have lost almost all their guns and munitions
OF war and are devoid of regular military or
ganization and are therefore unable to carry
on regular warfare or to offer any organized
resistance to his majestys forces in any
part OF the country; and
Whereas, those burghers who are still in
arms, thought unable to carry on regular
warfare, continue to make isolated attacks
upon small posts and detachments Of his
majesty's forces, to plunder or destroy prop
erty and to damage railway and telegraph
lines; and
Whereas the country is thus kept in state
of things which is aimlessly prolonging blood
shed and destruction and infiicting ruin uuon
a great majority Of the inhabitants who are
anxious to live in peace and earn a liveh.
hood for themselves and their families: and,
Whereas it is just to proceed against those
still resisting and especially against those
persons who, being in position of authority.
are responsible for the continuance OF the
present state OF lawlessness and are instiget-
ing their fellow burghers to continue their
hopeless resistance to his majesty's gov9rn-
ment.
Then follows the proclamation. as given
above.
May Not Shorten the War.
The afternoon papers comment approv-
lngly upon the proclamation. Even the
Westminster Gazette says there is no
fault to find with it, nor is there any OBJ
lection to make on the score Of justice.
1t thinks, however, that it is extremely
doubtful if it will have any effect in
shortening the war. Most Of the fghting
Beers are already completely ruined, and
nothing restraints them, owing to the de-
Yastation of the country.
The Globe says the proclamation Is az
judicious as it is drastic, and that the
only question is whether it is strong
enough adding:
Not even the widest pro- Boer can find
fault with it on the score of inhumanity.
1t has long been obvious that such step
was imperative in order to avert ruin
from the inhabitants desirous of peace"

is ascribed to the hostility of the people
OF that city. The official announcement of
the decision was made to a representative
of the Associated Press by Persifer E.
Smith, district manager Of the American
Sheet Steel company. He said:
have orders from President McMurtry of
the American Sheet Steel company to at once
tear down the Devices Wood plant at Nc
Kesport and remove the same to Kiskimentas
valley. This l shall proceed to do imme-
diately.
The Devices Wood Works is one of the
oldest and best known plants in Pennsyl-
vania. 1t was founded nearly forty years
ago and its shops and mills covered from
twelve to fourteen acres.
It employed an average of 800 men, but
in the busiest times the pay roll carried
1,200 names. The plant cost several mill
lion dollars. The company announced it's
money on improvements, but the order to
dismantle the mill terminates that plan.
The sentiment of the citizens and officials
Of McKeesport has been against the steel
corporation and it Is believed here that
the latter preferred to get out rather than
attempt to resume.
Although no order has been issued, there
IS q possibility that the National Tube
Works at McKeesport will be removed and
the Carnegie plant for tube developments
at COnneaut, Ohio, revived. year ago
plans for $12, 900 plant at Conneaut,
| to be the largest works Of the kind in
the world, were formulated but never car
ried out. The National Tube recently
planned extensive improvements at the
McKeesport plant but it is now said that
they will not be made. The tube officials
were disappointed when their men were
drawn into the Amalgamated dispute and
are now considering plan to move. They
have said that the authorities of the town
will not permit men to work and that
they believe it will be easier to move the
plants than to attempt to operate them.
Pittsburg, Aug 9.-The steel strike sit
uation underwent but little change over
night. The steel corporation made no at
tempt during the night to reopen the
Painter mill and the strikers claim that
they blocked the plan to start the plant
by winning over the union men who
had agreed to go to work. The mill off,
cials deny that there has been any inter-
ference with their plans and say that in
dne time the mill will be started up.

cials of the Analgamated association are
still engaged in the effort to secure the
cooperation Of the American Federation
of Labor. They say they are sure of OBJ

Defending his appointment of receiver for
the placer mining claims, he denies that he
first suggested that remedy, and justiffes his
action upon the ground that there were scat
tered along the beach thousands of unem-
ployed men who had been allured to Nome
by fabulous tales OF wealth which had been
given out and predicated upon the result Of
the workings of the previous year; that these
men were unemployed. without food or mo-
ney, and desperate, and that to have closed
down by injunction the operation Of the pla-
Ger claims would have been to have adde's
largely to the number of unemployed in the
camp; that he followed in this respect prece-
dents established by former judges of the
district of Alaska, and adds to his answer

Langdon, N. D., Aug. 9.-The insanity
claim of the defense in the Barry case
is being combatted with strong rebuttal by
the state. DR.. w. A. Jones, the we'll
known specialist from Minneapolis, took
the stand yesterday afternoon and will
be followed by Superintendent Moore of
the Jamestown insane asylum. The state
expects to close its expert testimony Sat
urday night. On Monday it is likely sew
eral lay witnesses will take the stand
in rebuttal of the main case.
The expenses of the trial have nearly
doubled since the insanity phase started
this week and taxpayers are beginning to
grumble. The insanity plea does not
appear to carry as much weight as ex-
pected with either the court or jurors.
Barry himself is generally accepted as
having made the best impression OF any
one testifying in his behalf.
