years and being heard a half dozen

IN THE TRANSVAAL.
Franchise Proposals Made by Boer
Government.

PRETORIA, August 22.-It is ascer-
tanned on the highest authority that no
definite reply has been sent to the pro-
pOsal of the British Secretary OF State
for the Colonies Joseph Chamberlain, to
submit to a joint committee of inquiry
the effect on the Uitlanders of the re-
cent franchise reforms The precise sit
uation is that, as result of the pour
parlers, communication was dis
patched yesterday to Sir Alfred Miner,
British High Commissioner in South
Africa and Governor of Cape Colony,
which embodies certain alternative pro-
posals. For various reasons these are
kept strictly confidential, but it is be-
lieved that they will admit Of the con-
Clusion of a modus vivendi
1t is understood, from official sources
of information that the alternative pro-
posals of the Transvaal Government are
for a five years franchise and one-fifth
representation of the Uitlanders in the
first Raad, provided the Imperial Gov
ernment does not further interfere in
the internal affairs of the Transvaal.
official circles at present regard the
situation as tending to improve. The
war ammunition consigned to the South
African Republic is still detained by the
Portuguese authorities in Delagoa bay.

TO BREAK RECORD.
Story of Captain seabury's Intentions
With the China.

The China may be expected any time.
The Australia brought word that Cap
tain Seabury intends this trip to beat
the record of 5 days, s hours between
San Francisco and the Islands. %he
China was scheduled to sail at noon Au-
gust 25. The story of the record breaiS-
ing is that she actually intended TO
leave San Francisco at 2 p. m. that day.
If she did, she would be out exactly
five days at l o'clock today. To beat
her record she must then be in by 9
o'clock tonight or before to beat the
record.
Look out for the China when the
whistle blows

REEDS RESIGNATION,

AUGUSTA (Me.), August 22.-The re-
signation of Thomas b. Reed as Con-
gresham in the First Maine district
to take effect September 4, was received
and accepted by Governor Powers to-
day. There has been a persistent ru-
NOR in Washington for some weeks Ia
the effect that Mckinley will not be a
candidate for second term. This ru-
NOR, traCeable to no authoritative
source, has undoubtedly gathered
strength from the announcement of
Mr.. Reeds resignation.

THAT is WHAT OAHU WILL AT
ONCE BECOME.
United States Government Has Con-
demned Kahaukiki and Part of Leile-
hua Ranch for the Purpose.

WASHINGTON, August 19.-The
War Department has set aside two
large tracts of land near Honolulu as
military reservations. One tract con-
tains 1884 acres, situated about three
miles northwest of the city, and the
other, 14,4OO acres, is nineteen miles
from Honolulu and about nine miles
from Pearl Harbor.
The Government will erect barracks
and permanently garrison the two
posts. They will be used as a rendez-
vous for troops that may be necessary
for the Philippines after the insurrec-
ton in those islands is put down.
1t is argued that even after the Fill
pinos are thoroughly subjugated it will
be necessary to keep troops stationed
throughout the islands. The climate in
the Philippines Is known to be un-
healthy, and the regiments stationed
there will have to be relieved as occa-
sion requires. If they were brought back
to the United States the time and eX-
pense required will be considerable. The
climate of Hawaii and especially where
the two reservations are to be estab-
ished, is considered extremely healthy.
1t is the purpose of Secretary Root to
transfer the troops that are to be sta
toned at Honolulu to Manila as the reg
iments at that point require rest and
relaxation from duty. For this purpose
several transports will be especially de-
| signated. Honolulu will be made a base
| of supplies for both troops stationed
there and in the Philippines.
| The plot nearest Honolulu referred to
is the Kakauiki tract just beyond Kali
| hi. Letters received today confirm the
condemnation of this property for Gov
ernment uses. The other tract is Leile-
hua ranch, above the settlement of the
California ranchers beyond Pearl City
The barracks to be erected on these two
PAGES will be elaborate, and as the dis
patch states, will be used for through
| troops.
Besides stopping point for troops er
route to Manila the reservation here
will become a great military station fol
the quartering of troops against con-
| tingencies. It is estimated that there
will be from 1000 to 10000 men there al
| the time.
Several companies of engineers will
shortly be detailed to Hawaii to erect
| barracks for the troops.

SUGAR WAR.
The Trust and Arbuckels Slash Prices
Vigorously.

NEW YORK, August 2l.-The war
between the American Sugar Refining
Company and it's competitors uneXpect-
edly broke out anew today and devel-
oped into decidedly interesting fight,
which promises to grow more bitter
with time. The American company
started in by reducing the prices of all
grades of refined sugar 3-16 of cent
per pound. Other refining companies
promptly met the reduction, and within
a very short time the Arbuckle Com
pany lowered the price still further by
1-16 of a cent per pound, making a tota'
reduction of a cent per pound within a
few hours
