eckels Is a member of the industrial
committee of the National Civic Federa
tion. The appeal will be made tomorrow.
The strikers succeeded today in getting
more than 125 recruits to their ranks, and
the tie-up of the delivery of meat to
morrow will be almost complete. The new
members of the union come from the
branch houses of the four big packing
firms.
Since the strike was begun the pack
ers have heen shipping meat by the car
load to these branches, and then distrib
uting it by wagons to their customers.
With the men unionized, this outlet hag
been cut off from the packers, and if any
deliver of meat shall be made tomorrow
It will have to be made by nonunion men.
Up to the present time the packers have
been unable to induce outsiders to take
the places of the strikers.
The executive committee of the 'Pack
ers' Association held a secret conference
today, but refused to make the object of
the meeting public Another meeting will
be held tomorrow. Some conciliatory ac
tion on the part of the packers is ex
pected by the strikers.
Under the cover of Sunday Quiet the
packers scored heavily on the striking
teamsters, and succeeded in filling all
their distributing stations about town ex
cept those in the Fulton Market. The
move by the packers came unexpectedly."
All was done quietly and quickly. The
carloads of meat which have been stand
ing on sidetracks were sent to the sta
tions and unloaded, Ice was brought from
the yards on the cars, and by evening all
was ready for tomorrow's business.
The coup of the packers brings the
Btrike to an acute issue. Up to the pres
ent time the strikers have been inform
ing all who dared to got their meat from
these companies that If such a course
should be continued their ice supply would
be cut off. With some of the distributing
stations closed and others with an Inade
quate supply of meat, the butchers have
been unwilling to take the risk, and have
let their meat reserve run low. The pack
ers say this situation has been changed
and that all butchers in need of meat
will come and get it.
The ice and coal drivers seem to hold
the key to the strike, and to them the
teamsters are turning for assistance.
None of the butchers has been completely
cut off from ice, but an attempt to bring
this about will come tomorrow, and with
it will be tested the real strength of the
strike. Should the ice and coal men fall,
sympathetic strikes may be called.
MIXERS ARE U2VEASY.
Much Depends on Whether Xcw Men
Will Go Out.
WILKESBARRE, Pa., June 1. The eve
of what is looked upon as a most impor
tant week in the progress of the anthra
cite coal miners' strike finds the region
In an abprehensive mood.
At 7 o'clock tomorrow morning the or
der of the United Mineworkers of Amer
ica, calling out all the stationary engi
neers, firemen and pumpmen, unless the
companies grant them an eight-hour work
day at present wages, will go into effect,
and no one can forecast the outcome of
the new move, Victory for either side
will be of Immense advantage, and both
parties to the contest are striving with
all the power at their command to win.
If the union shall succeed In shutting
down the pumps, the mine properties will
suffer damage that may reach into mill
ions of dollars, and if the employers
6houId be able to keep the water out of
their workings without the aid of or
ganized labor, it means that the power
of the union in the anthracite region has
reached its limit, and that all help In the
effort to force the mineowners to grant
the demands of the great army of 147,000
men must come from some outside source.
The mineworkers say they will preserve
the property of the companies if the
engineers, pumpmen and firemen are given
what they ask for, but the companies say
they will permit no outsider to fix the
hours and wages of their men. Neither
side tonight shows the slightest disposi
tion to 'yield.
Practically all the nonunion men to be
employed are now in the region. The
companies say that the number of those
who have volunteered to fill strikers'
places has been large, and that no diffi
culty has been encountered in selecting
good men.
An army of approximately SOOO armed
coal and iron policemen, sworn in under
a law of the State of Pennsylvania, Is in
the field tonight, ready to protect these
men and the various mining properties.
There are also scattered throughout the
country, it is said, about 1000 men who are
doing secret work for the companies.
Every colliery In the coal belt has either
a board or barbed-wire fence around 1L
At some of the mines "camp cars" are
lying on the elding for the accommodation
of nonunion men, most of whom will live
In the colliery during the suspension.
A Joint meeting of the Brotherhoods of
Railway Engineers. Firemen, Trainmen,
Switchmen, Conductors and Telegraphers
employed by the Central Railroad of New
Jersey, was hold at Ashley tonight About
600 men were present President Mitchell,
of the United Mineworkers, District Pres
ident Fahey and Charles S. Wilson, vice
grand master of the Brotherhood of Lo
comotive Firemen, delivered addresses.
Mr. Mitchell outlined the strike situa
tion In the anthracite region In detail
and told of the prospects of the miners
winning the strike. He said a victory for
the miners would bo a victory for all or
ganized labor. In his opinion the miners
were going to win. Grand Master Wil
son, in his talk, said if Mr. Mitchell de
manded the co-operation of the railroad,
brotherhood men he could get it without
a dissenting voice. The present strike did
not concern the miners only, but all union
labor. A resolution was adopted pledg
ing the co-operation of all railroaders
if such a move was necessary in order
for the miners to win their strike.
SPECIAL OFJFICERS OX GROCXD,'
Not Popular nt Hazleton, However i
To Keep Track of Men.
HAZLETON, Pa.. June 1. The several
hundred special officers brought here last
night for guard duty at tho collieries In
the Hazleton district were distributed to
day. They will be housed and boarded at
the breakers. Public sentiment here Is
against the special officers, and the local
labor union today made an effort to In
duce the servant girls at the hotel where
they remained over night to strike. The
girls are still at work, however. Some of.
" mineworkers' leaders think thetofQ-
cers are nonunion firemen and pump-runners.
The plan of the coal companies to ex
change engineers, firemen and pump-runners
who expressed a willingness to work,
but not in their, own district, has been
frustrated by the mineworkers by the is
suance 'of orders to the engineers, fire
men and pump-runners who remain away
from their posts to report at headquar
ters tomorrow. In this way the union
will keep track of all hands. The leaders
assert tonight that all of the firemen and
pump-runners will strike. They are not
sure of .the engineers, but believe that
only a small portion of the latter will
continue at work.
The coal companies' agents say they
are prepared to fill the places of all
strikers, and that the calling out of the
engineers, firemen and pump-runners will
not cause them any hardship. In some
quarters the belief prevails that If the
companies succeed in keeping their fires
and pumps going, an effort will be made
within the next two weeks to resume the
mining of coal at some collieries with
"nonunion men.
District President Duffy spent today In
the Panther Creek Valley, where it was
reported there was danger of the defec
tion of some of the firemen and pump
runners. Situation Is Strained.
The scene that occurred hero last night
upon the arrlvil of a deputation of spe
cial officers was repeated at 7 o'clock to
night, when about 20 officers, in charge of
a coal company agent, boarded a trolley
car at the Hazleton House for Freeland.
The streets were crowded and when the
officers came into sight about 500 men
rushed at them, hissing and yelling. It
was feared the crowd would attcak the
officers, and trouble would undoubtedly
have occurred had not Chief of Police
Ferry and four of his men held the ex
cited strike sympathizers back until the
car left. As the car started the yelling
and hissing was resumed. Two of the
Imported men remained in the city, and
as they proceeded through the crowd un
der police protection to their hotel they
were hooted.
The servant girls at the Hazleton
House, where some of the officers are
quartered,, Immediately after the cpisodo
quit their posts, doclarlng they would
not wait upon the imported men. About
800 men have been in the vicinity of the
Hazleton House all night and the situa
tion is very exciting. A tremendous cheer
wont up from the crowd as the striking
servant girls were esnveyed by a com
mittee of miners from the hotel.
The employes of the Xehigh Valley
Coal Company, who live in the houses
owned by that corporation, have been
notified that their failure to report at
the mines will be considered equivalent to
discharge. All who refuse to return to
work are expected to. vacate the houses.
3000 FURXACEMEX STRIKE.
Only United Steel Competitors Are
Affected by It.
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, June 1. A fur
nacemen's strike, affecting all the inde
pendent furnaces and the Republic Iron
& Steel Company's furnaces in the Ma
honing and Shenango Valleys, began to
day, thrbwlng SOOO men out of work. No
United States Steel Corporation mills are
yet affected, but President MeMahon says
thzt some of them will be closed within
a few days. President Thompson, of the
Republic Iron & Steel Company, said
that tho strike Is an unfair one to that
.company, the union forcing the independ
ent furnaces into a position which re
quired 50 per cent greater cost for pro
duction than the United States Steel Cor
poration. Already Practically Defeated.
PITTSBURG, June 1. The blast fur
nace operators of the Shenango and Ma
honing' Valley feel confident that the
strike of the furnace workers, begun to
day. Is practically defeated. The ope
rators say 10 of the 30 furnaces are work
ing tonight, and claim to have new men
ready to take the places of all strikers.
No effort was made to extend the strike
to the Pittsburg district, the leaders say,
because In some Instances superintendents
of furnaces asked for more time and ar
ranged for conferences during the week,
and in other cases because the organiza
tion is not strong enough as yet in this
district.
Reports to the furnace owners tonight
say four furnaces of the National Steel
Company, at Youngstown, and three at
Newcastle, of the same company, are
operating. Also one of the Sharon Steel
Company, at Sharon, and two of the W.
P. Snyder Company, at Sharpsville.
Twenty of the other furnaces in tho val
leys are banked. The strike leaders de
clare that most of the valley furnaces
are closed.
Thomas H. Fynn, the Federation of La
bor organizer, who has charge of the
strike, says that unless concessions- are
made, the strikers' ranks will be dou
bled within a week. The demand of the
men is. for the establishment of an eight
hour day at wages now paid for 12 hours.
The operators say tho demand Is not
feasible.
Pumpmen Will Go to Worfc.
TAMAQUA, Pa., June 1. Today a meet
ing of delegates from all the locals In
subdlstrict No. 1 of the United Mine
workers was held at Coaldale to decide
whether the pumpmen In the Panther
Creek Valley should obey the order to
strike tomorrow. The session lasted three
hours, the anti-strike sentiment being
very strong. It is said tonight that the
greater number of the men will depart
for duty tomorrow. Immediately after
the meeting strike missionaries made a
canvass of the men, but It is said that
their efforts will not be productive ot
any results.
This evening an official of the Lehigh
Coal & Navigation Company told the As
sociated Press correspondent that the
company had the assurance that a suffi
cient number of men to run the pumpa
would report for duty in the morning.
Shcriff Posts Trespass Xotlces.
SCRANTON. Pa,, June L In anticipa
tion of possible trouble this week result
ing from strikers' places being filled by
other men. Sheriff Schad today sent his
deputies through Lackawanna County
posting big sheets warning all persons
against trespassing. Sheriff Schad has
refused all along to -swear in any depu
ties at the request of the coal companies.
He says If there is need of deputies he
will direct their work.
A canvass made today gives indications
that few engineers and not many more
pumprunners will obey the strike order.
The firemen, it is thought, will generally
strike. The Delaware, Lackawanna &
Western, the Delaware & Hudson and the
Erie men are expected to remain at work,
especially the engineers and pump-runners.
Pump-Runners and Engineers Stay.
SUSQUEHANNA. Pa,, June 1. The fire
men, pump-runners and engineers em
ployed in the Erie Railroad's mines at
Forest City have voted not to go out on
strike Monday. In anticipation of trouble
after Monday the company's property has
been Inclosed with an eight-foot barbed
wire fence, and will be guarded by a largo
force of coal and Iron police.

WASHINGTON, June L Under the
terms of the unanimous agreement
reached last Wednesday, the Senate will

viding a form of civil government for
the Philippine Islands and the entire in
tervening time of the Senate's sessions "will

Tho general understanding now is that
on Wednesday, after the disposal of the
Philippine bill, the Nicaragua Canal bill
will be called up and made the regular
order of business. An effort will be made
to substitute for the Nicaragua bill the
bill Introduced by Senator Spooner, leav
ing to the discretion of the President
the selection of an Isthmian canal route,
and its champions are claiming a major

friends of the Nicaragua route, and also

DEMOCRATIC VIEW
Attacks on the Army and the Administration' Called to
Account by Senator Morgan.
WASHINGTON, June 1. It has remained for a Democratic Senator,
the veteran Morgan o'f Alabama, who has long been prominently iden
tified with the Nicaragua Canal, to put before the country in its true
light tho Democratic attitude toward the Philippine Islands, and to show
up In clear light the, Inadequacy of the .Democratic assaults on Ameri
can sovereignty there and the futility of Democratic attacks on the Army.
In the Senate Mr. Morgan said: '
I voted for the Treaty of Paris, as It came from the hands of tho ne
gotiators without amendment or explanation, ,and I voted against all res
olutions that attempted to attach conditions to that treaty, believing that
If such conditions were proper to'be attached to Its execution, the treaty
should not be ratified.
The question I asmrself Is forced upon me by the attitude of some
of my fellow Democrats, who charge that the- administrative history of
the Philippines has been nothing hut evil and Is due to the policy which
is called "expansion," as a natural If not a necessary result, and that the
vote for ratification of tho Treaty of Paris carried with It these in
evitable consequences.
It was at this point that the lino ot separation was established when
the treaty was ratified," which today is the lino that separates the friends
of the treaty from its opponents. The opponents of the treaty Teproach
its friends for having supported it, while they don't propose to repeal any
of its provisions. They place the whole question in the shape of a National
curse that is irrevocable, when they could get rid of all the. alleged evils
by repealing the parts of the treaty that relate to the Philippines. Of
this they seem to be afraid. They don't offer to repeal or abrogate the
treats'.
I excuse those who now see a fatal policy in that cession, and thought
they saw it then, from all accusations of witnesses on that occasion, and
I still excuse them for not trying to repeal that cession, when we know
that the SUCCESS OF SUCH AX EFFORT "WOULD THROW THE
PEOPLE OF THESE ISLAXDS BACK IXTO THE ARMS OF SPAIX,
WHOSE TYRAXXIES HAVE MADE THE3I ITS UXFOIGIVIXG ENE
MIES, AXD WOULD HAVE DISHOXORED THE POLICY OX WHICH
THAT WAR WAS DECLARED.
To have crowned such a war, waged for such generous purposes, with
such a result, would have dismayed stronger hearts than those even that
beat In the bosoms of my Democratic colleagues.
Referring to the Rawlins substitute to commit tho Government ul
timately to release the Islands, he said:
What would be thought of me, as a Senator, If I should copy the lan
guage of the pledge that Is in this substitute In a Joint resolution to
provide for tho future Independence of Alabama, that Is already sovereign
and Is in full exercise of autonomous government? Who would
rise here and assert that such a measure was within the del
egated powfers of Congress? If I should keep my seat In
the Senate after such an effort, I should have no hope of remaining In
the Democratic party as a respectable member.

It would bo a terrible reflection on the Republicans of the American
type, and to the followers of Thomas Jefferson, In political belief, that
the United States should bo in the occupancy of a country consecrated to
religious Intolerance, and after it had admitted to such a country a day's
sunshlno ot the freedom ot religion, It should turn that country back to
a sovereign power that would Instantly put out that light and remand
tho people to tho fetters of an established church. If, for this, I must
plead my excuses to my Democratic brethren for Insisting that this car
dinal principle must be permanent in tho Philippines.
If my vote for tho Treaty of Paris prove to be my death as a Demo
crat, my tomb will not be dishonored if it has the inscription, "The
freedom of religion," which Thomas Jefferson wroto for his own tomb as
the most cherished work of his great career?
Whatever else may or may not happen to the Philippines, we have dedi
cated, those islands to tho freedom of religion; we have unshackled them
from tho dominion of an established church, and no power will ever exist
that can undo our work or remand them to that servitude through the
agencies of polltloal or military power. I cannot regret a vote In the
Senate of the United States which God has blessed with such imperish
able good. Much has been alleged that Imputes to the Government a
purpose to enrich its favorites at the expense of the people of the Phil
ippine Archipelago. I feel that simple Justice requires me to express my
dissent to that statement. It is not sustained by tho facts. On the con
trary, there is a feeling ot distrust toward men of enterprise and capi
tal that is calculated to Injure tho islands by keeping tho public lands
unoccupied , and by keeping out of the world's commerce the productions
that would make Its Islanders prosperous and contented.
Tho Islands wore full of Indians, as our country wa3 when Wash
ington surrendered his commission at Annapolis. And It would be quite
as Just 'to say that the Constitution of the United States was a barbarous
edict because It provided for the government of the Indian tribes through
regulations of commerce by acts of Congress as to contend that the pur
pose of the Government was robbery in assuming sovereignty rights over
the various tribes in the Philippines.

It Is very difficult to restrain the soldiers or the people in the pre
cise methods of legal procedure when they are forced to free the country
from men who are voluntary outlaws.
But what excuse can possibly be found in the conduct of the Army for
tho refusal of Congress to give proper government to the Philippine
Islands? We must either govern them or abandon them, and the more
the Army may have abused these people the higher is the duty of pro
viding for them a better civil government
speeches, however, have already been an
nounced. Senator Hanna will speak at length for
the Spooner bill, as will Senator Klttredge.
Among those who have Indicated their
purpose of addressing the Senate In the
interest of the Nicaragua route are
Mitchell, Foster (La.), Turner and Mor
gan. The present understanding is that the
Cuban reciprocity hill will not be dis
cussed during the week. That measure
Is still in committee, but probably will
be reported on Tuesday or Wednesday,
its terms having been practically agreed
on by the Republican members of the com
mittee, and Senator Piatt (Conn.), chair
man of tho committee, having indicated
his purpose to lay the bill before the
full membership at an early day.
Tho bill agreed on provides for a
straight reduction of five years of 20
per cent of the duty on Cuban goods
coming Into the United States without
Imposing conditions as to Immigration and
labor, or, Indeed, any other conditions.
It Is the present intention to have the
Republican Senators caucus on the bill
reported, with the hope of maklng.it a
party measure and thus avoiding the di
visions in the party ranks which were
experienced over the question in the House
of Representatives. The naval and Dis
trict of Columbia appropriation bills prob
ahly will be reported during the week,
but their immediate consideration will
depend largely on the readiness of Sen
ators to. continue the discussion of the
canal question.

(Continued1 from First Page.)
mons. This statement Is eagerlyawalted,
as It Is understood Mr. Balfour will en
lighten his hearers as to the conditions
upon which the 'Boers surrendered- On
this important point no further informa
tion has been forthcoming other than the
Intelligent anticipations with which the
papers have been filled for the past week.
Concessions Were Small.
Cabling from - Pretoria, the correspond
ent of the Dally Mall, after announcing
tho signing of the terms of surrender,
saya the British authorities absolutely re
jected the suggestion qt the Boer dele
gates that the terms of surrender should
be ratified by Mr. Kruger, and declared
that the Boers In Europe had no hand In
the settlement.
"The terms will show," continues the
correspondent, "that the British Govern
ment carried Its contentions on every vital
point, while tho minor concessions, par
ticularly those in regard to the generous
financial treatment, will greatly appeal to
tho Boers In general. Tho value o Lord
Kitchener's personality as a factorjln the
conclusion of beace can never be overesti
mated. There is no'doubt that peace will
be popular among the Boers."
, Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, the
Xilberat leader m the. House of Commons,
said in- an Interview on the "announce
ment ot peace: $
' "The "whole country will rSJoIce over
peace.; I know nothing of tlje terms or
conditions, but I hope they are such as
will be- full of promise for-tbe future."
-- , In Other English Cities.
The large cities of England, notably
Liverpool and Manchestercelebrated tho
receipt of the new3 from Sjputh Africa In
k manner similar to that -tfhich prevailed
In London. The country where almcst
every member of the Cabinet had gone
fbr the week end, heard the news too
late "for any organized rejoicings. Wher
ever' telegrams had reached throughout
tna.whole United Kingdom, or where the
glad tidings had become known by any
other means, the keynote of the senti
ments expreased and of the cqlcbratlons
was: "Thank God it Is over."
What Newspapers Say.
In the absence of any terms of peace,
the editorials in this morning's papers are
rather stereotyped and uninteresting, ex
pressing generally arid without any undue
exultation 'thankfuness that the long
ana arduous struggle Is ended and a hope
that the peace will be enduring. The
papers recognize al30 that thero Is a great
and difficult task r ahead In conciliating
and reconstructing" South Africa, and, as
the Morning Post significantly observes,
"to take the right means to prevent what
has been won north of Orange River from
being lost to the south of It."
In this connection It should be remarked
that there' are ' still some small -Boer
commandoes in jCape Colony and prob
ably elsewhere - which were not repre
sented at the Vereenlging conference.
The Dally Graphic In this connection
says:
"Thl3 Is a consideration which may well
chasten our sense of triumph today. We
have done great things In tho war, but
we still have greater things to achieve
In peace."
While expressing the need of admira
tion for and gratitude to the British
troops, almost all the newspapers un
grudgingly testify to the bravery of the
Boers. On this subject the Standard
says: ,
"Assuredly, the Boers have no reason
to look back with humiliation on the
events of the campaign. Although de
feated, they aro not disgraced."
The Standard still further exhorts the
nation to accept Its victory In a calm
and dignified manner, and not to Indulge
In "unbecoming or offensive demonstra
tions of jubilation.
Te Daily. Chronicle says:
"We have, gained peace with honor. If
our statesmen are henceforth wise In
making use of their opportunities, we
shall find that, we have also gained peace
with good-will."
Tho Dally News says:
"It will do most to glvo us dignity and
nobility In the hour of victory If wo pay
homags to the Immense and heroic cour
age of our foes. Let us think of them
not as enemies, but as the "bravest fight
ers who ever met us In the field."
The Dally Telegraph Bays:
"It Is well for England that this crisis
arose to be encountered when it did.
Later it would have been too late. Tho
danger we have met and mastered was
a mortal danger, and England alone, of
all the powers of Europe, possesses
wealth, energy, command of sea and In
domitable steadfastness of national tem
perament, which has been taxed to pre
vail over the most insidious and for
midable hostility by which the colonial
dominion of any emplro has ever been
attacked."
Holiday In South Africa.
The dispatches received hero from
South Africa, describe the rejoicings in
all the principal towns thero which fol
lowed the announcement of peace yester
day and say that today, Monday, has
been proclaimed a general holiday.
In an editorial on the news from South
Africa the Times points out that thero
can be no treaty, but merely, as Lord
Kitchener names it, a document contain
ing "terms "of surrender." Tho Times
is confident that the terms offered to
General Botha a year ago have been
virtually maintained.
The newspaper-is equally certain that
the Interests of the loyal colonists,
whether of Dutch'.or British blood, have
not been overlooked In the settlement.

BRITISH EMBASSY JUBILANT.
Terms Were Probably Liberal Will
Help Our Trade.
WASHINGTON, June '1. The officials of
the British Embassy are sharing the Ju"
bllant feeling over the -settlement of the
war In South Africa. Official notice ot
the signing ofthe terms ot surrender came
to Mr. Ralkesj the British Charge here.
In a cablegram from the Foreign Office.
It was very brief, and was In accord with
tho statements contained In the Aesoclated
Press dispatches. It probably will be

communicated formally to the United
States Government tomorrow. Nothing
official has been received by the State De
partment from Ambassador Choate at
London, or any other source. President
Roosevelt was furnished a copy of the
Associated Press dispatch, giving the
news of the signing of the surrender
terms.
The Impression prevails in official cir
cles that the terms of surrender named
by the British in their negotiations with
tho Boers have been very liberal In char
acter, perhaps from the double desire to
bring the war to a close and to have this
happy event formally proclaimed, before
the coronation of King Edward. From a
commercial point of view, the cessation of
hostilities will result beneficially to Amer
ican exports to South Africa, the reports
Issued from time to time by the foreign
commerce bureau of the State Department
showing that they have suffered conslder
ablyt since the beginning of the war.
Interest on Transvaal Bonds.
PRETORIA, June 1. A proclamation
which was Issued yesterday in connec
tion with the signing of the peace terms
last night declares that, notwithstand
ing the proclamations of Mr. Kruger, In
terest on the bonds of the Transvaal Re
public would be suspended so long as the
war lasted, such interest shall begin to
accrue June 1.
June. 26 and 27, the days of King Ed
ward's coronation, have been proclaimed
public holidays here.
French Somewhat Regretful.
PARIS, June 2. The news of peace In
South Africa reached Paris too late for
publication in the afternoon papers, did
not become generally known yesterday
evening, and hence caused no excitement.
This morning's papers, however give due
prominence to dispatches announcing the
fact, and describing the way the news
was received In London. The comments
of the press are mostly tinged with regret
nt the failure of the Boers to secure inde
pendence, and highly praise the courage
and tenacity of the defeated people.

THE ISSUES.
If no National Issues are Involved In
this campaign, why have the Democrats
circulated antl-expanslon speeches made
by Democratic leaders In Congress?
"Why Is It necessary to spread tho slan
ders against the American soldiers In
the Philippines, If the contest Involves
only state issues? The Democrats deny
that National Issues are Involved, and
yet seek to make rotes by circulating
literature supplied by the Democratic
campaign managers in Washington.
Will Republicans permit their opponents
to entrap -them by this double dealing?

Engineers and Firemen May Join.
NEW YORK, June 2. Members of the
Safety Association ot Engineers and ot
the Firemen's Executive Union are re
ported to have announced that they In
tend to assist the striking coalminers by
refusing to handle soft coal for use in
this city. The union has not yet taken
formal action. Should the threat be car
ried out by the members of the two
unions it will mean the closing of many
factories and business houses. Anthra
cite coal has become so scarce that many
of the factories hive been compelled to
use soft coal. The two unions named In
tend to take this action because they say
their members are arrested for using soft
coal, only last week one of them being
fined $25 for a violation of tha smoke ordi
nance. Dr. Barrows Very Lotv.

ANOTHER WONDER OF SCIENCE.
Blolocry Mos Proved That Dandruff
Is Caused by a Germ.
Sclcnco Is doing wonders these days in
medicine as well as in mechanics. Since
Adam delved, the human race has been
troubled with dandruff, for which no hair
preparation has heretofore proved a suc
cessful cure until Newbro's Herplcide
was put on the market. It is a scientific!
preparation that kills the germ that
makes dandruff or scurf by digging into
the scalp to get at the root of the hair,
where it saps the vitality; causing itch
ing scalp, falling hair and finally bald
ness. Without dandruff hair must grow
luxuriantly. Herplcide at all druggists.
It is the only destroyer of dandruff.
