GLAD TO RETURN,
Mr.. Dent, the New Register of Wills,
Calls on the President.

Mr.. Dent, the New Register of Wills,
Calls on the President.
Mr.. Louis A. Dent who has just been
appointed register of wills to succeed J.
Nota McGill called at the White House
this morning. Mr.. Dent has for the last
two years been United States consul at
Kingston, Jamaica. The duties of that Of
flee he found were pleasant, but he had
for some time expressed a desire to return
to the United States. This desire was graf
if1ed when this new appointment came to
him.
Kingston is good place to live in," said
Mr. Dent to representative of The Star
this morning. ''In climate it could hardly
be excelled. There is a very charming
circle of EngliSh-Speaking people, officials
and Others which makes the society of the
city very agreeable l had been there as
consul during the Harrison administration
and so feel well acquainted with the island
and it's people.
Just now the most interesting thing per-
tanning to its relations with the United
States is the reciprocity treaty, which has
been negotiated, but not yet made public.
It's terms will be definitely known as soon
as the Senate acts or the legislative coun-
Gil of Jamaica. Some reports as to its con-
tents have been printed in Jamaica, but
they have usually come from English
sources. The people are feverishly inter-
ested to know certainly what trade privi-
leges they are to have with the United
States. The four articles which they ex-
port to us principally are bananas, oranges,
cocoanutS and sugar. The growth of the
banana trade has been marvellous"
Mr.. Dent has no idea who will be select
ed as his successor at Jamaica. The Of
flee to which he has been appointed Is one
having no definite term, but as a courtesy
four years has been regarded as the tenure
of an appointment. His nomination will
have to go to the Senate for confirmation.

PRESIDENT kRUGER's REMARKS.
Made at the Adjournment of the
Raads Yesterday.

PRETORIA. October IA more extended
account of the speech Of President Kruger
at the adjournment of the raads yesterday
Is now obtainable According to trust
worthy reports he said:
Everything points to war, because the
people of the Transvaal wish to govern
themselves. Although thousands may come
to attack US, we have nothing to fear, for
the Lord is the final arbiter, and He will
decide.
Bullets came by thousands at the time
of the Jameson raid, but the burghers were
untouched Over a hundred were killed on
the other side, showing that the Lord di-
rected our bullets. The Lord rules the
world
Mr. j. NJ A Wolmarans, one of the two
non-offcal members of the executive coun-
ell. said he hoped that when the raads re-
assembled they would be without conven-
ton and would be a free people. God he
declared. had often used England to bring
the buTghers back to the faith of their fore
fathers. In the course of his speech he ex-
claimed
England has refused everything, even

to pay his respects to Secretary Hay en-
route to his home in Chicago. He is on
leave Of absence from his post and has
several matters of business to discharge
while in the United States. Mr.. Bryan has
been doing effective work in Brazil in the
direction of enlargirg the trade opportuni-
ties of Americans. He has already under
preparation a trade treaty which is ex-
pected to be Of the greatest mutual benefit
to the United States and Brazil. Naturally
after their experience with their last reci-
procity agreement with the United States
the BrazilianS are not enthusiastic advo-
Gates OF another treaty on the same lines,
so it is to Mr.. Bryan's credit that he has
been able to accomplish something In the
direction Of trade extension at this time.
The minister says that the present ad-
ministration Of Brazil has only the most
cordial regard for the United States. He
declares that the recent ebulltion of ill
feeling caused by the appearance of the
q. S. S. Wilmington in the Amazon was
much exaggerated in Importance, and that
1t was really chargeable entirely to resi-
dent Europeans, who are bitter trade rivals
of Americans and sought thus to prejudice
our relations with Brazil.
Mr.. Bryan left Washington for Chicago
this afternoon.

THE PHILIPPINE COMMISSION.
It's First Meeting Here to be Held
Early Next Month.

Early Next Month.
President Schurman of the Philippine
commission called at the State Department
today and had conference with Secretary
Hay touching the approaching meeting of
the commission in Washington. AS the
Secretary is leaving Washington to be alb
sent nearly three weeks, he deemed 1t well
to be fully informed as to the situation
before his departure. President Schurman
said that the commission would hold its
first meeting in this city early in Novem-
ber. Admiral Dewey Is here; Col. DENLY
and Prof Worcester are now nearing San
Francisco on the Pacific steamer, and Mr.
Macarthur, the secretary of the commits
sion, sails today from Yokohama, bringing
with him all the records of the commits
sion. The clerical force Of the commission
remains for the present at Manila, and this
may be significant of an ultimate purpose
to have the commission return to the Phil
ippines next year, before the close of the
approaching dry season. However, nothing
can be done toward the compilation of re-
port Of what has been already accomplish
ed until the secretary arrives, and that
fact fixed the arrangement for the first
meeting of the commission in this country
In November. President Schurman return
ed to Ithaca, N. Y, today.

ACQUISITION OF GOLD.
London Hears That the TransyaaI
Authorities Are Supplied

LONDON, October 4.-The most sensa-
tional news from South Africa this morn
Ing Is a reiteration Of yesterdays report
of the acquisition by the Transvaal au-
thorities of f500OOO in gold, which was on
the way to Cape Town from Johannesburg.
The confirmation of the story comes from
two sources.
The Cape Argus asserts that the Beers
made the seizure at Vereeniging the
amount being the weeks shipment of gold
on the way from the Rand to Cape Town,
and forwarded the treasure to Pretoria.
The report is also confirmed by a cable
gram received today by a mining company
in London from their representative, which
is to the effect that the train upon which
he was travelling from Johannesburg to
Cape Town was held up and looted by
Beers, who secured 100000 in gold, the
amount being considerably less than the
original estimate.
Situation Strained as Ever.
There is nothing very tangible in today S
war news, but the situation remains as
strained as ever unless hope may be de-
rived from the apparent fact that the forces
on the frontier are regarded by both sides
as wholly defensive for the present and
from the statement that Mr. j. H. Hof-
HltyF, tHt AlTihdNucr ittctI III cape Soi-
ony, is still prepared to endeavor to Sc
cure the adhesion of the Transvaal govern
ment to the "irreducible minimum pro
