LONDON, Jan. 27.-In response to fur

Americans in the Transvaal, made by
Secretary Olney, Mr.. Chamberlain, secre-
tary of state for colonies, sent dispatch
to the governor of Cape Colony, Sir Hercu-

REPRESENTATIVE WANTED
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-Secretary Olney
has received by cable an appeal from the
ing that diplomatic representative of the
United States be sent into the Transvaal to
look after their interests. Nothing is said
in the cablegram in the day of ldrect sug-
gestion that our government intervene to
secure from the Transvaal govern
raedant ment fair ;n treatment politically for for
United States is without a diplomatic rep
resentative in all Africa, save in Liberia.
and our diplomatic business with that
continent is done through the medium of
the United States residents at the home
governments of the African colonies in
Europe. 1t is only within the past two
years that we have had even consular
officer at Johannesburg, and he is
nothing more than an agent, ac-
countable to the United States con-
sui at Cape Town, Mr.. Knight.
The president might, of his own instance,
send commissioner to the Transvaal for
a special occasion, but if it is desired to
maintain a permanent diplomatic repre-
sentative there. which events would seem
10 indicate is necessary, this can be done
only by authority of the congress, which
must make the appropriation for The min
ister's salary and the expenses of the
legation. 1t is probable that a recon-
mendation to this effect will be made
shortly.

Creedon had the best of the first round,
the company expressing it's disapproval of

The share speculation today was COM
paratively dull, business being about one
third less active than yesterday. The
course of prices was irregular and die
stated for the crowd by the professional
dealers. A feature of the days operations
was a variety OF gossip almost entirely
concerning the industrial shares. London
was not a considerable factor, its opera
lions being limited and the orders about
evenly divided between the two accounts.
The initial prices were irregular, owing
TO lower London quotations for Ameri-
cans, but the general market soon proved
superior to this influence and took an up
ward trend. Sugar gained a point, partly
on covering of shorts and partly on ac-
count Of advances in various grades of
foreign sugars. The grangerS and inter
national shares also made substantial
fractional advances. The advance halted
al the end of the first hour and was sue
ceeded by a reactionary movement, in

No. ISL, introduced by Mr.. Critchlow:
We have already, some weeks ago
made reference to the remarkable atti-

with only 1,400 miles of line within her
borders Cor one mile of line to sixty
ing of enact1ng railroad commission law
which has all the bad features that such
a law could well have. Utah needs about
5000, coo, 900 yet to be expended in railway
building inside the state; and in due
course of time she will undoubtedly get
tiff she does not brighten investors
away. But that is precisely what she is
proposing to do. If Utah pleases, and if
her legislators and public men are wise,
she has a great opportunity before her.
If she will take the opposite tack to that
proposed and will announce to the world
that she wants railways and outside in
vestmentS and will guarantee to every
body who comes in such freedom from
legislative persecution as will enable them
Vestment; if she will say frankly that she
needs developing and is willing to give
fair treatment in return for the means
to such development she can become as
prosperous as any state west of the Mis-
sissippi river If she takes the course
which she now proposes she can stay Just
where she is indefinitely, so far as out
side investment and assistance in the de-
velopment OF her resources are con-
cerned."

PROTEST. FROM THE DENVER AND
RIO GRANDE-
Against the Action of the Elnigrant
Clearing HOuse-Latest BY Wire
-On Railway Legislation.

CHICAGO. March S.-The Denver &
Rio Grande has entered a strong pro-
test against the action of the emigrant
clearing house of the Western Pas
senger association in taking from it
half of its proportion of the emigrant
tariff and giving it to the Colorado
Midland. The chief grievance of the
Denver & Rio Grande is that all the
traffic allowed to the Colorado Midland
was taken from the share of the Den
yer & Rio Grande, when, in the opin-
ion of that road, it should have been
made up by general contribution
from all of the roads. The advisory
committee of the clearing house does
not, however, consider that it can do
anything to remedy the situation as
long as the present system of divis
ions is in force. By this system each
road is entitled to it's proportion of
the traffic passing through it's own
or common gateways. Until now the
Denver & Rio Grande has been get
ting all of the traffic between Denver
and Grand Junction, because the Col
oradO Midland was not a member of
the clearing house. Now, however
that it has become member the traf-
f1c is divided equally. The Denver &
Rio Grande claims that the Union Pa
cit1c and the Atchison should contrib
ute a portion of the business for the
Colorado Midland, but if this were
done it is claimed that the Denver &
Rio Grande would get more than its
share of the traffic from Grand juno
ton to Ogden, and that would make
fresh trouble all along the line. 1t is
possible that the matter may end in
the withdrawal of the Denver & Rio
