was removed to an undertaker's and
then taken to his home. Mr.. Warner

three or four years. Recently he suf-
fered slight attack Of paralysis, but
was thought to be improving. Sen,
ator Hawley was greatly overcome by
the sudden death of his friend.
[Mr. Warner. In addition to being noted
author, was also a student OF social science.
He was for several years a member OF
the state commission on prisons and OF the
National Prison association. Yale gave him
the degree Of A. M. In 1872 and Dartmouth

IN DANGER FROM BOERs.
President Kruger Secretly Goes ON
Board Warship to Escape Ire
of His Countrymen.

Lorenzo Marques, Oct. 20.-Mr.
Kruger was secretly taken at five
o'clock last Friday morning on board
the Dutch cruiser Gelderland, on
which vessel he sailed for Holland.
The reason given for Mr.. Kruger's
embarkation is that he feared the
Beers here would attack him. The
feeling of the refugees against Mr..
Kruger for fleeing from the country
is very strong.
Pretoria, Oct. 10.-The Beers are
daily tearing up portions of the rail
road and cutting the telephone and
telegraph wires. Their attacks are
intolerable. The repairing linesmen
cannot leave the garrisoned points
without considerable escorts. The
only remedy seems to be to corral all
the burghers and deport them, as ap-
parently none can be trusted.

Vice Chairman Henry c. Payne, of

thor of the republican forecast. 1t
was made by him partly in reply to
the foregoing democratic table,
though, aside from that. Mr.. Payne
declares that his division of the cleo
tors is based upon entirely trust
worthy reports from every state
about which there is any room for ar
gument. His estimate gives McKin-
ley 294 electoral votes as certain, and,
on the claim that the republicans
have an even chance of winning in
Nebraska and Utah, he thinks the full
strength of the presidents electoral
vote will not be less than 305. This
may be increased by the addition Of
Colorado, Idaho and Nevada. With
those McKinley's strength in the col
lege would be 315.
Mr.. Payne's forecast is as follows:

the Philadelphia conference of opera

Some of the biggest of the local COM
panies are baking n the agreement
to continue the ten per cent. offer
in force until April, 1901, as is de-
manded by the resolutions of the
miners convention. They were all
willing enough Thursday to amend
their notices to conform to this de-
mand, but they seem to have under
gone a change of heart, and only one
operator of any prominence would say
outright that he would make the mod
ifcation.
Hazleton, Pa, Oct. 20.-The settle
ment of the big strike of the mine
workers is undoubtedly blocked by the
question of the price miners will be
asked in future to pay for powder.
Employers have agreed to give their
man ten per cent. more in wages than
they were paid before the strike began,
but they insist that in figuring the net
advance of ten per cent. the reduction
of $1.25 key in the price of powder
shall be taken into consideration. The
miners apparently want to go back to
work for the ten per cent. advance and
then arbitrate the question whether
they are to get their powder cheaper as
an additional condition. 1t is not be-
lieved that the mine owners will grant
any such demand and their refusal may
mean the indefinite pTolonging of the
strike
