other hours. and in this way it Is easy

Pauncefote and Andrew W. White have
played a clever game on M. De Staal
and then declared that the idea of arbi-
tration of such sweeping nature as
Great Britain proposed was untenable
and out OF the question so far as Ger
many was concerned, as it would open
the door to constant foreign interfer-
ence in the internal affairs of notions.
The paper also doubts the correctness
OF the versions making NJ De Staal
accept the British proposition, as it
considers it would be going too far
beyond the Cars instructions. 1t also
reminds Russia of her Polish and Fin
land and Great Britain of her Irish
questions and expresses the belief that
neither power is willing to
ACCEPT IN PRINCIPLE
such courts as Sir Julian Pauncefote
has outlined, which, it is claimed,
would make weak masters strong and
reverse the natural order of things.
This article has attracted much at
tention, as it is believed it reflects the
opinions of the government.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press learns from an excellent source
that the interview this week between
DR.. w. j. Leyds, the minister of the
Transvaal here, and Baron Won Bue-
low, the minister of foreign affairs,
was not of very cordial nature. The
foreign minister emphatically told the
Transvaal representative that the wis
est and best course for the Beer gov
eminent was to make peace with Great
Britain and above all to speedily grant
reforms. This did not leave doubt
in Dr. Leyds' mind that Germany also
wishes to see the reforms introduced.
At the annual meeting of the colonial
society this week, the Samoan question
was discussed animatedly, and it was
resolved that the deep national indig-
nation aroused by the occurrences at
Apia can only be oblterated by the
full maintenance of our treaty rights
there"
THIS IS SIGNIFICANT
from the fact that Duke John Albrecht,
of Mecklenburg, an intimate eonfiden-
tial friend of the Emperor, presided.
There have been several conferences
this week between Secretary Jackson
of the United States embassy and I'm
der Secretary Beethoven, of tie foreign
office. anent the proposed commercial
treaty. The matter is making little
progress, as Germany still insists on
claiming under the most favored ma

granting any equivalents. The United

prepared to admit their claim
