PRESIDENT Is TOLD
OF HIS MISTAKES
Chicago Federation of Labor Declares Roosevelt Hon.
est and Humane, but Uninformed-Che Executive
Announces That He VIII Not Be Dictated to or ntimi
dated by Unions i'm Miller Case.

CHICAGO, Sept. 20. = President
Roosevelt today was voted by the
Chicago Federation of Labor a 5000
word letter of advice in which fault
is found with the presidents attitude
on the question of open shops.
The letter was prompted by the de-
cision OF the president in the Miller
case, In which he said that Miller or
any other man must not be discharged
from the government printing office on
account of non-membership in a union.
'Deliciously unaware of the hypoc-
risy of the world of finance" honest
and humane, but unInformed," were
some of the clauses used to describe
the president in the long letter of the
open shop committee.
Its opening paragraphs contained a
definite disclaimer of any wish to at
tack Mr.. Roosevelt, the blame for the
chief executives attitude in the Miller
affair being placed on "a coterie of GER
tain well known interests which are
constantly on guard around the White
house"
The president was told that he fell
into error in his view of the question,
because of that impetuosity for which
We love you"
A copy of the communication will be
forwarded to Oyster Bay at once under
date of Labor Day, Sept. Z.

HONOR BEFORE COIN
Palma Confident Cuban Sol.
dlers viii Wait for Pay.

4 SANTIAGO, Cuba, Sept. 20.-Speak-
Ing today at the village Of El Caney,
close to the scene of the battle between
the Americans and Spaniards, Presi-
dent Palma urged the Cuban people to
jealously guard the ideals they had OBJ
tanned by means of Intervention
The presidential party were enthusi-
astically received on their arrival at
Ell Caney. The alcade having re-
marked that the gathering was mostly
composed Of veterans, President Palma
assured them he wanted to pay the
army as badly as anybody, because the
payment was not only an act Of justice,
but was necessary to the reconstruc-
ton of the country. Nobody loved
Cuban independence more than him
self, continued the president. The only
way to sacrifice the republic was to
bring about civil war. He believed
there was not one veteran in a thou
sand who would not prefer to maintain
the honor of Cuba, even to the extent
of forfeiting his soldiers pay. The
Cubans, having accepted United States
Intervention as a means of ending their
troubles, were under an obligation to
follow those ideals and prove them
selves a peaceable people
Speaking of the appearance of the
band of insurrectionists near Santiago,
President Palma condemned the hidden
instigators of the uprising. The al
cade declared that no one within two
leagues of Ell Caney had joined the
band

CIVILIZATION ASKS
CANAL CONCESSIONS
Governor OF Panama Maintains That Grants Asked for
While Implying Sacrifice, Are Not Against the Ma.
tona Dignity and Are Demanded by the Inter.
ests of the World.

PANAMA, Colombia, Sept 2O.-Sen-
ator Obaldia today took over the func-
uons Of governor of Panama. The
event was the occasion for great popu-
lar demonstration by all parties. 1t is
thought that the appointment of Gov.
Ooaidia may perhaps exert influence
against the secessionist ideas, not only
because he is. "a native of Panama,
which fact engages for him the sym
pathies of all, but because his appoint
nent apparently is part of a general
plan, the result of which will be the
election of Gen. Reyes to the presi-
dency and the approval of a canal
treaty favorable to the United States.
Gov. Obaldia, in reply to DIR. Flor
ent1ne Goenaga, president of the high
court of justice, said:

mediated, the sincere opinions 1 ex-
pressed as senator of the republic. /

an hour and excited applause from the
crowd of delegates
Dispatches from Oyster Bay say
President Roosevelt has declared he
will not be dictated to or intimidated
by the labor unions in the case of
Bookbinder Miller, now at work in the
government printing office.
The president has received a set of
unfriendly resolutions from the Cen
trail Labor union, of Washington, and
has sent to the secretary Of the organ
ization formal reply, which is merely
to the effect that he has received the
communication. 1t is not probable that
the president will vouchsafe any fur
ther answer to the union, but undoubt-
edly take some measures soon to coun-
teract the effect of the antagonistic
action.
1T may be stated emphatically and
almost officially" says the dispatch
from Oyster Bay, that President
Roosevelt will not accede to the de-
mand of the union by ordering the dis
missal of Miller. The president is a
member of one of the affiliated bodies
and is in thorough sympathy with all
the legitimate aims of the men who
toll. He will not, and cannot, however,
allow the unions, as he regards the
question, to override the laws and the
rules of the government departments,
simply because they are unions and
have power at the polls.
president Roosevelt announced to a
friend several weeks ago when the Mil
Ter case came up that rather than to
accede to such demands he would go
down to defeat"

MONTEREY, Mex, Sept. 2O.-Dr.
Roy Martin, quarantine inspector for
the government, who recently returned
from Linares, declares that the city is
dead commercially and practically dead
financially through the prevalence of
yellow fever. There are less than TO-
600 people in Linares and there are
fully 1000 persons sick from various
ailments

Mr.. j. D. Leonard and r. F. Murphy,

along the line without yellow fever and
there are many deaths AS these

TROUBLE FOR PARKS
Famous Labor Delegate May
Be Ignored at Kansas City.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept. 20.-Sam
Parks, of New York, arrived in this
city tonight to attend the convention
of the international Bridge and Struc-
tural Iron Workers, which will meet
here tomorrow. His arrival aroused
much activity among the delegates al
ready here, an activity which presages
a lively fight when the committee on
credentials shall report to the con-
vention in the morning. Parks is
member of Local No. 2, which was
suspended by President Buchanan aft
er Parks recent Imprisonment, and ana
other local union, No. 2, was estab-
lished. The executive committee of
the organization did not ratify the
action of President Buchanan, and
Parks and his partisans assert that the
action of the president is therefore
null and void.
The local union of which Parks was
or is member in New York, has sent
delegation, of which Parks is a mem
Der, to the convention, and the local
union which was organized after Parks
and his local union was suspended also
sent delegation. The strength of the
Parks and anti-Parks factions In the
convention will be decided when one
of these contesting delegations shall be
seated,

from the dead in the guise of dreams

SULTAN FEARS WAR
Crafty Turk Drafts DEGREES
When Trouble Is Threatened.

LONDON, Sept. 20.-The Balkan sit
uation presents few new features to-
day. The German emperor'S inf1u-
ence at Vienna is said to have been
thrown in favor Of allowing the sultan
the utmost freedom in suppressing the
1nsurrection. Both Turks and Macedo-
mans claim the victories in the. daily
encounters.
A dispatch from Sofia states that
Bulgarias military preparations are
reaching the stage of perfection that

600 men on the frontier within a week

weapons and ammunition are rapidly
becoming efficient.
According to dispatch from Con-
stantinople to the Daily Telegraph the
sultan is so firmly resolved to avoid
a war that on the report that France
was sending fleet to Turkish waters
and again when 1t was stated that Bull
garia was mobiliZing he drafted de-
cree forbidding massacres in Macedo-
MIA and conferring more extensive local
administrative privileges than had
been demanded by the insurgents
themselves, but on each occasion find
ing the rulnors unfounded the decree
was rescinded.
1t is believed, however, that, should
any power threaten a demonstration
in Turkish waters, the decree will be
signed.
The Sofia correspondent of the Daily
Telegraph gives a similar report that
the sultan is ready to concede local
autonomy, but will not grant interna-
tional control of Christian governor
to Macedonia.
A dispatch from the monastery of
Ria says the Greeks are joining the
revolt In the districts of Menlik and
Demi Hassir.
The Constantinople correspondent of
the Times declares that he has good
authority for asserting that several
Servian bands have already crossed the
frontier and are now meeting in Mace
donia.
If Bulgaria fights Turkey, it will be
difficult for Servia to lag behind, and
it is quite clear that a Turco- Bulgarian
war would not be so one-sided as at
first sight 1t appears.

South Dakota Cattle Thieves
Start on the War Path.
Special to The Globe.

Special to The Globe
SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Sept 20.-Some
Of the cattle rustlers, who for years
have infested Lyman county on the
Missouri river in the central portion of
the state, appear to have decided upon
Kentucky methods to drive from that
region men who have the courage to
demand that cattle stealing in the
county must cease.
e. l.. Sem, a pioneer Dakotan and
editor of the Pioneer, a weekly news
paper published at the little town of
Iona, in the southern part of Lyman
county, has for some time been de-
nouncing the cattle rustlers and de-
manding that they be brought to JUS
tice. By reason of his strong and per-
sistent pleas for law and order he has
made himself so obnoxious to some of
the cattle thieves that they decided
upon revenge.
This assumed the form of a midnight
visit to the farm of the editor, situated
few miles from Iona, where the in
cendiaries, during the absence of the
editor and his family, set fire to and
destroyed every building on the place.
The loss to the newspaper man was
considerable, as he had no insurance
on any of the property which was de-
stroyed
Editor Sem, with his family, recently
established their permanent residence
at Iona, abandoning the farm, and a
man had been engaged to move the
belongings to their new home. For
tUnately, the library, documents and
some furniture and clothing had been
moved prior to the raid of the fire
bugs"
An examination the next morning
showed that horsemen, how many could
not be told-had ridden up to the farm
and tied their animals to a fence near
the buildings, afterwards departing.
Cattle had partially obliterated the
tracks made by the horses, so the
trails could not be followed
