REFUSAL OF THE BOER'S REQUEST
 FOR REPATRIATION.
Recommended by Sir Alfred NIilner and Quickly Endorsed by Secretary Cham- berlatn-Outlandcr'sG Grievances Must be Settled Before Anything Else is Con- sidered.

London, Aug. 2a-The foreign office this evening issued a new Transvaal blue book containing further correspon- dence between the secretary of state for the colonies, Joseph Chamberlain, and the British high commissioner for South Africa, Sir Joseph Miner. The princi- pal dispatches deal with the Transvaars request for arbitration and Mr. Cham berlain's suggestion for joint inquiry, which was telegraphed to Sir Alfred Milner at Cape Town on July 31. No information is given, however, as to the views of the Transvaal government re- sarding this proposition.
 Sir Alfred Milner transmitted the TransvaaPs proposal on June 14 and recommended it's immediate rejection, as it would raise more questions than it would solve In defending his recom- mendation Sir Alfred insisted that redress of the grievances of the Out flanders stood at the head of the pro- gramme and that nothing else could be considered until this point was settled. MT. Chamberlain, in replying, endorsed Sir Alfred Miners views and reviewed the situation resulting in the treatment to which the Outlanders are now sub jected. His reply concluded with the proposal of the joint commission of in quiry.

IN ELEGANT SOUVENIR.
Issued by the State Typothet@ for the
 Coming Conventions.

tOmlnS SOnScnttoh.
 One of the handsomest souvenir pub lications of the year and there have been several of much excellence, is that
 just issued in honor of the national con
 vention of the Master Printers of the
 United States, which organization is to
 convene in annual session in this city
 September 12, 13, IA and 15 next It
 will be the thirteenth annual conven-
 tion of the United Typothetae of
 America and promises to be the best
 ever held. The souvenir is dedicated
 to Cornelius Starr Morehouse and Lev
 erett Brainard, who are designated as
 two Connecticut printers, prominent
 men in their calling and rich in the re-
 spect and confidence of their associates
 and fellow citizens" It is published
 and printed by the Connecticut Typo
 thetae as it says: 'To do good and make money" The first object will cer-
 tainly be accomplished, as the book is
 indeed rich in historical interest There are several splendid historical articles
 we'll written and highly descriptive of the state of Connecticut, the cities of New Haven, Hartford, Bridgeport,
 Waterbury, Meriden, Norwich, New London, etc. The business industries, the advantages, prospects, etc., of the state and the several cities are literally treated of. The book is profusely illus trated and this feature. together with the several articles serves to make it almost equal to trip to the famous old Nutmeg state and enable those who cannot attend the coming convention a more definite and intelligent knowledge of the history, resources and scenery of the state and surroundings. Beside many views of famous places through out the state there are many splen- did half tone cuts of the prominent printers and members of the Connecticut Typothetae and others whose money and brains have helped place Connecticut in the first rank. In of the space is devoted to a description of the origin and development of Yaie It is accompanied by many views of the campus and college build ings.
 The prominent men, the clubs, the and religious institutions, the various industries in each of the principal cities of the state are given the space they justly deserve. Typo it is a thing of beauty, while for a volume of interesting mat ter it possesses an intrinsic as well as artistic value. There is a list of officers of the United Typothetae as we'll as those of the Connecticut organization. The work is a credit to the local Typo- 1 tiOn.

POLICY IN THE PHILIPPINES
M'KINLEY MAKES 4 STiTEMENT i T
 OCE4N GROPE.
First, Then Charity for All, Then a Government of Law and Order Under the Stars and Stripcs-Prestdent Says More Than He Intended To.

Ocean Grove, N. J., Aug. 25.-Presi- dent Mckinley addressed 12,O00 people in the Auditorium here this afternoon. He was introduced by Bishop Fitzger- aid, who said that there was no con- f1ict between the Stars and Stripes and the flag of the cross and that they float side by side for humanity, liberty and truth
 The president said: "Love of flag and love of country are not inconsistent with religious faith l believe that there is more love for our country and that more people love the flag than ever before. Wherever that flag is raised it stands not for despotism and oppression, but for liberty, opportunity and humanity and what that flag has done for us we want it to do for all people and all lands which by the for tunes of war have come within it's juris- Jurisdiction. That flag does not mean one thing in the United States and an- other in Porto Rico and the Philip pines. There has been doubt in some quarters respecting the policy of the government in the Philippines 1 see no harm in stating it in this presence. Peace first, then with charity for all, establish government of law and or der, protecting life and property and occupation for the well-being of the people who will participate in it under the Stars and Stripes When the president finished, the big building shook with the intensity of the ap- plause. When the tumult stopped, the president said: q have said more than l intended

THE $5O,OOO FUTURITY.
Twenty Horses Entered-All May Not Go to the Post.

New York, Aug. 25.-The rich Futur
 ty, worth about $50,000 this year to the
 winner will be run at Sheepshead Bay
 tomorrow, the opening day of the fall card is twentytwo, just one less than the Futurity record, but it is not cer- tain that all those named will 20 to the post, and it is hardly likely there will be added starters. The race is an extremely open one, not only because of the large number of proba ble starters but because of the uncertain quality of the field. No one of the entries has done anything impressive, although a number of those that will start have been working in excellent form the last few days. The futurity course is ITO feet short of six furlongs straightway and Ogden holds the record of 1:1O made in 1896.
 Going over this years candidates there is not star in the collection, meaning there is not a horse that has shown a decided superiority over anoth- CT. David Garrick, recently purchased by Pierre Lorillard and winner of the great Trial stake is asked to pick up 134 pounds and win, which as a two-year- old he will find a difficult task. The probable favorite is Chacornac pur- chased to-day by James R. Keene from James Rowe He did an impressive five furlongs at Saratoga recently in 1:OO%, and went a trial of six furlongs yester- day in 1:14R. Doubet, son of Domi- no, who will carry 12f pounds, won the Juvenile stakes at Morris Park and in the earlyy season looked as though he would be one of the best, but his work during the season was not consistent and he is not viewed with much alarm bv the others. Of the horses that are asked to pick up 122 pounds Plucky has been a consistent performer, and is an improving colt. His best race was his defeat of Mesmerist in the First At tempt stakes at Brighton. Pluckys hest recent trial with weight up was six furlongs in 1:l6%. Virginia Earle, Musette, the latter having only appear ed but twice in company so far, have made fast trials, while Jim Baden's Okettee is credited with a work of 1:141a at Brighton on Wednesday.

ADMIRAL WATSON TIL.
Suffers an Attack of Henrt- Disease Fol-
 lowing an Accident.

lOWtnS ah Acc1uent.
 Washington Aug. 25.-The United States Army and Navy Register to- morrow will say: Recent letters from Manila mention the illness of Admiral Watson as the source of great anxiety to his officers. The illness is the effect of an accident which occurred to his launch while he was on board on the filth of July. The Baltimore, his flag ship, has been for some time at Cavite leaving Manila so as to escape the full force of the typhoons. Requiring trip up the river the admiral started in his launch. A strong wind was blowing and as the launch. Undine, went under the bridge over the river, known as the Bridge of Spain, the strong current, aided by the wind, set against the lit- tie boat and she was taken out of her course and thrown against a hawser from a sailing vessel This rope carried away the awning and the smokestack. Admiral Watson. sitting in the for ward part of the launch and witnessing the full danger of the accident, showed no appearance of having been startled by the occurrence, or in any way of having suffered by it. Later, however. in fact before his return to the flag ship, serious heart trouble developed and he was regarded as extremely i'll up to the date of the letters of the 17th. No one but his physician is allowed &C., cess to him and all business of the fleet is forbidden. It is hoped, how ever. that the enforced quiet may re- store him to health.
