REAL QUESTION AT ISSUE.
1t Is Great Britain's Control of the
South African Republic.

New York. Sept ia dispatch to the
herald from London says: 1t is grow
ing more evident every day that the
real issue in the Anglo-Boer disnute
IS not as to the franchise or the re-
dress of UitIander grievances, general
~, but England's suzerainty, and that
II war comes. it viii be over this cues
ton. qoeS'
Whether with or without reason from
his point of view, Mr.. Kruger has lone-
had the suspicion of fear that Mr.
Cnamberlain's aim is not simply the
REDRESS OF the grievances of which he
complained, but that he has ulterior.
designs on the independence of the
Transvaal republic Consequently tbe
Boer president has sought to couple
with his proffered concessions a con-
d1tlon that England would either re-
nounce her claimed suzerainty or stip-
uiate not TO interfere hereafter in the
international affairs of the republic
Throughout the correspondence his
state secretary insisted that England
mad no suzerainty rights. and went so
1ar as to declare that from inherent
right the republic is a sovereign state. -
a contention which Mr.. Chamberlain
pronounced mot warranted either by
law or history, and wholly inadrnissa-
ble''
CAlSSS CIe sue OF the other reCedeS
from that stand, evidently other means
than diplomacy must be resorted to for
the settlement Of the issue. There is
not the slightest probability that Eng
land Will yield, since to renounce her
suzerainty rights would simply be to
surrender everything. If war comes,
1t will be on the part of the Beers a
struggle for independence, and on the
part of Great Britain war for supre-
macy in South Africa.
Considering Englands vastly supe
rior power, the final outcome could
never be in doubt, whatever might be
the initial results. The only question
would be as to its effects on the status
of the Transvaal republic. That Great
Britain would not stop with an en-
forcement of demands she has already
made. has been publicly declared by
Lord Salisbury, as well as by Mr..
Chamberlain.
Developing, as it might, into Brit
ish-Boer race war, the struggle could
hardly fail to prove dire catastrophe
to all South Africa

WILL FIGHT THE TRUSTS.
Organizations to Be Formed In All
Sections of the Country.

Chicago, Sept. 16.-Action looking to-
ward the formation of antitrust or
CARNATIONS in all sections of the coun-
try was taken at a meeting of dele
gates to the trust conference opposed
to the trusts at a meeting held at the
Sherman House tonight after the ad-
journment of the trust conference. The
meeting, which was largely attended,
effected q temporary organization, and
an executive committee was appointed
TO build up the organizations in all
parts of the country and to arrange for
an early antitrust convention. The or
ganiZation, which, it was announced, is
to be national in scope and non-parti-
san in character, is to be amalgamated
with the National Antitrust league.
The executive committee is as fol-
lows: NJ. l.. Lockwood, Pennsylvania,
chairman; William Prentiss, Illinois; a.
NJ. Todd Michigan; P. e. Dow, New
York; Dudley G.. Wooten, Texas; A P.
McQuirk, Iowa: w. 3. Fleming, Ken
lucky.
This committee was authorized to in
crease it's number by the addition of
governors of states and prominent anti
trust leaders of all political convictions
The organization was the result of
the adoption of a re- ommea d alton made
by a committee appointed for the ptr-
pose on Thursday. The plan of organ
ization embodied in the RECOMMENDATION
was as follows
Your committee recommends that an
executive committee be appointed and
be authorized to appoint one vice pres
ident from each state and territory and
one from each national organization
represented in this conference, as adj
ditional members of said committee:
that said committee proceed at once
to call national antitrust convention
for the organization of permanent ma
tional body and that the call for said
national organization shall include not
only members of the temporary organ
ization but all those in sympathy with
the movement"
THE purpose of the organization is
to bring new timber into the. present
National Anti Il ust le que" said Oh ir-
man Lockwood. I'VE propose to carry
out the work against trusts begun by
us at the conference. We will organ
lie in all sections of the county and
we hope to have a national convention
within a few months"
A meeting of the executive, commit
tee will be held here tomorrow and
plans for perfecting the organization
discussed.

MUST OBSERVE CHURCH RULES
CHANGE IN PLANS FOR CAUTA-
CUZENE-GRANT WEDDING.
Greek Ceremony Must Take Prece-
dence or the Prince Will Lose
Standing In Army.

Newport, R. l.. Sept. 16.-The plans
for the Cantacuzene-Grant wedding
have been changed. 1t was intended
that the Episcopal service should take
place in All Saints chapel on Monday,
Sept. %, followed by the Greek cere-
mony in private at Mrs. Palmer's villa.
The prince is a Greek Catholic, and
the marriage laws of his church, which
are very strict, do not recognize the
validity of the marriage of Russian
performed by clergyman outside of
that. faith.
he head of the Russian church in
the United States informed the prince
that the Russian ceremony must take
place first or not at all, and that re-
tusal to comply would place the prince
in a bad light in his own country and
might cause his public discipline or in
jure his standing in the army, where
all officers are supposed to live UP to
the laws of the Greek church.
The advice of the Greek bishop was
assented to by the prince, which COM
PEELED a change in the plans. The
Greek ceremony must come first.
Therefore, in private on Sunday even
ing, Sept. "a, the prince and Miss Jul
liza Dent Grant will be married by the
Rev Father Hotovitsky of New York,
assisted by two other Russian clergy
men OF New York. Honore Palmer,
cousin of the bride and son of Mr.. and
Mrs Potter Palmer, will act as best
man as proxy for Grand Duke Cyril.

BUY SUPPLIES HERE.
Great Britain Is Making a Raid On
the American Markets.

New York, Sept ia special to the
Journal and Advertiser from Washing
ton says the war department has been
approached by representatives of the
British government, who wanted to buy
at once 1000 mules for shipment to
South Africa for army uses. The de-
partment. however, had disposed of all
it's surplus stock. The Englishmen will
buy the mules in open market in the
south and ship them to South Africa
as fast as they can be obtained Great
Britain has also recently let several
large contracts for army wagons for
South Africa to the principal wagon
makers in this country
The war department has found Eng
land buying army equipment of almost
every kind in this country of late and
in several instances has had to wait for
the work being done for England to be
finished before work for this govern
ment could be undertaken. Both Great
Britain and the United States are anx-
ious to charter available vessels for
army transportation, and there has
sprung up keen rivalry between the two
countries on this score.
The army in Cuba is short of many
supplies, and every transport leaving
New York is loaded to its full capacity
without being able to meet the growing
demand for stores of all kinds. There
is only about one weeks supply OF for
age on hand in Cuba, and the CONNER
cial lines will have 10 be utilized to
carry forage and other supplies to the
garrisons there.
