We commend the part taken by our
government IN the peace conference at
The Hague We assert our steadfast ad-
herence to the policy announced In the
Monroe doctrine. The provisions OF The
Hague convention were wisely regarded
when President Mckinley rendered his
friendly Offices in the interest Of peace
between Great Britain and the South
African republic. While the American
government must continue the policy pre-
scribed by Washington, affirmed by every
succeeding president and imposed upon
US by The Hague treaty, Of non-irter-
vention IN European controversies. the
American people earnestly hope that
way may soon be found, honorable alike
to both contending parties. to terminate
the strife between them.
Regarding New Territory.
In accepting by the treaty OF Paris the
Just responsibility of our victories in the
Spanish war. the president and the sem
ate won the undoubted approval OF the
American people. No other course was
possible than to destroy Spain's SOW
ereignty throughout the West Indies
and In the Philippine islands. That
course created our responsibility before
the world and with the unorganized pop
ulatlon whom our Intervention had freed
from Spain. to provide for the malnte-
nance OF law and order, and for the es-
tablishment Of good government and
for the performance OF international obli-
cations. Our authority could not be lesa
than our responsibility, and wherever
sovereign rights were extended II became
the high duty OF the government to main
tain Its authority. to put down armed in-
surrection sRd to confer the blessings
~
rescued peoples. The largest measures
u self-government consistent with their
welfare and our duties shall be secured
to them by law. To Cuba independence
and self-government were assured In the
same voice by which war was declared
and to the letter this pledge shall be
performed.

II was the plain purpose OF the fifteenth
amendment to tho constitution to pre-
vent discrimination ON account OF race or

Devices Of state governments, whethsr by

revolutionary and should be condemned.

Our present dependence upon foreign
shipping for nine-tenths OF our foreign

OF this country. II IL also a serious dan

STRIKE SITUATION.
Union Movement Seems To Be
Gaining In Strength.
Operators Will Not Admit That
There Is Danger of a Sue
cessful Tie-up.

Madisonville, Ky, Dec. 6.---The
miners officials are making big
claims. President Woods posted
bulletin in which he claims that
the miners of Oak Hill and Nor
ton S Gap have lolned the union and
will cease work today. The op-
orators say very few if any of the
men at the above places belong to
the union. Oak Hill worked yester-
day with a decreased force, out the
manager said that a tull force
would be at work today. So it re-
mains to be seen which is right,
miners or operators. The opera
tors of the Forsythe and Providence
mines are finding it no easy task to
fill the places of the strikers. Ten
men arrived from Evansville yes
terday to work at the Providence
mines. They were met at the de-
pot by a committee OF miners and
persuaded to return home.
The officials of the Mine Workers
are receiving provisions in carload
lots to feed the striking miners, and
are asserting the confidence that
they will win the strike. r. H.
Mcintosh, union miner, was fined
$5 at Madisouville for assaulting an
employe at Carbondale mines.

issued an anti-intimidation proca.
nation, but the Mayor of Prov
deuce is openly expressing SYM
pathy with the strike. Manager
Booth, of the Carbondale mines,
denies that any of his men have
gone out on a strike.
