NO BASIS FOR \ CLAIM.
Indemnity for strikers Killed at
HazeIton, Pc, Refused by Government

The State Department, after mature con-
s.deration. has declined to recognize the
claim Of the Aus;ro-HunSarian government
Tor indemnity on account Of the Hungarian
strikers killed by Sheriff Martins posse at
HazeIton. Pa. September 10. 1897
The claim has been pending for many
months upon the basis of a report filed
With the State Department by Robert d.
Coke. the representative OF the Austro-
Hungarian government.
The departments action is based upon a
special opinion prepared by Solicitor W. l..
FeutleId covering the entire field OF national
responsibility in such cases OF mob violence
or rio-IuE, which probably will form the
ba-is Of future decisions in that line. In
his opinion Solicitor Penteid goes over so
much OF the evidence produced upon the
trial of Sheriff Martin seemed to be
Necessary TO establish the facts He states
TIE principles by which the Department of
State is bound. and concludes as follows:
The strikers were disrurbers of the pub
lie peace and viOlators Of the law. They
were rapidly drifting into a state of petty
war IL was the duty Of the sheriff to take
measures To prevent. as well as to reDresS,
civil tumul;s and disorders On previous oc-
CaSions he had commanded them TO disperse
and they had obeyed They were perfectly
familiar with his official position and the
nature of the authority he exercised.

Is therefore unable to admit the justice of

Provision for increasing the supply of

Shaler of the ordnance department ex-
planned the proposed increase of facilities.
AT present the armory at Springfield. even
on doub e appropriation and double time,
cannot supply small arms as fast as the
army requires. The War Department there
fore recommends an appropriation of $780,

at the Rock Is and arrnory. The buildings
and power are already there, and with the
machinery and fixtures the government
output of small arms can be brought up

DIR. PattOB's Address.

After the coffee had been served and ci-
gars and cigarettes lighted Justice Hagner
presented Dr. Francis L. Patton, president
OF the university, who made a neat speech,
in which he told of the progress and needs
of Princeton. His remarks contained many
humorous allusionS and We're greatly ap-
pTeciated. He took very hopeful view for
the future of the university over which he
presides, and said he believed that the re-
turning prosperity of the country would
usher in renewed prosperity for Princeton
Never during the ten years of his pres1-
dency had he felt justified in such opti-
mistic views as could be entertained at the
present time. He said even late as
twenty-five years ago Princeton had de-
pended for her endowments upon wealthy
men, who to large extent felt the need
of encouraging means for education, be-
cause of difficulties III that line experienced
by them in their early days. So far as he
could see endowments from men of this
class were not now to be depended upon,
and he believed they wou d come in the
future largely from the sons of Princeton
There were many things needed by the uni
versity. in charging its usefulness, and he
believed the alumni would be equal to pro-
viding these things. He said there was
sentiment in favor of giving the alumni
voice and vote In the control of the uni
versity. That was not a new idea with
him, but he could not speak of it definitely.
He believed the tendency was in that di-
~ac+'cn. Fe said that IN fen wears the uni-
versity had doubled her endowments and
the number OF her students buildings.
This year they had the largest freshman
class that had ever been enrolled by the
university.

OUR BOYS ARE a C.

Our boys, u soldier sons are back
From where a savage false and black.
Shoots from an ambush, or at night.
And murders with a fiend's delight.
Our boys are back! God bless the dayl
That sent them on their homeward way;
That brought them to the land they love
The land endowed by Him above.
The mothers heart that yearned and
sighed
Through heightened day It'll eventide.
And then through darkness hungered
still,
Now feels a joyous, thankful thrill.
And he who saw his boy depart,
But in his pride concealed his heart,
Will on this day give vent to joy,
Fol- safe return of his loved boy.
All up n down the Treasure State
Are sung the songs that love dictate:
Our boys are home; W. grasp their
hand
No nobler deeds could we demand.
Wherever stood the barbarous foe
In easerness they sought to go;
No matter what stood in their path.
They faced and fought it in it's wrath.
For years to come the poets pen
Will sing of these Montana men.
Who. far off, fevered. scourged with ills,
Proved we'll the valor Of our hills.
But somewhere in a lonely place
A Saddened mother hides her face:
This day for her no gladness sings,
A difge for her each note it brings.
May she take solace from the fame
That glorities her loved ones name:
And while she journeys here below
Feel that a nation shares her woe.

hind a hill. out Of sight from the Raleigh
gunners was a brick house full of Flip
mos, who were doing some execution.
The signa1man could see the house. He
signaled the Raleigh to drop a shell into
a certain square,, and the gunner fired
at the invisible house according to the
mar on the warship. The first shot went
high, and the man in the tower signaled
to fire lower. The second shot just graz
ed the top of the house. Then followed
some more wig-wagging. The third shot,
