PROSPECTS OF PEACE.
May Not be a War Over the Trans
vaal Dispute.

CAPE TOWN, Aug. 30.-It is said in
Afrikander circles that in spite of per-
sistent war rumors there are good
prospects of peace. 1t is believed that
several strongly -worded communica-
tions have been addressed to President
Kruger of the Transvaal Republic,
urging the desirability of using every
effort to obtain peaceful solution of
the trouble
Premier William P. Schreiner of the
Cape Colony has telegraphed to Pres
ident Steyn of the Orange Free State,
earnestly expressing the hope that
peace will be preserved, and declaring
his confidence that he president
Steym would do his utmost to this end.
PRETORIA, Aug. 30.-The British di-
plomatic agent here, Conyngham
Greene, has handed to the Secretary of
State, T. w. Seitz, the reply of the
British Secretary of State for the Col
onies, Joseph Chamberlain, to the
TranSvaal alternative proposals to
joint commission suggested by Great
Britain to inquire into the effect which
the proposed franchise reform measure
will have on the Uitlanders.
Mr.. Greene also had a long confer
ence with State officials. The nature
of the conference was not disclosed,
but was subject to the consideration
of the Executive this afternoon. 1t
is understood that another conference
may occur at Cape Town. The result is

I'VE favor an appropriation for the

I'VE deplore the outrageous exercise
of lynch law in this and other States,
especially against our colored citizens,
and we recommend the adoption of
prompt and efficient measures to sup
press such unwarranted acts of vio-
lence.
I'VE recommend a constitutional
amendment providing for the election
of President, Vice President and United
States Senators by direct vote of the
people.
Toward securing these and kindred
blessings, we earnestly invite the CO.

The vote on the adoption of the ma
jority report on credentials was 431
yeas and BOB noes. The Cuyahoga. del
egation was still prohibited from vot-
ing on this ballot. With the 56 Cuya-
hoga votes added to the 437, the Nc

combined opposition. and took every
thing without further contest
The report of the Committee on Per-

night was amended so as to make per-
manent the temporary organization.
This continued Hon. Thomas J. Cogan
Secretary, as we'll as Judge Mooney as
Chairman, and left the anti-McLean
member without representation. The
only concession that had been made in
committee last night was on permanent
organization, but after the Kilbourne
men had claimed a victory that report
was not adopted. and the temporary
organization was continued
The Committee on Plan of OrganiZa-
ton reported in favor of referring the
new constitution to the State Executive
Committee, with full power to adopt.

The names of ex-Mayor James A. Rice
of Canton and Hon. Charles N Haskell

General A. J. Warner presented the
name of Colonel James Kilbourne of
Columbus in a most vigorous speech,
and it was seconded equally vigorously
by Judge A. w. Patrick.
When DR.. James A. Norton. member
of Congress for the Tiffin District, rose
to present the name of John r. Nc

abuses in the preceding speech Of
General Warner
DR.. Norton's speech was followed by
another demonstration, and then the
names of General Isaac r. Sherwood of
Toledo and James r. Seward of Mans

YOKOHAMA, Aug. 1S (via Victoria,
-. G., Aug. 3O.-Yokohama saw on the
night of the 18th the greatest fire in its
history. A densely populated square
mile of the native town was burned,
with loss of sixteen lives, and from
flye to six millions of property.
Globe-trotters will regret to hear that
the famous theater street is destroyed
from end to end. AS a system Of fire
insurance has not yet gained much
mold in Japan, on account of the in
f1ammable nature of the houses, the
disaster falls heavily upon the home
less people. Some of them, strongly
imbued with Western notions of lynch
law, formed a mob and proceeded to
attack the owner of the house in which
the fire originated, and the man has
died Of his wounds.
Apart from demonstrations, the ca
Iamity has been taken with the utmost
cheerfulness. Large shelter subscrip-
tions, amounting in two daysAto over
10000 yen, has flowed in, rebuilding
was actively progressing amid the en-
bers the day following the fire, and in a
week or two little or no trace of the
disaster will be seen.
There is still much speculation over
the new relations between Japan, Chi
ma and Russia. The most probable
outcome, it is thought, will be an ac-
cess Of cordiality between the first two
nations, similar to that which exists
between the Anglo-Saxon people.
There has been nothing of late to in
dicate that treaty revision has wrought
the slightest change in the relations of
foreigners to the Japanese Government
and people. Everything flows as
smoothly and harmoniously as under
the old regime.
The judgment in the Miller murder
trial is to be given tomorrow No ex-
ception has been taken by foreigners
TO the absolute fairness of procedure
and rulings and much of the talk hith-
erto entertained on this score has been
allayed.
The passage of the returning troops
through this city is regarded with con-
stantly increasing interest by Ameri-
cans, not only because every time a
regiment lands it puts the Yankees in
the majority, but also because the rec
ord of the soldiers for good behavior
remains as yet unbroken and is thus
constantly adding to the pride of their
countrymen here residing. Conversation
with the men is absorbingly interest
ing, as furnishing the only accurate
intelligence of the condition of affairs
in the Philippines.
One theory upon which all seem to
be agreed is that commercial consider
ations will have far moreA-infiuence in
bringing about a speedy peace than
either bullets or diplomacy. The nat
ives in Manila are rapidly growing rich
through the lavish expenditures of the
Americans Tidings of this FL Dorado
and suggestions that many another
such may be opened up by the advent
of Americans are gradually getting into
the country and ears of the insurgents
with the effect of creating in them an
intense desire for peace and its har-
vests of American gold. Many Of the
most intelligent of the returning vOlun-
teers speak of this feature as the most
hopeful in the whole situation.

order to facilitate range finding. These
are the conclusions I reached in 1891,
and l chronicled them in a report made
at the time
When the prisoner was reseated Ma
Jor Carriere announced that he had re-
ceived letter from General Cnamoln,
informing him that, by oroer of the
Minister of War, the Third Artillery
Department had prepared a dossier Of
the documents the defense requested,
and that those documents could be
submitted to the Court by the secret
dossier. The Major. therefore, asked
the Court to sit in secret or behind
closed doors.
M. Demange asked that Majors Hart
mann and Ducros be allowed to attend
when General Deloye communicated
the documents
After the Court had deliberated in
private Colonel Jouaust announced that
1T would sit in secret tomorrow, in
order to consider the dossier, and that
Majors Hartmann and Ducros were
authorized to attend

Kilbourne 227, rest scattering.
The nomination of John r. Mclean
was made unanimous.
There was such a demonstration after
the nomination of Mclean was known
to have been secured that the Secretary
could not announce the vote except
1929 for Mclean and 227 for Kill
bourne.
In the midst of the yelling a motion
prevailed, while the Kilbourne men
were yelling for verification of the
vote by counties.
The convention then took a recess un-
til p m.
The first ballot complete is as follows:
Rice 291a. Kilbourne 227, Haskell 80,
Mclean 4021a Sherwood u, Seward
%, Lentz 6.
On reassembling every possible effort
was made to nominate Kilbourne for
Lieutenant Governor, but after a dozen
close friends had withdrawn his name
and declared that Colonel Kilbourne
would decline, this effort was aban-
doned
During this part of the performance
the committee appeared escorting the
nominee for Governor and other candi-
dates for the different places Mclean
was given a rousing ovation. He
thanked the convention, and said he
would make as hard a fight for election
as possible.
Colonel Kilbourne was most enthu-
siastically received, and addressed the
convention at length, thanking his
friends for their loyal support, and ask
ing them to bow to the we'll of the ma
jority. He eulogized the platform, and
held that principles were more i'm
portant than personal preferences.
The names of Curtis Harrison of
Athens, John L. Beatty of Steuben-
vile and A. w. Patrick of New Phila-
delphia We're presented for Lieutenant
Governor, the first ballot resulting:
Harrison 1872, Beatty 169, Patrick 4S9:
others scattered, including for Lewis
q. Bernard of Cincinnati The nomi-
nation of Patrick was made unanimous.
Judge Patrick was delegate to the
National Convention at Chicago when
Bryan was nominated. Mclean was
then one of the delegates at large and
Chairman of the Ohio delegation Judge
Patrick at that time presented the
name of Mclean for President. At the
convention to-day Judge Patrick sec
onded the nomination of Kilbourne.
