Mr.. Montague White, consul general
for the South African republic in Lon
don, told the Associated press yester-
day morning that he telegraphed Pres
ident Kruger Monday urging him to
make personal appeal to Lord Sails
bury, dwelling upon the niquity Of
the war and proposing scheme as a
basis of further negotiations. He said
he was momentarily expecting to hear
that the Transvaal government was
sending an ultimatum to Great Britain,
declaring the sending of troops casus
belli, in which event he would be COM
PEELED to close his offices. Mr.. White
added curious statement TO the effect
that a representative Of one of the
largest capitalists of the Rand had
called upon him yesterday morning
and asserted that 1t was known in cap
italist circles that Lord Salisbury had
determined there should not be war
and had instructed the secretary of
state for the colonies, Mr.. Chamber
lain, to wire to South Africa further
assurances with regard to the British
desire to respect the complete indie

Trouble Brewing on Lynn Canal.

The Cottage City which arrived on Wednesday brought news of troub e that is being experienced by American Customs officers ut Skagway. The fol- of Juneau:
 "R. Hoyt, who has for some time been acting as special convoy with goods bonded through American terri tory. proceeded last Monday with one other man, also acting ia the capacity of convoy, to Log Cabin where the cu,- toms house is established. It has been customary to get the bond discharged at this customs house. and take re- cei pt for the goods. Upon this Occas- ion, however, both Hoyt and his fclloE officer were arrested by the mounted police. who claimed th:t no American custom officers could cross the bOund- ary. These men were detained at Log Cabin for two days and reached Skag- way on Friday evening. This is an entirely new departure and an arbitrary manner of deciding the in- tcrnational boundary question.
 Deputy Collector \ ndrews of Ska..- way, when the matter Was called to lis attention, at once issued orders that DO Canadian goods shonld go through iii bond, because he had no way of obtain ing d receipt and cancellation of bond. A great many tons of bonded goods are consequently rctaiucd in the warehons- es at Skagway.
 Much indignation is expressed in SkagWay on account of this incident Coming so soon after the passing of the exclusion act it is particularly distaste- tul to the people.
 If retaliation is to be the order of the day there is no knowing where it will lead.
