Refused Clearance Papers by Brit

WASHINGTON, Sept, 1s.-The army
transport Tartar, is detained at Hong
Kong by the British authorities. A
private cable message from Hong Kong
says that complaint was made by the 400
discharged regulars on board the Tartar
of overcrowding. whereupon clearance
was refused.
The Twentieth Kansas volunteer in
fantry, with Gen. Funston, Is on board
the Tartar, but 1t Is understood that the
volunteers make no complaint and are
anxious to have clearance granted the
ship in order that they may proceed
homeward
The Tartar sails under the British
flag. It Is said that under these condi-
tions she is subject to the British naviga-
ton laws, as being chartered by the
United States does not entitle her to
American registry. The British consul
can determine whether she complies with
the British navigation laws, and If she
does not he has authority to unload her.

this afternoon that the Tartar matter
had been referred to Ambassador Choate.

PEACE IS RESTORED.

The scandal in the camp of the South
Dakota regiment has been hushed. The
prediction made by Congressman Gamble
that the trouble would be amicably set
tied and that no obstacle would arise to
an early muster out, has come true, and
the situation is now all that the best
friends of the regiment could expect
congressman Gamble and Burke, Rail-
road Commissioner La Toilette, Gov. Lee
and other officials here were instrumental
in effecting satisfactory adjustment of
the matter. The three officers under ar
rest have written letters of apology to
Col Frost; have been released from re-
straint and have rejoined their COM
mands.
Gov. Lee, when seen today, would not
discuss the appointments soon to be made
in the regiment Under the new army
bill another major is to be appointed, and
besides. the adjutant and quartermaster
are to be made captains instead of first
lieutenants. A commssary officer, with
the rank of captain, three battalion adiu-
tants with the rank of first lieutenant are
also to be appointed. Then the vacancy
caused by the resigna ton of Lieut.. Hawk
ms. of Company B, is to be filed. The
majors place will be filled by either Capt.
Engelsby, of Company II, or Capt Won
Routen, of Company D. Friends of both

WORKING ON ROLLS
The officers of the North Dakota regi-
ment are rushing work on the muster-out
rolls and are rapidly getting them in
shape for the government officers. With
the exception of the men who are detail

for kitchen service, the men are doing
absolutely nothing except putting on fat.
The sick report has fallen off to almost
nothing and the men are in the best of
health and spirits.
The last member of the North Dakota
delegation left for Bismarck this morn

had remained behind in the hope that
there would be some promotions in the

that none would be made, and he and
Mrs. Miller left accordingly this morning.

NOVEL PROPOSITION.
w. BOurke COckran's Suggestion as
to TransvaaI Trouble.

NEW YORK, Sept. 13.-Ex-Congress-
man w Bourke Cochran has written on
open letter to President Mckinley about
the Transvaal. The letter in part is as
follows:
1T can hardly be questioned that a
proffer of friendly mediation by you
would suffice to delay, if not to prevent
the threatened invasion of the Transvaal
A recourse to arms, which might result
in kindling fearfully destructive con-
fiagration throughout Christendom, on
such questions as those at issue between
Great Britain and the Boer republic
would be an injury to civilized society
which all the forces cf civilization should
combine to resist. a friendly but urgent
tender of your good offices would un-
doubtedly evoke a full and complete
statement of the grounds on which the
peace and integrity of the Transvaal are
threa tened. Such a statement would be
a powerful obstacle to hostilities for it
would enable the civilized world to form
a judgment on the merits of the contro-
versy, and in all probability that iudg-
ment would impose itself on both dispu
tants. Public opinion is a force which in
these days no nation can disregard.
