Boer Government Sends a Commune
cation to Washington.

New York, July ia special to the
Herald from Washington says: The
Boer government has transmitted to
the United States a copy of a petition
addressed to it by 5000 Outlanders,
denying thai the present government
in the Transvaal is tyrannical as de-
clared by other O~utlanders, supported
by Great Britain. The petition was cir
culated in May II addressed to the
Boer government, n a copy of 1t a
been received at the state department.
Sir Alfred Miner, the British high
commissioner, in writing to Mr.. Cham
berlain concerning the petition, de-
clared that il was generally ~discredited,
and it is openly stated that the lSna-
lures had been obtained through the
fundamentally of government officials
and railway servants, who are mostly
naturalized. In diplomatic circles here
the opinion is expressed h a the Boer
government has transmitted copies Of
the petition to the governments named
therein, in order to convince them that
there is little truth in the British state
ments and to prevent any of them from
Joining Great Britain in endeavoring to
secure better treatment for the out
landers.
The feeling prevailing in administra-
ton circles is shown by the Instructions
sent today to Rear Admiral Howison,
directing him to continue his cruise.
The admiral reported his arrival at
Cape Town from Pretoria and that the
Chicago was ready to sail, and the fact
that he made no mention of the situa-
ton and failed to recommend that a
warship be sent to DelaSOa bay, shows
conclusiyely to the minds of the Off
Gals that he is satisfied the situation
is calm and that there is no danger of
war

SALT PALACE NEEDS MONEY

in the matter as they might have done.

men have done nothing. at all; they
don't seem to understand that the Salt
Palace will not only be of vast benefit
to the city, but that their stock would
be a good investment. They will buy

President Kruger Hopes to Avoid
Granting Reforms.
ENGLAND IS IMPATIENT
CONTINUES TO INCREASE FORCE
IN SOUTH AFRICA.
British Ministers Have Pledged
Themselves to Enforce Demands,
Peacefully If Possibly, Otherwise
Forcibly-Empire Is Absolutely
United On the Subject.

Copyright. 1899. by the Associated Press.)
London, July 15.-Another week Of
pickering, of heated invective and
v~ituperation, accusations of tyranny on
n hand and treason on the other. Of
increasing distress among the Outiand-
ers of the Rand, owing to the disloca-
tion of business, of military prepara-
ton and. throughout all, the apparent
maintenance by the Beers of their
stolid attitude of Indifference. All the
representations made have only served
to d TO the perils of the Transvaal
situation, and everything tends to con-
firm the opinion that the imperial gov
m means to obtain reforms. The
ministers have practically pledged
themselves TO enforce them, p~eaceably
if possible, otherwise forcibly. The en-
pire appears absolutely united on this
subject.
The startling telegram published by
the Boer organ here, the Digger News,
Friday. showing apparently that the
TranSvaal was giving in and cordial
relations had been resumed, which was
promptly denied by the secretary for
the colonies. Joseph Chamberlain,
evidently tinged to suit the suScepti-
bilitieS of the "Doppers," was so cir
cumstantial and apparently authorita-
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 on Wednesday, be-
fore the new franchise bill was intro
duced 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 alterations therein as the
imperial government might desire to
make in the interests of peace.
The refusal of President Kruger to
accede TO the request is regarded here
as a fresh affront, and only served to
clinch the belief that the president is
still dominated by DR.. Leyds, the Eu-
ropean representative of the Trans
vaal, who has heretofore, it is claimed,
proved the evil genius of the Transvaal
and continues to delude the T~ransvaal-
ers with the dangerous theory that If
they can only gain time by simulated
concessions, nc real reform Will be nee
essary, as a new grouping of the pow
ers will shortly occur, whereby Great
Britain will no longer have a free hand
in South Africa.
In the meantime, the British forces
in South Africa are being increased by
every steamer, and the avoidance of
trouble, the end of which is difficult to
foresee and which threatens to spread
far beyond the confines of the country
giving rise to it, is becoming decidedly
more difficult.

LEASE OF U. P. LANDS.
John C. Mackay Says No Feud Was
the Cause.

John c. Mackay, president of the
Uinta county. Wyoming, Woolgrowers'
Protective association. was in Salt Lake
yesterday. Speaking of the large lease
of Union Pacific lands recently closed
by him, Mr.. Mackay said: THE story
that the lease is the result of a feud
between sheep and cattlemen is abso-
lutely untrue. The relations between
these men at present are more har-
monious thar they have been for a
number of years. The association had
three seasons for leasing the lands, the
first of which was the order closing the
forest reserves. The second was that a
number of the individual members of
the association had begun TO lease
lands and the association thought it
better to lease the whole piece so as to
prevent litigation among the individual
members. But the main reason for
making the lease was our desire to
keep other sheepmen out and protect
ourselves for this season."
The lease is only for one year, but the
sheepmen have the privilege of renew
ing it if they desire to do so.

WORKING FOR HALF HOLIDAY
CLERKS WILL ASSIST IN NEW
MOVEMENT.
Matter Will Be Taken Up In Earnest
Tomorrow-Confct With Project
of the Wholesalers.

The half holiday movement made but
little progress yesterday, because Of the
fact that the promoters could not spare
the time on Saturday to work the mat
ter up. On Monday, however, members
of the Retail Clerks association and a
nu-ber of prominent merchants will
tase hold of the matter in earnest.
The movement is complicated some
what by g. movement on the part of the
wholesale houses to close on Saturday
afternoon. This movement has been
started by men connected with Clark,
Eidridge & Co. and the Symms Utah
Grocery company, and this movement
is retarded by the fact that some large
concerns like the u. c. NJ. l., which
does a wholesale and retail business
also. cannot be brought in.
The retailers cannot close on Satur-
day afternoon, as that is their busiest
time, and must have d mid-week half
holiday or none. These difficulties can
be overcome very easily, ii is thought,
and all business houses united on some
common basis. II viii be /lven a thor
ough test next week, as the men at the
head of the movement are much in
arEeSt.

MORE BRIDGE WORK.
Size of Sugar Factory Structure to
Be Increased.

The county board held a short ses-
sion yesterday and tool up the matter
of building the approach to the bridge
across the sugar factory road. a re-

This necessitates the building of forty
feet of approach. The matter was re-
ferred to Commissioner Smith with in
structions to procure piling and lumber
at once for the construction of the
same.
a resolution was also passed by the
board -instructinS the assessor to assess
