view Of the political status of the
government, claiming the status of
a sovereign international state"
That is to say, the Transvaal is
and is to be dependency of Eng
land. Again. We raise the ques-
ton, where before. in the history
of the world has nation gone to
war with another nation to compel
that nation to make the citizens of
the first the citizens of the second,
when that disfranchises them from
the mother country? Has any
mother country pursued that course
for disfranchising its own sons be-
fore? The fact is all too plain
that it is the intention that when
the Outlanders have forsworn the
mother country and taken. the
oaths that make them citizens of
the Transvaal republic, they will
not cease to be Englishmen; they
will not harmonize with the Boer
ideals; they will revolutionize
those ideals and destroy them.
That means the historic Transvaal
republic will be blotted out.
But we cannot pose as Pharisees

repetition of the history of the

CRICKET AT PHILADELPHIA.
Prince "Ranj's" Eleven Playing q
Picked Team.

PHILADELPHIA, September 25.-Beauti-
full autumn weather prevailed for the open
Ing days play in the first of a series Of
three interna tional cricket matches between
Prince Kumar Shrie Ranjitsinhjis English
eleven and teams made up from the vari-
Gus Philadelphia clubs. The scene of the
first contest Is the pretty grounds of the
Belmont Cricket Club at Elmwood, in West
Philadelphia and the opponents of the
English representatives are twenty-five
Colts" or junior players, picked from the
various cricket clubs in this city. The
colts are captained by Flank Altemus,
veteran, who has played In many fnterna-
tional matches.
The grounds are in almost perfect condi-
ton for playing. The crease Is fast and
greatly favors the bowlers.
Only small gathering was present when
play began but this Is not unusual and
large attendance is expected during the af-
ternoon. Capt. Ranjitsinhjfs eleven Is one
of the strongest aggregations OF cricketers
that have ever played on this side of the
Atlantic. From the Indian prince, who Is
probably the worlds greatest batsman,
down to the last man on the team there Is
not a weak hitter, and most OF the men
are good bowlers. Even with their good
batting qualities, the Englishmen will find
it hard to run up a big score. as 1t will be
difficult to safely place their hits with twen-
ty-two players in the field.
Just before play was started 1t was de-
cided that only fourteen colts should play
in the field This change was due to re-
quest of Prince "Ranjf," who explained
that his team would be obliged to alter
it's entire style of play with twenty-five
men fielding. The twenty-five players,
however, will bat, so that the scoring of
the young Philadelphians will not be af-
fected.
ed to go to bat. Play was started shortly
before noon.

RESULT OF RUNAWAY,
Wagons Damaged and One Man
Slightly Injured.

A runaway horse at 18th and G streets

and created general havoc. The trouble
was begun by the horse attached to one of
Saks & Company's delivery wagons becom-
ing frightened and dashing down 18th
street. The horse driven by J. r.
Modem, who was thrown to the pavement
when his wagon collided with milk wa
gon belonging to Walter & Wilson of 300
D street northwest. Modem was dragged
for half a square, and when his wagon
toppled over he was under It. The milk
wagon was badly damaged.
James j. Bateman, Il carpenter, who lives
near Whitney avenue, crossing the
street at the time, and was knocked TO the
pavement, receiving a scalp wound and
several Commissions on his hips and other
parts of the body. He was taken to the
Emergency Hospital, where his injuries
were pronounced of a slight character.
Modem got up, saying he was not hurt at
all, and led his team away.

Decline of British Industries.
LAS everybody is aware our markets at
present are falling away-even the home
and colonial markets-and some of our in
dustries are declining. Any hope of ex-
pansion of recovery in the near future
seems chimerical, in view of existing con-
ditions and the prospect of an ever-grow-
ing foreign competition. What wonder,
therefore, that workmen are puzzled to dis
cover any benefit to them in the new order
of things? The perfected machinery for
production is a matter of immense signifi-
canoe; the expanding markets for British
products yet a dream. If the ma
jority of skilled working people in the
united kingdom do not abate their hostility
to improved machinery, and take the
chances of reimbursement of the mass OF
labor to the new mechanical facilities by
emigration or otherwise, there is trouble
ahead, the consequences of which no man
can measure. The engineers strike, which
came to end in the spring of 1898,
threatened the entire fabric of British in
dustries by shaking the confidence of the
world and of our own people in their pro-
ductve power. Another such experience
will be disastrous beyond all calculation Our
manufacturers have to face that possibility.
l do not put it as a probability, because l
am not pessimst, but prefer to look at
the bright side 1t We're useless. however,
to blink the fact that in the industrial rev.
oluton now going on. brought about chiefly
by American competition, there turks d

Statements Verified.
To make that his informant was not
mistaken in his statements as to the COM
paratfve efficiency of the American and
British machines, Consul Fleming verified
them fully. However, that this is by no
means rare example of the marked super
iCrity of certain kinds of American ma
CHI merry is indicated by the fact that on the
same day another engineer told him that
he had just finished fitting up in printing
house In Edinburgh an American folding
machine which is managed by one opera
tive. and is hereafter to do the work that
up to the present time has required four
British machines, each with a separate
operative. Mr.. Fleming has this Amer
lean machine in operation. Its owners are
greatly pleased with it, as it does its work
in a far more satisfactory manner than any
other machine they have for the same pur-
pose.

Most Conservative Convinced.

Even the most conservative manufacture
ers in this country are now convinced, or
are beginning to realize, that they can no
longer afford to do without at least mod
crate percentage of American general ma
chinery. in addition to the common ma
chine and other tools which have already
been adopted everywhere.
"A great disqualification which much of
the British machinery has in addition to
its being slow to work with, Is its unneces-
sary weight 1t is often absurdly heavy. ]
may say, without reservation. that machin-
cry of every description is invariably made
lighter in the United States than in Great
Britain. This is reason why it so often
lightness makes it better adapted to gen
and makers seem to have happy faculty
of properly combining lghtness with
strength and durability in machinery of all
kinds. One sometimes hears misinformed
or prcjudiced persons say that American
machinery is jerry built This is the
verse of true, the machinery not only
does fine work, but IS we'll built from the
best materials. AS to durability, 1t lasts
well any in the world. A fiber ma
chine which my employers got from the
United States eleven months ago has since
its arrival been worked continuously ten
hours a day every week day except Satur-
day, and six hours on Saturday 1t has
never been for moment in the slightest
degree out of order and has never cost US
a farthing in repairs, but has uniformly
run without a hitch and has at all times
done its work faultlessly.

Conditions in America.

British manufacturers have been crti-
cised for their conservatism by none more
sharply than by the leading British papers
Let me say that this conservatism has not
been a matter of choice, but, as they have
thought. an imperative necessity. They
know-have long known-that American
machinery and methods are beating them
in their own markets. They have known
that for their own salvation they must
adopt American machinery and methods;
but until quite recently, they took no step
in that direction for fear of bringing on
serious complication with the working peo-
pie
ITO rightly understand the problem which
British manufacturers have to deal with
one must consider the differing Industrial
conditions in the United States and in the
united kingdom. Leaving wholly out of
view the different economic systems, what
do find in comparing the two countries
from industrial standpoint? The wages
of skilled labor in the states are from 20 to
30 per cent higher than the wages Of skill
ed labor here. Good wages inevitably mean
greater efficiency of labor. Workmen are
stimulated to put forth their best efforts.
They work cheerfully, and therefore they
work well. Moreover, the high scale of
wages has been strong influence in favor
of the invention Of machinery which gives
labor a productive capacity corresponding
to the wages received If labor-saving ma
chfnery has thrown men out Of employ
ment in any branch of industry, they have
quickly found work in another so multi
farious are the industries and employments
in country so vast as the United States
I personally know Of cases in your country
of workmen forced out by labor-saving ma
chimes getting immediate employment in
making the machines.
In the United Kingdom.
Now, turn to the united kingdom. The
laboring population is almost fixed guam
tity. both in number and occupations It
is fixed in grooves. Once bolt maker, al
ways bolt maker. Moreover, old methods
are stoutly adhered to by the workmen
Their wages are comparatively low; their
organizations are extensive and powerful
They have, as rule. set their faces against
labor-saving machinery, because the dis
placement of labor here is regarded by the
masses as very serious thing. 1 am IN
ciined to consider it.
You can readily see why manufacturers
in this country have been conservative 1t
is not because they have not desired to
push ahead. to adopt every new device and
every new method and to run the indus
:Ties at high pressure. They have simply
been afraid to venture. But the tide Of
iron and steel and other manufactures roll

Results of a Test Winter.

This spring has been one of good
deal of anxiety and solcitude for the
fruit grower The winter was an un
usually severe one and has drawn the
line very sharply between our really
hardy and semi-hardy fruits. The
season has now advanced to point
where results of this severe cold weather
test can be pretty accurately determined
We lind in our own orchard that all
varieties of raspberries and blackberries
where the caD*s escaped being properly
covered last fall, are dead to the ground
The only exception is with the Older
black raspberry, which pulled through,
entirely unprotected, in good shape. The
same is true Of grapes Concord, Worden,
Moore's Early and Brighton This fact
emphasizes the need OF laying down and
covering all this class of fruit in the
latitude of northern Iowa. Where so
protected, it has all come through in
splendid shape. The Moldavka Russian
plums nave wintered perfectly, while
the Hungarian prune and all of the
half hardy plums, Japan and Others, are
dead to the ground. Semi hardy
varieties OF apples top grated on crab
and Hibernal are coming out in perfec,
condition. The Wealthy apple has
stood the test splendidly, even on It's
owr roots, aud heyeafter will be rated by
Us as amply hardy for this latitude a
