Butte Unions Are Enjoined.
Officers Can Not Resign.

Washington, May 23.-The war depart
ment has refused to accept the resigna-
ton of seven junior officers of the volun-
teer army now in the Philippines who
have become tired of the service. Secre-
tary Root takes the ground that inasmuch
as the war department has uniformly re-
fused to allow enlisted men to be dis
charged without good cause, it would not
be fair to discriminate in favor of Off
GERS.

their operation, and favor rigid laws to
this end
We are opposed to the republican policy

point to the record of legislation in the
last congress as indisputable proof
OF the party's former duplicity on the
financial question.

for liberty.

The Beer Delegation.

Washington, May 2O.-The Boer dele
gates devoted most of their time Satur-
day to receiving visitors and attending to
their correspondence. 1t was made evil
dent to Colonel O'Beirne today that the
state department is disposed to treat the
Boer delegates with absolute fairness and
that their credentials consequently are to
be considered on their merits. 1t is by
no means a foregone conclusion that the
delegates are to be denied official recogni-
ton. That was the first decision and it
may after all be the outcome. But it is
said much depends upon the character of
the credentials and also of the attitude
of the delegates themselves. 1t Is said
among certain officials of the state de
partment that if the government should
consider it necessary to cast about for
warrant for accepting the Beers official
ly it might turn to the convention of 1884
between Great Britain and the Transvaal
and declare that document is by implica
ton to be found a remuneration of Great
Britain's suzerainty and consequently
there no longer exists any probation upon
other nations in their dealings with the
Boer republics, at least to the extent of
offering official recognition to their diplo-
matte representatives. The fact that con-
sideration has been given at all to this
phase of the matter may be regarded
as significant of the fact that at present
the administration holds itself in a re-
ceptive state as far as the credentials are
concerned and is disposed to consider
them on their merits.
Intervention Impossible.
New York, May 20-The general con-
clusion was reached at the cabinet meet
ing, according to the Washington CORE
spondent of the Herald, to adhere to
the former decision against intervention
unless mediation should be requested by
both sides.
The London Standard, says a special to
the Herald from London, commenting
upon the result of the cabinet meeting at
Washington, says:
"As final blow to the hopes of the ene-
my comes this news from Washington.
If the Beers want peace they must sue
for it from the imperial government"
JOl1ificatiOn In London.
London, May 20.-The whole British
empire has been carried off its feet by
the effect of the relief of Mafeking. The
demonstrations of Ladysmith may pale
before the spontaneous transports of de-
lirium recorded in cablegrams from all
parts of the world where flies the Union
Jack.
The empire is en- fete, and most of the
people in the United Kingdom took holi
day in honor of the defenders of the little
prairie outpost.
Traffic was practically suspended, and
great crowds surround the Mansion
house and all public buildings, shouting
and cheering.
While all parts of the United States have
been sweltering, England and most OF
Europe returned to winter furs and the
heaviest overcoats this week. Northeast
winds, amounting to gale in many places,
have devastated the fruit blossoms in the
country, and the prospects of the orchards
are decidedly unfavorable.

able to confirm the announcement.
Everyone is talking of Mafeking and
the latest exploits of its defenders. Rum.
ors continue rife that the relief OF thu
place has been accomplished, but all Of
fetal confirmation of the reports is lack
ing.
There was considerable speculation as
to what Colonel Baden-owell would do
with his 90 prisoners and whether vic
tory has not so depleted his force as to
render him open to humiliation in the
event of another attack by superior Boer
numbers.

The Strike Situation.

ST. Louis, May 2O.-The strike situa-
ton is unchanged. SO far as can be
learned the st. Louis Transit company
today has in operation on IA of its %
lines composing its system about $50 cars.
Eight hundred were in operation before
the strike began. During the past few
days interference by mobs has become
so general and the casualties reported so
many that it is stated today that the
authorities will arm the police officers
guarding the cars with shotguns loaded
with buckshot and they will be instructed
to fire into the mobs who attempt to
interfere with the running of the cars or
with the crews in the discharge of their
duties. Nearly 20 employees of the Tran
sit company, mostly motormen, have been
under surgeons care since the strike be-
gan.
The labor parade this afternoon was a
success in point of numbers and enthus-
iasm, about 1000 being in line. Banners
and transparencies carrying mottos indors-
ing the strike and pronouncing in favor
of sympathetic movement were numer-
Gus throughout the column, which march
ed through many of the downtown streets
between and 6 o'clock.
No progress was made today toward a
settlement of the strike.
