Colorado Miners Are Waiting For
Overtures.

Denver, Colo, June 23.-The managers
of the smelters owned by the American
Smelling and Refining company are still
comforting and arranging labor scales
while the strikers are quietly await
ing overtures. 1t is conceded by both
sides to the controversy resulting from
the operations of the new eight hour
law that nothing stands between the
managers and the men that can not be
arranged in an hour and the resumption
of operations at the SmelterS is not
likely to be delayed beyond a few days

Special to the Register.
STUBENVILLE, o., October g.
John L. Beatty, OF this city, who was a
candidate for Lieut.. Governor on the
Democratic ticket, has received a let
ter from Edw. Boyce, President of the
Western Federation of Miners, rela-
i've to the cruel treatment of miners at
Wardner, Idaho, by Gen. Merriman U.
S. A., who is there with troops doing the
bidding of the Standard Oil Company.
Gen. Merriman's attitude toward or
gained labor is shown in the following:
Since the trouble largely originates
in hostile organizations of men known
as labor unions, would suggest a law
making the formation of such unions or
kindred societies a crime"
Boyce writes: Your communication
relative to the treatment of prisoners
in the Wardner bull-pen is received. |
assure you that / am pleased to know
that you are taking such an interest
in those unfortunate men who have
been held prisoners since May 3rd,
without any charge being preferred
against them. Their treatment surpass-
es anything ever attempted in the Unit
ed States. as they are not permitted TO
consult with counsel or see any of their
friends. If these men are guilty of any
crime they should get a trial and not
be subject to such cruel treatment |
am well satisfied from my interview
with President Mckinley that he is
satisfied with anything an army officer
does. even to starving the men to

POINT PLEASANT, Ohio, October 8.
Pete Niber. of this place, was out
hunting yesterday, using muzzIe-
loading shotgun. On his return home,
ne stopped to rest, putting his gun on
a stump, breech down, and was holding
it by the muzzle, when the gun slipped,
the hammers striking the stump and
dlscharging the gun. the contents tore
off the front part of his left wrist, and
entering the left side just above the
heart, made hole about one inch in
diameter. He is now in a very critical

SPECTACULAR FEATURE

osths Chicago Day charlottesville Great
Chinese Dragon Novel Feature
CHICAGO, October 9.-The most
spectacular outdoor feature of the fall
festival-the parade of all nations, took
place tonight and was viewed by thou
sands, in streets, in the downtown dis
trict being literally a solid mass of hui
manity for the entire length Of the
parade. The parade in which marched
representatives Of fourteen countries,
including Germany, Venezuela, Switzer-
land, Brazil, the Netherlands. Austria,
and Hungary, Scotland, Armenia and
Assyria, Belgium, China, Italy and the
United States, included nearly thirty
floats, some of them extremely beauti-
full and novel. The one that attracted
the most attention was the great Chi
nese dragon, which was shipped here
from San Francisco for the all nations
parade. The dragon, which was nearly
500 feet long, was carried on the shoul-
ders Of 200 men, and its immense jaws
and nostrils were burned red and green
fire in quantities that lit up the parade
for blocks.
The parade was to have been review
ed by President Mckinley, but on ae-
count of the lateness Of the hour at
which the military and civic parade
was concluded and the Chicago Day
banquet at the Auditorium. at which
the President and other distinguished
visitors were the guests Of honor, this
was found impossible.

LONDON, October 9.-The vastness
of Great Britain's military preparations
seemingly oat of all proportion to the
work on hand in South Africa-was not
fully realized by the public until the
war Office announced that $4,000 reserv-
es had already been summoned TO re-
join the colors. AS matter of fact
Gen. Redvers Butler will command as
many British soldiers as the Duke OF
Wellington, the conqueror Of the first
Napoleon, ever saw collected in one
battlefield.
The reasons back of this lavish dis
play are probably fear of native ris-
ing and possibly conviction of the ad-
visibility of showing Europe that
Great Britain is prepared to resent
any action resulting from the prevalent
continental ill-wlll.
In this connection the action of the
American department of State and the
friendly statements of President Nc
Kinley and Secretary of State Hay pub
lished here are heartily welcomed as
happy return for Great Britain's re-
fusal to sanction continental interven-
tion in the war between the United
States and Spain.
AS the Beers failed to attack Natal
when the colony was vulnerable it is
beginning to be felt that they are pur-
suing deliberate policy of waiting for
the British proposals, remaining in the
meantime on the defensive in the hope
of thus winning the sympathies of the
world, and, leaving to Great Britain the
ignominy of starting hostiiities. II
they await the arrival of Gen. Sir Red
vers Butler, it is conceivable that peace
will not be broken during the present
year. Should that prove the case and
should the alleged wastage in the Boer
Commanders continue the force con-
fronting the British commanding gem
eral will be neither as numerous nor
as efficient as that now encamped
along the Natal border.
Events have thus seemed to shape
themselves to secure ample pause for
consideration.
All the proposals in the correspond
ence between President Steyn, of the
Orange Free State. and Sir Alfred Mil
ner, British high commissioner in South
Africa, show that the negotiations were
proceeding up to October 6, and that
neither despaired Of peace, Sir Alfred
Miner saying he was sure any reason
able proposal would be favorably con-
sidered by the British government.
President Steyn's virtual proposal of a
neutral zone to be created pending fur
Their attempts at Cancellation, meets
with considerable approval.
The real intentions of the premier,
the Marquis of Salisbury, may be ex-
pected to develop shortly. AS at pres
ent arranged the work Of the session,
which will begin October II, will con-
sist of the Queens speech, dealing ex-
, clusively with the South African ques-
ton, the voting of the credit and the
passage of an appropriation bill. This
will occupy three weeks. The legisla-
tive plans Of the government will not
be disclosed until parliament meets
again in February, and no private bills
will be allowed to be introduced. Ow-
ing to the drain on the military re-
sources OF colonial reliefs have been
stopped for year.

MES, Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, returned
