night. The press and composing rooms
were in darkness, but the editorial
room presented the usual appearance.
The Sun appeared yesterday morning
with only four pages in it's news sec

impossible for the paper to be pub

was ordered and sanctioned by Typo

yesterday in Teutonia hall at one of
the largest and most enthusiastic meet

CLEVELAND BOYCOTT RESISTED.
Strike Leaders Say They Are Not Back of

Strike Leaders Say They Are Not Back of
the Movement
Cleveland, Aug. About $50 repre-
have signed resolutions denouncing the
boycott and these resolutions were
adopted at a meeting Saturday. The
business agent of the strikers has is
sued statement in which he says the
strikers are not back of the boycott
movement. He says they are very
grateful to their sympathizers who
have refrained from riding on the cars,
but they are not in favor of using the
boycott to punish people who are will
ing to ride on the cars.
Saturday mornings newspapers con-
tanned a statement from Mayor Far
ley about professional labor men," in
which no names were mentioned, but
in which the mayor severely scored the
agitators. Saturday afternoon Peter
Witt, a Populist orator, brought suit
for $4,000 damages against the mayor
and each of the two papers that pub
lished the statement, claiming that
the mayor referred to him. Mayor Far
never saw him.
Ii is announced that all the military
will be withdrawn from Cleveland per-
haps before tonight Yesterday was one
of the Quietest days since the begin
ming of the strike. Violence has ceased
entirely, and there is no apprehension
of a fresh outbreak The action of the
merchants in declaring their purpose
to resist the boycott has already had
its effect. The cars were well patron
lied Yesterday.

AsToNIsHMENT AT HAVANA.
New York View of Extradition Puzzles the
Authorities in Cuba.


Havana, Aug. THE release from
custody of L. L. Sloane, recently ar
rested IN his arrival at New York at
the request of the Havana authorities
on a charge of robbery, on the ground
that there is NO eXtradition treaty be-
tween the United States and Cuba, has
astonished the lawyers and judges of
Havan as well as General Ludlow, the
military governor.
General Ludlow is reported to have
said that as the country is under mill
tary occupation by United States, with
the American flag flying and American
governors in charge under direct con-
troll of the president and congress, he
cannot understand the action of the
magistrate by whose order the prison
er was discharged.
The Sloane case is comparatively un-
important, but something may occur
in the future that will prove serious
matter.

SHAW TO A LABOR LEADER.

Bawkeye Governor Resents Some Re-
marks About Iowa Volunteers.
Des Moines, Ia, Aug. 7.-Governor
Shaw received circular letter sent out
by Edward Rosenberg. secretary of the
San Francisco Labor council, de-
nouncing the plan of the administra-
ton to muster out in San Francisco
the regiments returning from the Phil
ippines. The writer declares that the
members of the Fifty-first and other
regiments would be overwhelmed by
the irresistible attractions of San Fran
cisco, and so ''go broke" They would
then have to beat their way home on
trains" and run the risk of being
thrown off these trains in the desert
by vigilant trainmen. 1t was claimed
that it would oVerstock the San Fran
cisco labor market. The letter was
written in a spirit strongly against the
Philippine war.
The governor replied in a caustic
manner. He said in part: You must
have failed to have come in contact
with the Fifty-first Iowa when in camp
at your city. They will not
become soldier tramps,' nor will they
attempt to beat the trains, nor will
they be put off on mountains and in
deserts, and there miserably perish.
/ fear, my dear sir, you have
not kept much in touch with the
thought and sentiment of your coun-
try"
The governor quotes from speech
delivered by Governor Kirkwood these
words: IF you hear any one utter one
syllable against the government of the
United States of against the president
thereof, or against the cause for which
our boys are fighting, or do aught in
disrespect to the flag that waves over
them, shoot him where he stands. They
may arrest you, they may try you, they
may convict you, but they shall never
hang you. I'm governor of Iowa.
