Already Is Taken.
The present seat of the Boer govern
ment, according to a dispatch from
Lourenzo Marques, dated yesterday, is
N1iddleburg, but it will probably be
shifted further east The Beers con.
fronting Lord Roberts appear to have
gone toward the Lydenburg region.
The defenders Of Laing's Mex, when
their position becomes too perilous,
will probably trek straight northward
toward Lydenburg. When this con-
centration takes place there will be
possibly 10000 men, who may hold
out for time, or scatter into bands Of
guerillas elsewhere. The press dis
patches from the headquarters of
Lord Roberts give no estimate as to
the number Of Beers who were fight

and the British casualties were slight.
Bennett Burleigh, wiring from Glands
fontein to the Daily Telegraph Tues
day, says: 'Much rolling stock and
seven engines have been captured by
Lord Roberts column. The principal
losses in the fighting have been sus-
tanned by the founted infantry, but
the casualties are trifling. Gen.
French and Gen. Hamilton were en-
gagged to the west of Johannesburg.
Since Sunday the western columns
have been fighting, but, although guns
were used, the actions were never
serious. In fact they were only big
Skirmishes. The Beers are retreating
to Pretoria"
Another rumor in the camp of Lord
Roberts is that President Kruger is
i'll at Lydenburg, and that the ammu-
milton of the Beers is running short.
M. II. Donohue, the correspondent Of
the Daily Chronicle, was captured
yesterday.
What to Do to Kruger.
Some discussion is going on in Lon
don as to what will be done to Presi-
dent Kruger if he is captured. One
idea is that he will be sent to st.
Helena and be tried for treason. The
Daily Express says: "Mr. Kruger's
London agent has invested $4,000 OF
the presidents money in, lands and
+ bonds, and to this fact may be as
cribed the failure of the Transvaalers
to blow up the mines.
The Times says: "Any further re-
sistance the Beers may offer will be
futile. The collapse of the Transvaal
as a militant state may be regarded as
complete. Threats of obstinate guer-
rilla warfare need not be taken more
seriously than the exploded menace
of resistance at johannesburg and Pre-
toria. The formal annexation of the
Transvaal will speedily follow. The
war is rapidly approaching it's close"

A PARADE IN PITTSToN.
The Miners of No. 1 District Jubilnnt
Over the Strike.

PITTSTON, Pa, Sept. 1S.-The mine
workers of the Pittston district are
growing enthusiastic over their success
in causing a general suspension of work
This has been the liveliest day this city
has witnessed since the agitation for
strike began. The union miners of Fitt-
ston and vicinity made demonstration
this afternoon, consisting of parade
and mass meeting. Fifteen local unions
were in line, and by actual count 1900
men and boys participated.
The showing made by the unions was
a great surprise to most people, and
proved that the organizers have dine
very successful work during the past few
days. The percentage of foreign speak
ing workmen in line was exceptionally
large The younger American element
was also large. The older American
miners were conspicuous by their alb
sence. They are nearly all idle, but they
are not so enthusiastic for the strike as
the younger ones. There were numerous
banners in line mo More Ten Hours
Work for sL50!" Come Down. Powder
or No Work." and Close the PIuck-Ne
StOreSi' were some OF them.
At the conclusion of the parade. mass
meeting was held on a vacant lot in the
centre Of the city. National Organizer
Fred Dilcher came down from Scranton
and addressed the meeting, arousing
great enthusiasm. He urged the men to
stand firm, and to beware Of attempts to
divide them along political and religious
lines. He expressed himself as highly
pleased with the result of the unions
work, declaring that every colliery in
No l district was idle and predicted
that before the close of the week every
colliery in the anthracite region would
be closed. Incidentally, he declared that
the soft coal miners of Indiara would,
on January l. make demand fer a six
hour day.
There has been but little change in the
situation in the Pittston district today.
All but three of the fifty collieries were
idle yesterday. The three which attempt-
ed 10 work were the Pennsylvania Coal
Company mines. Today one of these,
No. G. made no effort TO work, and the
other two were not very successful in
their attempts. No. II worked only three
hours while one worked only seven
hours. Scarcely one-half of the full
quota of men were at work at these two
places. and the indications are that the
attempt to operate them will soon be
abandoned as useless. No disturbance of
any kind has occurred. The men are
keeping away from the colliery proper
ties, as advised by the leaders.
IL is yet too early for reports Of dis
tress. The miners are receiving their
August pay this week. 1t is the largest
they have had in a year. and will tide
them over for several weeks at least.
The men are rapidly joining the union. in
order TO receive the promised help when
they need il.

women Of McAdoo. some of them carrying
clubs, surrounded the Crawford and Dugan
strippings at that place this morning and
requested the men working there to quit.
The women were told that the work being
done there did net interfere with the
strike. and they returned to their homes
satisfied.
All the collieries on the north side
worked today the same as yesterday.
President Mitchell announced last night
that the Jeddo collieTies of C. b. Markle
& Co. would be compelled to suspend to-
day. as not enough men would report for
work this morning to allow work being
done. More men reported at this colliery
today than yesterday, and work was done
all day undisturbed.
The Cross Greek Coal Company today
operated successfully all its collieries.
Hardwood & Lattimer and C. Pardee &
Co. worked full handed as did Cranberry.
The collieries of the Lehigh and Wilkes
barre Coal Company are still idle. The
company will make no attempt to operate
them before the strike is over. This even
ing meetings are going on In various
places where the staff of labor leaders
here with President Mitchell will make
propaganda for the strike.

SCRANTON. Pa, Sept 1s.-Though no

Republicans Have No Chance OF
Carrying Kentucky.
Representative Fitzpatrick Declares
the Campaign - The Outlook in
Indiana Most Encouraging - I'm
perialism Making Many Converts.

This talk that the Republicans are
going to carry Kentucky for Mckinley
and the State ticket is most amusing
said Representative Thomas Y. Fitzpat-
rick, of the Blue Grass State, to Times
reporter last night. why, there never
was time when the Democrats OF Ken
lucky were in better fighting trim. We
will give Bryan in November" he con-
tinued, "a regular old-fashioned Demo-
cratic majority. and we'll elect Beekham
Governor in the bargain. Our brethren
who strayed from the fold in '96 in differ
ent States are returning and are working
for the Kansas City ticket with all the
zeal OF converts. / know the Republicans
are putting up stiff fight in Kentucky.
and l understand Hanna has sent several
barrels into the State, but it will avail
nothing except to make us redouble our
watchfulness.
In Indiana Bryan's chances grow
brighter with each day. The Hoosier
State will be found in the Democratic
column on election day. A loss Of 6 per
cent of the Republican vote as cast in 1886
gives the State to the Democrats by
safe majority. And l know the Repub-
licans in Indiana realize the true s:tua-
tion, and they are calling loudly for the
sinews of war. Ex-President Harrison, l
am told is taking an active interest in
the campaign. 1t is said he does not sub
scribe to the imperialistic policy OF the
Administration, and the ex-President still
wields a potent influence among mis- fol-
lowers in Indiana.
Republicans admit to me in private
conversation" continued Repres sntative
Fitzpatrick, that Bryan is growing in
strength every day. Very few Republic
cans have'I met who say that Mckinley
will carry Marylaad or Delaware or West
Virginia. Nearly all the influential Dem-
ocrats and Independents who supported
Mckinley in 1896 are for Bryan this year
on the paramount issue of Imperialism
and militarism. Just think of it, ac-
cording to the present ratio OF expense
for our army 1t will require $50. 10000
for its support for this fiscal year, and
there is no reduction of the army in
sight. II the policy of Imperialism is to
be continued what will the army cost?
'.And there are the trusts! They are
responding most literally to the fat fry
ing methods OF Hanna, but I doubt with
all the corruption fund at the command
of the Republican managers that they can
again purchase the Presidency. The peo-
pie will not submit to 1t. Therefore, as
a conservative man, I give 1t as my
opinion that Bryan will be elected in
November by as large majority as
marked Clevelands election in 1882. and
in 1892 II will be remembered, everything
pointed to the reelection of Harrison"

being collected and burned as rapidly as
possible. On the mainland the searching
for and cremating bodies that either per-

prosecuted vigorously. Reports are re-
ceived from Bolivar Peninsula, where be-
tween 300 and 400 were reported as lying
streyn along the beach and inland in the
sun, are being buried as rapidly as pos
sible. The party bringing the report says
the force is inadequate and should be i'm
mediately increased. The stencil is awful
and the people who survived the storm
are leaving as rapidly as they can get

Everything is in readiness to turn on
the current for the arc lights in the busi-

the danger from hanging wires on the
