DODGING THE CENSORS
How the London Papers Got Their
DISPATCHES Through.

New York, June 2.-Some interesting
stories are told in this morning 9 papers
of the ruses adopted by correspondents to
dodge the press censors in South Africa
in letting their editors keep informed OF
the progress of the peace negotiations,
says a Herald dispatch from London. The
Daily Telegraph, for instance, received
from Bennett Burdeighu on Whitmonday a
cablegram with the words "Whitsuntlde
greetings" When the 1-dispatch arrived
without any official delay the first idea
was that the transmission OF such a mes
sage at full rates from the seat of war
was a somewhat .superfuous demonstra-
ton of politeness. -~~fr =
A little reflection, however, seemed to
indicate the significance, Of the particular
season at which the sociable sentiment
was expressed. r
The editor turned, however, to the
prayer book-knowing that Burleigh was
we'll acquainted with holy writ-and, read
ing over the gospel for Whitsunday came
upon the sentences: -
Peace leave with YOU, my peace I give
unto you. Not the world giveth, give I
unto you. Let not your. heart be troubled,
neither let it be afraid. -" 80
when we received Mr.: Burleigh's mes
sage to his brother, in Glasgow, re-
turning-tell Lawson we felt says the
Daily Telegraph, that the moment had
arrived and we might fairly take the
public into our conf1deBce."
The Daily Mail had a most ingenious
arrangement. 1t was a simple device, pur-
porting to send mining market news,
whereas it was in reality code telling
all about how the peace Negotiations were
progressing. Here is verbatim the first
of long series of cables:
Regarding purchase gold farm Paxfontein:
All necessary parties 70 contract now Pre-
toria, whittier ALT gone get better price; have
every reason to believe Vendors wish to sell
This device renders explanation almost
unnecessary. OF course this particular in
stance was but an isolated success for a
scheme devised to meet all possible con-
tingencies, but it worked excellently. II
barely needs the translation.- "Alf' is
Lord Miner. The vendors are, of course
the Beers. ''Paxfontein gold farm" is
the SYNONYM for peace.

THE STRIKE
NOW GENERAL
Most of the Pumpmen, Fire
men and Engineers Went
Out This Morning.
Positions Are Filled by Com
pany Hands or Imported
Men.

Shamokin, Pa, June 2.-Miners made no
demonstrations at any Of the nineteen
collieries within a radius of twelve miles
OF this place to- day other than to col
lect in groups on public roads endeavor-
ing to learn whether Dumomen, hremen
and engineers would report for work
At least 95 per cent of the three classes
hour work day. When fremen ceased
work at o'clock this morning their po-
sitions were filled by company hands,
principally subbosses. Rather than take
the places of strikers. number OF sub
bosses resigned. ''
Strike leaders say they are highly graft
fled over the situation. Officials Of coal
companies also declare they are pleased
that enough nell were found to keep up
steam in mos: of the first rooms. 1t is
the intention of the strikers within the
next twenty-four hours to persuade men
now at work to quit, in order to make the
tie-up absolute.
No policemen guarded any of the local
collieries to-day and strikers remain
away from the mines. An official Of the
union colliery reported that strikers
threw stones at engineers at one Of the
operations last night, no damage result
ing
The shipman Coal company, employ
ing 357 at the Colbert colliery and Con-
nell & Co.. employing 494 workmen at the
Enterprise colliery, granted iremen
pumpmen and engineers the eight-heul
work day. The men are manning fire
engine and pump rooms at those opera
tions. There are 10000 men and boys
employed in the mines in this district.

of the brotherhoods of railway engineers,
f1remen, trainmen, switchmen, conductors
and telegraphers employed by the Central
Railroad of New Jersey was held at
Ashley last evening. About 900 men were
present. President Mitchell Of the United

and Charles S. Wilson, vice grand mas
ter of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen, delivered addresses. Mr..
Mitchell outlined the strike situat ion in
the anthracite region In detail and told
of the prospects of the miners winning
the strike. He said victory for all or
ganized labor. In his opinion the miners
were going ito win. ~r~
Grand Master Wilson, in his talk, said
If Mr.. Mitchell demanded the cooperation
Of railroad brotherhood men could get
it without dissenting voice. The pres
ent strike did not concern the miners
only, but all union labor.
A resolution was adopted pledging the
cooperation of all railroaders If such a
move was necessary, in order for the
miners to win their strike.

bruised in a wreck on the Chicago &
North Western at Otis, seven miles from

the eastbound train was clear, derailing
the last sleeper and hurting it against the
westbound engine.
Eight or ten people in the sleeper at
the time were bruised, but only five re-
ceived injuries Of any consequence and
only two were seriously hurt. The seri.
ously injured are: DR.. G. D. Cook, OF
San Francisco, on his way to Hamburg,
Germany; C. Serefzhjobsky, a noted Rus

NEARLY. ALL OUT
Men in the Hazleton District Refuse
to Work Longer.


Hazleton, Pa, June 2.-There has been
an almost unanimous response in the
Hazleton district on the part of the en-
gineers, fremen and pump runners to
the strike order of the executive board
of the United Mine Workers.
All the companies whose men deserted
Their posts promptly filled the places of
the strikers with non-union men brought
here from Philadelphia and their agents
say the operation of the pumps will not
be interfered with by reason of the strike.
Everything is quiet in the region thus
far. There will be a special meeting
of the clerks protective association to-
night to urge the local merchants to offer
their sympathy and support to the strik-
ers. The merchants will also meet.
It is stated that resolutions will be
adopted condemning all business men who
furnish supplies to the special officers
and non union men, hundreds of whom
are stationed at nearly every collery.
In order to avert trouble the coal COM
panies will keep their special officers at
the mines until the strike is over. The
situation Is so acute that the presence of
these men in the city especially at night,
is liable to be the cause of an outbreak
Colliery clerks who refused to-day to
take charge Of fire or pumps were dis
charged.

ON CUBA
He Calls In Insurgent Sena-
tors and Talks on the
Tariff.
The Matter of the Prospects
for Canal Legislation
Considered.

Washington, June 2.-Senators Proctor,
the White House this forenoon, on invita-
ton and had conference with the presi-
dent in regard to pending legislation.
The subjects discussed were the Cuban
reciprocity bill and the prospects for
canal legislation at this session. The
object of the conference was to urge upon
the senator's the necessity for unanimity
of action.
AS to the canal bill, it is known the
president would reluctantly accept the re-
sponsibility imposed BY the spooner
amendment, of selecting the route, but he
would much prefer that congress select
the route itself. = zs
United Action on Cuba Urged.
The president sent for number OF
senators who have been known to be IN
opposition to granting the concessions to
Cuba on the ground that it would serious
ly interfere with the beet sugar interests
Of the country. The president again as
sured these republicans that In urging
action on reciprocity he was carrying out
the announcement of President Mckinley,
uttered in his last speech, which had met
with such popular approval throughout
the country, also the promises that had
been made concerning concessions to
Cuba.
The president indicated that the adop'
ton, Of the Platt amendment made II
obligatory upon the United States to trea'
Cuba differently from other nations. II
one casual remark he said that events
might show that it would have been bet
ter to have allowed Cuba to be absolutely
independent, as was Mexico. He tolc
these republican senators that the part!
ought not to be divided on tariff issues
as it was entering the campaign and ne
expressed the hope that the Cuban bill
would be passed without the aid OF
democratic votes. 49,, :
Eighteen senators attended the confer
ence The sentiment was in favor of de-
feating any proposition for Cuban reel
procity, but in order to secure harmony al
agreement was made that they would sup
port rebate plan, the money to be pait
to the Cuban government. -a>t T.

Chicago, June 2.-Friends of the Boer

Of the settlement Of the war. J. N. Van

Boer sympathizer in Chicago since the
beginning Of the war, and who has acted
on the committee with Judge Dunno and
Mayor Harrison to collect money for the

point OF CONSUMPTION, hated by the people
OF all countries as the result Of this
unjust war; the tranSvaal and the Or

plenty to utter wastes, with almost all
farms and homes destroyed, and more
than half Of the population either dead or
confined in military prisons, the remain
der in concentration camps or in the
field fighting, not only for country but for
the very weapons and ammunition they
use and the food required from day to
day to sustain life. z,~--'-
THE Beers have surrendered in name
only. 1t does not require ten weeks of
negotiation to bring about an uncondi-
tional surrender. The most important
question is the enc Of amnesty to Cape
rebels. The Beers would never surrender
their allies in crnls without provisions
for their safety.
1.-The future n South Africa is now a
most difficult problem owing to the pre-
ponderence of the Dutch element. The
English and Dutch will have to live
side by side. and it will require wise
craftsmanship and much Cancellation, in
view of the bitter feeling which exists be-
tween the two nationalities.
"The fall of the British ministry re-
sponsible for the war is only question
of a short while. With the question of
upholding the flag out of the way, the
true history will receive consideration,
and the people will reckon with those
who brought on this needless and unjust
war, with all it's evil consequences.
'The whole world will rejoice at the
cessation of hostilties, because a more
unequal fight has never. been waged, and
the sympathies have naturally been with
the weaker side, which has given to the
world an exhibition of courage, Christian
spirit and skill in war never before
equaled.
THE entire Boer population of the two
republics at the beginning Of the wal
was less than one-flfth that of the city
Of Chicago.
''We must not forget that the Beers
will for a long time require financial as
gistance from sympathizers throughout
the world. They are all homeless and
penniless, with farms destroyed and nc
crops. 1t seems to me the duty of all
who are generously disposed to give ma
terial assistance as soon as possible, sc
as to save as many as possible future

will veto the river and harbor and public

has said nothing to create the impression
that he is contemplating a veto and that
the veto talk has been started by the
enemies of the Isthn1ian canal legislation,
who are trying to create a sentiment in
