PASSING OF The BOERS.

The South African republics are
practically institutions of the past
The TraEsvaaI capital has fallen, the
Orange Free State has been formally
annexed to Great Britain, according
to London war office dispatch, and
the Beers are seeking safety from tie
invading armies OF the imperial con
queror.
1t is pathetic to see these brave
burghers crushed by superior mum
bers. And the sympathy of the Amer
lean people goes out TO them as it has
been extended in times gone by to
Greece. Hungary. Finland. Ireland.
Cuba and the South American repUb-
lies All these have been championed
by some OF the ablest and grandest
men that ever sat in our national halls
of legislation.
Perhaps no people in the world have
ever fought for independence and self
government since the establishment of
this republic more deserving of Amer
lean sympathy than are these peasants
of South Africa who have twice
trekked 10 ESCAPE the encroachments
of the very power which the founders
Of this government had to drive twice
from our shores.
The purpose of the war has been
apparent from the first, and Chamber
lain openly boasts now that it is the
inteEtion Of the British ministry to
make British colonies of the Boer re-
publics.
"The day of the small nation has
about passed" says a local organ of
imperialism. That is what English
newspapers said in 1872 when a second
attempt was made TO subjugate the
American people. It was what Spain
said when she refused autonomy to
Cuba tt was what Mckinley said
wher he refused to recognize the civil
government of the FiHpinos. 1t was
what the car of Russia said when he
toek possession of Finland.
But Lincoln said that no man is
good enough TO govern another man
without that others consent. Allow
all the governed an equal voice in the
government; that, and that only. is
lf-government
And this is the difference between
Americanism and imperialism.

7 RIFLES!

Our cars are no better-in themselves
than the cars of other lines. It is
what is INSIDE them that makes them
more comfortable.
For instance: The seats in our re-
clining chair cars are provided with
linen head pieces-clean and cool Our
dining cars have electric fans, and are
gorgeously decorated with flowers. In
every car is a thermometer, which the
porter constantly consults in order to
keep the temperature of his car as
nearly uniform as possible.
BY themselves. these things are tri-
aes. but the sum total of them goes a

 Celebration

At a meeting of the Trades Council held yesterday afternoon, delegates from the United Mine Workers, who have heretofore held aloof from that organization, were initiated. bringing into the council large body of men, who, while cooperating with the other labor organizations of the dis trict, have for some reason refrained from joining the central labor body The meet ing was largely attended, and much impor tant business was transacted.

EAST LAKE
Aurelia Sewall Will Appear-Kathleel
 Mavourneen the Play

"Kathleen Mavourneen," the popular old Irish drama, is to be produced at East Lake tonight under the direction of MT Frederic Herzog. This play has not been produced here for several years, and then by the Woodward-Warren Company, mak- ing such a hit at that time that it had to be repeated three nights. Undoubtedly this production upon which the artists have worked most faithfully, will be very meritorious, and the crowds as well as the pleasure of the patrons will be on the in- crease. The part of Kathleen will be rem dered by Minnie Seward, the Irish lover by MT E. P. Adams.
 New specialties will be introduced by MT. Homer T. Paxton and Frank Hall, and the winsome little Aurelia Sewall, the 10- year-old child dancer, who has so often won the hearts of the Elk, the Daughters of the Confectionery and various other charitable associations. This little star will appear for several nights at this pop ular resort where the best bill of the sea- son is announced.

FIVE NEGROES
 SEVERELY BURNED
Accident at Furnace No. 1 of
 SIoSS Company'S Plant
THE LINING COLLAPSED
Terrific Explosion Followed, Envelop- ing Men in Flames-Two Probably Fatally Injured and Others
 Are Badly Burned

Two negroes were probably fatally burned and three others seriouslyinjured by an eX- plosion of steam and gas at furnace No. 1 of the Sloss Steel and Iron Company s plant in the eastern part of this city yes- terday morning about Il o'clock
 The injured are:
 Intoish Young, probably fatally burned.
 John Armstrong, probably fatally burned.
 G. w. Mainey, Lewis Hodge and - Mar tin, badly burned, and more or less other wise seriously injured.
 The accident was caused by the falling of lmerock, iron ore and other material stacked around the inside of the furnace. The men were working around the bottom of the stack keeping up the fire to gener- ore, when without warning the mass ot material on the inside fell, completely cov- ering the flames, and causing a terrific ex- plosion of gas and steam. The flames shot out of the holes at the bottom of the fur mace in large sheets, enveloping the men before they had time to leave their posts. Young and Armstrong were burned from head to foot not a stitch of clothing be- ing left on them. On their bodies there was not a spot as large as dollar which had not been blistered
 Everything was done to alleviate the suf- fering of the men, but as the hospitals were all crowded, they had to be sent to their homes in various parts of the city.
 The furnace was in no way damaged and the only inconvenience experienced by the company was the removal of the fallen rock.

LAST WEEK OF SUMMER OPERA
Elite Opera Go. is Closing It's Successful
 Engagement Olfvetts Tonight

The Elite Opera Company will make the last week of it's engagement att Lakeview memorable one. For six successive weeks this company has furnished the amusement lovers of Birmingham with series of the most delightful entertainments ever seen in this city,. Birmingham has shown it's appreciatisn splenaidlwr and excepting rainy nights, the pretty theater at Lake view has been cruwded constantly. The final week will be thoroughly attractive one, consisting of a. series of the most popular operas that have been produced during the long season just closing.
 Tonight O1ivette will be the attraction. This was in many respects the most at- tractive opera of the season. as it is not only full of comedy, bright sayings and quick action, but is also loaded with pret- ty music Olivette was unfortunate when originally produced in that it was rained on almost constantly, but even with that handicap it was a splendid success
 OIivette has a number of popular char acters and has plenty of airs that one likes to hum after the performance is over. Miss Scruggs will again play the title role, and Miss vesey will appear as the countess, MT. Washburn as the gruff old Captain De Merrimac, Dr. McKenney as Valentine, NIT. Lucky as the schemeing Duke and Mr. Lightwood as Coquilfcot. Among the songs that made big hits in the original production were the "Sob Sang, "AH will admire from King to cottes,' the bridal chorus, Bob up Serenely," "The Torpedo and the Whale" the trio 'Silence, Silence, not Above a Whisper" and others
 Tomorrow night Oivette will be played a second time.. Wednesday, and Thursday "Mascott'' will be the attraction. Friday night "Mikado'' will be given, and Sat- urday night the season will close with an operatic concert.

THE IRON MARKET
 STILL DEPRESSED
Stocks Are Rapidly AccumuIat-
 ing on the Yards
SMALL SALES FOR EXPORT
Sloss Furnace No. and Williamson Furnace Banked, and the Hattie Ensley Furnace at Shef-
 field to Blow In

No. furnace of the Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron Company at First avenue and Thirtieth street, was banked Saturday for repairs. Several weeks will be required i'll which to make the necessary repairs, and it will therefore, be late in the fall be- fore it can be put in blast again.
 The Hattie Ensley furnace of the same company at Sheffield is about ready to go in blast and will be fired up the latter part of this week. It will probably make it's first run in about a week or ten days.
 The Williamson furnace, Powell avenue and Fourteenth street. operated by the Jones Valley Iron Company, has been banked and no definite date fixed to start it up again.
 The pig iron stocks on the local furnace yards have been increasing rapidly the past two months until now nearly all the storage space is occupied Some iron has been placed in the warrant yards. but that so placed represents but small portion of the make of the local furnaces.
 The depression in the iron market that has prevailed since early in June has re- suited in the closing down of a large number of furnaces, mostly in the North and West The weekly capacity of the fur naces in blast July 1 was 220OO tons less than on the first of June, and August the capacity of the furnaces in blast was de- creased nearly 40,0O0 more The weekly capacity of the furnaces in blast August 1 was 244,426 tons.
 There were few small bookings for ex- port shipment last week aggregating per- haps 2,000 or 5000 tons. 1t is stated that several thousand tons for export could have been sold if shipping facilities had been available. The freight charges on export shipments are almost prohibitive. It is said that on some. shipments made last week the freight charges were approximately $4.50 a ton. This high rate brings the net price to the manufacturer down to about $10 ton. It is not believed that any great amount of export business will be done until the conditions are somewhat improved, as 1t costs nearly $10 a ton to make iron now.
 Three furnaces of the Ensley steel mill were put in operation last week and the blooming mill runs the day turn.
 The domestic iron market Is unchanged from a week ago. There is still no demand for metal and stocks are rapidly accumu- lating all over the country. It was believed that the governments order for 35,0O0 tons of armor plate would accelerate the mar ket to some extent, but what little hope that was held out has been dashed by the refusal of all bids by the Secretary of the Navy.
