meet, two weeks ago, to appeal to or
ganized labor throughout the world and
its sympathizers for funds to procure

public a means of transportation.
Harry f. Blackmore, chairman OF the
committee, stated that after Mr.. Com
pers had announced Monday last that
there was M chance for a settlement OF
the strike. he had affixed his name to
the official appeal and since then CON-
m~unications have been addressed to
more than 5000 labor unions. An
swers have been received. said Mr..
Blackmore, from twenty-one, who had
written e~ncouragingly and sent in con-

stated, had been received, of which
$500 had been expended in purchasing
conveyances and paying the prelimin-
airy expenses of the organization.
The committee, Mr.. Blaekmore said.
had adopted as a name The Trades
Union Line which had been copy
righted.
In order TO avoid. legal complications,
the committee determined to sell the
vehicles and teams TO striking railroad
men. who would operate them on their
own responsibility. instead of the COM
mittee operating the vehicles. Mr..
Blackmore stated that eighteen vehic-
les already secured were now running
and paying handsomely. More would
be put on at once, the chairman said,
and employment for men given as fast
as the buses were secured.
The report was enthusiastically re-
ceived and the work OF the COMMITTEES

OF CLUBS.


Special to the Register.
FORT WAYNE, Ind, June 24.-Fort
Wayne defeated Wheeling to-day in one
of the prettiest games played this sea-
son. The visitors objected to a decis-
ion by Umpire Carruthers giving Har-
per safe at the home plate, inasmuch
IS the batter interfered with the throw
to the plate by Rothermel, causing Rit-
ter to miss an easy out, which virtually
cost the game. Several other decisions
at first base kept the Wheeling club
from scoring. 1t is to be regretted that
Wheeling kindly consented to the trans
fer of these games, which were sched-
uled at Wheeling, to receive such a raw
deal and should be sufficient reason for
not consenting to another transfer.
Pardee pitched in fine form and should
have won his game. Wheeling opens
at home Wednesday with Toledo.

This charming dress of old time fashion is designed from gray oue
tafeta. The bauer skirt is gathered slightly at the waist and falls n
dulaung lines. The unique panel at the side has ornamental applications
of conventional design. The narrow piping of white tafeta outlines all
the edges Of the costume. The applications and piping are repeated on the
bodice. The soft rolling collar is indicative of the returning fashion which
allowed the throat perfect freedom. 1t is scarcely probable that tn modish
lady OF to-day would adopt so marked a style without some touch to mod
fly its severity. The stock collar is intended to supply this requirement

IA French steamer has arrived with
10, 900 bags of coffee and 10000 bags of
sugar, consigned to a syndicate which
is buying for the Pretoria govern
ment. Four more steamers with SINH
lar consignments are expected this
month. 1t is evident that the Trans

.'The Beers have begun constructing
Notifications at Lydenburg, where
they continue to store provisions.
Theresis also evidence of an intention
to connect the disuscd Selati railway,
running northwest from Komatipoort,
with Lydenburg, to destroy the Meth
erlahds railway as a last resort, and
to hold the Drakensburg range as an
eastern barrier, with Lydenburg as
headquarters. If this plan should be
adopted the campaign would become
very difficult.
'.The Portuguese authorities here
objected to her majesty's steamship
Forte using her searchlights, and they
next objected to night patrols. Con-
sequently the cruiser now steams out
side the harbor nightly to avoid a pos
sible repetition of the Maine disaster"

HEAVY FIGHTING IMMINENT.
Botha Must he Beaten Back by, Roberts's

LONDON, May Fighting, heavier
than any since Ladysmith, seems toss
be imminent near Thaba N'Chu. The
dispatches of Lord Roberts dated Mon 'It'l|
day and Tuesday show that the Boer'
rear guard, stubbornly resisting his
advance, forced the British on Satur:-'s
day and Sunday to act chiefly on the
defensive. General French, who is dis
recting the operations, has at least
5000 men. Some estimates give him
100000 The Beers are estimated to BE-
at least 5000 strong, and possibly 1o,i
600. According to a dispatch from
Pretoria dated April %, they were exis
pecting to have battle and have numer;S
GUS artillery. So long as the Beers
engage the attention Of half OF Lord
Roberts's force at Thaba N'Chn, his
advance toward Pretoria will be de-
layed. No one here, however, consid.
ers that General Botha will be able D
stand longer than a few days. The
feeling is that he must be beaten on
by the masses of Lord Roberts.
