 SUNDAY.
THE CHICAGO GLEE CLUB

 Choir Enlarged,
RIVERSIDE cHURciI.

Rev. J. +. Carr, of Riverside church, took for his sermon Sunday "Fhe Captive Maid" In part h9 said:
 Tine captive maid proved herself a blessing in her masters home. Ma nan was leper. She pointed him to IsraePs prophet and by him was restored to health. A lesson i'll this is position from any source does not exempt humanity from suffering. While Nanan was brave and true as captive of the victorious host of the Syrian Army, yet was leper.
 Another lesson is that God uses the small Ethings to conf0und the mighty. This lsraeIitish girl armed by the faithful teachings of home and conservation to the God of her father was a ble to lead u militia " chieftain to one who could give life and health. So, God does not require of us the performance of great things. but as material things are composed of small things, so life is made up of little things so that all may have an opportunity of being useful, in some sha pc great or small.

 Rev. ". D. Buckner. of the Trinity Episcopal church, delivered himself of a sermon in the morning and one in the evening, pertaining to St. Matthews gospel. His text was from the chapter .S-29 verse ,. In part he said;
 The lesson we are taught from St. Matthew t gospel is one applica- bic to everyday life. The founda- ton of the church has been built upon rock and not on sand. When we consider how la sting one is. compared to the other, we feel that every day life plays an impor- tant part in the gospels written by ministers of God.

ria, but there was no redress. BY 1896
the Outlanders were paying to the Boer
government a revenue of 100000 an
nually, which consisted almost entirely
in tax on mining.
Then a number of prominent English
and American miners formed in johann
nesburg what has passed into history as
the National Reform Union Committee,
of which Lionel Phillips was chairman,
and John Hays Hammond, an American,
an officer. They were in communication
with Cecil Rhodes, resident director of
the British South Africa Company, and
Leander Starr Jameson, known as "Dr.
jim" What happened is Of too recent
occurrence and too sensational to have
passed from the memory of readers.
The first battle of the Jameson raid
occurred at Krugersdorp on Jan. l, 1896;
the second at Doornkop the day follow
! ing, when Jameson's already defeated
raiders were all captured by the Beers.
President Kruger turned over the raid
ers to the British Government, which
sentenced Jameson to fifteen months in

terms, after making them the heroes of

ish ideas that soon the Beers had two
great grievances against rneir rulers.
The Dutch French colonists ouarraled
with the English continually, and num-
bers of them ''treked" or tracked north
ward in search of farming lands. Tha;r
first settlements were in Natal, but from
there also the English drove them. and
then they "treked" into the Transvaol
where, on an unpromising upland. 5000
feet above the sea level, they became
Boers-'farmeIs." There they hoped the
British would leave them alone and tbair
hopes might have been realized had NOT

seen in its true proportions. The Beers
We're the original European settlers of
South Africa. OF Dutch descent, they
had sturdy qualities, which their life in
the savage lands only served to make
sturdier, They were farmers from the
first, and by the sweat of the negro races
they grew in wealth. The English took
definite possession of the Cape in 1914,
and the English immigration then began
in such great waves that Holland em.
grants and Boer children could not keen
up the balance of power. The situation
was much such as exists now in rho
Transvaal, where the Uitlanders ONT

that then the Beers were actually and
not merely nominally subjects of Great
Britain. The English rule was autocrot.

CARRIED BUBONIC PLAGUE.
SHIP ARRIVED IN NEW YORK.
She Was an English Boat From
BraziI-One Man Died at Sea-Sev-
eraI Are Sick-BOat VIII Not he
Allowed to Enter Port.

New York, Nov. 2O.-The British steam
er j. w. Taylor, from Santos, is detained
at quarantine under suspicion of having
bubonic plague among the crew. One
man died at sea with very suspicious
symptoms, and Captain Waters and the
ships cook are both sick. The Taylor
left Santos, Brazil, October "a, with full
cargo of coffee and sailed direct for this
port. On November l Robert Hope, aged
p years, the steward, was taken sick and
died on the 9TH. He was native of Eng
land. Hope was in the hospital at San
tos for about two weeks suffering from
eruption, thought to be eczema. He sail
ed with the steamer, and after several
days at sea complained of pains in his
head, legs and back. He was put to bed
in an exhausted condition, and on the
second day developed fever. The cap
tain treated him with such remedies az
the ships medical chest afforded and
nursed him with care until he died. On
arriving at quarantine the case was re-
ported to the health officers, and in view
OF the fact that the captain and cook who
were in constant contact with the sick
man, were both ailing the steamer is de-
tanned at quarantine for disinfection.
The disinfection steamer james w.
Wadsworth has been alongside the Taylor
since her arrival, disinfecting the officers
and crews and quarters and the clothing
and effects of the crew.
Dr. John B. Crosby, commissioner If
the city board of health, said;
Under no circumstances will the ship
be allowed to enter port even after it has
been disinfected. The coffee will be al.
lowed to be landed if the bags it is now
in will be burned and the coffee loaded in
bulk and then placed in new bags
believe that the roasting through which
the coffee must pass before it is used will
Kill the germs. 1t is almost impossible
to disinfect ship, and should there be
any danger of the spreading of the disease
would suggest the advisability of burn
ing the vessel, no matter what the cost
might be-"

the conditions for the present struggle,
for it is through them that Englishman
and Boer have been brought so close to-
gether. The Beers claim to be the lords
of the Transvaal country, and they per-
sist in regarding the foreign setters-the
Uitlanders-as temporary residents with
out real rights. Sharply opposed to this
view stands England, whose many sons
in Transvaal land have their immense in
vestments in mines and machinery and
demand a full share in the government
THE Transvaal for the Beers" is Presi-
dent kruger's cry, while the English
against it shout: Full rights, civil and
political, for our emigrants who settle in
your land"
The problem takes on many phases. hut
not one of them can clearly be under
stood without back reference to the his
tory of the relations of Beers and Eng
fish. The first form of the issue is over
the question of sovereignty. England is
asserting her suzerainty, while admitting
Boer independence in local affairs, and
Kruger is denying Englands claim Such
Is the history of the two that each can
fairly make its claim.
Sovereignty or no sovereignty would
not, however, be burning question was
l. i
more practical statement of the issue is
that it concerns the political franchise
rights which the Uitlanders now find il
so difficult to acquire and which Eng
land insists so strongly they shall secure
on reasonable conditions. 1t is on ac-
count of inability to agree on the terms
of the franchise, combined with views
about sovereignty, which leave no mid
die ground. that war came, but even The
franchise is only an incident in securing
what the English really want. Sir Al
fred Miner, who has been the foremost
English agent in negotiations with the
Beers, has said that he insisted on the
franchise merely because ne thought il
would help the Uitlanders to secure FOL
themselves what they need, and because
he thought an agreement could be reach
ed concerning it more easily than con
corning the many reforms in Boer law,
which are the real objections to be at

muted to fine and Imprisonment. Both
the Beers and the British were fighting
mad. and everyone expected war would
follow between them, but it was averted
in curious manner.
Emperor William Of Germany sent a
cable message of sympathy to President
Kruger, and the enfant terrible of the
family of nations by this characteristic
act changed the whole situation. England
was so mad at William that for a time
she forgot or ignored Kruger. She as

Futile Negotiations.

Negotiations went on slowly after this.
The British demands formulated them
selves as a fve-year period for admission
to full burghership and an increase of the
representation of the mining districts in
the raad to one-ffth of the total number
of members.
4 bill embodying some Of these points
was considered by the yolksraad during
the early part of July. On the 10Th of
that month it was passed in form that
granted practically what President Kru-
ger had proposed at the BlOemfOnteln
conference.
Messages and diplomatic notes sent
back and forth after this brought out two
points of disagreement. President Kru-
ger insisted that if he made any conces-
sions to the Uitlanders it should be on
the distinct understanding that England
would not regard its interference as
precedent and would formally resign all
pretense of sovereignty. Secretary Cham
beriain would not listen to such sugges-
ton.
The other point of disagreement was in
regard to the assurances that any re-
forms made would not have multiplying
conditions attached to them. Secretary
Chamberlain began to insist that a Joint
committee of inquiry, made up of expert
delegates representing the Transvaal and
the British Government, be appointed to
investigate and be sure that all franchies
promises would be carried out.
Aug. q President Kruger declined to
take part in any such joint inquiry, but
offered a five-year franchise on condition

CO HE issue between the English and
the Beers is one as old as this cen
- fury. In many different forms, but
always with much the same ground of
quarrel at the bottom, it has reappeared
with each succeeding decade. Many
times the two peoples have met on the
battlefield and when war itself has not
existed rumors of war between them
have been current. Wherever the Eng
1shman and the Boer have had their
common interests in one territory strife
has been sure to come, for the qualities
and ideals of the two are widely dissim-
Har.

are the material facts that have caused

the Beers, but their thrift did not de-
sert them and although they avoided
mining and stuck to their farms, they
found many means to derive national
revenue from the Uutlanders or "out-
siders." The government, under Presi-
dent Kruger, levied transport dues,
stamp taxes, license fees. franchise costs
customs and monopoly charges on such
mining necessity as dynamite.

Trouble Not Remcdied.

But the trouble in the Transvaal was
not remedied. War talk was heard from
time to time in the Transvaal as well as
in England and in August, 1897, Presi-
dent Kruger, in an address to the volks-
raad openly denied that England pos
sessed any rights of sovereignty over the
country.
In March last Joseph Chamberlain
brought the Transvaal situation promi-
nently before the House of Commons.
He said that President Kruger had prom.
ised reforms but that none of his pro.
posals would be satisfactory. In another
speech during the same month he defined
the right of intervention in the Trans
vaal which England had, limiting it ia
cases in which the convention of 1884
had been violated, or in which English
subjects had been treated in such man
ner as would give cause for Intervention
if they were residents of some indepen-
dent foreign country, as France or Ger
many.
March "a a petition. which had beer
signed by over 10000 British subjects in
the Transvaal, was forwarded to the
British Government through Conyngham
Greene, the British agent at Pretoria. II
dealt with political grievances only, and
aimed to show that the Beers were con.
tinually making existence harder for the
Uitlanders. A body known as the Tit.
lander council was formed and its com
munications with Sir Alfred Miner. GOV.
ernor Of Cape Colony, met with a favor.
able response. Negotiations, in the hone
of securing a settlement of the troubles
only resulted in producing a tirmer and
more emphatic assertion of his rights by
President Kruger.
No definite answer to the Uitlanders'
petition came until May 10, when Joseph
Chamberlain suggested a conference be-
tween Sir Alfred Miner and President
Kruger at Pretoria. President Steyn of
the Orange Free State at once invited
the two men to meet at his capital.
BloemfOntein, and a week later both ac-
cepted the invitation. The demand made
by Miner was that every foreigner who
had been a resident of the Transyaal five
years, and proposed to make it his per.
manent home, should be given full citi-
zenship, and that the distribution of rep.
resentatives of the volksraad should be
SO arranged that the Uitlanders, who
mostly live near johannesburg. should
have proper share in the government.
The best that President Kruger would
do was much less than this. He propos-
ed a two years residence prior to natu-
ralization, and then five years more be-
fore the granting of the full franchise.
He placed so many conditions around
even this offer that it was regarded with
much suspicion. The conference had no
practical result. President Kruger sug-
gested arbitration by a foreign power,
but owing to the British claim of sover-
eighty the commissioner could not con
sent to this.
