not be held in Portland or Bangor but
Augusta The Commercial says of the
meeting at the West End hotel wednes s.
day; .ss
Bangor. Portland and Augusta all
made bids for the grange meeting. which
Is the most important state gathering OF
farmers and which brings into the town
where the convention sits several thous-
amos of dollars Bangor's bid was feeble.
Portland's was vigorous and the city
councilthere did what 1t could Ito make
the way easy for the plan.
"Portlsnd's long distance from the oen.
ter of the state. however, and the diff
Guilty and expense OF reaching that town
with comfort, lent negative weight to
Bangor's claim whicn partly made up
for the local apathy.
I'm the midst of the oontrov ersy An
gusta entered the field ana put in an invi.
tation for the convention to sit In that
town. This was accepted at the Portland
meeting on Wednesday night. The

KRUGER's CONCESSIONS.

Pretoria, Transvaal, July 6.--The
Volksraad sat in secret session today,
President Kruger and the negotiators
fromlthe Orange Free State being present.
1t is understood that an agreement was
reached TO grant the franchise immedi-
ately to all settlers prior TO 1890, and TO
other classes Of residents within seven
years. the naturalization clause to be
optional. These proposals will be debat.
cd in open session tomorrow.
Although Sir Alfred Miner on behalf
OF Great Britain demanded at the Bloem-
fontein conference that residence of five
years should be qualification for the
franchise, Ii is believed that the terms
said to have been agreed upon today in
the Volssraad might be acceptable to
the Outlanders II suitable guarantees
We're given for the execution OF the prom
ised reforms.
