REPUBLICAN ROW.
Governor LoWDdes and Senator We'll
ington, of Maryland at Oids Over
Campaign Methods.

BALTIMORE, Md, September 21.-
Governor Lowndes, who is a candidate
for reelection on the Republican State
ticket, to-day demanded the resignation
OF United States Senator George l..
Wellington as chairman of the Repub-
ncan State Central Committee, and it
is understood that Senator Wellington
viii comply at once with the Govern
or's request. This step is the outcome
of the action of the State Central Com
mittee yesterday in appointing commit
tees on finance and On the conduct Of
the coming campaign, which practical
ly deprived the chairman of the COM
mittee of most of his power and use
fulness. Senator Wellington, who in
the meeting voted in favor of the APP
pointment of the committees in ques-
ton, subsequently took different view
of the matter and gave out an inerview
in which he attacked the Governor
and his friends, accusing them of con-
spring TO deprive him of the powers
of his position.
Senator Wellington says:
My ultimatum is that the committee
must rescind both these resolutions or
l will retire from it. l will not turn a
hand until they do this No headquar-
tiers will be opened, and l am going to
Cumberland to wait until | hear from
them. l think that the ticket is beaten
beyond any question. The committee
have offended every Malsterite and alb
solutely ignored the colored voters.
There is a day of reckoning coming
which they will not like TO meet"
The Senator further charges Govern
or Lowndes with having surrendered
control Of the party to John X. Cowen,
of the P~-imore and Ohio railroad, and
asset = at United States Senator Nc
Comas is also controlled by the same
influence. Governor LOwndes and Sem
ator Wellington have been fast friends,
the latter at one time having filled a
position in the banking house of the
Governor in Cumberland Nd Their
political fortunes have been closely al
lied. and much of the credit for the
conduct of the campaign, which elected
Governor Lowndes four years ago has
heretofore been accorded to Senator
Wellington, who was at that time chair
man of the Republican State Central
Committee

Cspe Colony Africanders Appeal to Presi-
dent Kruger to Avoid the Horrors of
War.
CAPE TOWN, September 21.-At a
meeting OF the Afrikander members OF
parliament yesterday, Mr.. Neethling
presiding, the following telegram was
dispatched to President Kruger:
We Afrikander members of parlia-
ment thoroughly sympathize with our
Afrikander relatives in their troubles.
While approaching the concessions all
ready made in the interests of peace
we beg to urge the expediency of doing
the utmost short of sacrificing indie
pendence to avert the horrors OF war.
While agreeing that the joint INQUIRY
proposed. by Mr.. Chamberlain cannot
be asked as a matter of right. we he
lieye such a commission will provide a
way out of the difficulties which are
fast approaching crisis with results
which might prove fatal not only TO
the Transvaal and our Free State bretb

minor Importance. We beg your honor
to lay these words, only dictated by
keen sense of our common interests and
risks, privately before the executive and

This message, which was signed by
fifty-three members of parliament, re-
ceived the following reply from Presl-
dent Kruger:

friends once more from my heart for
the manner in which you have aided
our efforts for pacific and satisfactory

that your work and ours will not be

The meeting also adopted a resolu-

satisfaction that the executive of the

LONDON, September 21.-The speech
former Liberal leader. to mis- constit-
uents at New Tredegar last night and
the message of the Cape Town Afri-
kander members of Parliament to
Pesident Kruger have proved red rags
to the ar-at-any- price" party. The
Cape papers declare the action of the
members of Parliament amounts al
most to treason. and the same terms
are applied to Sir William Vernon Har-
courts remarks by the English anti
Boer papers.
Those who claim the situation has not
yet passed the rubicon of pacific nego-
tiations see in President Kruger's an
swer to the Afrikanders a genuine de-
sire to avoid hostilities. The report
that he has personally petitioned
Queen Victoria to avert hostilities GER
tainly does not bear out the alarmist
reports Of the English correspondents
in South Africa that President Kruger
determined long since upon war.
Nevertheless preparations for that
eventualfty continue theoretically on
both sides. The Bees are laagering
and British troops are reaching Kim
berley and Lady Smith. the onward
march of the latter being marked by
enthusiastic ovations from the scared
inhabitants and hordes hurrying south
ward for safety
The latest report of Beers activity
emanajes from New Castle, Natal. say
ing the Transvaal forces are encamped
at Zandsprint and intend to raid Natal
Immediately after they understand that
MIR. Chamberlain reply is not sat-
isfactory.
The British army nursing service sails
from Southampton tomorrow and Maj.
Gen. French sails Saturday. He goes
to Durham, Natal. to command the
cavalry brigade
The foregoing includes all the actual
developments, but they help little to
solve the universal question, 'Will there
be war;"
The answer of President Steyn, of
the Orange Free State, to Sir Alfred
Miner, the British high commissioner
of South Africa, is not regarded as a
satisfactory explanation of the Free
States position and by no means dissi-
pates the increased seriousness with
which the situation is regarded. Since
the first it has been reported that the
Free State would aggressively assist the
Transvaal.
Vanity Fair, frequently we'll informed
regarding political secrets, to-day en-
phatically reiterates the assertion that
there will be no war. 1t says: "Presi-
dent Kruger is an old man, but he is
no dotard. He would like to get his
own way, but not at the cost of de-
feat. Climb down he will We main
tain the belief that there will be no
war" Vanity Fair takes the view,
which is shared by several weeklies,
that the alarmist daily papers have
created a fictitious crisis.
Conservative sitting of the conflicting
opinions and rumOrs now prevailing re-
garding the outcome of the dispute will
be more practicable after tomorrow s
cabinet meeting though the official an
nouncement of the minister's decision
is likely to be delayed few days.
The London edition of the Standard
and Diggers' News. of Johannesburg,
gave out cable dispatch to-day pur-
porting to be from johannesburg, say
ing that the returns from the field cor
nets of the Transvaal and Orange Free
tate show that $4,000 burghers are
ready to take the field at short notice.

BLoEMFONTAIN. Orange

BLOEMFONTAIN, Orange Free
State, September 21.-The Volksraad
met to-day with full attendance Pre-
sident Steyn read a carefully prepared
speech. After welcoming the Burgh-
ers, he expressed regret that the rela-
lions between Great Britain and the
Transvaal had become strained. The
members, he said, were aware of the
meeting of Sir Alfred Miner and Pre-
sident Kruger and Blomfontain, when
President Kruger made proposals
which, although refused by the British
high commissioner, were unanimously
considered throughout the Orange Free
State to be exceedingly fair Proceeding
to review the negotiations, President
Steyn said the Transvaal had been de-
coyed by the British diplomatic agent
at Pretoria, COnyngham Greene, and he
practically accused the imperial gov
eminent of a breach of faith. He said
he was disinclined to advise the Trans
vaal government to accept the latest
British demands. The present critical
state of Affairs could not be a matter
of Indifference to the Orange Free
State, which was bound by treaty to
afford assistance to the Transvaal and
he had, therefore, convened the Volks-
raad to decide what attitude should be
taken.
There is nothing" declared the pre-
sident, that warrants war or an at
tack upon the Transvaal. Such differ
ences as exist can be solved by arbi-
tration. War would be an insult to
religion and civilization
In conclusion, President Steyn said
he would take this opportunity of lay
ing certain draft laws before the Volks-
raad for consideration, praying God to
give the members strength to pass re-
solutions not only conducive to peace
and prosperity. but also in the interest
of their beloved state.
Immediately after the speech, Presi-
dent Steyn asked the Volksraad to go
into secret session, which was agreed
to unanimously.
