A good story is told in connection
with the last Ascot meeting. An Amer.
lean, who was used to going into racing
booths in his own country, ordering
luncheon and paying 81, found himself
hungry at the royal meeting, so he
walked into the first tent handy and
told the attendant to give him some
thing to eat. The man put a sumptuoue
luncheon before him, to which, as well
as the champagne. the visitor did ample
justice He then handed the attendant
shillings, received his thanks and was
bowed out of the tent, inwardly con-
graduating himself on the moderateness
Of the charge. An English friend whom
he met outside said:

with Lord H.

MAN.

London, June 12.-When the secretary
O1 state for the colonies, Mr. Joseph
chamberlain, in the house of commons
ON thursday, summed up the result of
the Bloemfontein conference by declar-
ing new situation has been created"
he used a pregnant phrase open appar-
emily to variety of interpretations, but
in reality only open to one. The politi-
cians who have closely followed the af-
fairs Of the Transvaal and Mr.. Chamber
lain's attitude with respect to them are
fully satisfied the colonial secretary
plainly meant to declare that by means
of these open negotiations, in which the
British high commissioner, Sir Alfred
Miner, had exhausted every diplomatic
E'sonrce to effect a reasonable settlement
Of the matters in dispute, it had been
proved finally that President Kruger was
irreroneilable and that all hope of an
arrangement by Il suggestion or diplo-
matte pressure was henccforth vain.
The British are especially exasperated,
because they feel they have been trihed
with, and the question on everybody's
lips is, what neXt?"
Chamberlain Is Firm.
Mr.. CHAM erluin is not the man to be
diverted from his course. He has public
ly and deliberately espoused the cause of
the uitlandcrs, and his next step will be
demand. Then there will be energetic
action to support the demand. 1t may be
regarded as certain that this contingency
has been fully forescen for months past.
Fresh troops and large quantities of mu-
nitions of war have gone to South Africa
by every steamer. The troops have been
described as relefs, but those they We're
supposed to relieve have remained in
South Africa. a steamer which sailed in
May took 500 of these reliets, and pas
sengcrs who had previously secured ac-
commodntion had to yield their places to
the officers and men. In Natal, notably
ut Lndysmith. large force has been as
sembled, fully equipped and ready to
march ut Il moments notice. Hundreds
Of mules from South Africa and Cyprus
are on the spot, the storchouses are full
of forage. and the magazines are packed
with ammunition.
1t is estimated the Transvaul could
muster II fighting force of from 10000 to
$4,000 mon, while the British troops
there already number 1000 men, com
manded by the veteran Major General
Sir William Francis Butler. who has
been in command Of the troops in South

He served in Canada in 1870, in Ashanti

than a half dozen of the anti-Gobel DEM
ocrats will vote for the candidates of the
anti-Go5el and republican coalition If a
slate is put up by that side. Several demo-
Gratis who are known to DO ant-Goebel have
announced their intention to go into tho
democratic caucus, since the contests are
not to come before that body for action.

claim that he will receive The votes of all
but two or three democrats of all kinds,
and that his election is therefore certain. .

fees in New York.
Proposed antitrust legislation and the
rapid spread of the anttItrust spirit is
mainly responsible for this move toward
Canada.
1.-THE idea is probably the bUoadest and
boldest ever conceived by the corporation
interests. 1t is stated that they have long
since despaired of obtaining favorable
treatment through the enactment of fed
eral laws for the reason that 1t would be
necessary to amend the constitution of the
United States before this could be Done
II they go to Canada, however, and organ
fze themselves under a British law, fhey
will enjoy what is practically national eA-
istence under color of British charters.
1.-THE trust people declare that they are
now harrassed and subjected to petty an
noyances in various states. They assert
that by obtaining national charters from
the Canadian government they would free
themselves from state interference and
could be sued in this country only through
the United States courts
