WESTERN FEDERATION SENDS
OUT ANSWER TO MINE OWNERS

maintain a partially fair condition
which existed prior to the present
strike, which fact is we'll known to all
members of the Federation lin this dis
tnict."
Here follows a criticism of the Mine
Owners argument that the mill and
smelter employees should not be afilli
ated with the miners.
The Mine Owners Association, in
their statement. would have the mem
bers of organized labor believe that the
miners of the district are being CO.
creed by their officers to take part in
an unjust and an unreasonable strike.
This is certainly too flimsy to be taken
seriously by any member of the fedora
ton. The operators know too well that
the rank and file of the federation have
implicit confidence and are in full ac-
cord with the action of the officers
whom they have elected and whose
duty it is to manage the details of the
strike, and will stand As a unit in car
rying out the policy of the organiza-
tion, in their efforts to establish living
conditions, not only in the mines, but
in the mills and smelters, and main
tain the right to belong to labor or
ganizatfon without endangering the
chances of earning an honest living.
They propose to resume fearlessly
as fast as men can be secured, and all
men will be protected to the last de-
gree which from the language. means
that the man who is willing to sell his
manhood and become Benedict Arm
old to the miners of the Rocky Noun
tain region will have the protection OF
corporation armed guard until the
controversy is settled.

TRAINS WRECKED
BY CLOUDBURST

Denver, Aug. l6.-A Republican spe-
cial from Buena Vista last night says:
Twenty-nine passengers were injured
in the Rio Grande wreck at Nathrop
last night caused by the collapse of a
bridge, and two trainmen in the wreck
on the Colorado & Southern, caused by
the same washout.
Nearly all the passengers injured in
the Rio Grande wreck were able to
proceed west on their trips, and the
few who were taken to the Salida hos
pital are recovering rapidly. None is
seriously injured, say the physicians.
To-day the railroad company COM
pleted temporary bridge and track
around the wreck and trains are run
ming tonight on time. 1t has been rain
ing hard again to-day, and in places
the storm was waterspout, which has
caused the railroads to put extra gangs
of trackwalkers and repairers out to
avoid another disaster.

The end came shortly after the be-

Victor, Colo, Aug. 1S--The follow
Ing statement was sent out yesterday
afternoon by the District Union No. l.
Western Federation of Miners, in reply
to the statement issued by the Mine
Owners Association the day before:
THAT philosophical organization OF
dividend grabbers and professional
stock gamblers, commonly known as
the Mine Owners Association, has in
fiicted upon the public a statement that
Is based upon the corporate idea of jus
tice of coining dividends out of the toll
of he workers, regardless OF the cond1-
tfls that surround their employment.
1leir statement is the usual corporate
appeal to union strikers when making
their stand for justice or fairer condi-
tions, to renounce their union, the on
ly protection the wage Garner has un-
der the present system of corporation
Aunits, and return to work under the
Aotection of their special deputies and
thugs and corporation vassals. 1t is
needless to say that the union man will
stand true to his obligation and hurl
back in the face OF the wOuld-be hrib-
ers the offer to sell his manhood for
corporation gold The statement OF the
Mine Owners Association says in part:
The fact that there are no grivances
to adjust, and nc unsatisfactory con-
ditions to remedy, leaves the mine op-
orators but one alternative and that
alternative is that they have the pro-
lection of corporation guard until the
controversy Is settled, when the traitor
to his fellow man Is to be cast adr1ft
and become an outcast on the indus
trial field. The fact nevertheless re-
mains that it has required an eternal
vigilance on the part of the unions of

GREAT BOXING MATCH RESULTS
In EASY VICTORY FOR JEFFRIES

Corbett, in comparison with the big
man opposed to him. looked very light
but was really heavier than ever be-
fore. He appeared to have lost some
OF his old-time speed and skill during
the early part of the fight. but this
may have been due to Jeffries' marvel
Gus improvement Corbett's physical
condition appeared to be all that he
had claimed for it. He stood many of
JefYries' terrific blows without wincing
and came back swing left and right
and landing frequently. but his blows
hardly stung Jeffries.
Jehries was not only faster, stronger
and cleverer than ever before, but he
used his head to better purpose, and,
although Corbett would hit him hard
enough to hurt an ordinary man. JEFF
fries would bore right in without no.
ticing the blows, and would deliver
telling hits that materially helped In
deciding the result of the fight.
At first Corbett was very cautious,
and apparently was outpointed by
Jefries, but later in the fight he
warmed UP and showed some Of his
old-time cleverness. From the hrst
however, it was generally regarded as
a hopeless case for Corbett. He made
a gallant fight, but he never stood
show to win.
After the fight was over, Corbet'
quickly recovered. walked over to JEFF,
fries and shook him warmly by the
hand. He said:
Jim, you beat me fairly. Yor
stand alone No one can touch you.

fight that it WIS great heavyweight

BULGARIA MAKES AN APPEAL
TO GREAT EUROPEAN POWERS

Sofia. Bulgaria, Aug. 1.-THE Bull
garian government has presented a
memorandum to the powers setting out
at great length the condition OF affairs
during the past three months in Mace
donia since the Turkish government
undertook to inaugurate the promised
reforms. The most precise details,
dates, places and names of persons are
given in the memorandum, the whole
constituting q terrible category of mur-
der, torture, incendiarism. pillage and
general oppression committed by the
Ottoman soldiers and officials.
The memorandum begins by stating
that during the past three months the
Ottoman government has taken a Sc
ries of measures with the alleged inten-
tion Of inaugurating the era of prom
ised reform and OF assuring peace and
tranquility to the Bulgarian popula-
tion of European Turkey. but which
have had the contrary effect of further
exasperating this population and reviv-
ing the revolutionary movement. In
stead of proceeding solely against per-
sons guilty Of breaches of the public
order, the military and civil authorities
have sought every possible pretext to
prosecute, terrorize and ruin the Bull
garian inhabitants, alike in the large
cities and in the small villages. Whole

destruction of villages, the pillaging
and setting fire to houses, the arrests,

New York, Aug. 16.-Joseph Pulitzer
has provided 100000 to establish a
school of Journalism at Columbia Uni
versity, this city.
A new building for the school will be
erected on Morningside Heights at a
cost of $500 900 for the school, which
will hold toward the university rela-
ton similar to that of other profess
sional schools, the law school, the
school of medicine and the school of
mines, and like them, will be national
in scope.
An important feature OF the organi-
cation of this school will be an advis-
ory board, nominated by the donor.
which will aid in devising q plan and
course of instruction.
Seven members OF this advisory
board have already been named and.
with others to be elected, will be nom
mated by the trustees of Columbia
University at their meeting in October.
They are: Nicholas Murray Butler,
president of Columbia University, ex-
ofiicio; Whitelaw Reid, John Hay, sec
retary of state: St. Clair McKelway.
Andrew d. White Victor F. Lawson of
Chicago; Charles H. Taylor Of Boston,
and Charles w. Eliot, president of Har-
ward University.
In making announcement Of Mr..
Pulitzer's gift, the World says:
AT the time of the last census there
were in the United States 141 900 law
yers and 30,90S persons classed as jour
nalists. The legal profession was pro-
vided with trained recruits by 100 law
schools, th LOG professors and in
structors. For fair proportion there
should have been at least twenty-six
colleges of journalism with faculties
291 strong.
There was not one. Not single
one of the 30,90S newspaper men and
women in the country had enjoyed
what a lawyer would call systematic
professional training.

dunn, are the facts of the Ottoman ad-
ministration of Monastir. Uskub and
Adrianople
The memorandum next relates in de-
tall number of such cases in each
vilayet. Beginning with the vilayet OF
Salonica, it states that in the town OF
Salonica itself the Bulgarian professors
of the university, the students and
'shopkeepers, in fact, all the intelligent
Bulgarians in the city, have been cast
into prison. One hundred and twenty
soldiers entered the village of Gorna-
Ribnitea May 18th and tortured to
death five men and two women.
During the first three weeks of July,
twenty-five villages in the district of
Tikvesch were subjected to the depre-
dations of the Turkish soldiers and
bashi-bazouks. The villagers were beat
en- and tortured, the women violated
and the houses plundered, while the
administrative authorities took no ac-
ton.
Then follows long list of atrocities
of the most terrible character
The memorandum has made strong
impression in diplomatic circles. The
Austrian diplomatic agent has already
called upon the premier to express his
anxiety regarding the results that may
ensue from its publication. The French
and Italian agents also expressed un-
easiness, although they took less
gloomy view.
