ISOLATED Press.

The proposed bicycle trust. which was to
have been capitalized at sS0,o0o0O0. went to

had withdrawn their support. Mr.. Smith
had no information further than the above.
An Associated Press dispatch last night,

proceedings. A. G. Spauding is said to have
put s275,0O0 into the transaction thus far.

number was finally cut down to forty-three,
which controlled about 50 per cent. of the

the administration undoubtedly sympa-
thizes with Great Britain In its endeavor to

that Americans in business in the South
African republic are restricted as are the
British and other uitlanders. This informa-
ton is not a protest from Americans hut

under instructions. are closely following the
negotiations between the British and Boer
governments. The report that Rear Admi-
raj Howison, who went to Pretoria from
Delagoa bay and will join his flagship. the

tions to make diplomatic representations to
the Boer government in the interests OF
Americans is declared untrue at both the

THE END OF KRUGER.

If President Kruger has consented
that his Transvaal lamb shall lie down
with the British lion, the ultimate and
not distant result must be that which
accords with the teachings of na.ural
history and not with millennial proph-
ecy. The lamb Will soon rest inside
the lion, and there will be nothing
more to be said on the subject.
The cable reports of concessions re-
garding the franchise in respect to
''outlanders,' if correct in their de-
tails, indicate that the British have
gained practically all for which Mr.
Chamberlain has been contending. The
seven years retrospective and pros
pectiVe franchise will in a COMPARE
lively short time place the political
control of the Transvaal republic in
the hands of the commercial and. in
duStrial invaders. The burghers, the
bucolic Beers, will have to retire be-
fore the force of superior numbers, not
on the battle field, where they could
at least make heroic resistance, but at
the polls and in the legislative assem-
blies where wars are won by the counc
of votes and not by force of arms.
And with the overthrow of Dutch
control Will pass that sturdy figure
Dom Paul from the scene of action
The hustling. digging, trading. ex-
plotting foreigners will crowd him out
and put one of their own kind in his
place. And when the change is com
pleted, how long Will II be before the
Transvaal ceases TO exist as a re-
public?

The tendency toward uniformity and
cooperation N all matters of interna-

The latest suggestion in this direc-

papers nothing of importance
that occurs in the outside world
is overlooked. 1t is u com;bina-

two papers are the only ones III

when it is news these two papers
will supply it.
