Mine Workers of America, on the
ground that they are in arrears up
wards of $4,000 on the assessment levied
by the Federation some time ago, for
the support of the machinists when the
latter were engaged in their strike for Il
nine-hour day.
In the discussion that ensued, before
the matter was finally disposed of and
the Brotherhood of Stationary Firemen
and the National Unou OF Steam Engin-
eers, both of which organizations the
Mine Workers have been endeavoring to
absorb, was plainly indicated
President Mitchell explained that the
81 900 referred to had been assessed on
an increase of mem bership Of nearly
100, 600 during the year, which he did
not consider just. Besides, while their
own strike was on, arrangements had
been made with the Machiuists to pay
them 81, 900 when they soreIy needed it,
which was done.
James O'Connell, president OF the
Amalgamated Association OF Machinists,
corroborated Mitchell and said that the
money, if paid over now, would only
revert to the Federation.
The report showed 2S5 delegates, rep
resenting 225 organizations, as against
23l delegates and 1Sl organizations last
year. OF the 235 organizations named
65 are national, II state branches, e.
central bodies and 81 locals.
The greatest in creases in the year
were made by the Mine Workers,
Brotherhood of Carpenters, Garment
Makers, Plumbers, Boot and Shoe
Workers and Seamen, which nearly
doubled their membership. Marked
gaius were also made by the BARRIERS,
Retail Clerks, Brewery Workers, Long
shoremen, International Association of
Machinists, Journeymen TaiIors and

HOME FROM
PHILIPPINES
Freeland Soldier Returns
From the East.
Patrick Boyle Is Back Again
After Three Years Service
in the Seventeenth In
fantry.

Patrick Boyle, one OF the many Free
land boys who volunteered their ser
vices to Uncle Sam when the Spanish
American war was on. has completed
his term of enlistment and is again at
the home OF his parents. Mr. and Mrs
Daniel Boyle. on North Centre street.
In company with IA number of other
members of his regiment. the Seven
teenth regular infantry, he arrived at
New York city last week from Manila.
After receiving their discharge from the
government service, all departed for
their homes.
Boyle was the only momber of the
Seventeenth from this vicinity, but he
was accompanied to Freeland by James
Cummings, of Pttsburg, who spent a
few days here with him and left last
night for his native city. Both men
were attached to Company f, OF the
Seventeenth.
Boyle enlisted at Jersey City for three
years in September, 1898. His regi-
ment, after its return from Cuba, was
selected for duty in the Philippines, and
he arrived at Manila on April IA, 1899.
The trip was made on the transport
Sheridan and consumed fifty-four days.
The Shelidan's course was across the
Atlantic, through the Mediterranean
sea, the Suez canal, the Red sea and
the Indian and Pacific oceans.
Upon its arrival at Manila the regi-
ment was placed iu active service at
once, and it was not until April 25 that
Mr.. Boyle was given an opportunity to
write to his parents
In his letter, which was published in
the Tribune on June /, of that year, he
gave an entertaining description OF the
voyage and his Impressions of the
Philippines and its people. This was
the first letter written from the Philip
pines by private and published in this
part of the state and was widely copied
by the press of the coal region.
During his service in the Eastern
islands Mr.. Boyle's experiences differ
but little from those OF other soldiers.
He escaped both the bullets of the Fill
pinos and the diseases of the land, not
withstanding the fact that his regiment
holds the record of participating in more
engagements than any other command
that was sent to the Philippines.
When he enlisted he was possessed of
strong, rugged constitution, which
has been noticeably weakened by his
hard service in behalf OF the govern
ment.
Before leaving Manila he was offered
good position as soon as his term
would expire, but he had enough of that
country for the present. He has not
yet decided upon what his plans will be
for the future.

In the play, "The Burglar" which ap.
pears here tonight, the spectator is led
through series Of home pictures to the
sensation OF repulsive burglar discoy-

who, unusual to relate, instead of being
scared out of her wits at the intruder is
more alarmed that not her loved ones.

bodily injured by coming in contact with
the midnight wanderer. The child, in her
precoclous fear or others, is willing to
aid the burglar in his selection OF plund-
er, and the interview between the two
has no counterpart in the annals of
theatrical lore. 1t must be seen to be
appreciated.
"Old Arkansaw," one of the most
popular meIodranas of the times, will
soon be seen here. The production
comes to us in its entirety and will be

change from yesterday gave ground for the best
OF hopes that the rest will be accomplished
rapidly.
The observance Of the opening day did not
absolutely begin and end with the little talk in
the Government Building. An hour later the
explosions Of bombs gave relief 10 the minds Of
those who felt that momentous a time might
not pass without some sort of loud and joyous
noise. After another hour FIVE thousand pigeons
rose in dense cloud from the esplanade. parted
company and flew out into the land, 10 spread
the news Of the opening Of the exposition. The
actual news is likely 10 find its way about by
other methods. but any one who sees one OF
these birds pass his window may consider him
self officially invited by the city of Buffalo 10
attend the fair. Those who do not see the birds
pass may console themselves with the reflection
that II II not the fault Of the city Of Buffalo
but merely the sageness of the birds In choos-
ing their aerial paths. that they have not been
Intentionally neglected. and that they are in
vited just the same. In the afternoon the bands
played and in the evening the grounds were
again made enchanting TO the eye with electric
illumination.
NOT MANY VISITORS PRESENT
The crowds yesterday were not large. Little
extra provision seemed 10 have been made for
transportation and yet the cars which ran TO

vantage in being at the fair early. Those VINO
