Mckinley Wont Interfere.

New York, Sept. IA special to the
Herald from Washington says: Not
w~ithstanding the suggestions of Mr.,
Bourke Cochran and others, President
Mckinley has no intention of proffering
mediation in the Transvaal dispute.
Action to a peaceful solution might be
taken If congress had had an opportunity
to ratify The Hague convention, which
makes it thed duty of neutrals to suggest
to the ~dispu1ing powers that they sub
nit the controversy to an arbitration
court. In view of the fact, however, that
these conventions have not yet been sub
mitted to the senate and of the further
fact that the trouble only Indirectly con-
Germs the United States, while it is GER
tain to result in benefit to American citi-
zens, the administration has decided that
it would be inadvisable to interfere.
Should the Boer republic and Great
Britain equest the United States to
mediate, the president would be apt to
accept. Until they do. however, nothing
will be done beyond the instructions al
ready given to the American consul at
Pretoria directing him to carefully watch
developments and make frequent reports
and give all necessary protection to
Americans and their interests.

Pingree Wont Run.

Chicago, Sept. IA special to the
Record from Detroit, Mich, says: Gov
ernor Pingree, before leaving for Chicago
to attend the trust conference now in
session in that city, was pressed for a
declaration as to whether he would step
down from the ~gubernatarial chair in the
event of his nomination and election as
mayor of Detroit this fall. In reply the
governor said:
No. sir; l would not. I have never
had an idea of running for mayor again
and | would not resign as governor to
take the mayoIalty. Since the people
have seen fit to r%e-elect me, I think the
least l can do is to serve out my term.
l believe in being square with the people,
and then. on the other hand, I do not
want to be mayor. All this talk of my
running again is mere rot. I feel that l
have had my share of both city and state
offices. There are a lot of good citizens
who have never served their city or state
and they ought to be given a chance.
And when l get through with my present
term as governor l want to devote the
rest of my life to my own private bust
ness"
