CHARGE IF BAD FAITH
It Is indignantly Denied by
England.
MAY CALL PARLIAMENT
Asserted That the Cape Colony Will
Declare for the Transvaal at the
Last Moment-No Active
Steps Taken

London, Sept. 23.-The government. II
is understood, cabled Sir Alfred Miner.
British high commissioner for South
Africa, yesterday (Friday) a message
in accordance with the councils decis-
ion as outlined in the Pail Mall Gazette
and already cabled by the associated
press. 1t is said that the message also
protests strongly against the charge of
bad faith on the part of Conyngham
Greene. In the meantime no active
steps will be taken to send an army
corps to South Africa, but preparations
OF a general kind will continue quietly
for the dispatch of large army under
General Sir Redvers Butler should
President Kruger decline to avail him
self of the further opportunity now
given for a compromise
The Standard says 1t believes the gov
ernment has decided to convene parlia-
ment next month. The johannesburg
correspondent of the Morning Post
says:
TT is asserted that an understanding
exists in Pretoria that the Cape Colony
government will at the last moment de-
clare for the Transvaal."
1t is reported fresh arrests of Jour-
nalists and outlander leaders are i'm

though 1t were set forth in the consti-
tuition itself, for by the constitution
il is expressly provided that the con-
stltution alone shall be the supreme
law of the land, but that the constitu-
ton and the law enacted in pursuance
of the constitution and all treaties
made or to be made not under the con-
stitution but under the authority of
the United States shall be the su
preme law of the land
I'm other words, a treaty with for
eign power is, as to all matters which
it appropriately deals, an instrument
of equal dignity with the constitution,
made so by the constitution itself. The
whole subject is therefore entrusted TO
the American congress to be dealt with
as it sees fit and the congress can be
safely trusted to settle it SO as to
fully protect American interests. both
at home and abroad. And not only
can congress, the direct representative
of the people, be trusted to do justice
to ourselves. but also to the Filipinos.
An unhappy war is now in progress.
1t Is costing us many lives and many
millions, but President Mckinley has
announces that he has no purpose in
prosecuting it except to restore order
and prepare the way for the establish
ment in due time of such civil govern
ments as congress may provide. When
congress convenes all can be heard,
and ! have no doubt but that wise
and just results will be reached In
the meantime, so long as the war con-
tinues there can be but two sides to
it, and one is the American side.
Whire our flag and our soldiers are
there must stand the whole American
people. When the end of the strife
comes, if not sooner, 1t will be mani
fest that our purposes are altogether
beneficent. We do not want to oppress
anybody or deprive anybody of self
government who is capable of it. On
the contrary, to the fullest extent con-
sistent with the maintenance Of law
and order and the discharge of our in
ternational obligations and as rapidly
as possible, the Tagalos and Vicollos,
the Viscayas, the Moros, the Negros
and all the peoples and tribes of that
archipelago will be advanced in the
enjoyment of freedom. liberty, inde-
pendence and self-government under
the protection of the American flag"

The Grand Army viii Procure New
Corner Stone.


Chicago, Sept. PA plan which it is
believed will settle the difficulties over
the laying of the corner stone of the
new Chicago postoffice was presented
to-day in the shape Of an offer from
Judge Tuthill representing the local
G. A. r. to secure a new stone cut by
union labor.
Judge Tuthill declared to the labor
leaders that the old soldiers would de-
fray the cost of getting new stone and
would use its influence in settling ex-
isting difficulties between Contractor
Pierce and the trades union men. This
proposition was received favorably by
the majority of the labor men, a minor
ity remaining n-committal, prefer
ring to hold their voice until the meet
ing, which will be held tonight.
At this conference of the labor peo-
pie. the question of calling a general
strike on the postoffice in sympathy
with the masons who struck recently,
refusing to lay brick for the foundation
of the non-union corner stone or ac-
cepting the offer of the local G. A. r.
will be discussed.

mony and for the fall festival are being

Pretoria, Sept. GA green book has
been issued containing the report of
state Attorney Smuts to the govern
ment on the pour parle between him.
self and the British diplomatic agent
Conyngham Greene, leading to the con-
ditional five years franchise proposal
Mr. Smuts asserts that the proposal
was the result of a private discussion
and an arrangement that both govern
ments had informally decided about
the offer and its acceptance before the
offer should be formally submitted. He
also contends that the exact draft of
the offer was wired to the British high
commissioner, Sir Alfred Milner, and
that the imperial government sent q
dispatch to Mr.. Greene, which the lat
ter interpreted as an acceptance of the
offer.
| Mr. SHUTS says that had the Trans
vaal known that any difficulty would
be made about suzerainty, his govern
ment would never have made the pro-
posal, but would have probably imme-
diately have accepted the invitation to
| a joint commission of inquiry regard

easily settle itself, and he shows that
in the telegram to Sir Alfred Miner no
mention was made of this subject
The government denies that State At

| tiation will be regarded as an unfriend-
ly act. F. w. Reits, the state secretary,
