DAVIS is ALERT.
Democratic Candidate for Vice.Presideni
Answers InsinuatiOns.

For some weeks the Republicans
have been circulating among union
men statements that the Democratic
nominee for vice-Pgesident was bitter
ly opposed to union labor and that he
had severely treated union miners,
dismissing them from his employ on
the sole charge that they were con
nected with a union.
Mr.. Davis attention was called TO
the matter and copies of these Re-
publican charges were mailed to him.
MIR. Davis at once wrote to Mr. +.
S. Iandstreet, president Of the Davis
Coal & Coke Company, No. l Broad
way, New York, letter, of which the
following is a part:
"Elkins. w. Va, Sept, IL.
"F. s. Landstreet, New York:
1.-The charge is made against me In
the State of Indiana that | was
party to injunction proceedings and
the eviction of miners from the houses
of the Davis Coal & Coke Company
and | am accused of being hostile to
union labor.
"As you know all the facts, will
be very much obliged if you make
statement in reply to this charge.
VERY truly yours,
HENRY G. DAVIS"
To this communication, President
Landstreet replied in the following
terms:
THE facts are that during your
term as President of the Davis Coal
Coke Company no labor trouble oc-
Cured.
"The company only once during its
existence evieted any men from its
houses, and that was prior to your
being President.
THE only suggestion for injunction
proceedings by this company was IN
1892, and In that case the minor Of
ficials of the company, including my
self. who was then General Manager,
urged that the Injunction be obtained,
but you refused 20 allow us to make
application to court. and the proceed
Ings were dropped.
"The only discharge OF union men
by the company took place IN the fall
of .sv5, fully a year after you had
sold all your interests in the property
and retired and | had been elected
your successor.
Until the severance Of our business
relations, more than two years ago. |
had been associated with you in these
corporate interests for about twenty
years. and during that period you al
ways showed the greatest considera-
ton and concern for the welfare OF all
the employees. wage-earners, and
others Of the company.
Not only is this true as to the en-
ployees themselves. but you have
manifested your concern for the vel
fare Of their families by establishing
various relief associations. hospitals.
schools. etc. for protection Of them.
every truly yours.
IF. S. LANDSTREET, Prest."

cuLoRED MURDERERs HANGED.
John Johnston and Frank OusIey Exc
cuted at Pittsburg.

Pittsburg, July 15.-John Johnston
and Frank Ousley, both colored, were
hanged during the day for the MUIR
der of James Donnelly, a Heron
Hill grocer, on the night of last New
Years eve, in the presence OF his
daughter and aged father-in-law. The
two negroes entered the store together
and Johnston asked Miss Donnelly for
a loaf of bread, while Ousley walked
towards the money drawer. Miss Don
nelly called to her father, who started
towards Ousley, and as he did so he
was shot by Johnston, the bullet
passing through his heart. While both
the men were being baptised last
Sunday by Rev. DR.. Lee they were
told by the minister that they deserved
their fate. Both admitted the justice
of the statement and to further con-
firm it Johnston confessed to commit
ting four other murders about eight
years ago in West Virginia and Geor-
gia, the victims being tramp compan-
ions who had small sums of money
Johnston wanted.
The execution Of Johnston and Gus
ley was witnessed by son of James
Donnelly, whom the negroes murdered.
Just as the trap was sprung a member
OF the jury and two spectators fell to
the ground in a faint.

FORMER PRESIDENT OF BoER
REPUBLIC PASSES AWAY IN
SWITZERLAND.
HAD Been FAILING FOR SOME TIME
BODY WILL BE TAKEN TO THE
TRANSVAAL IF GREAT BRIT.
AIN CONSENTS.

Clarens, Switzerland, July 15.-Paul
Kruger, former president of the Trans
vaal republic, died here at a. m. from
pneumonia and supervening heart
weakness. Mr.. Kruger lost conscious
ness Monday His daughter and SON
in-law were with him at the time of
his death. He had been out only
once since his arrival here at the be-
ginning of last month.
The ex-president's body was en-
balmed and the remains will be placed
in vault pending funeral arrange
ments. Application will be made to
the British government for authority
to transport the remains to the Trans
vaal. In the meantime they will be
temporarily inferred here.
Mr.. Kruger, who was staying at the
Villa du Boichet, had been gradually
failing for a long time, but he was
able to attend to affairs, read the
newspapers and receive visits until
Saturday. A change for the worse
set in on Sunday. He became uncon
scious Monday and remained so until
his death.

LEADERS OF BUTCHERS STRIKE
coNFERs WITH REPREsEN-
TATIVE OF PACKERS.
SOME AGREEMENT SEEMS PROBABLE
EMPLOYEES MAY RESUME WORK
PENDING AN ADJUSTMENT
BY ARBITRATION.

Chicago, July 15.-The first step to-
ward peace between the seven big
packing companies and their $4,000
striking employees was taken during
the day when President Michael Don
nelly of the Amalgamated Meat Cut
ters and Butchers union held a con-
ference with representatives of the
packinghouses in which the strike was
called. There are indications that the
conference will open the way for a
settlement of the strike, prolonga-
ton of which would mean suffering
to the strikers, heavy losses to their
employers and privation and general
inconvenience to the public. Both
sides are in favor of a peaceable set
tlement upon an equitable basis and it
is believed that an arrangement will
be made for the men to return to
work, pending an adjustment of the
differences by arbitration. That this
manner OF settlement will be accepted
by both sides appears probable.
Previous to the conference of repre-
sentatiVes OF the employers and the
union a preliminary meeting of the
packers was held in Nelson Morris
company's oIice. The result was the
formation of note to President DON
nelly and Samuel Gompers, inviting
the two labor officials to a conference.
While diplomatic exchanges of this
nature were in progress a mob of
about 500 strike SympathiZerS sudden
ly set upon a dozen or more nOnuniOn
men who tried to enter the yards to
take the places of strikers. No blows
were struck, but the nonunion men
were led back to the gates and given
gentle admonition to go home The
nonunionists acted upon the advice.
There were numerous cases OF
"slugging" at the stock yards during
the day by strike sympathizers. John
Peterson and two other men leaving
Swift & Co.'s plant were attacked by
fifty or more men. Peterson was so
severely beaten that he may not re-

GENERAL REGRET AT PARIS.
Boer President Popular With the
French People.

Paris, July 15.-The death of the
former president of the Transvaal,
Paul Kruger, at Clarens, Switzerland
aroused widespread regret here, owing
to French sympathy for the Boer cause
and personal admiration for the ex-
president When he recently left Men
tone his health was gradually failing
through old age, constitutional disOr-
ders and throat trouble, which threat
ened to extend to the lungs. However,
his personal physician, DR.. Heymann,
did not apprehend speedy crisis and
Mr.. Kruger himself resisted the idea
that his physical powers were failing.
He had arranged to return to Mentone
next fall, releasing the picturesque
villa which he had occupied on the
outskirts of the town. Nevertheless
his near friends recognized that Mr..
Kruger's once rugged constitution was
gradually going to pieces. Visitors
described him as being pathetic
figure Of calm endurance. His eye
sight had dimmed, but he sat much
with his Bible open before him NUT
tering we'll known passages. He avoid
ed references to the Boer war, but
when it was occasionally mentioned
he showed no resentment and express
sed the belief that Providence would
eventually render justice to the Boer
cause

TASTE OF WESTERN LIFE
Armed Soldiers Terrify Residents os
Great Neck, L. |.

New York, July 15.-Armed with re-
vOlvers twenty artillery men, said to-
be from Fort Totten, Willets Point
have given the summer residents iM
the neighborhood of Great Neck, l.. L.
a taste of early life on the frontier
After spending some time about the
saloons, which they visited on leave
of absence from the Point, they began
to shoot out street lamps and finally
took possession of five summer hotels
along the shore front.
Terrified guests were driven to their
rooms, where they barricaded the
doors. Mirrors, glasses and bottlea
behind the bar were made targets.
One proprietor who demonstrated was
bound and thrust into closet.
After amusing themselves for a.
time the men started for the dock two
miles away. The road was lighted it's
entire length by electric lamps. Not
one lamp was left unbroken.
Meantime a posse of citizens start
ed in pursuit, but the soldiers reached
their boat first and escaped.

CONFIRMATION is LACKING
RUSSIAN GENERAL STAFF DOES
NOT DOUBT STORY OF JAP
ANESE REPULSE.

st. Petersburg, July 15.-The gen
eral staff, although it has no further
news up to the present hour of the
reported Japanese disaster at Port
Arthur, nlai4LaluS that tnele is nO lea-
son to doubt the fact that the Japan
ese have suffered a substantial Te-
pulse, pointing out that it is significant
if the report is untrue that no denial
has been issued from Toxic, when
did not hesitate to deny the Russian
reports OF the loss of the battleSnip
: Shikishlma and the atrOcity stories.
The rumOrs from London that Port
Arthur has fallen arouse only smiles
from the Russian officers.
An officer who has just returned
from the front said to the correspond
ent of the Associated Press that the
terrible loss reported to have been
sustained by the besiegers of Port Ar
thur were not unlikely in view of the
extraordinary, almost fanatical deter
mination of the japanese, never hes
itating before the most terrible chan
ces. Some Of the forts of Port Ar
thur are preceded by bitches four and
five fathoms deep, hewn out of the
solid rock. Whole regiments coulG
easily be engulfed in these chasms.
1t is not Improbable that lighting is
now progressing at Tatchekiao, as re-
cent Russian advices show that the
japanese were within a few miles OF
that place.

JUBILATiON is CHILLED.
Russians Unable to Confirm Reports
of Jap RepuIse.


St. Petersburg, July 15.-The cor
respondent OF the Associated Press
with the Russian headquarters at Lao
yang, whose telegramS heretofore
have been conservative and reliable,
announces the reception there OF the
Joyful news Of the brilliant repulse
OF the Japanese assault upon Port Ar
thur, with a loss of $4,000 men.
The correspondent says that whole
masses of the enemy were blown up
with mines and adds that the Russian
losses were 1900 and that Major Gen
eral Fock pursued the Japanese to the
Manga pass.
The correspondent says the reports
are causing general rejoicing and con-
cludes:
"It is believed that General Oku will
now retreat to the south"
1t is possible that the correspondent
is confusing Major General Fock's
pursuit with the attack made by him
July 5 on the Japanese right flank,
when be was also reported to have
driven back the enemy to Manga pass.
The popular jubilation in ST. Peters
burg over the reported great defeat
of the Japanese before Port Arthur
is being chilled by the failure to clear
up the source of the reports. While
eagerly expressing hope for direct Of
fetal confirmation of the news the
papers counsel its acceptance with re-

Esopus, N. Y, July 15.-Congress-
man Bourke Cochran of New York,
August Belmont and William R. Rody
of the Democratic state committee
arrived at Esopus during the day and
were taken to Rosemount in Judge
Parl1er's carriage. They all said they
came on the invitation of Judge Par
ker and did not know what would be
the subject of the conference or how
long they would stay.
Congressman Cochran was asked if
he would take the stump for Judge
Parker.
"Is it necessary to ask that" he re-
piled.
He said that he would support the
ticket with his whole heart in any
way that appears likely to help toward
victory.
Mr.. Belmont was uncommunicative.
He said he had not seen ex-senator
Hill since the convention. He did not
know what was to be the subject of
their conference with the candidate.
