KRUGER ADnITs DANGER GRAVE.
He left the Matter Of Carrying ON the
War 10 Vote of the Tsurghers-Al-
legged stories Of Plans to Destroy the
Mines at johannesburg.

LONDON, Nay 1S.-President Kruger,
according to a special dispatch from
New Castle, issued proclamation ask
ing the Transvaal Burghers to notify
him whether they desire to continue the
fight or to sue for peace.
The situation at the Transvaal CAPT
tai. as il WAS last Friday, is thus de-
scribed by an observer, who sent his
message by private hand to Jourenzo
Marques yesterday:
The situation. both from military and POI
Htical point OF view, has become very critical
President Kruger yesterday admitted for
the first time that matters are very grave.
The Boer determination is to trust everything
TO last stand on the Cats Rand mountains.
to the north Of Potchefstroom, where 3,0OJ
Kaffirs are digging trenches. To that point
every available man and gun have been sent.
The whole of the western border of the
Transvaal from end 20 end, is defenseless, and
General Baden.Powell can march In when he
likes. Lord Roberts, on the other hand, will
encounter the greatest resistance The Boer
endeavor is to lure the British into appearing
to threaten johannesburg with attack, an ex-
cnse thus being given them for the destruc-
ton of property. The Transvaal government
will not dare destroy the mines or property
without an excuse. Much dynamite has been
sent down the line, and 100000 cases lie ready
at Zuurfontein, near Johannesburg
General Louis Botha and General Lucas
Meyer have pleaded for preservation Of prop
erty. Both are large landed proprietors and
fear confiscation. but they have not received
satisfactory replies from President Kruger.
Meanwhile many French and German nd
venturers have come forward with schemes
and inventions for blowing up the British
troops. Some of these have received a taeit
permission to experiment. One German in
vention is for use on a railway, where it lies
perfectly concealed until the weight of a pass
ing train explodes the charge.
General Lucas Meyer says surrender would
be at once proposed by the Beers, but that
everybody fears the ignominy of being the one
to make the proposal. He declares that be is
assured that his men will not stand. President
Steyn and Mr.. Reitz, the Transvaal secretary,
are strongly opposed to peace, but President
Kruger is not so much against it.

IRISH INVINCIBLES
MAY BE DEPORTED.
Decision of Immigrant Board Against
Them-Appeal to Washing-
ton Probable.

New YORK, May 28.-James Fitzhar-
ris, alias Skin the Goat, and Joseph
Mullett, the Irish invincibles who were
recently released from prison in Ireland,
where they were sentenced for COM
plicity in the Phoenix Park murders of
1882, were ordered excluded by the board
of special inquiry at the immigration
station and ordered deported.
The exclusion was made under the in
depreciation of the law which forbids
any one being admitted to this country
who has been adjudged guilty Ct a
a 'tfelony, crime, infamous crime, or
misdemeanor involving moral turpi-
tude."
The two men were recently pardoned
by Earl Cadogan, lord lieutenant of
Ireland, from sentence of life impris-
onment, and reached this city among
the Storage passengers on the Lucania
on Saturday last.
This board was composed of William
Weihe, chairman; H. H. Noler, James
A. Toner and Major Charles S. Sensey.
Fitzharris. when asked of what crime
he had been convicted, answered.
Treason.
Fitzharris was charged with having
been an accessory before the fact in the
Phoenix park murders.
While telling his story to the board,
Fitzharris declared that at the time of
his trial he was offered 100000 by the
English government if he would turn
informer against the other members of
the band. This he refused to do, and of
his life sentence he served about II years
In the Mount Joy and other prisons.
Fitzharris said that he and Mullett
had about $25 between them when they
reached this port.
Fitzharris asserted that while he was
ON British soil he was compelled to re-
port to the police every month as to his
doings and whereabouts.
81 came to this country" he added,
"because want chance to rest and re-
cuperate. / wanted to stay here about
three months and then go back to my
family
Mullet Indignantly refused to answer
any of the questions put to him by the
board.
The case will probably be appealed to
the authorities at Washington. and if
not, Fitzharris and Mullett will leave
this port on Saturday on the Lucania

BAPTIST QUOTES HOAR
AS CHANGING FRONT,
Rev. DIR. Hoyt Said He Made an Expan-
sion Speech Some Five
Years Ago

sion Speech Some Five
Years Ago.
DETROIT, May 2S.-Expansion senti-
ment was rife at the missionary mass
meeting held last night, as one of the
features of the American Baptist mis-
sionaries. DIR. Wayland Hoyt, of Phila-
delphia, began his address ON the sub
ject of Denomination Expansion In
Regard to the Baptist Publication Soci-
ETY." by quoting from speech dehv-
cred by Senator Hoar at children S day
celebration III Massachusetts some five
years ago, at which time the anti-in-
perialist statesman is reported to have
said that the tree of liberty and self
government set out by the fathers of
the republic, having spread across the
continent, its roots would lin good time
thrust themselves beneath the waves
and spread to the isles of the sea-
"This prediction said Dr. noyt.
"came true more quickly than the dis
tinguished senator anticipated and evil
IDENTIFY more quickly than he desired. If
it is true that he made this eloquent and
logical statement in 1895, 100 anti-ex-
pansion speeches made in 1900 could
not efface the effect of that truthful pre-
diction.
DIR. Hoyt argued eloquently for ex-
pansion III missionary effort, keeping
pace at least with the progress of Che
American flag.
Madison G. Peters, of New York,
also argued strongly for political and
religious expansion in his address con-
corning expansion of the work of the
Baptist Home Mission society.
Rev. Theodore G. Soares, Phi. D., of
Illinois, spoke along similar lines in re-
lation to the work of the Baptist Mis-
sionary (Foreign) union.
One of the Sunday features was the
dedication of the new missionary chapel
car Herald of Hope" The car is the
sixth placed in service by the Baptists
of America within the past six years,
the expense of which has been sustained
wholly by free will offerings.

itself, the typically modern city. as
an inseparable part OF the great fair.
So far from complaining of the in.
completeness of the Exposition in
the opening month, as many visitors
have, Dir. Shaw welcomed the oppor
tunitg to see many OF the wonders Of
the fair in the making. His article

Excitement Caused tn Milfora-several
 Passengers Injured.

Milford, Oct. 2.--Considerable excite ment was occaaioned here early this evening by & rumor of the collision Of two trolley cars between Milford and Woodmont As the accident occurred about 6 o'clock, when the cars are San- erally we'll crowded, many startling re- ports relative to a serious catastrophe prevailed, but according to the railroad officials the damage to the cars was a mere trife and none of the passengers were injured. Rumor had 1t that col ored woman sustained fractured limb, Charles Trowbridge, New Haven bank teller, was severely injured, as was also & young boy that was aboard the car, but 1t was impossible to verify the report. The cars in collision were one of the ligt1ler cars of the Winches- ter Avenue Railroad company and @ Jumbo" car of the Bridgeport Trac- ton company. The accident occurred in the woods about midway Of Wood- mont and Milford and 1t Is said was due to the signals being set wrong.

BAY STATE DEMOCRATTC TIC KET
Robert Treat Paine Jr., Again fomi-
 mated for Governor.

Boston, Oct. 2.-Robert Treat Paine Jr.. will again head the ticket which the democrats of this state will De asked to support at the coming election having received the nomination for governor at the state convention held in Faneull Hail, to-day.
 The balance of the ticket follows. Lieutenant Governor, Hon. J. ID. O'Donner of Northampton; secretary of state. Gen. Luther B. Stevenson of Hingham; auditor, F. Gerry Brown of Brockton; treasurer, John L. Chalifoux of Lowell; attorney general, John c. Crosby of Pittsfeld.
 The platform adopted was prepared by George Fred Williams and declared the dominant question to be the con- tinuanee of government by consent of the governed; declares the Porto Rico law is an outrage on the liberties of the people; calls for a free constitution for Cuba and the Philippines, speedy restoration of independence; opposes any alliance, open or secret, with any foreien nation, and condemns company stores in the coal fields.
 An innovation was the reading of the declaration of independence, pre- vinus +o haeinrinr the work of the con- vention, this preliminary being deemed fitting in view of the fact that this convention was held in the cradle of liberty on the anniversary of the first election of Jefferson.

PRES. MITCHELL DETERMINED.
VIII Not Declare the Strike Of Until
 Convention So Decides.

wilkesbarre. Pa., Oct. 1.-The parade and mass meting of the striking miners in this city to-day was the greatest la Dor demonstration ever held In North eastern Pennsylvania. The weather was favorable for large turn out. Presi- dent Mitchell reviewed the parade and afterwards addressed the miners. He said in part:
 .sThe greatest strike in the history Of the world Is drawing to close. AL ready the great coal carrying conlpa- nies have agreed to increase your wages ten per cent, which is great victory in itself But this does not sat- isfy us, and the time is not far distant when the anthracite coal miners will receive as much for their labor as any other class of workmen in the world.
 'sThis strike shall not be declared off by me. It shall not be ended until convention of anthracite miners shall 80 decide Every union and every col fiery will be asked to send one or more delegates to convention to determine the question for themselves"
 MT Mitchell then briefly reviewed the struggles of the miners during the past forty years, and said that the miners cannot expect to have all the evils which have been l1eaped upon them du- ring the last half century of morgan ized labor righted at once. Continuing, Mir. Mitchell said he was confident of victory in the end, He urged the min CTS to stand together, and asked that no man return to the mines until the victory is complete.
 President Mitchell's address, so far as outlining any future move on the part of the labor leaders is concerned. was a. disappointment. He intimated strongly last night that he would define the po- sition of the union to-day on the ten per cent. concession. His failure to do so has caused the impression to go out that he is still undecided what should he done

THE BRITISH ELECTIONS.
Mtn;stertaiists Continue to be Returned
 With lncreased Mnjorities.


 London, Oct. 8, 3s0 a.m,-Yesterday's pollines in the parliamentary general election leave the state of parties at present as follows: Ministerialists IFS, Liberals s5, Nationalists 19. Of the 232 seats thus disposed the ministeriaists' or rather the conservatives, have gain ed 6, including Leicester, and the lib- erals z, including Gloucester, Grant ham, Northampton, Swansea town, Hastings and South Wolverhampton. Increased conservative majorities are especially noticeable in London and Lapcanshire. Almost all the London divisions were polled yesterday. Isling- ton, Clapham and Lambeth show heavy unionist increases and the same may be said of Manchester, Sanford and Blackburn.
 The representation of Manchester is not changed in any of the five districts but all the conservative candidates secured big majorities. On the other hand the liberal majority for MT. Chas. Ernest Schwann, in the north division of Manchester was reduced from 455, the figures of 1895 to 26.
 So far from Mir Henry Labouchere losing his seat in consequence of his correspondence with MT Kruger North hampton, is now represented by two liberals MT. Labouchera, however, did not head the poll, although he secured heavy vote
 Dr. Shipman, who received the great est number of votes cast is a liberal imperialist. The total liberal vote in Northampton was slightly decreased. and the total unionist vote increased. A few Scottish constituencies have been boiled. All show that the liberals are holding their own in Scotland. !, Among the interesting new liberal members is Mir. Henry Norman, of the London Daily Chronicle, who was elected member for Wolverhampton receiving 3701 votes, as against 3,532 cast for Mir. Hutton, liberal uuionist. | The announcement of MT. Burns re- turn was received with the widest en- | thusiasm in Battersea, The leading i thoroughfare for mile was filled with mob shouting themselves hoarse for Burns, who appeared and acknowl- edged the ovation from the balcony of the town hall. A large force of mount ed police attended, but there was no dis order.
