At any rate, is safe to say that nobody will starve or want for necessary clothing. Most of the men live in com- pany houses and we must consider the probability of eviction. but these things have all been fully considered and met as they present themselves. At this time it would be folly for the organization t to provision made for feeding anl clothing the strikers.” President Mitchell will leave Saturday for Hazleton, Pa., to personally conduct the strike. Prior to ordering the strike, President Mitchell sent this message to the mine- owners and managers: 1 A strike is imminent in the anthracite coal f it comes It will have only upon the coal re- an infuriov gions, but cite coal is lic, therefore, i the comnany of which you are president co trols minea in the anthracite regions. we, the authorized representatives of th thracite miners, In order to promote the public welfare and avert a strike, propose to you and the other coal operators that the whole question of wages conditions in the anthracite coal flelds be submitted to arbitration.

Significant also, although it is uncon- ‘ firmed, s the announcement that Generai Botha, the Boer commander in chief, is making overtures to surrender, and the follow the usual course of beaten armies and lay down their arms, or formally de- clare in favor of guerrilla warfare, must be speedily settled. it is, however, be- | leved that President Kruger's action de- | prives the Boers of their main pretext for | remaining in the field. | The British war office has issued a long | report from Lord Roberts on the treat- | ment of British prisoners of war at Pre- | toria, founded on the report of the court | of_inauiry. | Briefly, Lord Roberts declares that the | treatment of the officers was fair, but that the food of the men was quite fn- | adequate and of inferior quality. He de- | nounces the treatment of the Colonfal risoners as criminals and says the in- | gumln treatment of sick prisoners throws the greatest discredit cn the authorities then at Pretoria. The prevalence of sick- ness and many deaths of prisoners, Lord Roberts adds, are attributable to the lac! of proper food, medicines and accommo- datlons and ttlhe neglect of ordinary san ftary precautions.
