letter of yesterday IN. A. Tanner New
Haven AGENT, after a review of the
trading of the day, takes a hopeful
view, adding: I'VE feel that the situ-
alton fully justifies the prediction that
very much higher prices may be looked
for in the near future; that the senti-
ment of the street is consistently be-
coming more bullish. Public distrust
will give way to another view. There
is plenty of evidence in support of the
statement that the big interests in the
market are taking advantage of those
apparently weak conditions to increase
their lines of long holdings, while they
have the floor practically to themselves.
They are buying now, while others hold
off, and until money again rules easier
the market will be we'll along on the
road to a new level of .record-breaking
figures. We certainly force purchasing
any of the standard issues around cur
rent prices"

Coal Queries Answered.
the Editor of The Evening Star

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In reply to Mr.. William Macon Coleman
coal queries in The Star of Monday l will
make the following reply, and a little
thought, perhaps, will make it clear to all:
The people fully understand and appre-
ciate the fact that the strike is to regulate
the miners pay and hours, and feel most
heartily for the peaceful strikers. Unfor-
tunately some of the strikers have acted
against law and order, which has been the
means of calling out the state militia of
PENNSYLVANIA. One of the greatest mlSfor-
tunes is that the strikers have gone so far
as to use violence, against poorer class
even than themselves, viz, "the nom union
lists" Have not the non-unionists the right
of protection under the Constitution of the
United States as we'll the labor unions?
The authorities have the right to confiscate
ammunition where 1t is liable to endanger
personal property and menace life.
The law also has the right to hold any
person or persons under bond to keep the
peace and as,it seems that there has been
very little order and law with the miners
when they get ready to break out Marshal
Farquhar has right to hold such persons
until fully satisfied of peace.
non-unionist has a right to work at
such salary as he and his employer agree
upon, but the union man has a superior
officer of his union to regulate his hours
and nav and unless such an agreement is
reached it causes a strike. If non-union
man is employed in a union shop the union
Immediately orders his discharge unless he
agrees to join the union. If he does not
ioin the union and is kept by his employer
there Is strike. If a union man is dis
charged and the union thinks he should re-
main 1t causes a strike unless he is rein
stated If the union so demands.
ilae poor non-unionist Is the man that
seems to suffer the dynamite and bullets
and is the cause of the militia In the coal
fields of Pennsylvania. The Constitution
plainly states that personal property and
civil rights are guaranteed to each and
every citizen. There have been no soldiers
called out to be stationed around the OPP
orators; on the contrary, they have travelled
from city to city in special cars.
The feeling for the poor "non-unionist"
and the striking miners Is hope that their
wishes may soon be realized and the people
be happy and have plenty of coal.

SERIOUS CONFLICT AVOIDED.
Federal Troops Intervene at the Choc-
taw Capital.

A serious conflict between partisans of
rival candidates for the governorship OF the
Choctaw Indian Nation. in Indian territory,
has been averted by the presence Of federal
troops. according to dispatches received at
the Interior Department.
Gov. Dukes, the outgoing governor, who
is said to be a partisan of Hunter, one of
the candidates, took charge of the capitol
building assisted by armed horsemen, and,
according to Indian Agent Schoenfeld, arbi
trarily permitted persons to enter and sit
as members of the Choctaw council upon
commissions issued by himself, and refused
to admit members having certificates from
regularly constituted authorities.
Agent Schoenfeld appealed to Washington
for troops. On their arrival the Choctaw
council was permit ted to enter the building
and resume its sessions. Official dispatches
received here show that the vote of the
council for the office of principal chief (gov-
ernor) was counted Sunday. Green McCur-
tain had a majority of $50, and was duly
sworn in
Agent Schoenfeld wires that the presence
of the troops prevented a clash between
contending factions, and that he now antici-
pates no further trouble. All the armed
men in the Choctaw capitol or capitol
grounds have been disarmed or removed by
the troops. Gov. Dukes made a determined
fight as shown by the following telegram
he sent to the Secretary Of the Interior.
Agent Schoenfeld has considered disarm-
ing my peace officers and directing my pro-
cedure. l am proceeding strictly within our
constitution and laws, and the election will
be settled by our legislature fairly and
Justly between the contending factions. 1t
will be done peaceably If Agent Schoenfeld
does not go beyond keeping the peace My
peace officers are directed to not even re-
sent insults, but simply to stand at their
post Of duty and not permit my govern
ment to be oYerthrown. l wash my hands
of fatal results that may occur If Agent
Schoenfeld insists on usurping my author
ity as chief executive
McCurtain also wired that by instructions
of Dukes the latter's lght-armed horsemen
posted in the capitol ordered many mem
bers and council officers from the building.
The horsemen," he added, ARE ap
pointees and bitter partisans of Dukes
with whom Marshal Hackett and deputies
are cooperating. Openly stated that Dukes
purpose is to continue these conditions and
prevent counting of vote for chief until ex-
piration Of time fixed by law, and thus con-
tinue himself In office"

and the three gentlemen walked over to
the White House and were shown at once
to the Presidents room. They were with
the President an hour and half, leaving
him at ten minutes after II o'clock.
The proposition of the coal operators was a
result of the visit of Secretary Root to
New York and his conference with Mr..
Morgan on Saturday. Mr.. Morgan at that
time expressed a keen interest in the SIT
uation and desire to bring about an ad
justment If possible Following this talk
with Secretary Root there was a conference
in New York yesterday at which the prop
osition of the coal operators was agreed to-,
and Mr.. Morgan was delegated to bring 1t
to the President, In the belief that such
would be the courteous course and the best
way of promulgating the offer of settle
ment.

Nipped in the Bud.

The uprising Of the negroes whichso
alarmed the people north of Meridian,
Miss, has been prevented by the de-
termined stand Of the whites who
armed themselves and placed the
leaders of Jhegang under arrest. The
negroes arrested are Green Johnson
and Tate Moore. a letter calling upon
the negroes to band themselves against
the whites was addressed to- Tate
Moore, signed By negro named Ru1-
lin. who is Baptist preacher. Inc
letter stated that mob Of 80 negroes
would form in Rio, hemper county,
25 miles northeast of Meridian, and
march to Green Johnson's house and
from there continue through the
country, numbering all the whites,
destroying farms and burning houses
As soon as the purpose OF the negroes
WAS learned the whites armed them
selves with Winchester rifles and in a
short time had so intimidated the
negroes that it is now thought the
threatened uprising has been ffus-
Grated. The people from Marion
county, from which news OF the up
rising and threats first reached this
city are very much wrought up ana
are prepared for emergencies at mo-
ments's notice. The negroes in these
districts outnumber the white popula-s

4 Game People.

The gallant Beers, after a determin-
ed resistance against their oppreSsorS
have az last Succumbed to superior
numbers, and the war which they
waged in defence of their liberties has
ended adversely to them. This result
has been foreseen as inevitable ever
since the war began, and for several
weeks negotiations as to the condi-
tions of peace have been going on.
The terms that were finally agreed up
on gre more liberal than it was gener-
ally expected that Great Britain
would grant. much more liberal than
the British cabinet is said to have an
nounced as it's ultimatum more than
a year ago and again at more re-
cent date.
I5appears that the unconditional
surrender, which was long so emphati-
cally demanded by Premier Salisbury
and Lord Roberts, supreme military
commander Of British forces in South
Africa, was not insisted upon at the
last. The other point upon which
the Beers made their most stubborn
stand was that they would never agree
to the promicuous Punishment OF their
South African neighborS in South
Africa who Joined in the struggle for
independence. 1t was not proposed
by Great Britain to impose these
harsh terms on the Beers or the Free
Staters, but upon those British sub
jects who rebelled and helped the
Beers. 1t does not seem likely that
there will be many Of the participants
in the war banished, or punished in
any other way. Great Britain is
anxious to have peace restored as
early and as completely as possible,
and will probably pursue placatory
policy.
The Atlanta Journal says the war,
which has just ended WAS one of the
most remarkable in history. The
prediction of President Kruger that
Great Britain could subjugate the
Beers only at a cost Of blood and
treasure that would astound humani-
ty was verified even more fully: per-
haps, than he himself expected. The
direct expenditure Of money by Great
Britain on account of this conflict eN-
ceeded a billion dollars. The more
terrible loss was the death in battle
and in hospitals Of more than $4,000
British soldiers and the Wounding OF
more than twice as many more, the
majority of whom will probably be
invalided for life. The Beers never
had any very great financial resources
to draw upon. They could not have
raised more than $4,000 men to con-
tend with the force of nearly half a
million who were enlisted by Great
Britain. first and last, for this war.
The Boer loss of life was heavy, OF
course. but not comparable with that
which they inflicted upon their enc
mics. We doubt if in all the annals
of war so much damage was ever
wrought by a numerically small army
upon an overwhelmingly larger one.
The two republics who lose their ma
tional existence and pass under the
dominion of Great Britain as the re-
suit of this conflict extended over d
territory remarkably rich in natural
resources and capable Of vast develop
ment. With a just and liberal gov
ernment they will repair the ravages
Of war in few years and ultimately
become one Of the richest regions OF
the world.
