BR1TAIN sTILE DELrBERATE
VIII Only Continue to Despatch Troops
 Quietly.

London, Sept. 23-The government it is understood, cabled Sir Alfred Mlner, British high commissioner for South Af- rica, yesterday afternoon (Friday) q message in accordance with the cabi- nets decision as outlined in the Pail Mall Gazette. This paper says the dis patch opens with an expression of re- gret at the unfavorable character of Secretary Reitz's last reply, and pro- the repudiation of the claim of the Transvaal to the status of sovereign state, once more pointing out British readiness to settle at once the nature of the proposed arbitration tribunal, provided the other British conditions are promptly and unreservedly accepted, concluding with the intimation that the imperial government is now engaged in drawing up it's own terms. and that the Transvaal may expect to hear from them very shortly.
 It is said that the message also pro- tests strongly against the accusation of bad faith on the part of Conyngham Greene. Tn the meantime no active steps will be taken to send an army corps to South Africa, but preparations of a general kind will continue kindly for the dispatch of a large army under General Sir Redvers Butler should Pres ident Kruger decline to avail himself of the further opportunity now given for a compromise. The Standard says 1t believes the government has decided to convene parliament next month.

CONDEMNED BY MAYOR OUNCE.
Action of Ray State Democrats in seIect-
 Ing NatioMnl DeIegntes.

Boston, Sept 22.-Hon. Josiah Quincy,
 fled with the leading men of that sec
 tion of the democratic party in Massa-
 chusetts which opposed the selection of delegates to the national democratic | convention at the state convention of | the party here yesterday, gave out a ! statement to-day. Mayor Quincy says: "The action of the convention in se- | lecting a full list of delegates to the | democratic national convention of next | year in advance even of the issue by the national committee of the call for such convention I regard as most irregular, improper and undemocratic proceeding. If I were the only democrat in Massa- chusetts opposed to this proceeding I
 would still desire go on record against it; the convention, however, clearly
 demonstrated that the sentiment in op
 position to the course which the state
 committee has succeeded in forcing up-
 on the party is widespread. The oppo-
 sition to the idea of depriving the dem-
 ocratic voters in the several congress
 sional districts of the time-honored
 right to select their own delegates was,
 at any rate, great enough to change very radically the slate which had been
 prepared for delegates to the national
 convention and to compel the accept ance, in order to carry through the pro- gramme at all, of the delegates who are known not to be the creatures of the present state body or it's leader.
 Unfortunately, the leadership of the clements which controlled yesterdays convention has reduced the democratic party of this state to a condition of po- litical indifference which makes it diff cult to obtain representative express sion of opinion. My opposition to the undemocratic action of the convention in respect to the choice of delegates will not affect my support of the state tick ct, and do not propose to be driven out of the democratic party by any one. With many of the declarations of the platform I am heartily in favor, and I would vote for any ticket that could be nominated to express my abhorrence of the miserable mess which the present administration has made of the whole Philippine question:
 After news had been received of the refusal of Hon. Walter L. Ramsdell of Lynn to accept the democratic nomina- tion of state auditor it was announced that Joseph J. Flynn of Lawrence, the nominee for state treasurer had with drawn. MT. Flynn, however, denies that he has taken such action as yet and says that he is on good terms with the state committee.

Says Trusts Are Better Than likeness
 RuiM nMd sOun. II ouaes.

Hamilton, O., Sept 22.-Senator J. B. Foraker to-day delivered an address here at the emancipation celebration o1 the Butler county fair grounds. Among the features of his address were his declarations for expansions and an ex- haustive argument on trusts. He said in part: We hear it said that the tariff is the mother of trusts and that the are the cause of all sorts of evils. We do have trusts and some of them are as bad as they are represented, but they are not the product of the tariff and if they were the tariff with it's at tendant prosperity and trusts is better than free trade and idleness, ruin, want, hunger, soup houses and rags.
 That the tariff is not responsible for trusts is shown by the fact that while they have free trade in England they also have more trusts in that country than in any other But we should dis Iingulsh. Not all combinations Of cap- ital and business are trusts; not all of them have illegitimate purposes and not all are attended with disadvantage eous consequences.

 In the light of these comparatively recent parades, the latter in honor of our gallant soldiers who served in the Philippines and who possibly heard some of Admiral Deweys guns, could not but feel that the Grand Army com- rades of New York, representative of the greatest state in the union, which sent more men than any other state to preserve the nation from ruin were as richly entitled to head the line of the Dewey day parade as were the comrades of Pennsylvania to lead a similar civic parade in honor of our Spanish-American war heroes and I lelt when l made the plea that the precedent set by the state of Pennsyl- Van1a in having the veterans lead the line, followed by President Mckinley and the governor of the state following was one that might be followed without any loss of dignity to those controlling the Dewey parade in New York.

New York, Sept 22.--Good judgment on the part of those in charge of the yacht Shamrock to-day saved hel from what might have been a most ser ious accident. After sailing in a good strong breeze over about five miles of the course off the New Jersey coast her
 crew found that the bobstay was stretching and in danger of carrying
 away, so Designer Fife ordered the sail
 taken off her, and she was lowed to her
 moorings in the Horseshoe bv the

 stay and its sail were put on board the
 repair scow Ulster It was announced

Soon after 10 o'clock she lowed the Shamrock clear of the Hook, when the latter proceeded to the east end of Gedney's channel under mainsail, jib, forestaysail club topsail and babyjib topsail. It was Designer Fife'S intention to sail the yacht over the regular triangular course, but after the Adelaide had logged off three and one-half miles from Scotland lightship she broke down and anchored there; so starting from the at 11:49:45 the Shamrock with the wind at southwest by west half west, blowing at sixteen miles an hour, and sheets fit aft on the star board tack, covered that dstance in just eighteen minutes. Gybing aound the Adelaide at 1207 Captain Ho9arth brought the Shamrock back to north east course heading for the lightship with sheets eased broad off to star board. When about half of the dist ance back, the weakness of the bobstay was discovered. Sail was taken in at once and the yacht lowed in as stated
 On the wind the yacht stood up well to her work to-day and she seemed to be doing her best. She averaged be- tween eleven and twelve knots during the trial The Erin came to the city during the afternoon for some more guests and material for electrically lighting the yacht during the Dewey naval parade.

 President Steyn this afternoon regard ing the situation and the decision of the Raads of the Orange Free State, is patch from Cape Town says it is un- derstood there that the secret session of the Raad of the Orange Free State will continue until the beginning of next week. The government denies that State Attorney Shuts has informed Conyngham Greene that further British mobilization will be regarded as an uu friendly act. State Secretary Reitz says that when martial law is pro- claimed it will apply to the whole country. MT. Reitz has replied to an application made by certain Outlanders to remain i'll Johannesburg in the event of war that all who desire may do fso. Commandant General Joubert, replying to numerous requests on the part of the journalists for permission to accom- pany the command, said that applica- tions were premature. Large numbers of local Danes, Germans, Frenchmen, Hollanders and Americans have of fered their services to Commandant General Joubert in the event of hostili- ties. The elder burghers still fail to see the grounds of casus belli, but, if MT Chamberlain makes what they would characterize as 'humiliating de- mands" such as. for instance, disarma- ment. war would be inevitable.
