LONDON. June Tt 10 Officially stated that
Sir Alfred Miner has given to the Cape news

OF his conference with President KrrRor. and
that the negotiations were without result.
It Is reported that President Kruger agreed
to submit to the Nolksraad the question OF
granting the franchise to the Uitlanders II the
English would submit to arbitration the other
differences.
Lord sebornc, Parliamentary Secretary to

seen the official abstract OF tho conference he
says. and the only news received at the Colonial
once is that the conference has been abortive.
The Eren,no Ne'rs says that tho conference
was broken OIL abruptly and was an utter fall

believed that the controversies would be salts
factorily solved. because all the Govern
ment asked or desired was tho elementary

trymen in the Transvaal, rights which
Justice demanded and policy required
and which would be. he thought. to the first
interest OF the republic to grant. 1t was Great
Britain's duty To ace that those rights were not
tramrled recklcssly in the dust
No statesman or individual In Great Britain
desired that any inroad be made on the inde-
pendence OF the republic. He believed that
settlement could be reached which would
rightly preserve the independence ofthe Trans
vaal consistently with justice to the British
residents. who were giving 80 much OF their
wealth to the republic. Tho opinion OF tho
country must soon be declared on the subject.
and he believed that that opinion would be
unanimously the same rs he had stated.
Dir Charles Dixie. W. T.. says he Is not sur
prised at the result. He blames the Govern
ment for entering the conference without hav-
ing thoroughly considered the issues at stake.
The abortive results. he says. will not improve
