WEST POINT "CHARITY BOYS. ;,
Col. Chas. A. WoOdruffTells What They
 Have Done for the Country.

Manila, June 15. Speaking at the West Point centennial dinner, which was held here last week. Acing Civil Governor Wright said he did not think "the strife now being waged in congress on the Philippine government bill is as fierce and as irreconcilable as it appears to be" that the sober second thoughts of the American people were always right, and that they would in time do justice to the Americans in the Philip pine islands.
 Speaking at the same dinner Colonel Charles A. Woodruff. head of the sub- sistance department at Manila, said: "The graduates of West Point may be charity boys, but in the Mexican war these boys saved the nation in money alone more than the military school has cost since it's foundation. The same boys led 2,OO0,000 men to victory in the greatest of modern wars. The charity boys have all repaid their board and keep a. thousand fold, they can glory in the fact that wherever 25,000 American troops have faced an enemy, the com mander of these men was a West Point graduate. The established repu- tation of the boys from West Point has become a synonym for honor, integrity and the highest credit in the country. They have saved the country millions of dollars and thousands of lives, and the charity boys will no doubt uphold in the present the proud supremacy of the United States"

STRIKE OF THE COAL MINERS
HELP OF BITUMTNOUS MEN IN
 THE STRUGGLE.
Their Effort to Prevent Shipment of Soft Coal Inte Anthracite Territory Successful Stand Ready 10 Give F,- Upon to Do So- President GiIday Posi- two the MeD WiIl Win.

| Wilkesbarre, Pa, June 15,- Patrick l Gilday, president of central Pennsyl- vania bituminous district of the United Mine Workers of America, who came | here to consult President Mitchell on a mater local to his district, in talk with correspondent of the Associated Press to-day, gave an insight as to what the solf coal miners in his territory are do- ing to help their brother workmen in the anthracite field. MT. Gilday said there are 42,000 soft coal miners in this district and everyone of them is taking a deep interest in the struggle now go- ing on in his region. On the second day of the strike he sent out instructions to every check weghman and pit com mitteeman at the mines in his district to prevent the shipment of solf coal in- to anthracite territory and thus far, he said, very little coal from his district has taken the place of anthracite.
 There have been only four attempts by unionized mines to send soft coal to the anthracite markets" he said. "One order was intended for Mount Carmel, Pa, two for Philadelphia and one for New York. As soon as our men at the mines learned the intended destination of the coal we requested the mine own- CTS not to send it and they complied with the request. We are not interfer- ing with the normal shipment of solf coal"
 President Gilday said he had no per sonal knowledge that the other bitumin- ous district presidents were doing the same as himself, but he felt sure they were. There is some solf coal com ing into the anthracite market from central Pennsylvania and West Virginia but it is mostly of non-union production
 When asked regarding the feeling in his territory as to a general strike to

SURRENDER OF BOERS.
2,99f Have Laid Down Arms Since Last Friday,

| London, June 15.-A dispatch iron,
 Lord Kitchener. dated Pretoria, Satur- day, June IA, says that 2,994 Boers have | surrendered since Friday, June 13, and
 that everything is proceeding most sa- | isfacorily.
 | London, June 16.-Dispatches received l here from South Africa show that the surrenders of Boers are proceeding with the greatest good will. The total of the
 number who have already surrendered
 numbers 16,500 and the British are ex- tending every possible kindness to the
 men who come In,
 The appearance of General De Wet at the camp at Winberg was the signal for
 a great display of enthusiasm When
 he arrived at the camp General De Wet
 was at once surrounded by thousands
 of Boer men, women and children who
 struggled and clamored to shake the
 hand of their hero. General De Wet mounted table and delivered an ad-
 dress. He warmly applauded the staunch support that the women had given the burghers during the war, which, he said, had greatly encouraged the men In the field. Continuing Gen. eral De Wet recommended his hearers to be loyal to the new government, and said:
 Perhaps it is hard for you to hear this from my mouth, but God has de- cided thus I fought until there was no more hope of upholding our cause, and, however bitter it may be, the time has now come to lay down our arms. As a Christian people God now demands that we be faithful to our new government. Let us submit to His decision"
 Neither General De Wet nor MT. Steyn, former president of the old Or ange Free State, was ever wounded during the war. General De Wet has not seen his wife for two years.
 The repatriation committee which has been formed to assist the Boers in re- turning to their farms has a gigantic task before it. The concentra ton camps will be converted into supply depots to provide the returning burghers with the means to rebuild and restock their farms. The wives and families of the Boers will, if desired, be maintained at the expense of the government while the burghers are preparing the farms for their reception. Two thousand of the National Scouts, who fought upon the British side during the war, will in- be disbanded and each Scout will be provided with a pony and ena- bled to return to his farm

KING SUFFERS A CHILL.
LUMB4GO RESULTS COMPLYING
 HIM TO HIS ROOM.
sion of Torchlight Tattoo nt Aldershot t Saturday NIght-Cause of the 1ndfs- position-Bound to Cause Anxiety Understood to be Run Down.

| London, June 15.-King Edward to-
 day is suffering from chill, which pre-
 vented him from attending to-day'S church parade of the Aldershot garri'
 son. The chill came as a result of his
 prolonged stay outdoors last night upon
 the occasion of the torchlight tattoo at
 Aldershot. The chill is slight one, ac-
 companied by symptoms of lumbago. | The weather last night was extremely cold, and it rained at intervals before their majesties left the brigade recrea-
 ton ground. King Edward returned to
 his apartments, chilled from the un7 wonted exposure.
 The Court Circular tonight publishes
 the following official announcement: King Edward was unable to leave his room to-day owing to an attack of lumbago caused by chill"
 Sir Francis Laking was in attendance upon the king Sunday night and found him much better. The latest expecta- ton is that he will be able to attend the review tomorrow. The reports Of his majesty's illness have naturally caused apprehension, but there is apparently no reason to anticipate serious results.
 Sir Francis Laking physician in or dinary to his majesty was summoned to Aldershot early this morning. He prescribed for the king and recommend- ed that to- day be spent in perfect quiet. Queen Alexandra and the other mem- bers of the royal party attended the service at church, but remained in the royal apartments for the rest of the day. N
 It has been learned that the king arose this afternoon. This is consider ed a good reason for hoping that indis- position is only temporary.
 If King Edward does not attend the review tomorrow the Prince of Wales will receive the salutes of the troops in behalf of bis majesty,
 King Edwards indisposition was an- nounced too late to become generally known in London to-day, but, consider ing the near approach of the corona ton, it is bound to cause extreme anx- iety.
 It is understood that his majesty is "'run down. to some extent as a result of his constant attention, during the past few weeks, to numerous state du ties and obligations, and in spite of the hope expressed at Aldershot last night that he would be able to attend the re- view of troops to be held there Monday, it is more than likely that Sir Francis Laking will forbid his majesty to run any further risk, especially as the weather continues to be cold and rainy Sir Francis will probably enjoin the king to rest for another day.

Came Together Head-On or New York A Thousand Exoursiontsts Returning from Coney Island on the Former Women Became Hysterical With Fear Many Prevented from Jumping Overheard.

New York, June 15-With one thou sand passengers aboard, coming from Coney Island, the steamboat Cygnus, of the Iron Steamboat company, was in collision early tonight with the steam boat H. r. Dimock, of the Metropolitan Steamship company, which had just ar rived from Boston. It was d head-on collision, and the bow, deck and rails of the Cygnus were torn and shattered. Fortunately she was not seriously dam- aged below the water line and so es- capped sinking
 Fright prevailed on the Cygnus at the moment of the collision. The Wo- men and children became hysterical with fear, and cool work on the part of deckhands and male passengers was all that prevented many of the passen- gers from jumping overheard. All of the passengers were landed safely.
 The Dimock escaped with slighter in- juries than the Cygnus received, though her steel bow was stove in. She went to her pier and discharged her passen- gers
 The excursion boat General Slocum, while approaching Rockaway Beach on her last trip down this morning, went aground about five hundred feet from the dock. The accident was due to the Slocum's captain having to sheer off to avoid crashing into large yacht which crossed the steamers bow. Another steamer took off the passengers.

Merchants Agree to COnAne Their
 Advertising to Newspapers.
 The merchants and business men of Scottdale, Pa, have formed an assocl- ation against all fake advertising. Hereafter they will place their adver- Using money in the one daily and two weekly newspapers published in the town. They have unanimously indorsed the newspaper as being the best medi- um of advertising and the only one that proves satisfactory at all times.
 The local merchants had become dis gusted at the frequent instances in which they were talked or virtually forced into advertising schemes which turned out worthless. I Church programmes and programmes for local entertainments are also under the ban, as many of the merchants complain that with every entertain ment given where there Is an excuse for publishing programme they are solicited for an advertisement.
 Some of the merchants asserted that they have spent from $1OO to $500 a year in schemes which are wholly without any return as advertising and which cut them down just that much in their newspaper advertising.
