KRUGER AND STEYN IN
TELEGRAPHIC CONFERENCE

PRETORIA, Sept. 22.-Presfdent
Kruger has been in telegraphfc con
ference with President Steyn this af
ternoon regarding the situation. and
the decision of the Raad of the Orange
Free State is awaited with interest.
Large numbers of local Danes. Ger
mans, Frenchmen, Hollanders and
Americans have offered their services
to Commandant General Joubert in the
event of hostiuties
The executive council sat until 5
o'clock last evening. A telegram con-
tanning President Steyn's reply to Sir
Alfred Miner, the British High Com
missioner in South Africa, was loudly
cheered.
A large order for horses has bean
given in the Orange Free State. The
field cornets say that in the event of
mobilization 1000 men will be available
at Pretoria alone.
1t is reported that an experiment at
Zuurfontein with a locally manufac-
tured dynamite gun resulted in the gun
bursting, though no one was injured.
A greenbook has been issued contain
ing the report of State Attorney SHUTS
to the Government on the pourparlers

leading to the conditional five years
franchise proposal. Mr. SHUTS asserts S
that the proposal was the result of a
private discussion and an arrangement
that both Governments should infor-
mally decide about the offer and its ac-
ceptance before the offer should be
formally submitted. He also contends
that the exact draft of the offer was
wired to the British High Commits
sioner, Sir Alfred Miner, and that the
imperial Government sent a dispatch To
Mr.. Greene which the latter interpreted
as an acceptance of the offer.
Mr.. SHUTS says that had the Trans
vaal known any difficulty would be
made about suzerai1ty his Government
would never have made the proposals.
but would have probably Immediately
accepted the invitation TO joint COM
mission of inquiry regarding the seven
year proposal He also denies that he
promised Mr.. Greene that the new
members OF the Raad would be allowed
to speak English. All he said on this
subject. he declares. was that the mat
ter would easily settle itself. and he
shows that in the telegram to Sir Al
fred Miner no mention was made of
this subject.

SUCCESSFUL TEST OF
A SUBMARINE BOAT

GREENPORT, N. Y, Sept 22.-The
submarine torpedo boat Holland made
remarkably good showing during the
practice run to-day in Little Peconic
Bay. The new diving apparatus for
operating the steering engines worked
successfully. the boat getting under
water and completely out of sight in
quick time. The trial was in sending
the boat over a mile course submerged,
at the end of which it came to the sur
face and the torpedo was discharged
from the tube. The run under the wa
ter was made in about ten minutes, and
the torpedo was successfully dis
charged from the tube, but, owing to
what is thought to have been disar-
rangement Of some of the mechanism,
the torpedo, instead of taking a
straight course. took a downward turn
