RADICALS CALL A STRIKE
Bay View Steel Workers Claim the
Scale Is Not Being Paid.

Milwaukee, Sept. Sat a meeting
of strikers at Bay View who will re-
main out it was voted to call out
those of the radical element who re-
Gently went to work. 1t is said that
about 35 of the skilled workmen will
walk out. The reason for the course
taken is said to be because the Hi
nois Steel company is not paying the
Amalgamated scale which was in
force when the men quit in a body
several weeks ago. The result will
be, it is said, the shutting down of
two of the 9-inch mills. Employees
who returned to work when the first
break in the strike occurred and who
are members of the conservative ele-
ment will remain at work. The ILL
nois Steel company will not listen to
a committee of men on the wage ques-
ton.

LEADERS ARE BANISHED
KITCHENER CARRIES OUT SEN
TENcE ON BoERs CAPTURED
SINCE SEPT. IS.
A PROCLAMATION ISSUED

Provides for the Sale of Property of
Burehers Still in the FieId-Letter
to General Granddaughter Says the
Responsibility for the War Rests on
the Beers ThemseIves-lmperiaI
Government Desires Peace.
Pretoria, Sept. 30.-A pamphlet has
been published here under Lord Kitch-
ener's authority containing a notice
of the permanent Punishment of sew
eral Boer leaders captured since Sept.
Is and also a long letter from Lord
Kitchener replying to a communica-
ton from Acting President Schalk-
Burgher, received Sept. 5. Lord Kitch-
ener promises to send the Schalk-
Burgher letter to the imperial govern
ment, which, he says, reciprocates the
Boer statesman's desire for peace.
Lord Kitchener then proceeds to ex-
plain that the responsibility for the
war rests with the burghers, whose
invasion Of unprotected British terri
tory opened the saddest page in the
South African history. He quotes a
letter from a member of the volksraad
to member of the Cape Colony as
sembly, declaring that "the time is
ripe to drive the English from South
Africa"
In conclusion, Lord Kitchener de-
clares that, having annexed the two
republics to Great Britain, he cannot
break faith with the people who have
shown loyalty to the new regime, and,
so far as clemency to the Cape rebels
is concerned, this is the prerogative
of the ruler, which must be exercised
with unfettered discretion.
A proclamation has been issued pro-
viding for the sale of property of
burghers still in the field in accord
ance with the terms of Lord Kitch-
ener's previous proclamation.

Passes Away at Oak Park, Ills.

Chicago, Sept. 30.-Rev. William c.

terror, a publication of the Presby-
terrain church, died at his home in
Oak Park. DR.. Gray, who was in his
10th year, underwent a surgical OPP
Grafton just before he left for his
summer vacation in the Wisconsin
woods. When he returned few
weeks ago he was in a weakened con-
dition, due not only to the surgical
operation but to the growing infrmi-
ties of age. He grew gradually weak
er and for several days his friends had
realized that there was no hope for
his recovery.
DR.. Gray was one of the foremost
Presbyterians of the West and had
been identified with The Interior for
over 80 years. His editorials were
widely read.

oIefS HomeS Goes on Record.
Milwaukee, Sept. 30-The annual
tour of inspection of the board of
managers of the national soldiers
homes was completed with the inspec-
ton of the national home in this city.
General Mcmahon and his fellow mem
bers have left for their several homes.
General Mcmahon, speaking for the
board, said:
"The board has decided to maintain
canteens at all the homes for the good
and sufficient reason that experience
has taught us that it is better for the
veterans and for the people in the
communities in which the home is To-
Gated. The canteen is properly con-
Quoted at these soldiers homes and
the result is that the veterans do not
squander their money in cheap sa-
looms, nor do they drink too much.
What is more, l do not believe any
further pressure will be brought to
bear on us in favor of the adjustment
of the cantsen"

London, Sept. 30.-The Daily Elk
press publishes a report that Lord
Kitchener has asked for $4,000 more
seasoned mounted men and for power
to hang rebels, traitors and murder

Africa is over King Edward and
Queen Alexandra intend to visit the
colonies and India and that while in
India his majesty will be crowned
emperor of India.
Immediately on his return from the
continent, says The Daily News, the
king summoned a meeting of the coun-
Gil to consider Lord Kitchener's propo-
sition to resign. 1t is said his majesty
assumed a very strong attitude and
closely questioned the ministers upon
