According to my view of the subject, the con-

Secretary olney, through the American Ambassador at the Court of St. James, Hon. Thomas F. Bay ard, has requested the British gov ernment to provide for the protec- ton of Americans in the Transyaal. The representative who made the request was escorted to the Colonial office and introduced to the Secre- tary of State for the Colonies, MT. Joseph Chamberlain, by whom he was kindly and courteously received. When Mr. Olneys request had been made known, Mr Chamberlain i'm mediately said:
 "We shall be very glad to use our good offices in behalf of the United States. "
 Not content with making this as surance, MT. Chamberlain shortly afterwards addressed a brief note to MT. Bayard Tn which the former, Tn the most kindly terms, repeated the assurance that Great Britain would do whatever was possible to protect Americans in the Boer Republic
 This is additional evidence of the kindly feeling existing between Americans and Erglishmen, be- tween whom it seems almost impos- sible there should be q great and de- structiye war. If England will keep up her cordial relations with the United States and adopt some hon. orable means of adjusting her pres ent differences with this Government the progress, prosperity and ciyili- zation of the two great English speaking Nations will be greatly ac- celerated.
