MINERS ARE QUIET.
Men Obey Their Leaders and Re-
fraIn From Violence.

( Wilkesbarre, Pa, June 16.-For the
first time in a week there was no
demonstration in the vicinity Of the Lee
high Valley company's William A col
tliery at Duryea today. The efforts Of
the strike leaders to have the men keep
the peace have been successful, and
there was no gathering Of idlers at the
lcolliery to annoy workmen The
guards have been kept in the back
ground to avoid a clash, but the at
tempted shooting of teh division super
intendent Wednesday night caused the
company to change this policy. Last
night and today extra coal and iron
police were sent to the colliery and dis
tributed In conspicuous places. It is the
cornEany's Intention 10 take no more
chances Of having its employees In
]ured. An attempt was raade last
night to start UP the pumps In the coli
iieries of the Susquehanna Coal com
|pany at Nantieoke, but the effort was
spoiled by the engineers quitting work
almost In q body. The number OF
armed police In that vicinity causes
tnuch uneasiness there.

AFTER WOOD NOW.
An Inquiry CerssIn Regarding the
E Expenditures In Cuba,

An Inquiry cer.eIn Regarding the
Expenditures In Cuba.
Washington, June H.-However opin-
ions may differ regarding the effect
the disclosure before the Cuban relations
committee will have on the Cuban reel
procity bill there is but one opinion re-
garding the sugar trusts policy. 1t has
made stupendous blunders from which 1t
cannot escape. General Wood has also
placed himself and his friends in an en-
barrassing position. Even before it was
known that he had used Cuban funds to
conduct political propaganda he had
been severely criticised for some Of his
expenditures. On account Of the deli
cate task he had to perform in Cuba 1t
was necessary to give General Wood the
widest, possible latitude The Cubans
were accustomed to the grandeur Of
Spanish official life. Large sums Of
money were placed at General Woods
disposal and the government of the
United States relied upon his discretion
in the expenditure. Some of the iter.a
of expenses have already been printed in
'nnfriendly newspapers. They We're un-
usual, but so were the conditions.
Politicians whose sole purpose is to en-
barrass the administration will insist upon
dragging every item in General Woods
expense account before the public. Why
did ne do this, or that or the other thing?
These questions the country is in for with
one Of these tiresome and long drawn post
mortems which must always follow every
important government effort. Senator Gull
berson's resolution calling for an itemized
statement Of the expenditures in Cuba
probably will be followed by an effort to
have General Wood testify before the
same, committee that handled the Thurber
disclosures. General Wood was costly
About that there Is no disputing. He was
also successful. Nobody will contradict
believe the penurious will overlook the
success of his work in thrashing over his
successes and enjoy reveling In petty scan
dal and speculatipg on how much of per-
sonal profit and private entertainment
were included in bills the government
paid. These, too, are going to have an
inning If 1t is possible to force the war de-
partment to give its vouchers to the
public.
Government transports brought General
Wood and his personal belongings from
Cuba and the government has set him UP
In a Washington establishment until he
can complete his work. When it comes to
investigating Wood he will be asked If he
granted the exclusive carting privilege to
his brother-in-law, H. Condit Smith, and
prevented competition by executive orders.
He will be asked if n. Condt Smith got
the contract to repave the Prado in Ha-
wanna and If he had any. interest in that
contract. He will be asked If he urged
the appointment of his brother-in-faw
Herbert G. Squiers for minister to Cuba
from the United States, in order that his
own interests might be better protected.
Senator Teller says he has more ammu-
milton that he will fire at the proper time.

TIM DONAHUE DEAD.
Famous Baseball Catcher Dies in
Taunton, Mass,

Taunton Mass, June 16.-Timothy Dom
ahue, the noted baseball catcher, died at
his home in this city today.
Tim Donahue had varied career for
the last few years, changing from the
Western league-where he had gone on
being released by Jim Hart-to the Wash
ington American league team. He had
been sick for some time, the belief being
expressed that he had tuberculosis Of the
lungs. He was late in reporting and
while unable to play he believed until a
short time ago that he would be able to
get in the game in few days. When the
Senator's went west last week Tim was
left in the east to try to recuperate. He
went from washington to Taunton, his
old home
Donahue was practically developed by
Jimmy Manning, for whose Kansas City
Western league team he caught 1t was
during this season that Tim made rec-
ord seldom elualed by backstop Of
catching every scheduled game on Man
ning's list, something like 10 games, with
out break. Tim went to Chicago at the
time kittridge was In his prime and for
season or two was not intrusted with the
stars. Of the Griffith type. Gradually Tim
passed the old star and usurped his hon
ors, and men like Griffith and Callahan
preferred him to the others. His ability
to handle any kind Of a ball, his utter
fearlessness Of the spikes and good
throwing arm made him one of the really
good catchers of the then big league. He
was good when Chicago let him go, in
ternal troubles in the club calling for the
release Of many of it's former stars. He
went to the Western league along with
Jimmy Ryan and was part owner of the
Colorado Springs team. He had trouble
with his partner and a split came and
Tim returned to Chicago. He had several
offers and was reported to be in shape and
Tom Lotus signed him for his Washing
ton team. Tim was not in the best Of
health at the time, however, and his ILL
ness grew until it was said LOTUS would
soon be compelled to release him.
Tim bore many a nickname in the big
league, such as Bridget, IT, Tim and
others. His make them be over from
the catching line, his garrulousness and
fan talk made him a character that will
not be forgotten In baseball circles soon.

NEW AIMS OF Beers.
Do Not Wish to Make a Second !-e-
land Of South a rie;e,

London, June 16--:'I observe that
even Commandant Kemp, who opposed
acceptance of the British term. TO the
last, now surrenders aid has stated
that the terms are Satisfactory TO the
Beers" said an official of the British
instances" he continued, what be-
comes Of the predictions of Morley,
Stead and Courtney that the burghers
would cherish hatred to the British
government and attempt to overthrow
1T at some future time.
Mr.. Chamberlain, the colonial min
lister, like every other member of the
cabinet, regards such prophecies as the
children of morbid imaginations and
velop into a great loyal section of the
empire. While the British have not
scored a brilliant success in killing
Irish discomfort by kindness, they fully
expect to kill Boer prejudice and dis
loyalty in that manner. The Irish and
the Beers are made Of wholly different
stuff. The Irish love agitation and
warfare; the Beers appreciate good
government and love peace"
When the foregoing statement was
submitted to a prominent Afrikander
and British subject who is temporarily
resident at the National Liberal club
he said: Your colonial office official
does not place very enlightened con-
struction on Kemp's surrender and his
expression of satisfaction at the peace
terms. Downing streets inability to I'M
derstand the Boer before the war seems
to persist in all it's destiny. So long as
the Boer depended for their salvation on
military eXpedients Of war. The mo-
ment they decided that military resist
ance was no longer open to them and
that any fate was better than eXtermin-
alton they adopted the measures and
manners Of peace.
"Kemp's expression of good feeling
and similar expressions on the part of
all the Boer leaders, as we'll as the rank
and file, do not mean that they have
suddenly purged their hearts Of anti
British sentiment and their minds OF
the memories Of burnt homes and ex-
terminated families. The Beers are a
wise and perfectly self-regulated peo-
pie. They have given up their rifles to
engage in a warfare of political, social
and moral qualities. They have faith
in the survival Of the fittest. They know
that their interests under these circum-
stances will be best conserved by as
siduously refraining from speech and
action likely to engender British dis
trust and cause the British to continue
the use of military power against the
Beers while the Beers have no similar
power Wherewith to retaliate.
"Boer statesmen have no intention OF
following in the footsteps of Ireland
and thus subjecting themselves to mill
tary despotism and suffering the loss OF
all opportunity to work out their im-
pOrtant, indeDendent DESTINY

Labor troubles cloud the immediate
outlook, but good crop prospects fairly

of the anthracite coal Stake are no
longer localized. 1t affects dstributive
trade in a wider area and higher prices

that. Confidence in fall trade seems to
be growing. Export business, notably
In manufactured goods, is certainly i'm
proving. Cereals, provisions and raw
cotton shipments in May were, how
ever, smaller than year ago. The rail
traffic outlook is apparently of the
best. The cruder forms Of iron and
steel are apparently in undilninished
demand; some lines of trade hereto
fore depressed, notably boots and shoes
and WOODEN goods, are displaying a
better tendency.
Farm products strengthened slightly

output, but the outlook for the month

4 Some Of our citizens oppose lowering
the tariff on Cuban products, just as
three years ago they opposed the adj
mission OF the Hawaiian islands, lest
free trade with them might ruin cer-

as regards Hawaii, and their apprehen-

me equally baseless. In my judg-

hurt and many American industries
be benefited by the proposed action.
It is to our advantage as a nation that

STABBI.>A AT BRIGGS.

j. P Burford. the mining man, was
stabbed last Sunday at Briggs by his
brother-in-law, a man by the name OF
Howard. They got into quarrel about
a mining claim in which they swere
both interested and Howard, who was
armed with pocket knife made a
rush at Burford. His movement was
so swift tnat before Burford, who is a
man of powerful physique, could de-
fend himself he inflicted nine stab
wounds BY that time Burford appear
ed TO have awakened othe serious
ness OF the situation and drew a gun.
Howard quit the carving then and
started in the direction of New Mexi-
CO. Burford fired two shots at him.
but the aim of man who has been
ha.. 4isected Is apt to be lacking in
accuracy. The 'supposition is that
Howard has not quit running; at any
rate he has not been seen IN the
VIcin.,y of Briggs. Burford is seriously
