EXCITEMENT IN TRANSvAAL
MATTERS MUST BE BROUGHT TO
AN ISSUE.
Orange Free State Has Voted Large
Sums of Money For Military Sup
plies.

London, June 23.-A dispatch from
Capetown to the Outlook says:
The tension is extreme. Business is
at a standstill, and the general feeling
is that England must promptly bring
matters to an issue. The league will
have no difficulty in preventing meet
ings supporting Sir Alfred Miners at
titude, the desire being to refrain from
embarrassing the imperial authorities.
The Orange government is urging the
Transvaal to make further concessions.
Many people consider that Sir Alfred
Miners franchise proposals are use
less without the granting of twelve
seats in the mining centers and the
right to speak English in the Volks-
raad. Otherwise it will be impossible
to select representative men. Failing
these concessions, the Johannesburgers
say they prefer a treaty providing Sc
curity and judicial and educational re-
forms.
The secretary of state for the colo
nies, Joseph Chamberlain, in the house
of commons today, in answering a
question. denied the government was
reinforcing the British troops in South
Africa to a total of 10000 men.

The spirit of expansion fills the air.
If is rampant in Salt Lake. This city
will expand whether the nation does
or not. Part of Farmers ward, extend
ing from State to Fifth East. and from
Tenth TO Eleventh South, proposes TO
constitute a part of Greater Salt Lake
and so far as The Herald has been aple
to learn, there is no one IN the city OPP
posed to the annexation. Indeed, lne
question has not been broached even
as TO whether the natives of that ter
1itofv are capable of Self-goVernment-
This part of Farmers ward would be
a valuable accession to the city, and
the residents realize fully the adNan-
tages that would accrue to them Dy
admission into the city. The tract OF
ground covers just 200 acres. 1t en-
braces the beautiful place known as
Capitol Avenue addition, and has many
beautiful homes There are now about
] 600 inhabitants i'll the territory, and
this number will be rapidly augmented
when the advantages of the city are
extended to Farmers ward
The advantages they sigh for chiefly
are those afforded by the city schools,
the city water supply, the city lights
and the care of their streets and side
walks In addition to these some OF
the residents have political ambitions
that they can satisfy only by taking
an active part in the public affairs OF
a great city They consider that the
additional taxes would be much more
than overbalanced by the advantages
they would gain by annexation.
Promoters of Annexation.
The men who are taking the most
active interest in the movement for
annexation now are Professor William
Bradford. principal of the Jackson
school: DR. William II. Hodges. j. A.
Frirch and /. J. Kyes, ticket agent of
the Oregon Short Line. They are now
preparing for the campaign. and an
ticipate no serious trouble in gaining
their point They will prepare plats of
the ground TO lay before the city coun-
ell. and circulate a petition among the
residents, asking the council to take
them in Under the old law it was
necessary To hold an election to ascer-
tain the wishes of the people. That is
no longer necessary; a petition takes
fits place.
one of the first effects of annexation,
which the residents consider sure to
come. and in a very short time, will be
a water main south on State street TO
the new addition. This, il is estimated,
will cost $1,000 to the northern limits
of the addition. and to pipe the water
to the different parts of the addition
will cost at least $1,000 more.
This matter of annexation has been
discussed before. but only discussed.
Now the residents of the territory mean
business. and viii have the matter
rea0y for the councils action in very
short time.

5000, 900 acres of land within the reser-

War Department Decides to Maintain
Post Drink Shops.

Washington, June 23-The acting
secretary of war said today that so
far as the department is concerned the
question OF the maintenance OF can
teens at United States army posts is
settled in favor of maintaining the
present system
Reports from officers IN all branches
of the service showed that from every
standnoint the army canteen associa-
tion as operated is infinitely better for
the interests of the soldier than the old
system of post traders and low grog-
geries on the outskirts of the posts. The
regulations under which the canteen
operates are already formulated and
there will be no need for further ac-
tion by the department.

Seattle, Wash, June 23.-The second
big lot of returning Klondikers since
navigation opened reached here this
afternoon on the steamer Humboldt.
There were about 250 of them. and a
few of them brought considerable gold
dust. Others were reported TO have
drafts for large amounts, while others
came home without riches.
No accurate estimate of the amount
of gold dust can be made, for the reason
that the figures given by the different
passengers vary widely. ranging all the
way from s25O.000 To S500.000. Still more
diverging are the conjectures as 20 the
amount of drafts. Including drafts and
dust, the estimates range from $509.000
to S1.250.000. Purser Carroll claims that
he had in his custody $3.50, 600 in dust.
and estimates that there was about
$500, 900 more in the different stateroOms
not turned over to him.

worth of dust had been dposited in the

that at least 10000 will come out this
summer, but their places will be filed
by men going in. Michael White an
