JOHN BULL EMlTS A GROWL.
Great Britain VIII Tolerate No Play
From Kruger


From Kruger
BIRMINGHAM, Eng, Juno rs -
Joseph Chamberlain, secretary OF
state for the colonies, addressing the
Unionists OF this city, reviewed care
fully the T~ransvaal question.
In the course OF his speech he said
that, owing to the enormous military
preparations OF the government OF
the South African republic. Great
Britain had been compelled to increase
the British garrison in Cape Colony
and Natal, entailing nm additional ex.
penditure Of 81. 500, 600 annually.
After ~denouncing in the strongest
terms the attitude and actions OF the
Beers, Mr.. Chamberlain, with great
~dcliberation and emphasis, added:
THE Transvaal's enormous secret
service fund has procured 1t friends
and advocates In every country. The
way the British subject there is treat
ed Is not only u menace to them all,
but interferes with our prestige
among the natives, who now regard
the Beers and not the British as the
paramount power.
Besides the breaches Of the London
convention, the T%ransvaal is fragrant
ly violating the equality that conven-
ton was intended to secure. Its
misgovernment is a fostering sore,
poisoning the whole atmosphere of
South Africa. The Dutch in Cape
Colony and Natal would be In the hap
piest condition, but SO long rs the
disease OF hatred and suspicion pre-
walls in the Transvaal, IL Is impossible
to stop the contagion.
-Four times since independence was
granted we havs been on the verge of
war with the Transvaal. I. Is erron-
eous to say the British government
wants war; but it is equally errone-
GUS to say that the government will
draw back, now that II has put its
hand to the plow.
I've hope tho efforts that are now
being made will lead to an amicable
arrangement, for Great Britain only
desires justice, but there comes a time
when patience can hardly be distin-
guished from weakness, and when
moral pressure becomes u farce that
cannot be continued without loss of
self-respcct. / trust that time may
never come In this instance, but IL 1t
does, Britons will insist upon the
means to find a result essential to the
peace of South Africa"
The speech was warmly applauded.
In reply to a vote of thanks, Mr..
Chamberlain said he felt strengthened
and encouraged by their confidence
and support Lie had spoken from
the heart, because he believed they
had reached q critical turning point
in the history of the empire. and that
the whole world was watching to see
how they would issue from the Diff
Guilty. 1T Is my belief" said he, in
closing, that the country will show
itself not unworthy Of it's glorious
history ard traditions"

DEATH OF EDMUND RYAN

The friends of Edmund Ryan, who
died at Natick, will read with interest
this obituary from the Citizen of that
town. Mr.. Ryan was we'll known in this
city. His brother is the clerk at the
Commonwealth hotel:
Mr.. Ryan was born in Stowe, and was
in his 44th year of age; he was the son
of John and Anastatia (Gilber) Ryan,
both of whom have gone before him.
He was a member in good standing of
the A. o. H. and knights of Columbus.
Since youth Mr.. Ryan has been most
industrious citizen and in his business
enterprise has displayed that shrewd-
ness which all admire when accompan-
led by honesty as in his case. He pos
sessed the perfect confidence of all who
dealt with him and it was his character
istic expression, 1T is just as I tell
you"
When a mere boy he assisted David
Fiske in conducting a profitable livery
business and at one time sought the &C.
cupation of a butcher Later he drifted
into the stable business for himself and
was a partner for some time with Lana
gan under the firm name of flanagan &
Ryan. He quickly saw that he was the
moving spirit in the business and con-
sequently a dissolution of co-partner-
ship ensued and for some time he car
ried on a successful business alone. De-
string to branch out he entered into
partnership with Edward Lackey and
for the past five and one-half years the
firm has carried on a thriving business.
At one time Mr.. Ryan followed the &C.

shout;

thing dropped on the floor, he picked
that something up. 1t was the missing

Instead of putting the money in his
fob pocket he had mechanically slipped
it in between his trousers and under

after making many apologies. :,

WITHIN HER RIGHTS.
Monsieur Delcasse Says
British We're Justified in
Stopping Ship.

Paris, Nov. 24.-In the chamber of
deputies, today, during the discussion
of the foreign estimates, Count Monta-
que, conservative, asked for explana-
lions as to the incident of a British
cruiser stopping and boarding French
steamer, the Cordoba, in DeIagoa bay.
NJ. Delcasse, the minister of foreign
affairs, replied that it was not an isol-
ated case. Belligerents, during a war,
he explained, had the right to ascer-
tain the nationality of any vessel, and,
he added, if the British cruisers only
did this, they had acted within their
rights.
Turning to the situation in China
and the recent incidents in Kwang-
Chau- Wan provinces, the minister re-
viewed the concessions obtained by
other nations, and said Frances share
had been inferior to Great Britain's,
adding: I'VE took what we think is
the most convenient spot. But we
must husband our resources, for efforts
in our vital interest render it neces-
sary Our immense empire and coun-
tries in China ought to keep us from
complications which might cost us
dearly Our zone of influence lies be-
yond the Tonkin. The point in dis
pute is in poor province, but what is
Important to us has been that China
has undertaken not to yield the neigh
boring provinces to the influence of any
one power"
Referring to the Transvaal, the for
eign minister said he favored media
ton and arbitration, but did not deem
it opportune to take the initiative, as
the powers had not yet signed The
Hague protocol.
Touching upon the lingering news
paper articles as to the Fashoda affair,
the minister said
Some papers make it a business of
dwelling on national humiliation. The
decision, which it was quite justified in
doing, and a subsequent tribunal, gave
France vast territory and consolidated
our African empire. The government s
adversaries wish France to be power
full in Europe and insist that she ought
to intervene everywhere. They un-
ceasingly demand territorial aggrand-
cement, as If we did not have already
an immense colonial empire to de-
velop."
Abiding to the commercial agree
ment with the United States, NJ Del
casse said: There, by a,clear and sim
pie policy, we have acquired the
friendship of a great nation"
