reading of letters of regret from eX-
Governor John w. Hoyt of Wyoming,
William NJ. Ashnaan of philadelphia
and P. l.. VESSELS, special commission
er from the South African Republic.
The latter in his letter said:
's,The South African Republic never
desired war, and as a last resort APP
pealed, previous to the starting Of hos
tilitiss, to England and also to this
country, that all differences be sub
mittad to an International impartial
court of arbitration. England did not
want that, and war was forced upon us.
We are ready now to have our cause
submitted to such a court, and will
abide by its judgment"
A letter was also read from a friend
Of Wu Ting Fang, the Chinese minister
to the United States, in which the min
ister was quoted as explaining his
failure to appear at the meeting. as
follows:
Il am too much occupied with my
duties and too anxious about my coun-

London. Aug. 17.-Stirred by the lat

suggests that the British government
depose the sultan, Abdul Ham

regime in Constantinople. The officers
of the associa ton have repeated to-
Lord Salisbury that they have reason
to believe the Armenians are in danger
of humiliation and that only the
prompt and speedy enhancement of a
sultan unblinded by prejudice and
intrigue can save them from pillage
and massacre.
Edward Atlsin, honorary secretary of

Men who would Rather Tie Them
Up Than buy New Ones.

Its funny" said Park row haber-
dasher, but it's true that so per cent of
the men Of New York arc going about
with broken suspenders. I've known
men worth millions OF dollars who neg
lected to purchase suspenders until their
attention was called to the fact that they
needed them. The other day man came
iii here to buy some ncckwenr. While he
was waiting to be served he kept tuuging
at suspender button on his trousers.
As the perspiration kept rolling down his
neck he bit his lips and mumbled some
thing that sounded like cuss words. He
finally asked me il l could give him u
piece of Irvine. When got it for him,
he unbuttoncd his waistcoat and pro-
ceeded to tie together the parts of IN old
suspendcr.
FL sell you a new pair for quarter"
remarked, pointing to bunch of new
suspenders. Continuing, told him wo
had some beauties for half dollar and
better ones for dollar. He said Moth
ing. but continued the work OF tying up
his broken suspender. Finally thrust
box OF suspenders in front Of him, and
he relched for pair.
Thank YOU he said, and lie pro.
ceeded to take OF his coat and wnistcoat.
Then he threw his old suspenders on the
floor, and as he fastened on the new ones
he said they felt fine. He told me that
he had been feeling uncomfortable for q
week and didn't really know the cause OF
it until he discarded the old suspcnders.
Unless my wife buys pair for me
at Christmas tilne,' he said, Il never
think about It and wear those / have on
until they actually fall off. i know thou

that respect. The other day when Ifcall-

he was engaged repairing his suspenders

never thought of sending his valet for a
new pair. although he was paying $50 a
day for suit of rooms on the fourth

STEAM FILTERS ENCOURAGED.
Another Employer Accedes to Their
Demand for Higher Wages.

The members of the Steam and Hot
Water Filters Union and their helpers are
more confident than ever that they will be
successful in their strike against their en-
ployers for an increase of wages 1t was
stated yesterday that Henry Gates. con-
tractor for steam and hot water filters.
work. had signed a contract to pay the
rate of wages demanded, and that the
strike committee had been assured that
another contractor would attach his sigma
ture to the agreement today. If this is
done 1t is said that it will be the fifth OF
the local contractors who have consented
to pay the scale of wages demanded by the
steam filters and their helpers.
AS to the Importation of outside steam
filters and helpers. the members of the
local union state that SO far while many
have come to the city in answer to ad-
vertisements, when they were informed of
the local troubles. they refused to go 10
work and returned to their home In each
case the local union paid their travelling
expenses.
At the last meeting of the Electrical
Workers and the Retail Clerks unions
resolutions were adopted endorsing the
stand taken by the steam filters and the,,
helpers.
