ENGLISH CABINET TO
CONSIDER B0ER CLAIMS
Meeting to Be Held Today, When Lord
KitcheneT's Latest Message
VIII Be Discussed.

LONDON. May 23.-The cabinet viii
meet today to consider General Kitch-
ener's dispatch embodying the claims
which the Boer delegates yesterday took
to VereeRiging from Pretoria Beyond
this nothing is known in London regard
ing the peace negotiations.
There has been the customary fiutter
at the stock exchanges which have oc-
CURED whenever the possibility of peace
has come to the foreground. None of
the dispatches from South Africa con-
tain guiding word.
There are the usual safe guesses that
many of the Beers in the Eastern
TransvaaI wish for peace; that the
Western Transvaalers wish for indie
pendence: that the Free State Beers
wish to fight. and that the Cape Colony
rebels are utterly determined to fight,
but all are based on general knowledge
of the conditions and are not inspired
by inside information regarding the
Vereeniging decisions.
The DAILY Nall declares that, in
reply to the protracted haggling OF the
Beers at Pretoria, the British govern
ment has sent what is practically an
ultimatum, and the result is expected to
be its acceptance.
The Morning Post" and other gov
eminent organs are not Tguine.

SENATOR TILLMAM
DEFENDS HIS SPEECH
Tells South Carolina Convention That
He Was Goaded to Ii by Repub-
hcan Hypocrisy.

COLUMBIA, S. c., May 23.-The State
convention. before adjournment early
yesterday morning, called Gilman, d"
and the Senator, who had been acting as
chairman of the committee on platform,
responded He did not speak cheerfully
of the chances Of the Democracy win
ring next time, but considered then bet
ter than last. because of the Philip
pine war exposures.
As to his recent speech In the Sen
ate, he declared he was not a whipped
cur. and would not be made to surren-
der the privilege Of brave man to
speak the truth. He had been goaded
by the hypocrisy of the Republicans. He
then told them the truth He did not
see the Democrats Senators withdraw
but did not care one jot IL they did.
He was tired Of Southern men being
abused and afraid to express them
selves. Il was cowardice- This sec
ton WAS looked upon only as a lemon to
be squeezed IN taxes.
The convention passed the usual Tcsc-
lutions against combinations OF capital
imperialism. and tariff No mention was
made of silver Resolutions condemn
ing in severe language the manufactur
ers who closed their mills in the west
eTn part OF this State recently. because
of a strike in Augusta. were passed.
The Legislature was urged by resolution
to pass the child labor law.
Il was declared that South Carolina
would gladly welcome Cuba into the
Union when she would apply. IN the
meantime the greatest concessions
should be made the new republic by the
National Government Senator Nc
Laurin's course was condemned.

Standing of the Teams.

I'm tired, so very tired; conversation
always seems to tire me- was what the
Statesmen were saying yesterday before
the game. The work of chalking up a
victory was so firing upon them on the
previous day that they will not be ahIc
TO do anything in the line Of winning a
game for moon or two. Manager I1of-
tus should know by this time that his
team could not win a game and then
play a game on the following day Why
the very idea is absurd He should have
raked nine other amateurs from around
the city and played them instead of the
Senatorial bunch who defeated the New
Cardinals On Wednesday evening. That
is no joke or fairy tale either. If Tom
ME had gone out on the sand lots out in
the northeast section of the city he
would have run across q goodly number
of amateur players who can appropri-
ately term the Senators 'dubs.'' A man
or two from the Swampo0dle stars, a
couple from the Royal IFishmen'S team.
tWirler from the Busy Bees, and an
outfeIder from the Little Potatoes lard
TO Peel, would undoubtedly have put up
as good IL not better article Of hall
than those husky looking men who get
SO much per for ambling around the
verdant field. The Senators were caIded

bear the writer out in the statement
that the locals were not in yesterdays
game They were in Wednesdays con-
test and 1t could not be expected that
they would be in another game for at
least a week
Ii was that same old story Tom Loft
tus said. Well. all l can attribute our
defeat to IS inability to connect with the
pellet at opportune times" Now who
ever heard OF such a reason being giyea
for a defeat Tommie will have to ex
plain that remark as II IS too deep for
the average fan to reason out. The
question is now W: Would the Inability
of a team to connect with the horse
hide at opportune times loose a game
for that team Answers to this Duz-
cling question will be received at this
Office from now until the Senators leave
the city on their Western trip. The
ping pong editor will open all replies
and decide the matter pro or con.
Lee, a man who is said to receive
monthly salary for tWirling for the Sen
ators. attempted to earn his salary yes
terday. but so far as is known he has
not as yet delivered the goods Cough
lin will be seen on the diamond -odas
with q pair of spikes on his shoes. DC
has been in dire need of these for two OF
three days. and the whole team 5eeds
something to hold them up so far as
that goes. but the Scranton lad has been
spending his salary on ice cream soda
and forgot all about the spikes. He re-
membered that he needed them when he
did stunts in the slipping and slide line
when he chased after iy during yestcr-
days game.

ments made today by coal operators here
indicate plainly three facts The first is
that the mine owners consider this fight
not one over a mine wage scale, nor
over any other question than that OF
whether or not the mines shall in the
future be controlled by the United Mine
Workers of America or by the OpeTat-
oTs. Secondly, that the operators intend
TO win at any cost Thirdly, that unless
Mr.. Mitchell, the strike leader. backs
down there will be serious trouble on
June ?, the date set for the withdrawal
from the mine of the engineers, fremen,
and pump runners, for whom an eight
hour day with ten hours pay is de-
manded.
Up until today the mine operators have
maintained 4 close silence, refusing to
discuss the strike or their plans regard
ing it But today two men identified
with two of the largest coal companies
made statements One OF them said:
Operators Determined.
at is certain that the operators arc
not going to accede on June ? TO de-
mands which they have already fatty
refused. and it is equally certain that
the operators are not going 10 allow
their mines to sink into a condition
which would render them almost useless
for year. IN short, the demands of the
miners viii be refused and the mines
viii not be allowed to food"
The manager OF what is said TO be the
largest anthracite coal company in the
region said:

Both operators and miners here ex-
pect trouble en June 2. President Fahey,
of District No. 9. said today that there
would be no receding by the strikers.
