The African 1epublic's Curt Answer
to British Protest.

The African 3epublic's Curt Answer
to British Protest.
Bloemfontein, Orange Free State,
June 2.-Among the most important
points that President Paul Kruger Of
the Transvaal republic, and Sir Alfred
Miner governor of Cape Colony and
British high commissioner for South
Africa, will have to discuss at their
conference here in regard to the de-
mands Of the Outlanders will be the
question of the dynamite monopoly.
under which the Outlanders are groan-
ing, and which the British secretary
of state for the colonies, Mr.. Joseph
Chamberlain, has used his utmost en-
deavors to remedy But blue book
on the subject, issued last night, shows
that matters in this connection have
practically reached deadlock.
The blue book opens with a letter
from Mr. Chamberlain, dated Jan. 10,
reviewing the whole question and pro.
testing that the monopoly was incon-
sistent with the London convention.
To this the Transvaal government re-
piled, under date of March 9, con-
troverting the arguments Of Mr.. Cham
berlain and stating that her majesty's
government was not entitled to a pro-
test
Mr. Chamberlain on April p, how
ever, renewed the British protest, adj
ding that her majesty's government re-
serves it's rights. In answer to this
the 1ransvaal government replied, OIL
May 20, with two curt sentences, to
the effect that 1t abided with the view
expressed in its communication o.
March 8.

Evidence Of the Worst Form OF Vice
Existing in New York.


Existing in New York.
New York, June 1.-The sessions of
the Mazet committee yesterday were
noticeable chiefly for two points, one
the turning at bay of Mr.. Moss, and the
other evidence regarding the existence
in this city of the most frightful form
of depravity. Neither incident took up
much time, by far the greater part OF
the sessions being devoted to the ex-
animation of President Feitner and
Commissioner Sheehy, both of the tax
board. Their evidence merely went to
show the long established inefiicacy OF
the system Of personal taxation, and
revealed nothing sensational.
Mr.. Moss opened the session with an
outburst of indignation against the
way In which witnesses had treated
him. He demanded the protection OF
the committee, and announced his in.
tention Of bringing Police Captain
Price before the committee to make
him prove the charges he made on
Wednesday against Mr.. Moss. During
this heated appeal from the commit
tees counsel DR.. O'Sullivan, who ap-
pears for the city departments, fire.
quently interrupted, and in intense
anger Mr.. Moss demanded that DR..
OSullivan be denied the privilege OF
participating in the proceedings. Mr..
Mazet upheld Mr.. Moss, and DR.. O'Sul-
Ivan was rebuked, but allowed to re-
main In the committee room.
The evidence Regarding the fragrant
existence of the worst forms of vice
was given by two of Mr.. Moss agents.
1t established the fact that under the
eyes of the police there were running
on the Bowery the vilest of resorts,
patronized nightly by persons of the
lowest social standing.

Orr day more and then the cleo

has been busily engaged in build

majority of over 500 for himself.
If he does win, he will not have to

without party organ. The Single

have been lying low and evidently

by a few disgruntled men who are
too good for the old parties and
therefore form ones of their own.
