LIKELY TOT LISTEN
Believed Kruger Will Take the
Chance Salisbury Gives Him
to Retreat.
Governments New Proposal For a
Joint Commission Considered
Loophole.
IF the Promised Concessions Are
Carried Out ALI Will Be
Well

LONDON, July 31.-The Marquis Of
Salisbury having at last broken silence
on the Transvaal question in so decided
Q manner, it may be expected that
President Kruger will hardly be likely
to refuse to listen to the governments
new proposals for q joint commission to
examine the franchise bin. This pro-
posal meets varying criticism here.
Liberals are inclined to regard it as an.
other instance Of the incurabls tendency
of the Salisbury government to shelvs
every difficulty by referring Il to Q com.
mission. Mr.. Labouchers calls it a
climb down on Mr.. Chamberlain's part;
and undoubtedly il ssvors more Of Sal.
isbury than Chamberlain Others think
it q concession to the Transvaals oon-
tention that the matter should be re
ferred to arbitration All agree, how
ever, that it forms q practical bridge Of
which Kruger can avail himself to re.
tire from an impossible position.
Mr.. A. J. BslfouY, FIRST lord Of the
treasury and government leader in the
house-of commons, gave another strong
hint in the.commons, announcing ia rs-
ply to a question that in the unfortu-
nate event of war, there was no intention
to employ other than white troops.

soEoHs 70 nupcr1Bl lnrerssJs. AS regards
the racial feud growing out of the war,
race antagonim already existed and was
poisoning the community. The dsngerof
disaffecion in Cape Colony and the
Orange Free State was entirely due to
the action of the Transvaal. Il was not
a question Of Q five or seven years fran
chise, but Of the power and authority
of the empire and of the position Of
Great Britain in South Africa. Con-
tinuing, MI. Chamberlain said:
Cannot Back Down Now.
"We have undertaken the cause of
the Outlanders and are bound to see ii
through. We shall not rest until a con.
clusion satisfactory to US has been
reached I anticipate that the efforts
towards a settlement will be successful,
but we will not tie our hands in regard
to measures that may be necessary to
fulfill snticipations."
Mr.. Chamberlain justified imperial
Intervention because it was the right Of
every civilized power to protect its OWL
subjects; secondly, because Great Brit.
ain had the right of Intervention under

and, thirdly, because the convention

Nothing but the Almishty's Intervention
Can Prevent Bryan's Election.
JACKSON, Mo-, Aug. 1.-"Nothing
short of death can prevent Bryan from
being the next Democratic nominee and
nothing but Intervention Of the Al
mighty will prevent him from being
elected" declared Congressman Champ
Clark of Missouri. Democratic chances
of success have improved fully 90 per
cent in the past four months and are
now brighter than they have been in
any presidential campaign in the past
30 years. It is practically settled what
the party platform will be and it may
be outlined as follows:
"Re-enactment of the Chicago plat
form; declaration against expansion;
strong plank against trusts and other
forms of oppression; opposition to a
large standing army and advocacy of
economy in public expenses"

PREMIER'S PLAIN TALK.

Salisbury Discusses Transvaal Affairs In
the House Of Lords.
LONDON, July 31.-Ln the house of
lords the Earl of Camperdown called
attention to the Transvaal situation.
The Earl of Dunraven and others fol-
lowed, all declaring that any departure
from the recognized policy Of the gov
ernment would be an act of inestimable
danger to the position of Great Britain
not only in South Africa, but it might
shake the imperial existence Of Great
Britain itself.
The Earl of Selbourne, under secre-
tary for the colonies, made q statement
similar in purpose to that made In the
house of commons by MI. Chamberlain.
Lord Salisbury reminded the house
that he absolutely dissented from the
policy of 1881, which was tainted with
grave fault of optimism. Nevertheless
President Kruger assented in the proto-
col of the 1881 convention to friendly
cooperation Of the races, while he has
since taken an absolutely opposite line,
his only effort being to separate the
English and South African govern.
ments and to reduce the Engliah to the
status Of q subjugated race.
The premier declared that If the lat
est concessions were genuinely carried
out the government might look for
ward to q peaceful solution Of the chi
sis. Her majesty's government, he
said, had put their hands to the plow
and certainly did not intend to with
draw them.

BOYCOTT AT WORK.

Those Who Ride ON Cleveland Cars Find
Dimculty In Buying Provisions
CLEVELAND, Aug. 1.-The boycott
movement has reached a point where it
is almost impossible for any one who
rides on the Big Consolidated cars to
purchase the necessaries Of life. This
is especially true in the outlying dis
tricts of the city.
do you ride on the Big Consolidated
cars?' is the almost universal question
put to a would-be purchaser by the
merchants. IF the answer is in the af-
irmative, the customer is politely in
formed that he OF she cannot be served.
That the boycott has become a
most important factor in the Struggle
between the company and it's striking
employees, is now admitted on ell sides.
The Big Consolidated officials say
that the movement is bound to. fall of
it's own weight within Q few days
On the other hand the labor unions
declare that the boycott has just begun,
that when it reaches it's full scope all
classes and interests will be affected
Not only are the Big Consolidated
lines In Cleveland to be boycotted, but
all street railways and other properties
in other cities in which President Ever
EFT is in any way interested, the strike
leaders state, will also be reached and
taboed.
Beyond an outbreak in the Polish
settlement, which was promptly sup
pressed by the militia, the night passed
without serious trouble.
Many cars were stoned in the suburbs,
but so far as learned no one was in
jured. A mob which formed ON First
street, in the south end Of the city, was
dispersed by the militia with fixed bay
onets, and a number of the ringleaders
arrested. +.
Several Cleveland military companies
will probably be relieved from duty
during the day by Adjutant General
Axline. The troops which have been
brought here from other cities will be
retained until all danger of rioting is
past. Even then the outside companies
will be Withdrawn gradually.

have been three deaths from yellow
fever since Sunday and 80 cases are now
under treatment. Expert surgeons and
immune nurses are being installed and
rigid quarantine regulations enforced.
He does not think the disease will
spread beyond the home. The most
plausible theory of the introduction of
the disease is that the germs were i'm
ported on the transports that brought

GENERAL ALGER'S GOODBYE.

Retiring Secretary Replies TO Criticisms
Regarding management of the War.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2-One Of the
last official acts Of Secretary Alger be-
fore r~elinquishing his portfolio was to
prepare a statement covering several
matters regarding the conduct OF the
war which have been the subject of
criticism in the public press, particu-
larly with reference to the appointment
of staff officers in the volunteer army.
After referring at some length to the
small standing army at the time Of the
declaration Of wal and the immense
work accomplished in increasing the
fighting force to e75, 600 men, the secre-
tary continues:
From the criticisms referred to the
public might be led TO believe that the
volunteer army was differed by men
selected through political influence
with the secretary of war, by special
favor and
without Any Regard to Fitness
for the duties they were to perform. As
is well known the volunteer force, with
the exception Of three regiments of en-
gineers, three regiments Of cavalry and
ten regiments of immune infantry, vas
made up of regiments from the various
states, the officers Of which were all ap-
pointed exclusively by the governors Of
the respective states from which the
regiments came. The volunteer officers
appointed by the president numbered,
all told, 1,O32. OF this number AL
were taken from the regular army and
sol from civil life. The scarcity Of
regimental officers in the regular serv-
ice holding appointments in the volun-
teers for the recruiting and mastering
details) had 20 reduced their number
that to have taken a larger number for
service with the volunteers would have
Seriously Impaired the Efficiency
Of the regular regiments. For q little
over 1000 appointments made by the
president the number of applications
was over %, 600, and each application
was accompanied by a certificate of his
ability, and, in most instances. the
military service, either in the regular
army or a state organization, and not
infrequently in both. Of the number
appointed there were, for instance, 26
major generals, of whom 10 were taken
from the regular army and Z from civil
life. OF these seven all but one were
graduates of West Point military acad-
envy and all had distinguished them
selves in command during the Civil
war. Of brfgadier generals there were
100 appointed, GO from the regular army
and 36 from civil life. Those from civil
life had all seen service during the Civil
war or on our Western frontier, and
all had
Proven Themselves Competent

of war made these appointments, when

enough he caused the entiye list, with
the recommendations, to be compiled
and placed before the president for his
information. I would only have been
too glad to have had the honor of max
ing these appointments. No better or
more loyal set of men ever served their
country and their records were not only
a credit to the appointing power, but to
the country they served. There were
exceptions but that could not have been
foreseen. In every walk of life men
are found who cannot carry out salts
~factorily the work they have under
taken.
Regarding Expenditures.
Criticisms as to the amounts and
methods Of expenditures, which would
imply the wrong or careless use of
money, were also made. This charge
is false. So far as the conducs of the
service was concerned no person with
any knowledge of the facts can ever
charge truthfully and no one can ever
show that a dollar was misappropri-
ated, stolen or embezzled, out of the
hundreds of millions of dollars that
were expended.
THE records are an open book and I
would be glad to have them rigidly ex-
amined and ask my successor to open
these accounts to the country whenever
properly called for in order that the en-
tire truth may be known"
