About month ago it announced that Colonel

sentative had concluded his investigation with regard
to the British supply camps for the Boer alleged
TO be located at Chamete La, the city of New
Orleans. Are the president the secretary of war
trying to suppress this report, they tried to sup.

Public interest has been taken up with the great
Philippine debate in the senate with the Vaccinations
of the beef trust and of the other trusts which are
preying upon the American people. Recently we have

The governor of Louisiana furnished the administra-

the United States court at New Orleans brought by
General Pearson the Boer representative in this
try against British steamship firm engaged in the

FOR THE CANTEEN.
Report of Army Officers Unanimous
on the Subject.

Washington, Nov. 25.-The war de-
partinent Is in constant receipt of data
concerning the canteen question anu
the effects of its abolition on the army.
Appropos OF this the statement is made
at the war Department. that such in
formation as has been contained in the
reports of the army officers upon the
subject has been given to the public
and it is denied that any effort has been
made to influence public opinion on the
matter.
1t is said at the department that the
recommendation Of the adjutant gen.
eral, in his annual report, were based
on the information contained in these
reports. 1t is pointed,,ou that the ex-
istence OF something like IA, 90 saloons
in the vicinity OF the army posts ia
shown by the reports received at the de-
partment, $50 to 800 of which are said
to have been opened since the closing
OF the canteen. This further statement
is made at the department:
The majority of posts have reported
that drunkenness and court martials
have increased; that assertions and alb
sence without leave have increased !;
that the effect of the closing of the can
teen upon the morality and discipline
of the troops has been bad. While
many post commanders are, in conse-
quence OF the frequent changes of gar
rison and from the absence of correct
data upon which to base comparisons,
unable to report as to the degreeof det-
riment creaed by the closing of the
canteen, it can be stated as an absolute
fact that in no single case has post
commander expressed an opinion that
the effect of the abolition of the sale of
beer in the army has resulted in i'm
proved conditions.

MAIN POINTS SETTLED
Only Minor Details of Strike Re.
main to Be Adjusted by
Commission.

Washington, d. c.. Nov. 25.-An
agreement has been reached by the re-
representatives. OF the United Mine
Workers and the anthracite operators.
The basis OF the settlement is ten per
cent. increase OF wages.
At noon, after SESSION of two hours
between the conferees, barrow gave out
the following statement: "The main
features OF the controversy has been
amicably agreed upon; minor details
are yet uncompleted, and as to what
they are l am not at liberty to speak.
So many people are parties in interest,
that it is difficult to arrive at an agree
ment in full, quickly. We need more
information.
81 believe that | can safely say that
a settlement will surely be reached in
all details, SO far as MacVeagh is con-
cerned. He nominally repre- 'ents the
Erie interests, but broadly represents
more. If we agree in all things, the
work of the arbitration commission will
be made much less arduous. The work
will 60 on, however. and our agree
ment will become part of the award.
Mitchell said that he expected to re-
turn to Scranton this afternoon"
G. S. barrow, Henry d. Lloyd, John
Mitchell and the latter's private stem
ograpner, Miss Morris, arrived at Will
lard's hotel at $3.50. Mitchell said
that he had not yet received definite
proposition from MacNeagh, and was
therefore unable to discuss the meet
ing of the anthracite representatives.
At 10 O'Clock MacNeagh arrived.
He looks very much worn, and said
that the strain OF the examination of
Mitchell taxed his physical ability to
the utmost. He declined to say any
thing. except II at plans for settle.
ment fully outlined, would be submit
ted to the representatives of the miners.
New York, Nov. PA delegation of
independent operators went into confer
ence with the coal presidents at
o'clock. Before entering the room, a
Scranton operator said: 1--WE are here
to ascertain why the anthracite arb "a
ton commission discontinued its ht ar
ings. We also want to know how we
will fare under an agreement entered
into between the coal operators and the
union Miners
