TRYING To ROOL THE BOEEs
Pretended Calm In England Pendine
War preparations

London, September 19.-Summonses
were issued late this afternoon Tor a
cabinet council, which IL is understood.
will be held Friday. This is regarded
as the result of the visit OF the pre-
mier, Lord Salisbury. To London. with
er he came this afternoon, remaining
at the foreign office from 4:30 o'clock
D.. m. to $50 p. IN. Joseph Chamber
lain, the secretary Of state for the coli
onies, was present in the building AT
the same time and as n private door
way onnec the Offices, 1t Is presumed
that the summonses were the result OF
their Joint deliberations
The lack Of all excitement in official
circles bears evidence to the deliberate
manner in which the highest officials
are handling the crisis. Nor iS IL by
any means certain that the cabinet
council will adopt extreme measures,
in spite OF the uncOmpromising nature
Of the Boer reply. This deliberation on
the part OF the government is inter-
preted, not only in London, but in other
European capitals, as a desire on the
part Of Great Britain TO gain time
while the transports are hurrying'-o
Cape Colony.
The Berliner Neueste Nachrichten-
commenting on this today says: Tho
present calm is only meant to deceive
the Beers. When England feels equal
to the task OF facing the Beers his
peaceful tone will give way to a bla-
tant cry for war"
Even rumors of a movement OF the
Beers across the Natal border appar-
emily fail to excite the military author
tiles here, who profess at least not to
fear such contingency for the present.
In the meantime the movement OF
troops proceeds. The Royal West Sus-
sex regiment left today for Malta,
where 1t will replace the First Border
steamer to Natal.
1t is this evening that the
British first class protected cruisers
Terrible and Powerful have both been
ordered to the Cape. They have re-
liefs on board for forming "A naval bril-
gade OF 1000 men.
The steamer Jelunga will take five
hundred troops bound for Natal tomor-
row and she will embark a rife brig
ade at the island OF Crete for the Cape.
According to a dispatch from Durham
Natal. the premier Of the colony says
that the alarm OF the people OF Natal
at the unprotected conditions OF the
border towns is quite unwarranted.
The Pail Mall Gazette prints a dis
patch fom Cape Town which says:
THE general impression is that the
Beers Will at once AXE initiative and
an attack is expected at any hour"
Troops continue TO leave Cape Town
for Kimberly n north and the first
class cruiser Terrible sailing from
Portsmouth for China is said TO have
been ordered to go TO Cape Town In
stead OF Suez.
Nothing is yet known regarding the
date OF the expected abine council.

DEATH OF LIEUTENANT COLONEL
MILEY.
Lieutenant Colonel John D. Miley, in
spector general of volunteers, died to-
day at Manila. The information each-
ed the war department in a cablegram
from General Otis. His death was due
to cerebral meningitis, attendant on ty-
phoid fever. Colonel Miley's rank in
the regular army vas first lieutenant,
Second artillery.
Colonel MilCy was generally regarded
as one of the brightest among the junior
officers of the army, and his record was
remarkably brilliant. He enjoyed the
distinction of being recommended by
his superior officer for direct promo
ton from the grade of lieutenant to the
rank of brigadier general. This was
proposed by General Shafter in recog-
milton OF the splendid services which
Lieutenant Miley had rendered while
his chief of staff in the Santiago cam

bflity of such a Move Point
ed Out

Havana, September 1S.-One OF the
principal cigar merchants in Cuba,
when interviewed today regarding the
reported consolidation of tobacco inter-
ests, said that he knew nothing Of any
plan to consolidate the manufacturing
cigar houses of New York, Chicago,
Tampa, and Key West, nor Of any Tam
pa cigar syndicate.
"The effect of moving factories from
Havana to Tampa" he said, eff done
with the idea of importing the Cuban
leaf and making Havana cigars in Tam
pa, would not be such as to commend
it to fnanciers. Even if the cigars
should he really ais good as those now
made in Havana, the product would not
obtain THE confidence of foreign mar
kets, where it would certainly be said
that the cigars contained a mixture
of American tobacco. If the cigars
were sent back to Havana and then
reshippet as Havana cigars, all the
profits, as Well as all the confidence
would be destroyed"
The municipality of Sagua has de-
cided to assemble all the owners OF to-
bacco factories in the district in order
to ascertain whether any Of them use
foreign tobacco and if that should prove
to be the ease. to discuss means of pre-
vention.
In the Cierfuegos district the sugar
planters are ~discharging many hands,
owing to the smallness OF the crop.

Hong Kong, September 1S.-The
American gunboat Pampango chased
the British steamer Y~uen-Sang from

sighted the steamer off the north coast
of the island of LuzOn, and suspected
that she was a filibuster.
The Pampango fired three shots which
the Yuen-Sang disregarded until the
third she'll exploded near her. She
then stopped and the commander or
the gunboat boarded the Yuen-Sang,
found he had made a mistake and
apologized. An American grnboat,
name unknown, followed the British
steamer Diarnte, bound from Manila
to Hong Kong. The warship sighted
the steamer near Subig bay during the
night of September 10Th and whistled
signals to stop. The signals were dis
regarded and the gunboat ran along
side the Diamte, getting SO close that
her guns tore away the Diamte's out
rigging. Her passengers were thrown
into a panic. The gunboat, On learning

AN uNAMERlcAN CAMPAIGN.

In his eagerness to secure votes Fred
White, the Democratic candidate for
governor, has instituted new and en-
tirely un-American plan of campaign.
In brief he = is using every effort to
arouse race feeling for the purpose
of drawing the Germans and others
of foreign parentage away from the
Republican party. He hopes to be the
beneficiary Of such move and he has
carefully weighed his chances and is
bending every effort to succeed. In
furtherance Of this scheme Mr.. White
took the stump several weeks earlier
than the date arranged for the opening
of the campaign by the Republicans.
This was part Of his scheme, and the
second step was to so arrange his ap-
pointments that he would be able to
speak in most of the localities where
there is a considerable German ele-
ment among the voters, before the Re-
publican speakers reached those points.
His opening speech was at Davenport,
and at that time he plainly indicated
the manner in which he proposed to
make the contest. He deliberately be-
headed his party's platform by refus-
ing to say word about 1G to / and
dismissing the whole money question
With not half minutes reference.

HOW THE BOYS FEEL.
FRED WHITES CHARGES AGAINST
THEM ANSWERED..

Iowa Boys We're Not Compelled to Fight
Against the Filipinoh, but They Were
True to the Flag and Fought to Defend
It-They Believe the War Should Be
Pushed-Colonel Lopez Says "We Are
All American Soldiers and Stand by the
Flag"
The return Of the Fifty-irst regi-
ment from the Philippines and the
heartfelt welcome which goes out to
them from every loyal citizen of Iowa
is in marked contrast with the Ian
guage that has been used during the
campaign by Candidate Fred White
and by General Weaver and others
who are supporting the Democratic
ticket by assailing the administration
and branding the boys who have been
unfolding the hands of the president
as "tyrants."
It is well, in these closing days Of
the campaign, to remember that Fred
White used the following expressions
in nearly every public speech he has
made since the campaign commenced:
''In the long list of bloody deeds that
disgrace humankind, none, it seems to
me, is SO entirely black and dastardly
as the awful drama that we are now
enacting-the carrying on of war by
fire and sword into the devoted homes
of an innocent people who never did
us the slightest wrong and who bat
tied for their freedom centuries before
the American colonies raised the ban
ner of revolt against George III. TO
heed not the holy inspirations of a
people who are striving to secure only
their God given heritage Of freedom is
worthy of the barbarian. To slaughter
such people and apply the torch to
their homes are acts that define the
tyrant.'
Il care not from whom this sicken.

Contest In the Big Sixth.

LINCOLN, Nov. Juan Boyle, late
chairman of the congressional commit
tee of the Sixth Nebraska district, is
paving the way for contest in the
event of election Of William Neville,
the Populist nominee for congress in
the district to fill a vacancy. Recently
Secretary of State Porter instructed
county clerkss to prepare ballots maxi
ing Judge Neville the nominee of both
Populists and Democrats. Boyle re-
sisted, claiming Neville had not been
nominated by the Democrats and Mon
day secured an order in court restrain
ing the secretary from so instructing.
Copies of the court order were today
sent to every county clerk in the dis
trict. No penalty attaches to the clerks
whatever action they take, but if they
ignore the order and Judge Neville is
elected Boyle says he will urge con-
test in the lower house at Washington.

FREIGHT RATECASD.0N
South Dakota Maximum Tariff
Law Before Supreme Court.
KITTREDGE OPENS FOR RAILROAD.

Attorney General Pyle and Mr.. Null APP
pear for the State-Case Is Argued at
Length Before the Supreme Court at
National Capital.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-Argument was
heard by the United States supreme
court yesterday in the South Dakota
maximum railroad case, involving the
validity of the South Dakota state law
of 1897, fixing the maximum charge for
transporting passengers and freight in
the state of South Dakota. 1t is esti-
mated that the enforcement of the rate
provided by the law would amount to
an annual reduction of freight rates in
the state of S6S2, 900 and of passenger
rates of $226,0o0. Attorney General
Pyle of South Dakota and L. H. Null
appeared for the state and George r.
Peck and A. B. Kttredge for the rail
roads.
Mr.. Kittriage presented the side Of
the company and he occupied the atten-
ton of the court for more than two
hours. Mr.. Null followed in behalf of
sustaining the decision of the lower
court. Attorney General Pyle referred
to points of the brief of the state. At
the request of the attorneys for the
railroad commissioners an additional
hour was granted by Justice Fuller to
each side. This carried the case over
until today.

Decides Against Labor Unions.

P1TTsBURG, Nov. IAN important de-
cision was handed down by Judge
White Of the county courts against
labor unions. The case was one which
caused a great deal of comment in labor
circles all over the country. O. L. FLAG
Gus, glass manufacturer, brought suit
against the Glass Workers union to
prevent them from inducing the appren.
tees of the plaintiff to join the union.
The decision holds that the plaintiff has
right to operate his factory independ-
ent of the union and that the defend
ants have no right to persuade his APP
prentices to become members of their
organization.
