MAKES No CONCESSIONS
England Will Not Surrender
Suzerainty Over Beers.
CAN'T DEBAR THEMSELVES
The Franchise Is Not the Only Question
Which Is to Be Settled-Secretary
Chamberlain Makes Public
the Dispatches.

London, Sept. 1.-This evening the
secretary of state for the colonies,
Joseph Chamberlain, issued the text of
the Transvaal dispatches of Aug. 10
and Aug. q and the reply of the I'M
perial government on Aug. 2S. The
publication is accompanied by note
emphasizing the advisability of making
the correct version known, owing to the
fact that an incorrect version has been
published in Pretoria.
The Transvaal dispatch of Aug. 10
contains the proposals regarding the
franchise which go on the assumption
that Great Britain viii agree that the
present intervention does not constitute
a precedent and will allow the suzer-
ainty question to drop. The dispatch of
Aug. 81 makes the concessions express
ly conditional upon Great Britain un-
dertaking not to interfere in the future
affairs of the Transvaal. not to insist
on further assertion of the existence
of the suzerainty and to agree to arbi-
tration.
The reply of the imperial government.
dated Aug. rs declares that Great Brit
ain considers that the proposals put
forward as alternative to those of July

franchise which will not be hampered
by conditions impairing it's usefulness
and which win secure immediate repre-
sentation. With respect to interVen-
tion, the imperial note says that the
government cannot debar themselves
from their rights under the conven-
tions, or divest themselves Of the obli-
cations of a civilized power to pro-
tect it's subjects abroad from injus-
tice.
The note concludes by reminding the
Transvaal that other matters exist
which the grant of a political franchise
will not settle and which are not the
proper subjects for arbitration. These,
the note declares, it will be necessary
to settle concurrently with the ques-
tions already under discussion and they
will form with the question of arbitra-
ton, proper subjects for the propose d
Capetown conference.
The Pretoria version of the imperial
reply was that Mr. Chamberlain was
! unable to consider the TransVaaFs pro
posal as an alternative to a joint com
mission of inquiry.

A TERRIFIC EXPLOSION
Five Men Killed in the Republic
Iron Works.
BLOWN THROUGH THE ROOF
Four-Ton Piece of the Boiler Crashed
Into a Dwelling House Buildings
Were Shaken at Dis
tance of Mile.

Pittsburg, Sept IA boiler explosion
at the Republic Iron Works on South
Twenty-fourth street shortly before
daylight to-day killed five men and
seriously injured seven. The mill was
partly wrecked and the entire plant
was compelled to close down.
The explosion occurred just as the
night force was leaving and the day
force was coming on duty. 50 there
were only a few men in the mill at the
time. If it had happened half an hour
later the list OF dead and injured would
have been appalling.
The explosion occurred in the 14-inch
department, and the concussion was
terrific. Buildings were shaken mile
away and dust filled the air for two
or three blocks. 1t entered open win
dows and nearly suffocated persons,
who were aroused by the roar and the
shock.
Immediately following the explosion
the wreck took fire, and this added to
the difficulties encountered in rescuing
the burned and mutilated victims. A
fire alarm was quickly sounded and in
a short time the flames were under
control after which the firemen were
employed in searching the ruins for the
dead and injured The first two bodies
We're identified as those of Beavens and
Matthews. The men had been knocked
down by the flying bricks and We're
roasted To death by the heat in their
own furnaces.
When the boiler burst, section of
it weighing four tons was blown
through the roof and crashed into the
side of the house of Gregory Sanders,
about 200 yards distant The building,
which was frame, was wrecked, but
