DOWN AND OUT.
Heinze Meets Another Defeat, This
Time From Republicans.

Time From Republicans.
Butte, Sept, 24.-Heinze suffered
another ignominious defeat Tuesday
at the hands of the republican party.
AS was the case Monday, when he in
terfered in the caucuses, he tried to
butt in" on the primaries again,
with the result that he was absolute
ly turned down. His last chance with
the republican party is now gone.
Out Of So precincts where votes
were cast, Heinze offered opposition
in all. In the Fourth, Fifth, Tenth,
Sixteenth, Twenty-first, T~wenty-sixth
and Twenty-seventh precincts his op-
position was particularly strong, but
that opposition availed nothing ex-
cept in the Tenth precinct, where
the opposition ticket won. The vic
tory in no wise affects the situation.
and the convention Thursday will see
the G.. o. P. in control of everything.
Leading republicans here now look
On Heinze as a dead letter, and down
and out. 1t is said that his inter
ference was not a matter of impulse,
but that it had been contemplated for
some time in anticipation of his de-
feat at Bozeman by the Clark demo-
cratic forces.
The republican convention will be
called to order at the Auditorium at
noon Thursday.

and all the contents, the agent losing
all his personal effects. Tie general

/. THEIR HEARTS eLADDENED.
Burlington Employees Receive Notice
Of Increased Pay.

From Thursdays Daily Gazette.
The hearts of hundreds of employees
of the Burlington railroad were made
glad yesterday by the receipt Of a
letter from the superintendent Of their
division announcing a raise Of wages.
all round.
The increase applies to operators.
clerks, switchmen and trainmen, and
was a total surprise to all, except the
trainmen, who have been working for
a schedule Of pay and increase Of
wages for some time. Their requests
were complied with and the raise af-
fecting other employees was made
voluntarily, and therefore is more ac-
ceptable. The increase averages all
round about 10 per cent, and took eff
feet the first day of September.
The Burlington has enjoyed a profit
able, rushing business during the past
year and it's action in making a vol
untary raise indicates that it is will
ing to share its prosperity with its
very efficient corps of employees.

Ask for Protection.
Washington, Sept. 24.-Large Amer
lean shipping interests operating in
the waters of the Orinoco river again
have requested the state and navy de-
partments to send a warship up that
river for the purpose of protecting
their steamers and keeping naviga-
ton unobstructed. The Marietta vas
sent up the Orinoco river recently OBJ
tanning good results Immediately.
But now that no American warship
is in that locality, it appears that the
disturbed conditions which existed
there previously is again returning.
The navy department desires to af-
ford every possible and practicable
aid for the protection of these trad
ing interests. but it is not in a posi-
ton to do SO just at present on &C
count of the lack of ships in Vene-
zuelan waters.

THEIR RUIN is COMPLETE
Beers ASK ASSISTANCE OF
CIVILIZED WORLD.
Ask Contributions to Assist the Des-
titute and Help Educate
the Children.

Amsterdam, Sept. 24.-The Boer
generals, Dewet, Botha and Delarey,
have Issued a manifesto, in the shape
of an appeal to the civilized world.
This document recalls how, after
the terrible struggle in South Africa
and the Beers had been &C -npelled to
accept the British terms of peace,
the generals were commissioned to
go to Europe to appeal to the new
government to allay the distress
which is devastating the colonies,
and in the failure of the mission to
appeal to the civilized world for chart
table contributions.
Continuing, the generals say that
they have failed to induce Great Bri-
tain to grant further assistance, and
it only remains for them to address
themselves to the people of Europe
and America.
After setting forth how sweet it
had been during the critical days
they had passed through to receive
constant marks of sympathy, the gem
erals take this opportunity to express,
on behalf of the people of the late
republics, fervent thanks to all those
who had assisted charitably the WON
en- and children in the concentration
camps, prisons, etc. THE small Boer
nations can never forget" goes on
the manifesto. the help it received
in it's dark hours Of suffering. Our
people r completely ruined. 1t has
been impossible to make a complete
inventory, but we are-convinced that
at least 10000 houses OF Boer farms
and many villages We're burned or
destroyed by the British during the
war.
Everything was destroyed and the
country was completely laid waste.
They demanded many victims, the
land was bathed in tears and our
orphans and widows were abandoned.
We are appealing to the world for
contributions to assist the destitute
and help in the education of children"
The generals repIdiate all desire
to inf1ame the minds of the people.
and declare "the sword is now sheath
ed, and all differences are silent in
the presence of such great misery"
They say the small amount given
by Great Britain, even If multiplied
ten-fold, would not suffice to v
the losses alone.
we solicit the hearty cooperation
of all existing committees in the var
ious countries which we are on the
point of visiting and establishing a
satisfactory organization

It is stated that Mr.. Morgan has al

none of them has contributed a dol

Mr.. Morgan's unfriendliness tc
President Roosevelt is not of recent
origin. 1t began nearly a year ago
whsnsthe president directed Attorney
GenHral Knox to begin proceedings
against the Northern Securities merg.
er under the Sherman antitrust law
He was offended by the presidents
declaration that no man should stand
above the law. He came to Washing
ton soon after the suit had been insti.
tuted and made protests to the presi.
dent, but was told that the admins
tration had no purpose of prosecuting
any man or any corporation, but that
the law should be enforced.
It will be recalled that James J.
Hill came to Washington about the
same time. He was here to push the
irrigation legislation primarily, but in
his talks with public men he made
no secret of the anger which he felt
toward President Roosevelt and his
intention to do all that he could to
defeat his nomination in the next re-
publican convention.
Since that time these financiers
have apparently gotten together and
have decided upon a plan of cam
paign which includes a strong effort
to elect a democratic house this fall.
Failing in that, and also in defeating
the Roosevelt nomination. two years
hence, Morgan and his friends will
attempt to secure the nomination by
the democrats Of a man like Grover
Cleveland or some other safe" man,
whom they can support at the polls.

Roosevelt passed the last day Of his

physical condition is all the doctors
could ask, barring the wound in the
leg. He is suffering but little pain
from this today and DR.. Lung has not
found it necessary to apply a new

condition for fear that too much i'm

ability, which the doctors say is in
no sense dangerous, though tempo
rarily disabling. The president en-
joyed the most refreshing sleep last
night that he has had since starting
on the trip and felt SO well this morn

and sit in the parlor of his car. He,
however, followed the advice of his

from Derby, Conn, with William
Hooper Young on board, arrived at
the Grand Central station at 1920 a.
