What Germans Are Now Saying About
the Proposed Boycott.

What Germans Are Now Saying About
the Proposed Boycott.
BERLIN, Sept. 13.-The German govern
ment organs have been quick to issue
warning against the proposal to boycott the
Paris exhibition. Germany has no occa-
sion to take the lead in this matter" says
the Cologne Gazette. ''She ought to leave
this to other states which perhaps would
not consider 1T undesirable that Germany
and all powers should adopt hostile atti-
tude towards France in this matter
Geheimrath Dewald, member Of the
German exhibition, says: What has the
exposition to do with politics? Its sole
object is commercial To withdraw is no
such easy matter. Every industrial branch
will be represented as a group to which
the individual manufacturer contributes.
The industrial branches could therefore
only withdraw as whole. There Is not
the slightest symptom of any inclination to
adopt that course. The greatest efforts are
putting forth in all quarters to make the
best possible showing. We have met with
the friendliest reception from the French
management of the exhibition. / am con-
WINGED the whole movement is only tenn
pest in teacup."
The Association of German Celluloid Man.
ufacturers has decided to abstain from ex-
hibiting at the Paris exposition.
The German Trades Union Association of
Cologne, on the motion of the president,
adopted resolution to-day not to exhibit
at the Paris exposition, declaring that the
Rennes sentence was an insult in its dis
regard of the official statements Of Ger
many. The press of Cologne. however,
urges German exhibitors to avoid hasty de-
cisions and to wait until other nations have
declared their attitude.

comparison with an educated man of any
other race. Among the masses one often
finds consciousness OF ignorance and strong
desire for education. The archipelago viii

Japan has been in some respects. but then
Japan had thousands of years of national
civilization behind her recent transforma-
ton. Nevertheless considering the marked
intellectual capacity Of the Filipinos and
their admirable domestic and personal viz
tues. Imagination cannot easily set the limits
to their progressive achievements under the
inspiration of American civilization, and,
while American sovereignty means this
blessing to the Filipinos, it is beyond all
doubt the one thing which can save the
archipelago from division and appropriation
by the great nations Of Europe. The United
States will hold II together and with Amer
lean democratic ideas train and elevate the
people to an ever-increasing measure of self
government"

so another question to lay upon France
the crime OF the verdict. IL crime there be
in 1t. and to throw at whole people and
at their government insulting epithets. Let
us wait.
This whole matter belongs 70 the In

At a mass meeting in the Commercial
Club rooms tonight resolutions were
adopted protesting against the seeming
travesty of justice In the trial of Captain
Dreyfus and extending sympathy to him
in his sufferings. The resolutions were
originally very radical and denunciatory,
but were much modified in discussion.

PRETORIA. Sept. 13.-President Kruger
and the executive council met here this
evening TO consider the reply to be made to
the British secretary Of state for the colo
MES. Mr.. Chamberlain. They are still con-
ferring by telegraph with the Orange Free
State The decision Is anxiously awaited
by the crowds outside the executive build
ing.
A communication has been received from
the imperial government stating that al
though anxious for a prompt reply, the i'm
perial authorities do not desire to tie the
Transvaal authorities down to forty-eight
hours. The reply will possibly come before
the Volksraad tomorrow. The decision of
the executive will undoubtedly be influenced
by the action OF the Orange Free State.
The government is still willing to attend
the joint commission originally proposed.
The imperial government. when intimat-
Ing that 1t did not desire to fix a time limit,
pointed out that its chief desire was only
for reasonable promptness in order to put
an end TO the tension 1t is understood
that President Kruger Is awaiting the ar
rival from Bloemfontein of Mr.. Fisher,
of the Orange Free State executive council,
before drafting a reply.
The Transvaal War Office denies any
knowledge OF the reported offer of 10000
Irish-Americans TO fight against Great
Britain.

LONDON. Sept. 13.-The British message
TO the Transvaal. made public to-day, does
not demand reply in forty-eight hours.
the exact wording being a request for an
immediate reply" The message Is not an
ultimatum In the generally accepted sense
OF the word. 1t expresses the hope that
President Kruger will accept the PROPOSE

only part which Is at all aggressive Is the
reiterated declination of the British govern

In the message the secretary OF state for
the colonies. Mr.. Chamberlain. says he un-
derstands the concessions made in President
Kruger's note OF Aug. IS have been with
drawn on account of the British attitude
regarding suzerainty. and adds; Her Maj
esty's government has absolutely repudiated
the view of the political status of the Trans
vaal taken by the Transvaal government,
claiming the status OF a sovereign state.
and therefore are unable TO consider any
proposal made conditionally on their ac-
ceptance OF this view" Continuing, the
note says that the British government is
satisfied that the law embodying the pro-
posal alleviating measures for outlanders is
inefilcient to secure immediate and SUBJ
stantiai representation. which 1t is under
stood the Transvaal admits to be reason

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Sept. 13.-Governor
Scofield addressed large crowd of people
at the state fair grounds to-day, the occa-
sion being state day at the fair. The Gov
ernor devoted considerable portion of his
remarks to the Philippine question, taking
occasion to criticise the policy of the adj
ministration. On the subject Of the Philip
pines the Governor said:

the President correctly as saying that the
Philippine islands belong to this country
by right of purchase. and by this is meant
that when the instruction Is suppressed

States territory, and If the policy of the

to that end, believe very serious mistake

mon.
However. our future policy as to those
islands will be settled by the people, and
the present duty of all patriotic citizens is
to warmly support the efforts of the admin
istration to suppress insurrection and estab-
lish peace. In the meantime let every in
telligent citizen give earnest thought to the
problem of our future policy as to that
territory. to the end that when the ques-
ton comes before US We shall be ready to

Latfer's View of the Political Status

LONDON, Sept. 1.-THE inference is grow

Chamberlain's latest proposition and that
there will be further negotiations looking to
a settlement OF tEo outlanders' grievances
A dispatch from Cape Town says: 1T Is
asserted in Afrikander circles here that the
Transvaal Cover" nent will accept the Brit
ish note. leaving the question OF suzerainty
on the basis OF convention OF 1854 The re-
port as to a time limit of forty-eight hours
arose from the tact that the British dip
lomatic agent at Pretoria, Conyngham
Greene, in presenting Mr.. Chamberlain's
dispatch expressed a hope that a reply would
be given by the Trarsvaal government by
Thursday. The Cape Times and the Cape
Argus both consider the British note gen.
erous and concilatory and all papers. includ-
ing the Krugerite organs. assume that the
Transvaal viii comply with the British de-
mands- 1t is believed that the Orange Free

The London Times regards Mr.. Chamber

nest. without being peremptory. not neces-
sarily an ultimatum. but a prelude to an
ultimatum should the Transvaal's reply
prove unfavorable." This fairly represents
the feeling Of the London morning papers
to-day. Even the Daily Chronicle. which is
virtually pro-Kruger in its sympathies,
urges the Beers to accept 'the imperial
governments reasonable demands, which
threaten no Interior danger to the independ-
ence OF the Transvaal."
A special dispatch from Pretoria says the
leaders Of the Afrikander Bund have tele-
graphed to President Kruger urging him to

BILE still clings to him. Nine. Dreyfus visited
her husband to-day and came away looking
cheerful. She spent about an hour with
him. NJ. Labori's assistant sees him twice

in reading correspondence and Paris liter
airy reviews. He is under the same disci-

exercise daily in the prison yard. A canvas
screen Is now hung across the courtyard
to prevent photographers getting snap shots
of him. A guard of forty soldiers is posted
in the prison yard beneath his window and
sentry with loaded rifle and fixed bayonet
is stationed on the wall overlooking the
second courtyard. where he takes his exer-
cise.
