SOMEWHAT WORSE

Are there any greater hardships than

little woman in the back of the hall, ris-
ing Were you ever In a house where
four boys between 10 and 10 caught the
martial spirit mounted guard eight times
day and made it point to charge on the
cook at least twice? Did you ever note
the enthusiasm with which four boys can
enter into the spirit Of military opera

arrive?"

with foreign state shall not have effect
without approval of the queen"
Mr.. Chamberlain's contention now Is
that although all the articles of the old
convention have been replaced by new
ones, the old preamble still remains in
force. This important dispatch then
deals cleverly with various other points
at issue, such as the exact international
status of the South African republic, the
alien laws, the submission Of treaties to
the British government under article
Of the London convention, the Geneva
convention, and copcludes with the an
nouncement that it has decided to ap-
proach the British government with such
a request.
After all that has been submitted,
the right of the South African republic
of weak state, as against powerful
one-to request an independent pro-
nouncement on the extent of it's rights and
obligations as against the government of
her Britannia majesty. cannot be gainsaid
under international law, and this gov
eminent, while repeating the exposition
of its motives, views and arguments, fully
set forth in its dispatch of May 7 last
and having regard to what the right
honorable the secretary of state himself
said, viz, That in cases of that nature
arbitration was the best way among
civilized nations has again decided to
courteously approach her Britannia
maJesty's government with the request
that the principle Of arbitration may be
acoeded to-"
1t must be conceded by any impartial
Iogician that President Krugers argu-
ments will need lot of meeting, and to
explain away" Lord Derby will greatly
tax the ingenuity of the present British
government.-NewY York Sun.

THE TRANSVAAL'S RIGHTS
Plea Presented to Great Britain by DR..
Leyds

| London-Interest in the really impor-
tant question of South Africa has been
revived by DIR. Leyds's dispatch, dated
Pretoria, April 16, which has been pub
Ilished during the week. To say kru-
ger repudiates British supremacy over
the South African republic" Is hardly
fair way of stating the actual case. In
international dealings the term, "repudia-
| tom almost unavoidably connotes the
idea of willful failure to fulfill some just
obligation. But Kruger maintains that
here no obligation exists; that British
suZeralnty is absolutely non-existent,
nasmuch as it was abolished by Britain
herself in the London convention of 1854.
Those who have followed South At
rican affairs of late years will not need
to be told that the wise old man of Pre-
toria is al BILE to make out very strong case
for himself as the following necessarily
scant digest of the dispatch of DR.. Leyds,
the secretary of state, will clearly show:
Before coming to the actual dispatch it
may be we'll to recall one or two dates.
The independence of the Transvaal was
first recognized by the British crown In
1852. In 1878 the Beers were defeated by
the natives. the country was bankrupt
and in state of anarchy, and to save it
l
from further disaster Sir Theophilus
Shepstone proclaimed 1t British territory.
| In December, 1880. the republic once more
raised It's nag, ana al'er the hri'isn ueiea'
| at Majuba Hill, in February, 1881, its
independence was once more recognized
| In 1881 the convention of Pretoria con-
stituted and defined the terms of the
suzerainty retained by Britain. In his
dispatch Dr. Leyds quotes Lord Kimber
leys dlspatch Oh harcn l. 1901 noiu
kimberley was theh coiofiai secretary
he SAID:
Entire freedom OF action Will be ac-
corded to the Transvaal government so
expressly reserved 10 .he suzeralh power.

And more oennite specihcatioh OF the
rights OF the BRUSH government was
clearly lald down IN the convention OF
1881.
DR.. Leyds then explains the circum-
stances in which the London convention
of 1884 was negotiated. I'm the year
1885," he says, "a deputation was sent
to London with view to obtain the aboli-
ton Of the suzerainty. This deputatior'
negotiated new convention in 1884 from
which the word 'suzerainty' and the stipu-
lations in regard thereto were removed.

People in Rock Island who during

warm numbers had reason to think
that perhaps they might not be so
many last evening when the ominous

denly dark. The wind blew furiously.
and an avalanche of dust swept
through the streets. Merchants has
tily closed their places of business,
and beat retreats for home. But the
worst of the storm was shortlived. 1t
was not cyclonic nor electrical in
any form. just as the clouds seemed
to be lowering down over the Missis-
sippi valley they were suddenly rent
and as they separated delightful
downpour of rain fell. 1t was Just
