THE TRANSVAAL SITUATION.
Proposal Offered Mr.. Chamberlain of Com.
Ing to y Settlement Regarding the
Franchise and Other Questions.

Cape Town, Sept. 5.-The news re.
ceived from Pretoria yesterday begins
to show the situation in a clearer
light. 1t appears that the Transvaal's
reply, which was handed on Saturday
to the British diplomatic agent at Pre-
toria, Mr.. Conyingham-Greene was
only to Mr.. Chamberlain's proposal re-
specting a conference at Cape Town
and that another reply will be delivered
to-day to Mr.. Chamberlain's original
proposal Of joint inquiry into the
franchise bill.
In the course Of an interview yester-
day State Secretary Reitz said the
Transvaal government was waiting
until Saturdays dispatch reached the
imperial authorities before making its
contents public. Without, however,
entering into details he could say that
in his judgment the proposals of the
government offered Mr. Chamberlain
an opportunity Of coming to a settle
ment regarding the franchise and other
outstanding questions. He could also
say that the Transvaal would take
part in the suggested conference and
was now awaiting the imperial govern.
ment's reply in order to arrange the
details as to place of meeting.

purpose Of taking up and discussing
matters of general interest to the vari-

M'LEAN'S NOMINATION.


Louisville, KY, Sept. 1.-The nomi-
nation Of John R. Mclean for governor
blythe democratic state convention Of
Ohio is a matter that concerns the
democrats of the whole country, for it
is said to be step in the prearranged
campaign Of certain democratic leaders
against the denomination of W. J.
Bryan in 1900. 1t is the confident be-
lief of astute politicians at Cincinnati
that while Goebel and Mclean are
both professedly followers of Mr..
Bryan, they are part of movement
which includes Croker and Tammany
hall, German and his Maryland friends
and Carter H. Harrison, Of Chicago.
1t will be found, say these political
prophets, that the delegations from
New York, Maryland, Ohio, Illinois
and Kentucky will be for John R. Mo
Lean for president in 1900. Nominally
they will carry credentials as Bryan
men, but this will enable them all the
more effectively to execute their pur-
