coliiery forced to abandon operations,
with employers whose workers have
no grievances pleading in vain with
the diggers, and with all indications
pointing to general tie-up in the
anthracite coal fields. the striking
miners continue their talk Of arbitra-
ton.
Leaders Of the great body OF men
now idle insist they seek only fair
hearing and are willing to let their
case rest on the decision Of impartial
men, promising TO abide By the re-
suit whatever 1t be. The one point
on which they are deter mined is that
the whole coal field shall be included
in any negotiations With the operators.
Although in isolated cases owners
of mines have offered TO discuss the
differences with their men and ii
others have promised to grant the
principaI demands OF the workers, the
union officials are firm and refuse TO
authorize settlements. They hold that
any resumption Of work would weak

"Dordrecht, Holland, Sept. 10. 1900.
We have been informed that q proc

to the effect that President Kruger has

consequently should have formally re-
signed as president and that his for
saking the cause of the Beers ought to
convince the burghers how useless it
will be to go on fighting. d"
1--WE feel obliged to protest against
this new insinuation, desiring to say
that If the state president of the South
African Republic should have crossed
the borders Of his country he must
have done so by order Of the 'uitvO-
rende rand Executive counciD, which
body by virtue of special warrant
OF the volksraad in its session of 1899
is fully entitled to authorize the pres
ident to go abroad for some purpose
or other; according to the constitution
the vice-president in such a case i'm
mediately enters upon the duties Of
the state president and the govern
ment Is carried on as before.
$50 there is no question about abdi-
eating, as president. or of forsaking
the cause Of the Beers. The proclaim
alton thus can have no other purpose
than by false representation of facts
harming the enemy, who cannot be
brought into submission even by the
application Of measures contrary to
law and justice. o.
