OMAHA. Neb., Sept 14.-In his address to
the First Nebraska Regiment, at Lincoln,
to-day, Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn read
a message from President Mckinley. pre-
facing it as follows:
1T is with deep regrets that j have TO
announce to you that affairs of state pre-
clude President Mckinley from being pres
ent with us on this occasion. To the volun-
teers of Nebraska he sends by me his greet
ings and congratulations In these words:
Pressure of public business prevents me
from accepting the very cordial invitation
extended to participate in the welcome to
be accorded the First Nebraska Volunteers.
1t Is a source of great regret to me that L
shall be unable to be present, and while 1
cannot give myself that pleasure / am glad
to have this opportunity to express to the
officers and men of the regiment my SIN
cere greetings and congratulations. The Ne
braska volunteers were among the first to
respond to the call If the executive. How
conspicuously they have realized every pa
triotic expectation Is known to their State
and country. With the other splendid regi-
ments of volunteers and regulars they rem
dered devoted and accomplishing service;
for months they refused to avail themselves
of the privilege Of muster out; they sus-
tanned and strengthened the government;
they stood by the flag and kept it stainless.
"'At this time of Homecoming and re-
union 1t is source of deep qualification
that the health of the regiment is good, its
morale of the best and that the losses sus-
tanned have been no greater, although rela-
lively larger than in most of those serving
in the Philippines.
"'Our thoughts go out to the absent ones
who by sickness death. have made de-
voted sacrifice in the Nations service. The
families of these brave men have our loving
sympathy and the heroism of their deeds
will grow brighter with each passing year.
II send every good wish that the well
come given to the First Nebraska may be
most generous and patriotic

THE TRANsvAAL's REPLY.
Forecast Received mt the British Col
OniaI ONCE.

LONDON, Sept IA forecast of the
draft of the TransvaaPs reply to the last
note of the British secretary of state for
the colonies. Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, now
under discussion by the Volksraad has been
received by Mr.. Chamberlain. but its nature
is not yet known. At the Colonial Office
reporter of the Associated Press was in
formed that nothing will be given out for
the present. 1t was regarded as significant
however, that the nature of the Boer reply
was communicated to the commander-in-
chief. Field Marshal Lord wolseley, who
Immediately summoned Sir George Stewart
White, ". c.. former quartermaster general
the prospective commander Of the British
forces in Natal.
South African advices continue most con-
flicting regarding the tenor of President
Kruger's answer. The Morning Post, in a
second edition, prints a special dispatch
from Pieterarmitzburg, capital of Natal.
saying the reply is "truculent. loquacious
and blasphemous."
The Manchester Guardians correspondent
at Cape Town telegraphs saying the out
look is Of the gloomiest character The
Cape Town papers themselves take more
hopeful view OF the situation. basing their
belief on the probable acceptance by Presi-
dent Kruger of the franchise measures sug-
gested in Mr.. Chamberlain's latest dispatch.
But even they admit IT is impossible to
learn or foreshadow President Krugers at
titude toward the suzerainty OF Great Brit
ain. which. after all. is still the main issue.
While the staff of the Foreign Office will
maintain continuous communication to-
night with Mr.. Chamberlain at Birming-
ham, 1t Is not believed now that the result
of the debate In the Volksraad will be re-
ceived before Friday.
Dispatches from Cape Town, dated mid
night. attach great Importance to an article
In the Onsland. the organ OF the Afrikander
Bupd. which urges the Transvaal govern
ment to renew its offer regarding a con-
ference. declaring that there is no reason
why the Transvaal should not accept con-
ference and calling attention TO the fact
that the word ''suzerainty' is not mentioned
by Mr.. Chamberlain. and that, therefore.
there is nothing to indicate an obligation on
the part OF either government to abandon
Its views on the subject. This article Is
understood to be the outcome OF an impor-
tant Afrikander caucus held to discuss the
