Indianapolis, Ind, July 2s.-The
United Mine Workers may. try to OBJ.
tain the impeachment of Federal
Judge jackson, of West Virginia, who
restrained them from holding meet
ings to induce men to quit work,

final hearing refuses to dissolve the
Injunction.
Secretary Wilson admitted that the
miners contemplate this course and
that q complete transcript of the
case, including the complaints and
Judge Jackson's decision, will be
prepared for submission to President
Roosevelt and the senate. The
miners also intend to give the public

says that the miners will not ask
President Roosevelt to interfere with

HENDERSON INTERVIEWED.
The Speaker surprised 20 Hear the Re-

ancs Against Him.

Dubuque. Ia, July 29.-Speaker
Henderson, in an interview yesterday
on the report about the National
Millers' federation's grievance against
him on the ground that he prevented
the passage Of the London dock bill,
said:
II had not heard anything of 1t I'M
til Saturday last, when first saw an
article on the subject. I was great
ly surprised to see anything Of the
kind from the millers, whose friend
l have been all the time, and I tried
to get their bill through. I gave
them the floor once and let 1t come
up the second time, but members in
charge of the measure wanted 1t
passed over, as they hoped for a
compromise between friends and
enemies of the bill. This was twice
that the bills friends had an oppor.
tunity. Later I proposed again to
have the bill called up by calling
upon the committees, but Mr.. Taw-
ney, author Of the bill, was absent
that day and other friends Of the
measure were unwilling to have It
come up in his absence, SO that is
three times that the bill practically
had its day in court, and for the rea-
sons named failed to be disposed Of,
but in no instance was it any fault
of mine. The bill is a just one and
ought to pass, and I have no doubt
it will pass at the short session Of
congress. I fear there has been very
thoughtless misrepresentation about
this matter, for it is not usual for
men to attack their loyal friends"

SHORT PRISON TERM.
DR.. Wilson, Nicaraguan Fllibuster,
Escapes the Death Penalty.
Befriended BY Minister Corea. President
zelaya COMMITTED His, Sentence to lm-
prlsonment for Time and Then Ex-
pulsion from Nicaragua.

Washington, July 29.-The life OF
DR.. Russell Wilson, of Ohio, who was
captured with a revolutionist party
in Nicaragua, has been saved through
the representations of Minister
'Corea, of that country. A cablegram
was received at the state department
to-day from Chester Donaldson,
United States consul at Mangua,
Nicaragua, dated the Goth, as follows:
"As a courtesy to the United States
and sympathy for the mother, the
president will commute Russell Will
sons death sentence"
Wilson was one of several Ameri.
cans who Joined q filibustering ex.
petition which landed at Monkey
Point, near Bluefields, early in July.
Most of the party were captured or
killed. Wilson would have been sum.
marily executed but for the inter.
position of Senior Corea, the Nicara-
guam minister here. Having secured
a stay of proceedings and guaran'
tee of a legal trial, the minister has
now induced President Zelaya to
commute the death sentence imposed
upon Wilson by court-martial. Be.
fore the receipt of this message 1t
was not known that the court-mar.
tial had been held. 1t is presumed
that the communication is for i'm
prisonment for time, and then ex'
pulsion from Nicaragua.
Senator Hanna, who has been most
active in DIR. Wilson's case, was much
gratified when shown the Associated
press dispatch from Washington an.
nouncing that the president OF
Nicaragua would commute the SEN
-tence of the prisoner.

Washington, July 2s.-Volunteei
soldiers in the Spanish war are max
ing pension record which promises
to develop into a scandal. In com
pairing the records of five regular
and five volunteer regiments which
fought at Santiago, it was discovered
that nearly twice as many volunteers
as regulars had applied for pensions
while the number of regulars killed
as compared to volunteers were al
26 to one. OF the wounded ther
were 396 regulars and 10 volunteers
The two regiments which stand al
the head of the list of pension ap
plicants are the Ninth Massachu'
sets and the Eighth Ohio, which
had no wounded and no killed.
The pension Office records make the
startling disclosure that while the
Eighth Ohio landed in Cuba with 1905
members, a total of 705 pension
claims have been filed either by the
soldiers or their relatives. This
regiment has filed pension claims fol
SO per cent. of the members which
landed in Cuba. While the figures
for all regiments have not been made
public, it is said that many other
regiments have filed fully as large
percentage of pension claims az
the Eighth Ohio.

Anti-Imperiaiists Express Qualification To.

Cen. smith Court Martial Case.

Lake george, N. 80 July Eo.-At .
meeting of representative antrim
perialists held in New York city last
spring q committee was appointed
to investigate army conditions In the
Philippines. That committee has
since then been prosecuting its in
quiries. President Roosevelt's re-
cent review of the courtmsrtial of
Gen. Jacob II. Smith seemed to the
committee to demand some reply,
and at meeting just held at Lake
George an open letter to the presi-
dent was adopted. It says in part,
1--WE desire to express the gratia-
cation afforded US by your review
Of the 14th inst, as commandment.
chief, of the findings of the court.
martial in the case Of Gen. ]. II.
Smith. Especially opportune. in our
Judgment is your very commendable
reminder to officers in high and re-
sponsible positions that, in war
fare with national dependents, such
as that recently waged by US in the
east, 1t behooves all such officers
to be peculiarly careful In their
bearing and conduct as to keep q
moral check over any acts Of an i'm.
proper character by their subordi.
nates.'
Coming directly to the point, and
speaking historically, our investiga-
tions have led us to conclude that
the Generalization of the officers and
soldiers Of our army in the Philip
pines, including all branches Of the
service, and all grades of rank, was
far more general, as well as pro-
nounced, than might be inferred from
your review of the court-martial
findings in the case Of Gen. Smith,"
The letter then discusses the kill
and burn" order and says: "As the
not unnatural result Of military oper-
atoms SO inspired. an official report
indicates that, out Of total popula-
ton in a single district Of 100000,
not less than 100000 persisted"
1--WE find ourselves, though with
deep regret, compelled to take issue
with you on one important point.
"In your review of July IA you say
almost universally the higher Off.
GERS have so borne themselves az to
supply the necessary check over acts
Of an improper character by their
subordinates.' We, on the contrary,
have found ourselves impelled to the
belief that the acts referred to were
far more general-the decentralization
more all-pervasive. We hold our
selves ready to direct your attention
to cases the investigation Of which
would demonstrate the following
criminal acts, contrary to all recog-
nized rules and usages Of warfare,
on the part Of the officers and sol
diers Of the United States: /, lid.
naping and murder, under circum.
stances Of aggravated brutality; Q,
robbery; 3, torture, both of men and
women, and rape of the latter; 4.

ties, on the strength of evidence
