SHOT NATIVES
 LIKE RABBITS
STOPPED BOERS, TRIED THEM BY MOCK COURT MARTIAL AND ORDERED ALL OF THEM SHOT.

London, April 3-The Morning Leader which led to the courtmartial and exc cution of two Australian officers in South Africa, which is just now exciting keen indignation in Australia.
 The newspaper asserts that several of ficers of this particular irregular corps shot natives like rabbits and that they are even suspected of murdering men of their own command against whom they had grudges. The incident which led to their courtmartial was the cold blooded execution by the officers of ten Boers who were- -iourneying to Pieter- maritzburg with the object of surrender ing. It was supposed these Boers had e20O0 with them. Actuated by cupidity the Australians stopped the Boers, tried them by mock courtmartial and ordered all to be shot. This was done by a squad ron of the soldiers after some of the non commissioned officers had returned to carry out the death sentence. The officers then ransacked the Boer wagons and were disgusted upon finding that the 920OO was in Transvaal paper money.
 Continuing, The Morning Leader, says a German missionary few miles distant from the scene of execution heard of the affair. Jams Hancke one of the Australians concerned fearing he would diviluge his information, shot the mis- sionary dead. This shooting eventually lead to a complaint by the German con sul to Lord Kitchener who proceeded to courtmartial the Australians.

MAY BUILD WARSHlPS.
uouse Committee on Naval Affairs
 Takes Up the Subject.

Washington, April 2.-The plan or oulio- ing war ships in government yards was considered by the House committee on naval affairs today, large delegauon or labor representatives being present III sup port of it. The delegation included James w. O'Connell. president of the Machin- ests' Association, and several ship build ing experts of Norfolk and other points having government yards.
 MT. OConnell made the main presenea, tion urging that the government had millions invested in plants which should be used for construction as well as re pair of war ships. When Representative Dayton suggested that Admiral Bowiess chief of the naval bureau of construction. had said that he would not recommend the building of ships in government yards unless the navy yard wages were equal ized with those of private yards. MT. OConnell said the suggestion Of lower wages could have not made seriously at a time when the tendencies were toward higher wages.

REDUCED RATES TO c. A. R. Encampment Fare Will Be One Cent a
 Mile Each Way.

Chicago, April 2-Reduced rates to the encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic to be held in Washington Octo- Der to Il together with lower rates be- tween Chicago and New York during the same period and for other occasions, were established by the East bound roads to- day. The encampment fare will be one cent a mile in each direction.
 Most interest is in the reduction of fare rate to New York from all points will be s10 higher than the rate to Washington. This will make the fare from Chicago, New York and return about S26 or only few dollars higher than the present one way rate between the two cities The differential of $2 between the two sets of lines between Chicago and New York will prevail in selling the reduced rate tickets This will bring the round trip fare down to about s24 for the so-called weak roads.

OPERATORS HAVE
 WEEK TO DECIDE 
WESTERN VIRGINIA WILL GIVE THEM UNTIL END OF WEEK TO RECOGNIZE THEM OR STRIKE WILL BE ORDERED.

l Indianapolis, Ind, April 2.-The opera tors of the West Virginia bitlminous coal fields, it is understood, have until the last of this week to make up their minds whether or not they will meet their men in joint conference for the purpose of making an annual wage settlement.
 Thus far all efforts to get the West Virginia owners to agree to treat with the men as an organization have failed After the last failure, a short time ago, 1t is understood the officials of the sub-dls- tricts of West Virginia were instructed to make one more attempt, and if they failed, the sanction of the union was to be given for a general strike. The sit uation means that the big organization will contribute funds for the support of the strikers.
 The national executive board will have g meeting in Indianapolis Monday and will be probably in session several days as It is admitted at headquarters that it will be the most important meeting the board has held since it ordered the great strike in the anthracite fields year ago.
 The West Virginia miners are to send information to this city by the last of this week regarding the attitude of the op- orators so it can be acted on by the na- tiona1 board. It would not be surprising owing to the feeling among the miners, if a general strike in West Virginia is or dered without further delay.
 Hoisting Engineers Strike.
 Butte, Mont, April 2.-The strike of the 1 hoisting engineers in the Amalgamated 1 mines whereby nine of the principal pro- | perties of the big copper mining com l pany are tide up, and over 5000 men rem dered idle with the prospects that as soon as the supply of ore has been ex- l hausted in the smelters thousands more will be thrown out of work, shows few 1 signs of an early settlement The station | ary engineers are defiant and propose to make a determined fight for an increase | in wages.
 Anaconda Mines Closed.
 Anaconda, Mont, April 2.-The Anacon- da and Washoe mines was closed to- night throwing about t500 men out of em- poyment. This action was made neces- sary by the strike of the hoisting engi- neers of the Amalgamated Association in Butte reaching this place.

 'I have never omitted to mention, and at every opportunity have acknowledged that I participated in the experiments carried on in May, 1897, by the English Telegraph Department under the direc- tion of Sir William P.
