A true copy Of the above dispatch was
given to secretary Olney who July Is
sent reply to Sir Julian Pauncefote.
In his reply secretary Olney says: "All
the present explanation would seem to
show is that Lord Salisbury,s proposals
of May 2. contemplated not a complete
boundary line but part or parts of
such line, namely such parts or parts as
might divide uninhabited or unsettled
territory. Such conclusion requires a
somewhat heroic construction of the pa
per which in terms proposes: The fol-
lowing basis of settlement aOf the Vene-
Zuelan boundary dispute by which the
two governments are to endeavOr to
agree to boundary line upon the basis
of certain report and by which in
absence of such an agreement the ar 5itral
commission is to determine a boundary
line upon tho basis of such report. No
thing in this language intimates any
thing less than that complete boundary
line Is to be the outcome of the plan
suggested. The discussion is hardly
worth pursuing. Lord Salisbury did not
make his meaning clear in the dispatch
of May % but he certainly is entitled to
make it clear now. There is another
part of the dispatch which seems to

tend by that stipulation to withdraw
from consideration questions which
have been raised or might be raised,

have been reserved for separate examina-

di atch May 2, 1896. Lord Salisbury
proposed to evenly divide the commission

Secretary Olney in reply suggested a pro
vision for commission of unequal mum

Salisbury to Pauncefote. 1t was dated
July 8. The dispatch begins by saying
that Lord Salisbury will not at presenj
discuss the reasons that induce ths
United States government to withhold
assent from the proposal contained In his
dispatch of May 2. Lord Salisbury ther
says: "My object in addressing your ex

Jenny'S Lesson.

Jenny" said very tired mother to
her daughter one afternoon, twill you
help me sew this braid on your sisters
dress ?"
20 mother, how can you ask me to
help you when you know that it takes
all my time to make those pictures!"
What pictures ?" inquired her mother.
why, lot ofus girls met yesterday
at Katie Easton's house, and formed a
club-we call it the Busy Workers, be-
cause we will be always helping the poor.
We are making pictures for the poor sick
children in the New York hospital. Do
you not think it good plan?"
Perhaps it is" said her mother alb
sently.
So Jenny, leaving her mother to sew
on the braid, started upstairs to make
pictures. She had not been up there
very long when Katie Easton came in.
"Well, Katie" said Jenny, II thought
you were never coming.
II would have been here sooner, but
we had company for dinner, and Chloe
had so many dishes to wash that
stayed to help her.
"Why, Katie Easton, you shock me /!
The very idea of your helping your SER
want, )" said Jenny, very much surprised.
Nov, look here, Jenny, didn't we girls
form a club, and each promise that we
would do all we could to help Others ?"
"Well, that hasn't anything to do with
helping servants wash dishes, said Jenny.
Eyes, it has, too. couldn't go out
trying to help other people, all the time
knowing that mother or some of the
servants would be glad of my help. Do
you think you could
ooh, don't know" said Jenny.
After pleasant afternoon, at tea time,
Katie went home. AS soon as she was
gone, Jenny came downstairs and went
to find her mother.
Mother" she said, "have you the
braid sewed on Nettie's dress YETI"
mo-" replied her mother, 81 have not
been able to get it done"
"Then | will help you, mother; and
after this mean always to help you
first, and then work for any others can
help"
And after that Jenny always helped the
people inside her home first, and then
helped outsiders all she could.

strategy and the military art could
suggest had been taken" On the
30th of December, things being in
this position, the news came that
Jameson, with 700 trained troops OF
the Chartered Company, was enter
ing the Transvaal. 1t was then gen.
orally believed at johannesburg that
this settled the matter. To the ques-
ton whether the Beers would not
resist, the answer was that "the
Beers had degenerated; that they
were no longer the men they were Is
years ago; besides they were sur.
prised and would not fight, and that
anyhow, the chiefs had been bought
up" On the list OF January he was
20 miles from johannesburg, the
Beers having tried in vain to stop
him. He was to be in town on the
morrow. On the morrow the place
was en- fete, women sitting in the bal
comics in full dress to welcome him,
and soup kept hot for his men when
they arrived. People with glasses
at last began to see him on the hills
outside the town, and men went out
in landaus to meet him. A little after
~ came the news that the Beers had
captured him with arms and bag
gage.
He was so confident of settling
everything by forced march and
coup de main that he started with
out provisions and without reserves
of ammunition. One of Jameson's
officers, who escaped, told M. Leroy
Beaulieu that the day OF the fight
they did not see single enemy. The
only signs of him was puffs of smoke
coming out of crevices in the rocks.
THE minute the white flag was
hoisted men seemed to swarm out of
the ground like ants" The English
lost IS killed, 81 wounded, and 90
missing. The scenes in Johannes
burg on the arrival of the news were
somewhat comic. At the first mo.
ment the mob were disposed to- lynch
the reform committee for not march
ing to Jameson's assistance. But
the committee sneaked away, after
having told good many lies, just
like any ordinary lingo who has been
"hollering" tor war. M. Leroy
Beaulieu's summing up is this:
The events which accompanied and
followed the attempt at revolution
show clearly that it was not the re-
suit of popular movement, but that
of an agitation set up by the great
financial houses of johannesburg to
seize the government of the Trans
vaal and establish an English pro-
tectorate, an object which they
dared not avow, lest they should
ALLEVIATE not only the foreigners,
other than Anglo-Saxons, who had
always been opposed to the move
ment, but also the Americans and
the Africanders, who were afraid of
falling into the hands of the Char
tered Company. That Mr.. Rhodes
knew, approved, and helped to pre-
pare DR.. Jameson's expedition is gen.
orally admitted by the public in spite
of the diplomatic denials.
He gives various corroborative
proofs of the correctness of this be-
lief, and suggests as the explanation
of the insuficiency of Jameson's
preparations, the deception prac-
ticed on Rhodes by the Johannes
burg tinanciers touching both the
compatibility OF the Beers and their
military value New York Evening

Jameson's Raid into the Transvaal

Pierre Leroy-Beaulieu. the brother
of the more celebrated Paul, has an
article in the last number of the
Revue DIES Deux Mondes on the late
events in the Transvaal, which is the
first account we have seen from a
competent and impartial observer.
He reached the Transvaal from Aus.
tralia early in December, in company
with $50 emigrants rushing to the
gold fields, and at Capetown met
500 more coming from England on
the same errand. Johannesburg by
train is SO hours from Capetown. a
distance of about 1000 miles. The
population he estimates at 1000 to
5000 Dutchmen, who hold most of
the offices; 5000 to 10000 Ameri-
cans; 10000 Germans, probably an
exaggeration; few hundred Rus
sian Jews, and a few Of nearly every
race and nation under heaven.
There were 5000 British in 1890,
but the number has more than quad
rupled since then. The English and
Americans do most of the mining.
The Germans keep stores, and the
Jews creep into the little crevices left
by the other races, while the Beers
stick to their cattle-raising.
What is most interesting in his mar
rative is, however, his account of the
events preceding Jamesons raid, of
which he was an eyewitness. Ger
tain important facts he brings out
clearly Tor the first time, as far as we
know. The Uitlanders have "Min-
ing Chamber or exchange, in johann
nesburgh, at the opening OF which in
November last the president, a Mr..
Phillips, delivered violent harangue,
In which be threatened the Boer gov
eminent with insurrection unless it
made Immediate reforms, and he was
supported by the British press. BY
the 9th Of December proclamation
was issued by the National Union"
demanding whole string of radical
reforms, and calling on the people to
say how they should be secured. On
the 30th business ceased at Johannes
burg, and the reform Committee"
composed Of Leonard Rhodes, the
brother of Cecil, sitting at the head
quarters of the CONSOLIDATED Gold
Fields Company" took charge ofthe
government OF the town, began to
distribute rifles, and produced three
Maxim guns, which had been previ-
ously concealed. The working miners
were compelled to take these arms or
be discharged. Some negotiation
with President Kruger was started
at the same time, but the conces-
sions he agreed to make were pro-
nouuced insufficient.
Every day notices appeared in the
newspapers, saying all was ready,
and that all "the measures which

Wishing and Working.

ahh w vi hAI1Rs
The boy who's always wishing
I hat this or that might be,
But never tries his mettle,
Is the boy that's bound to see
His plans all come to failure,
His hopes end In defeat;
For that's what comes when wishing
And working fail to meet.
The boy who wishes this thing
Or that thing with a will
That spurs him on to action,
And keeps him trying still
When effort meets with failure,
Will some day surely win;
For he works out what he wishes,
And that's where luck" comes in
The luck" that believe in
Is that which comes with work,
And no one ever finds it
Who's content 70 wish and shirk,
The men the world calls lucky"
Will tell you, every one.
That success comes, not by wishing;
But by hard work bravely done.
