Pretoria. Aug. 25.-At a meeting In the
Volksraad today President Kruger deliv.
| cred a speech which is likely to cause
great excitement in Great Britain. HI
said that the relations between Greai
Britain and the South African republic
are regulated by the convention OF 1884
He added that in the convention OF No
vember, 1881, reference to the suzerainty
OF Great Britain did appear, but that in
the next convention, Of 1884, not a sin
gle word appeared bearing precisely upon
that point and since then the suzerainty
had ceased to exist This. he continued
did not do away with the fact that the
South African republic and the whole
nation recognized the convention and
would endeavor to maintain II entirely
but they could not recognize the suZe-
rainty Of Great Britain, as it was entire
ly opposed to that convention.
Wherever love dwelt, said the presi-

COUNT MUTZU DEAD.
Washington, Aug. Pa telegram was
received at the japanese legation today
announcing the death Of Count Mutzu,
ex-minister of foreign affairs, and Jap
anese minister to the United States in
1883. The news was not at all unexpect-
ed, as the count had been i'll with lung
trouble for a long time and was COM
PEELED by i'll health to resign his office
about a year ago. His illness recently
took an acute form and iJson, who was
at the time secretary of the legation
here, was recalled to his fathers bedside.
Count Mutzu was one Of the distinguish
ed men in the history of the new policy
of the modern empire and successfully
carried the country through the crisis OF
the Chinese war. When hostilities were
off he was a member Of the peace con-
vention and framed the treaty which Sc
cured 10 Japan such great commercial
and political advantages. His services
to his country were equally marked in
fostering the new party movement that
for several years prior TO thse Chinese
war had eagerly absorbed the material
advantages offered by western civiliza-
H.
any one other thing that Japan in that
war was able TO meet her huge but uu-
organized rival on more than equal
terms Count Mutzu was well known
and liked in Washington, where he made
many warm personal friends during his
residence here as minister
