After Secretary Roots return from

with the commissioner of navigation,
Mr.. Chamberlain, and also decided to
take mp the matter Of the Tartar with
the state department with view OF
having the ship cleared at Hong Kong.
A dispatch was sent to Colonel Metcalf.

or Bourke Cochran to the President
on TransvaaI Affairs.
NEW YORK. Sept. Rex Congress-
man W, Bourke Cochran has written an
open letter to President Mckinley
about the Transvaal. The letter, In part,
is as follows:
at can hardly be questioned that a
prefer OF friendly mediation by you
would suffice to delay, II not prevent,
the threatened invasion Of the Trans
Yaal.
"a recourse to arms which might re-
suit in kindling n fearfully destructive
conflagration throughout chrIstendom
on such questions as those ut issue be-
tween Great Britain and the Boer re-
public would be an injury to civilized
society, which all the forces Of civilIZa-
ton should combine to resist.
"a friendly but urgent tender Of your
good offices would undoubtedly evoke
a full and complete statement OF the
grounds on which the peace and integ-
rity Of the Transvaal are threatened.
Such a statement would be a powerful
obstacle to hostIllties, for It would en-
able tie civilized world to form q judy
ment on the merits OF the controversy,
and in all probability that Judgment
would impose itself on both dtsputants.
Public opinion Is force which in these
days no nation can dlsregard."
