Appeal from the Beers.

New York. Sept. 27.-tEar.cs -.
Pierce. representative in the United
States Of the Orange Free State, has
received a copy of the appeal dated
Sept IT.. made by the Beers to the adj
ministrative council of the permanent
court Of arbitration at The Hague. Ii
says:
Now that this war has gone Oh FOR

termination cannot but become more
and more acknowledged.
The states represented by the under
signed therefore consider that they
should repeat the proposal already
made by them before. but rejected by
England. to submit to arbitration the
settlement Of the differences which
gave rise to the war.
In this they particularly have in
view the question whether England is
right in alleging that any action was
taken by the republics which had for
its object the suppression of the Eng
lish element in or it's expulsion from
South Africa. and generally whether
the republics have made themselves
guilty of an act which according to in
ternationally recognized principles
would give England the right to de-
prive them of their independence.
They repeat the proposal formerly
made with all the more confidence now
that the permanent court of arbitra
ton has been called into existence on
the proposition Of England herself and
that the chairman of your council has
deemed fit to call their attention to the
Eereinbefore alluded to article 26 Of
The Hague convention.
The undersigned moreover allege
that England already at the outbreak
of the war commenced and has ever
since continued to act in contravention
of the rules of war between civilized
powers as generally, and also by Eng
land herself. acknowledged and as
solemnly confirmed by The Hague
convention of 2Sth July, 1899, concern
ing the laws and usages of war by

Since England sees fit to deny the
continual violation of the laws of war

dersigned consider that they may also
in regard to this difference seek a de-
cision Of the permanent court of arbi-
tration. The undersigned and their
governments are aware that in order

They feel themselves all the more
encouraged to make this request since

NO CHANGE
IN STRIKE
SITUATION
Outlook for Settlement Of Labor
Trouble at San Francisco Is,
However, Encouraging.

San Francisco. Aug. 1.-The third day
OF the great strike opened with no decisive
change in the situation. although the out
look for a settlement has improved. The
City Front Federation which controls the
men now out, has submitted as a basis for
the re-establshment OF peace tho follow
ing propositions;
"The Employers Association agrees
that its members will not discriminate
against any employer of labor because
such employer chooses to employ union
men only.
The Employers Association agrees
that all employees who are locked out or
who have quit work on account of the
existing difficulty shall be reinstated.
Labor organizations agree that any
member who is employed SHALL while in
such employment. obey any orders given
to him concerning the work to be per-
formed. Whenever any difficulties arise
between employers and employees no
strike or lockout shall be instituted until
the parties in interest shall have done all
in their power to adjust their difficulties"
The reply of the Employers associa-
ton Is that they will not discriminate
against unions and that the men can
resume work when they on their part
agree I'm addition TO obeying orders and
submitting grievances to their employers,
promise not TO attempt 10 coerce to un-
polyes TO join unions or employers TO un-
ionize their place of business"
Mayor Phelan, who has conducted the
negotis tions looking TO a compromise Is
hopeful of favorable result. Some Of the
labor leaders also express the belief that
the trouble may soon be terminated.
Dispatches from various points show
that the strike is affecting cities along
the coast The steamer Columbia. which
was to have sailed this morning for Port
land with a fun cargo and two hundred
Epworth leaguers. has been held on tele-
graphic orders from Portland. The ves-
sci was loaded by non-union men and 1t
is feared her arrival at the Oregon port
will precipitate a strike there.
The mach. .nists are hopeful that they
will be able 20 return TO work In a few
DAYS on better terms than have yet been
offered The painters have presented
demand for higher wages and IL IL is not
granted they will go out
The Cutting Packing company has tenn
porarily closed its cannery throwing 200
men and women out Of work. Officers
Of the company explain that the shut
down Is due solely 10 a lack OF fruit.
Contrary 20 their previously announced
intentions, the sand teamsters and stable
men nave decided not TO go out as the
federation think II can win without their
aid The fact OF the sand teamsters re-
maining at work II expected TO prevent

PLASS IS
TAKING A
VACATION
Work for The AntI-SaIoon
League In New York Not
Entirely Successful.

II was said this morning by personal
friend of the gentleman that the Rev.
Norman Plass was more or less out OF a
Job and that he was resting at Will
liamsburg.
Rev. Mr. Plass, II will be remembered.
was settled over the harrington Congre-
gational society, which church organiza-
tion became considerably disrupted at the
time Deacon Wood had a falling out with
his western bride.
The deacon took offence because of
things his wife did. which, by the way,
were not of an unwifely character, and
the upshot was that one day, so she al
legged TO the court, he administered pun
shment when her face was turned away
from him and in manner quite familiar
10 disobedient little boys.
The wife's part was taken by some and
the descons by others of the church and
the result was that the pastor was drawn
into the controversy which terminated
in court proceedings and the wife OBJ
tained divorce.
Rev. Mr.. Plass quilted his pastorate
when the Wood affair was about TO reach
a climax and announced that he had been
made state superintendent OF the Rhode
Island Anti-Saloon league.
This organization was to wipe out all
the unlicensed places and bring the H.
censed dealers down 10 the legal ring
bolt. II they did not then cease to vio-
late the law they were to be prosecuted
to the limit
The Plass administration was not a
brilliant one.
The old Prohibition expedient OF hiring
professional spoilers was resorted TO and
in the end they ceased 10 convince 1urles
and some OF their cases did not get be-
yond the district courts.
Mr. Plass was next indicted and tried
before petit jury for alleged attempt
to extort money from George y. Boyden,
then proprietor of Crescent Park.
The Jury disagreed and the complaint
was placed on file.
MIR. Plass next went to New York where
a better and more fertile field was said
To be awaiting him.
The New York crusade started out with
the fuss OF a noisy brass band and has
fallen off so that Il amounts 20 about the
music OF busted penny whistle. IL Is
asserted.
The expected convictions did not ma
terialiye and those who were giving up
their money for the cause< couldn't see
any necessity for continuing their dona-
tions.
That's why" said The News inform
ant, "Mr. Plass is taking rest. IL Is
To be a long one as far as the New York
Anti Saloon league Is concerned The
people there as here, tired OF supporting
an agent and two spoilers. Fact is.
the people of New York are no more In
favor OF minister detectives than they
were here. MIR. Plass wants new job -
