Transvaal's future, he expressed his
belief that it would be no more than
fair that the Boers should pay part of
the war expenses. 'Regarding the fu

that the imperial government had es

Rummer, who has hitherto used a

Reports from Charleston, W. Vn
continue to show n determi nation on
the part of the federal judge to con
vict the miners on some point. 'It
is said that if the injunction against
feeding the hungry miners fails, a
prosecution will begin to try to prove
blacklisting. A strict enforcement of
the restraining order issued by Judge
Keller on July 28 will prevent strikers
from entering the incorporated town
of Ansted, and as nearly all the needy
miners live in that town, this is In
terpreted to mean a great deal of
suffering in that section.
The first of tho strikers' mass, meet
ings planned to take place at the var
ious strike centers was held at Scran
ton, Pa. on August 1. There wo:e
7,000 strikers present, and National
President Mitchell and other officials
made speeclrcs. Mr. Mitchell urged
the men to stajid for their rights, and
every one o tho 7,000 voted to cons,
tinue tho strike and 'not yield until
they have won their contentions. In
connection with this mooting it is said
PnSi twenty-flve years ago, August 1,
1877, 10,000 striking miners, who had
been out for six months, met at almost
the Identical spot where today's meet
ing was held, and with uplifted hands
ayowed that they would not return to
work until their demands wore
granted. That afternoon occurred tho
memorable riot on Lackawanna ave
nue, when a company of hastily
formed vigilantes killed two men, fired
upon a procession made up of striken:
from this and other mass meetings
who were bent upon burning breakcis
and who had nearly killed Mayor Mc
Kune, when he tried to halt them. A
week later the miners went back to
work without gaining any concessions
and with their union disrupted.

ust 1 says: A letter was received at

be mobilized at Fort Riley, Kas., tno
latter part of September for the nir-
pose of participating in the proposed
extensive maneuvers of the regular
army. So far Kansas Is the only state
which has accepted the formal --invitation
of the war department fo par
ticipate, anc' ,the indications are that
the few states yet to be heard from
will decline on the ground of lack of
funds.
