REPORTS of the debate in the Canadlan
parliament and the tone of SIT Wlllrlu
I,auriers and Sir Charles 1uppers re-
marks have caused the greatest satlstac-
tion here.
The startling telegram published by
the Boer organ here, The Diggers' News,
Friday, showing apparently that the
Transvaa1 was giving in and that cordlai
relations had been resumed. which was
promptly denied by the secretary OF state
for the colonies, Mr.. Joseph Chamber
lain. though evidently tingcd to suit the
susceptibilities of the Doppers. was SO
circumstantial and apparently authorlta-
tive that momentarily the hope was
aroused that the end Of the quarrel was
in sight. but the only foundation for the
dispatch was found in the fact that Mr..
Chamberlain Wednesday, before the new
franchise bill was introduced in the
volksraad, requested that the text be
communicated to him and suggested that
the debate be postponed pending such
friendly representations in regard to al
terations therein as the imperial govern
ment might desire to make in the inter-
est Of peace.
A Fresh AHront.
The refusal Of President Kruger to ac-
cede to the request is regarded here as
fresh atfront and only served to clinch
the belief that the president is still doni-
mated by DR.. Leyds, the European repre-
sentative of the Transvaal, who has here
toforc. it is claimed, proved the evil gen
ius of the Transyaal and continues to de-
luue tue bbpIS With tu' dangerous tI'ol3
that If they can snly gain time by simu-
lated concessions no real reform will be
necessary, as Il new grouping Of the pow
ers will shortly occur, whereby Great
Britain will no longer have Il free hand
In South Africa.
In the meantime the British forces in
South Africa are being increased by ev-
cry steamer, and the avoidance of harsh
measures, the end of which is difficult to
foresee and which threaten to spread far
beyond the confines of the country giving
rise to them, is becoming daily more diff
cult.
Mr.. William Harper of the Philadelphia
Commercial museum, who is just COM
pleting a two years tour of the world,
collecting samples of the chief articles
the various nations import, is about to
forward to the United States a collection
of the most remarkable sample cases ev-
er amasscd. During the course of his
quest Mr.. Harper penetrated to the most
remote corners of Russia, Asia. Africa,
Australia and South America and COM
piled vast amount Of information as to
the requirements of the various coun-
tries, samples Of goods, models of nipple
ments and photographs and specifications
OF all the leading articles of trade all of
which will be on exhibition in Philadel-
phia during the month of October.

Harper, "and l do not think its like is
eQualed in the world. 1t contains engine
models from France. hayrakes from Rus

Our Growing Exports.
"As regards the growth of American
exports to England, believe 1t is largely
due to the fact Of the increased consump-
ton Of the world generally. England is
probably supplying the same as before.
but America is supplying the surplus.
While England is standing still we are
growing. The question of speed is also
a great factor. America manufactures
in such quantities that she can produce
a completed article phenomenally quick.
The point is we'll exempltied by the fol
lowing statements; An official of Bald
wins Locomotive works wrote me that
they had locomotives lying around on the
shelves and that 1t was only necessary
for n machinist to put the parts together,

days ago that Of 30 engines he built re-

The International Games.
1t would be difficult to imagine a more
charming picture than the Queens club
grounds presented Saturday afternoon
when the blue and crimson ribboned
American university athletic teams made
their first appearance upon the scene of
next saturdays contest. 1t was a typical
English day, with balmy air and half
clopded sky, which combined to make
athletics Il pleasure.
1.-The Queens club is undoubtedly the
most complete athletic grounds ever
seen," said Manager Wendell. 1--WE know
the charms of Travers island and Bergen
Point, bat nothing could equal those Of
the Queens club. 1t is delightful TO
know that the Oxford and Cambridge
managers appreciate eur desire to free
amateur sports from the charge of pro-
fessionali<m. The attention paid ms here
has exceeded anything we could desire ar
ask for
Inc presence on Me grounds Of half n
score of the Oxford and Cambridge
teams added to the interest of the after
noon. Mr. G. n. Jackson, the honorary
treasurer of Oxford, and Captain Hunter
OF Cambridge were presented to the
Americans and assured them of the sin
certify Of the English welcome. The
English athletes RETAINED from any per-
Torrance until the retirement of tha |
Americans to Brighton, when they in
