MAY GUST CLARA BARTON
Heated Contest Predicted for Meeting of
Red Cross Society.

Red Cross Society.
Washington, Dec. 10-At the annual
meeting Of the Red Cross society to
be held in this city there will be a
heated contest regarding the presiden-
cy of Miss Clara Barton, who for more
than thirty years has been at the head
Of the organization. Her opponents
will claim that she is too old to be a
competent executive officer.
The real point at issue, however, is
the control of the society. The friends
of Miss Barton and those whom she
recognizes as her best friends will seek
to amend the constitution and try to
have it adopted. The principal change
they seek to effect is to abolish the
board of control and substitute for it
al ordinary board of directors. The
criticism of the present bylaws is that
the board of control is clothed with
absolute authority, which makes it
embarrassing to the president and OBJ
jectiOnable to a large number of the
cOrp0ratOrs and associate members,
who desire a more simple and dem
Ccratic form of administration. The
board of control is composed of fifteen
members, and these members have the
absolute power to control Of the bust
ness and property of the association.

Sofia, Dee. 1O.-According to infoc-

Ellen NJ. Stone and Madam Tsilka, her
companion, are concealed in the vicin-

with the bandits, and that application
has already been made to the Turkish
government for the free passage of the
emissaries across the Turkish frontier.

People Who Used to Eat Spi


The enjoyment of particular kinds Of
food is, after all, matter of custom,
and the African who revels in white
ants is no more peculiar in his tastes
than the European who eats cheese
mites. A lady whom M. Reaumur knew
was accustomed to devour spiders as
fast as she could catch them, and a
German lady gave 1t as her opinion
that these creatures resembled in taste
the most delicious nuts. A fellow coun-
tryman of this lady was in the habit Of
regularly hunting spiders in his own
and his friends houses. He used to
spread them on bread, Rozel tells us,
and vowed that they were far pleas
anter to the palate than butter.-Corn-

Chicago Auditorium Packed with
People Who Protest Against
British Methods
Els pRAOTIOED IN SOUTH AFRICA
Bo2rke Cochran the Chief Orator
Striking Points of the ResOlu-
lions Adopted.

Chicago, Dec. ga programme of
protest against British methods in the
South African war was carried out be-
fore very large audience in the Audi
forum theater last night. Following
an eloquent address by w. Bourke
Cochran, and earnest speeches by 9th
ers, resolutions for the appointment of
committee to bring the sentiments of
the meeting before the president were
adopted. Although an admission fee
was charged, the funds being intended
to aid the Beers, and especially their
women and children, standing room
was at a premium and many were I'M
able to gain admittance. The pro-
gramme opened with the song ''The
True Heart" sung by nineteen Ger
man singing societies of Chicago.
DIR. Thomas Asks a Blessing.
DR.. Hiram v. Thomas, head Of Tie
Peoples church, followed with pray
er for the women and children in South
African prison camps. Then followed
short addresses by Judge Theodore
BrentanO and Judge Murray E. Tuley
chairman Of the Chicago branch of the
American Transvaal League, under the
auspices of which the meeting was
held. There were 500 people on the
stage when Cochran, the orator of the
evening, arose and bowed in recogn1-
ton Of the tumult of applause which
greeted him. His speech was an elO-
qrent presentation of the subject he
arose to discuss and was frequently
and enthusiastically cheered.
Letter from Carl Schurz.
A letter from Carl Schurz was read
in which he said: II am one Of those
who heartily rejoice at the subsistence
in this country of the old and more or
less unreasoning prejudice against
England :" and | hail with joy
the growth of real friendship be-
tween the two nations. But English
men should not indulge in any delu-
siOns about this. Deep in their hearts
the great masses of the American peo-
pie cherish a profound sympathy for
the Beers in their struggles and suffer
ings. What they condemned when
done by the Spanish in Cuba they do
not approve when done by the British
in South Africa

LAWSON rs DEFIANT
Copper King Says He Will Not Capitulate
Compromise.


Boston, Dee. 10.-ThomaS w. Law
son has again hurled defiance at his
enemies and also made the interesting
statement that though he lost just $4,-
100000 in Trinity, in addition to an
admitted loss of more than S1O00O.-
600 in Amalgamated. he cannot be
forced to capitulate or compromise.
His statement in part follows:
Il own 100000 shares of Trinity, a
short time ago worth at the market
prices $6,000000, at Saturdays price
only 100000, but as none Of it is
carried on margin or borrowed on l
will not sell it, and it therefore can
in no way be menace to the market.
The cause of the drop in the price of
Trinity was that everything | am or
am supposed to be interested in has
been under savage attacks for weeks.
Il give you my word | cannot be
gunned out or made to capitulate or
compromise, and that | will be doing
what business | decide to do in the
way | decide to do it when every one
o. those who are fighting me has
sneaked off the field, and l will do this
as in the past without asking or ac-
cepting any assistance from any one.
[ do not wish to disguise that since
the cut in the Amalgamated dividend
l have lost heavily, or that 1 will not
continue to lose, but l do want you to
understand that this fight is to fin
ish. and that while 1 expect no quar-
ter / want none and will give none"
In All interview at his home at
night Mr.. Lawson declared emphatical-
" that he still holds $4,000 shares of
Amalgamated, of which he will not
sell a single share for less than it
cost him, and he has so guarded his
holdings that he cannot be forced to
let go.

SUBSTANCE OF THE RESOLUTIONS
Unknown Contributes $500 to the Trans
Vaa1 League Funds.

Unknown Contributes $500 to the Trans
vaa1 League Funds.
Resolutions were adopted which say
III part: THAT we as American cit1-
zens, believing that the Wanton de-
StructiOn of property of nOn-cOmbat-
ants by English military authorities in
South Africa without precedent in
modern times, save by English officers
in the war of the American reyOlu-
tom is a source of needless suffering
to the people of the South African
republics and without advantage to the
military operations of the British
army; and that the slaughter of the
helpless and innocent caused by Eng
lish prison pens are a causeless out
rage upon the humanity of the civilized
world, which amply justify cOncen-
trated remonstrance by American and
European states; do most solemnly
protest against the acts of the English
government.
Resolved, That we, and each of us,
do hereby pledge ourselves to use our
utmost powers to cause copy of these
resolutions to be brought to the atten-
ton of the president of the United
States with our most respectful but
urgent petition that the treaty of Wash
ington, of May 9, 1871, be strictly en-
forced s. and that the presi-
dent Of these United States will en-
ploy every possible means to bring to
ali end the horrors of concentration
camps. That the chairman
be authorized to appoint a committee
of citizens of Chicago to call the at
tentiOn of the president to these resolu-
tiOns and to inform him of the senti-
ment of the citizens or Chicago
A resolution was also adopted CON-
mending Governor Yates, of Illinois,
for issuing a proclamation calling for
assistance for the occupants of con-
ccntration camps in South Africa. The
treaty Of May 8, 1871, refers to the
sale Of contra band of war. The object
of this reference to it is to prevent
Great Britain buying horses, mules,
etc, over here to use in the South Afri-
can campaign.
Amid much cheering at the close
contributions were called for. The
first response was check for $500,
sent up by a man who requested that
his name be withheld. Then followed
checks for 800, the contributors of
this amount being numerous. When
smaller sums were asked for money
came freely from all parts of the great
auditorium. A large relief fund was
raised.
