FAREWELL DINNER.
It is Given to Sir Alfred Miner, in
London and Many Big Men Are
Present,

London, March IA farewell dinner
was given tonight at the Cafe Monico
to Sir Alfred Miner the newly APP
pointed governor of Cape Colony. Among
the guests were Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain, Mr.. Balfour. Lord Rose
berry, Sir William Vernon Harcourt. the
Marquis of Landsdowne, Viscount Peel
and Mr.. John Morley. Mr. Asquith, an
old college friend OF Sir Alfred Miner.
presided. Mr.. Chamberlain made an
address in the course of which he said
that although the South African situa-
ton was not free from anxiety and
even danger, he believed the problem
was not insolvable. The common in
Africa were UNNECESSARILY greater than
any differences between them. The
British were always willing to concede
to their Dutch fellow subjects all the
privileges of the law they themselves
enjoyed and had shown time and again
that they did not desire and did not in
tend to interfere with the freedom of
neighboring states.
Surely it might be hoped that the
Transvaal would realize its duly and full
fill the obligations it had voluntarily as
sumed in the London convention and ex-
tend the hand of fellowship to the for
eigners who had so largely contributed
to the prosperity of the republic.
Continuing Mr. Chamberlain declared
that the British nation was determined to
uphold it's rights under the convention,
and its dominance in South Africa, if as
had been suggested certain eminent men
in South Africa. aspiring to an indie
pendent federation of states. in which
Dutch influence would be dominant were
seeking the support of continental
Europe rather than Great Britain He
viewed such a course as Incompatible
with British interests even with the
possession of Cape Colony, which was
the most important strategic point of the
empire, and which was absolutely neces-
sary to Great Britain as a great eastern
power Until such aspiration was
frankly abandoned there could not be
final and satisfactory settlement of the
question.

FINANCIAL STRINGENCY.
Formation of a National Monetary
Commissioner Talk Had With
Gage.

Washington, March 27.-The executive
committee appointed by the monetary
conference which met recently at Indian
apolis to consider measures for bringing
about change in the financial strin-
gency, had a long talk with Secretary
Gage today about the formation of a
national monetary commission. The COM
mittee consisted of dozen members,
headed by II. H. Hanna of Indianapolis.
They found Mr.. Gage rather favorable
to the idea, and it is not unlikely he will
take some action looking TO carrying out
the wishes of the conference. There is
some question. however, as to the ex-
pediency of taking up the matter now, and
anything Secretary Gage may decide to
do will probably be deferred. 1t will be
necessary for congress to act on the sub
ject before the commission can appoint
and most of the members of the commit
tee will remain in Washington for a week
or two to sound senators and representa-
tives on their proposition.

McNulta Sees Gage.

Washington, March 27.-General Nc
Nulta of Chicago saw Secretary Gage to-

campaign through the medium of a let
ter The political situation in Chicago is
very much complicated with three gold
men as candidates for mayor against a
straight-out silver candidate, Carter Har-
I.son. The claim made that the election
of Mr. Harrison would prove injurious to
TIE gold cause and to the national adj
m:ristration induced General McNuta
to apply to Mr.. Gage for assistance. Mr..
Gage declined. however to write the de-
sired letter He said that even if Mr.
Ha-r:son were elected. the ballots cast
for the sound money candidates woyld
overbalance the successful candidate, and
he did not believe that the administration
should take part in the controversy and
thus leave itself open to criticism.

WHEAT OUTLOOK.
Conditions as Viewed by the Ameri-
can Agriculturist.

New York March 27.-The American
Agriculturist in its issue of April 3, will
say: Returns from country CORE
spondents indicate that the fall-sown
crop of wheat has met with disaster.
After making every allowance for pos
sible recuperation by spring sunshine, the
fact remains that the condition reported
by trained observers, after careful exam
ination, averages lower at the close of
March than for any year at the same
date since 1885. The general average for
the crop after an unusual allowance for
possible exaggeration in under-statement
is placed at S3,5 points against 81 last
year, and S5.3 in 1884 In reaching such
an average, the crop of New York. Texas,
California and Washington is counted
as practically perfect, while to further
illustrate the damage, it may be said
that in the six great winter wheat
states. Ohio. Michigan, Illinois, Indiana,
Missouri and Kansas, the conditions of
the crop average only 10 against 50 this
time last year.
