| peal Were Exa9gesstel.
London, Nov. PA parliamentary
paper relating to the Boer generals
appeal to the world was published dur
Ing the afternoon. In q letter to Gen
eralABotha, Colonial Secretary Cham
berlain protests against the ''exagger.
atoms in the appeal" and the 'Incor-
rect Impressions conveyed thereby
and points out that In addition to the
gift Of $15,O00,000 for the relief Of the
Beers Great Britain had been spending
$1,000, 600 monthly since the close Of
the war in maintaining the burghes
camps as organizations to enable the
people to return to their homes.
Mr.. Chamberlain also suggests that
large sums were RENTED by the
Transvaal to Europe during the war;
says that there must be large balance
thereof remaining and invites General
Botha's cooperation in finding the per-
sons to whom the money was intrusted
and in recovering the balance which,
he says, Great Britain is prepared to
ooN w tAC ruhlc dhCoOy RLVtlucu
the relief of the burghers.
General Botha in reply says that un.
til Mr.. Chamberlain made his speech
Of Nov. he understood that the $15,-
100000 was partial compensation for
war losses. II he had known that IT
was solely for the relief of restitution,
the appeal in such form would not
have been issued. The general de-
clares he is quite unaware that any
sums were RENTED to Europe, as al.
legged. and that If such sums exist he
would be very glad to see them devoted
to the objects mentioned
He concludes with congratulatory
reference to Mr.. Chamberlain's ap-
preaching trip to South Africa and an
expression of his wish that the contro. |
versy regarding the past should he
ended and that both sides address |
themselves entirely to the necessities |
OF the present and future.

OUTLOOK FOR BOYCOTT,

Meeting In Albany Next Week May
Decide MatteFs.
Schenectady, N. Y, Nov. 22.-The 81
tremists in the Trades assembly, who
are trying their best to have the boy.
colt against the Schenectady Railway
company made effective, now make nc
secret Of their belief that If the united
traction employees Of Albany and Troy
do not come to their aid they will lose
their case entirely.
The action Of the machinery builders
section of the Trades assembly in de
claring against the boycott with prac
teal unanimity has taken away the
last support from under the local labor
men, who have for a long time en-
deavored to fOment strife between the
Trades assembly and the railway, and
all eyes are now turned to the next
meeting of the Albany local Of the
Amalgamated Association Of Street
Railway Employees, which will bs
held on Monday of next week.
Six delegates from the Trades Assem-
bly, are to be present They will be
designated by President II. v. Jackson
who is expected to head the delegation
and he will make last attempt on
this occasion to stem the tide setting
in SO strongly against the boycott.
The Typographical union voted
against the boycott, and several other
unions that will meet are expected to
take the same course. The cars of the
company are now being patronized
better than on any day since the boy
colt was instituted.

The National tribune., 1902-07-24

Reynolds: now and then a hospitabie array
of Refreshments in farmers yard showed
the superiority of the host to personal fears
in his sympathy with the soldiers, whose
heads the July sun was fiercely shifting,
and the white bursts of smoke high in the
air came closer, and the double explosion
Of cannon and shell was more nearly simul-
taneouS.
The Twelfth Corps was now moving
upon the Baltimore Turnpike. which ran di-
rectly over the crest of Cemetery Hill, the
highway to the Nations Capital, the point
Of the most strategic Importance in the
battlefield. the army's roadway of retreat.
Two miles from the town the skirmish line
was formed, and Williams's First Division
felt its way slowly to the right and front
of where the battle had been, while Geary s
Second Division went away to the left. 1t
is but little that line officer knows of the
topography of the fields he hurriedly tra-
verses. Hills and woods quite invariably
shut from his view the operations of other
than his own regiment or brigade; and as
his positions change from hour to hour, he
is apt to retain in mind only a confused
impression of rocks, trees and fences, not
much unlike their kind everywhere. Yet,
as it seemed then, SO it would now, it l
were to be dropped among the woody hills
southeast of the cemetery. We were in a
place capitally suited to sturdy defensive
warfare, for the wide-stretching woods
were of goodly-sized trees. and quite free
from underbrush. while everywhere large
powders cropped out of the soil. This for
nation characterized both the right and
left fanks of Gettysburg battlefield. On
the left, the two Round Tops were wooded
from base to summit, and thickly beset
with ledge, bowlder and shingle. On the

termination. and prayed heartily that il
would not fall upon him, as it seemed as
| if everything must tumble upon our heads
From my lookout l could see a battery
in the left center, standing ont against the
sky. 1t was my index of the effect Of the
| cannonading upon the stability Of our
lines. So long as it stood fast and de-
livered its fire, l felt somewhat at ease.
But once or twice it was relieved. or Its

be next. But its post was not abandoned,
and the battle was not lost.
We could not see the infantry action
which followed at 3 o'clock; that imposing
advance across a mile OF open field, with
occasional halts to tear down fences. of the
$4,000 Confederates, who, before they
came in contact with Hancock, were re-
duced to Pickett's band of 4.500-the steel

of shaft of softer fiber. The crash, long
prolonged; the shouts, as much Yankee as
rebel; then the diminution to pattering
shots, and the Union hurrah outlasting the
these came to us to give US somewhat more
Of assurance than of fear, and then fol
lowed more of comparative stiffness.
Whether or not we We're to have another
day of this terrific strain, nobody knew.
We slept soundly enough at night, but
how nervous we were is shown by an epi-
sode of my nights duty as Officer of the
Guard. Some time after midnight, one or
two musket shots were fired upon our
picket front. In an instant the whole bri-
gade was upon its feet, and without orders
blazed furiOusly into the darkness. 1t
was many minutes before discipline could
be long enough asserted to show that there
were no signs of any enemy in our front.
1t may be that the shots which provoked
our uprOar were q feint of the enemy's
withdrawing pickets. for at 8 o'clock on
Saturday morning cur reconnaissance, as
far as the York road, leading northeast
from the town, discovered only the debris
of battlefield men, dead horses, and ex-
ploded caissons. where our batteries had
silenced the hostile guns: abandoned
wagons, leveled fences. dwellings, in whose
yards were bloody clouts; desolation where
four days ago were the thrift and beauty
of rich farms.
For two days we stayed upon the field
to bury our dead, and to await the reports
of scouting parties as to Lees movements.
On Sunday afternoon our faces were set
once more toward Virginia.
