known now that the queen returned
from Balmoral castle, Scotland. most
ly for the purpose of attending this re-

Charges a senator with Forgery

Sioux Falls. 8. d.. June H.-Af.
Burkholder. newspaper man, has
created sensation in political and
army circles by charging that Uni
ted States senator forged a letter in
support OF the senator's hostility to
expansion and to the war In the Phil
ippines. The letter purported to have
been written by an officer Of the First
regiment, South Dakota volunteers.
whose name was withheld through
fear that the writer would be court
martialed. It described the conditions
in the American ranks as being little
better than in the convict camps Of
Siberia. A defense was made In be-
half of the senator that the letter
should have been dated May 8. instead
Of April 8. The letter appeared in the
issue of paper here last Tuesday
morning, some hours before the ar
rival Of the mail train bringing the

THE BRITISH POLICY.
Joseph Chamberlain's Speech to
Birmingham Unionists.
A MOST DETERMINED ATTITUDE.

"The Transvnal Is Flagrnntly vio-
latinG the Equality the London Con-
vention Was Intended TO Secure"
The GovernmentwnlN Not Draw Back
Birmingham. Eng, June 27.-Joseph
Chamberlain. secretary OF state for
the colonies. addressing the Unionists
of this city last evening. reviewed care
fully the Transvaal question.
In the course of his speech he said
that, owing to the enormous military
preparations of the government OF the
South African republic. Great Britain
had been compelled to increase the
British garrison in Cape Colony and
Natal entailing an additional eX-
penditure of G500,0G0 annually.
III the reforms which Lord Ripon
proposed In 1894 had been accepted"
said the minister, there would have
been TO raid and no crisis at the pre-
ent. But the raid tied the hands Of
the government and prevented the
application of pressure"
Mr.. Chamberlain said the govern
mont had tried to establish friendly re-
lations with President Kruger, but all
their advances had been received with
contempt. He then proceeded to eulo'
gize Sir Alfred Milner, governor "f
Cape Colony and British high COM
missioner for South Africa. The gov
ernment accepted full responsibility fo-
the actions OF that official. As for the
counter proposals Of Mr.. Kruger, they
did not constitute even fair install
ment Of reform.
After denouncing in the strongest
terms the attitude and actions OF ths
Beers, Mr.. Chamberlain, with great
deliberation and emphasis. added:
"The Transvaal's enormous secret
service fund has procured II friends
and advocates In every country. The
way the British subject there Is treated
is not only II menace to them. but In
terferes with our prestige among the
natives. who now regard the Beers,
and not the British, as the paramount
power.
Besides the breonhes of the London
convention the Transvaal is hagrantly
violating the equality that convention
was intended to secure. Its misgov-
ernment IL fostering sore. poisoning
the whole atmosphere Of South Africa.
The Dutch in Cape Colony and Natal

so long as the disease of hatred and
suspicion prevails in Transvaal It ID
impossible to stop the contagion.
-Four times since independence was
granted we have been on the verge OF
war with the Transvaal. II is erron
eous to say the British government
wants war. but It is equally erroneous
10 say that the government will draw
back. now that 1t has put its hand to
the plow.
I'VE hope that the efforts that are
now being made will lead to an ami
cable arrangement. for Great Britain
only desires justice. but there comes
q time when patience can hardly be
distinguished from weakness and when
moral pressure becomes a farce, that
cannot be continued without loss Of
