Other Mine Workers Will Do as Reese
Has Done

ing the action of Federal Judge Williams
at Fort Scott, Kan, imprisoning John p.
Reese for alleged contempt, James Boston,
who Is also member of the national ex-
ecutive board of United Mine Workers of
America, made the assertion tonight that
he would at once go into the southeastern
Kansas coal fields, that he would do pre-
cisely as Mr.. Reese had done, and that if
Judge Williams should imprison him for
contempt, his place would be taken by an
other member of the national executive
board, who would do as Reese has done.
He added that a member of the board
would be kept constantly in the coal fields
urging the non-union men there to quit
work, despite the federal courts injunc-
ton.

WANT A F0OTHOLD IN EAST
If the Democrats Attempt to Evade or
Subordinate the Silver Issue
They Will No Longer Be
Their Allies

Chicago, November Gothic. silver republi-
cans in conference here Tuesday and
Wednesday planned, it announced, to ally
themselves with and to make use of the
"anti-imperialism'' agitation especially in
the eastern states where the silver issue
does not attract much attention. Co-opera-
ton with Edward Atkinsons following will
be sought.
The purpose of the silver republicans is to
gain, If possible, with this new issue foot
hold in eastern states, so that their party
can more truly claim to be national or
ganization, and thus become more effect
i've whip for holding the democrats to the
Bryan and 16 to 1 line. This is one reason
why the silver republicans want to hold
big national convention of 1000 or more
delegates next year. Confirmation of this
plan came today from Ex-senator Dubois
of Idaho, chairman of the silver republican
executive committee.
There is no place for republican anti
imperialists of New England and the coast
to give support to our party said Dubois.
The associated composition of the United
States for several years convinces them
lnat SllVer leglSlatlOn can not De passed LOT
many years yet. On anti-imperialism and
kindred questions they are all one with us.
1 am satisfied they will come to us. l ex-
pect to see former Governor Boutwell, of
Massachusetts,, Edward Atkinson and men
like them sitting as delegates to our con-
venton. We have planned for big con-
vention of 10000 or more.
"Our convention, if held at the same
place and time as the democratic conven-
ton, will be a powerful stimulus against
any concessions by that party to the. forces
of unrighteousness. We have not much to
fear on this score, however. We are pretty
well satisfied that the democrats will re-
affirm the platform of 1896 and renominate
Mr.. Bryan. This will be enough. If, how
ever, they should seek to evade or subordi-
nate the silver issue we will not be their
allies. In such a case we will do what
many silver republicans wanted to do in
1896, establish a separate organization and
nominate a separate ticket"

a fortune left him by his father, Russian
nobleman. He is an expert horseman,
riding master, and Is handsome. He did
not lack for fair pupils, and they vowed he
was the most polite man they ever met.

The official estimate places the number
of Boer shells fired during the lombard

at no fewer than six. As the enemy's so

The Beers are now firing on the reservoir

Havana, November 3O.-The Patria says
today:
This is Thanksgiving Day. Let us thank
God for the dear good fellows, the Ameri-
can soldiers, who have come here to edu-

caused by Uncle Mckinley, who shakes the
end of the cable when ever me wants to
amuse himself. Let US also be thankful
that our streets are swept, and that small
places are asphalted in order to avoid any
thing that would disturb the slumbers of
our dear rulers. Thanks also let US offer
to our Italian bishop, and to Mister Frye
and Mister Pitcher, who has so simplihed
justice to us. Above all, let us thank Mis-
ter Ludlow for freeing the present genera

Awaited with Anxiety

New York, November 9O.-A dispatch to
the New York World from London says:
The casualty list of the Modder river
fight is awaited with the keenest anxiety.
A rumor is current that the English
losses, including both the killed and
wounded, probably were 500.
Distressing scenes were witnessed about
the war office where relatives of the Off
GERS and men engaged in the battle waited
in agonizing suspense for news.
1t is understood that the war Office re-
ceived the first rough estimate of the
casualties at p. M, but refused to give
out any information. The inflated language
of General Methuen's dispatch excites I'M
