PRESERVING CLIFF DWELLINGS.
Movement to Turn Colorado Region
Into a National Park.

From the Denver Republican.
AS result of a meeting held Mon
day night at the residence of Henry
Van Kleeck, a bill making the cliff
dwellings region in the southwestern
part of Colorado a national park will
in all probability be introduced at
the next converting of congress. Con-
gresham John F. Shafroth. Judge
George L. Sumner, Booth Malone and
DR.. Camden NJ Cobern, with the host,
constituted the meeting. Congressman
Shafroth went over the details of pass
ing such bill, and the other men pres
ent, all of whom have been on the
ground, recapitulated all they person.
ally gathered concerning the interesting
ruins below Durango. Granting that
the people living in the agricultural
country contiguous to the cliff dwell
ings made no objections to the setting
aside of the land containing these pre-
historic buildings, and he had received
almost an assurance that they would
not. Mr.. Shafroth saw no impeachment
in the way of passing the bill.
Maps and pictures of the ground
and ruins were carefully gone over and
studied. While the dimensions of the
area were not specified, it is thought
that 10 miles, running northeast and
southwest, by four or five miles wide.
will include the most important ground
without infringing on any precious
minerals or agricultural land. Mr..
Shafroth made copious notes to take
with him to Washington and will work
for the passage of the bill. He advises
that no appropriation be asked for in
the first measure. 1t will be sought to
make some provision for the caretak-
Ing of the ruins. Excavations must be
made scientifically and will be re-
stricted by license. Mr.. Shafroth will
try to enlist the interest of the Smith
sonian institution. The matter will be
pushed with all possible speed. At the
present time two large exploring par
ties of 100 members each are being or
ganized, one in San Francisco and one
in the East, to visit the Mancos can
yon and excavate in the ruins.

SEEMS TO Be YIELDING
A Radical Change in the Trans
vaal Crisis.
WILL NOT FORCE MATTERS
Concessions Ia Relation to Suzsrainty
Will Not Be Made-The Franchise
Will Not Be Brought With
Other Questions.

London, Sept. 1.-The present Trans
vaal crisis shows a radical change in
the diplomatic methods of the secretary
of state for the colonies, Mr. Chamber
lain. In the negotiations following the
Jameson raid. Mr.. Chamberlain was
properly criticised for the novel and in
discreet procedure of publishing diplo-
matte notes even before they had time
to reach the person to whom they We're
addressed
President Kruger OF the Transvaal re-
public has practically offered to con-
cede the demands of Sir Alfred Miner,
the governor of Cape Colony and Brit
ish high commissioner of South Africa,
regarding the question of franchise, but
only on condition of getting impossible
concessions regarding suzerainty.
Sir Alfred, in his conference with the
executive recently held at Bloemfontein,
told President Kruger in the plainest
language that, II do not intend to buy
the franchise with any other ques-
tons"
That remark represents the position
to-day The hopefulness lies in the fac.
that Kruger seems to be in a yielding
mood and that the imperial government
is not anxious to force matters I'M
duly.
The Spectator takes a sympathetic
view of the attitude of Premier Schrei-
ner of Cape Colony. 1t says he is in
very difficult position and his efforts to
keep the Dutch residents of Cape Col
ony in hand must not be misrepresented
or misunderstood. The situation, the
paper adds, is similar to that of the
doubtful states at the outbreak Of the
American civil war. What Schreiner
meant" says the Spectator by keep
ing the Cape neutral is keeping the
Cape Dutch from supporting the Beers,
a very loyal and sensible position"
