Gus schools, and members of the faculty.

of coincidence and sympathy and closed

After year of postgraduate work he was

WILL HELP ENGLAND.
United states Consuls Will Look After
British Interests in the
Truusya0l.

WASHINGTON, oct. lit is practically
settled that the United States will look af-
ter the interests Of Great Britain in the
Transvaa! in the event of war. Although
Great Britain, up to q late hour to-day.
had made no formal request for such ac-
tion on the part of the United States. it is
believed that there is Il perfect understand
ing to that effect between the representa-
lives OF the two governments.
Mr.. Tower. the British charge d'afaires,
had another conference with Acting Sec
retary Hill at the state department to-day,
at which it is believed an understanding
was reached.
The United States Representatives in the
Transvaal, and also in the British colony
of Natal and Cape Colony. well as the
ccnsuls III the Free State, will be very busy
men in the event of an outbreak Of hos
tiities. for in addition to the British in
terests which will be Connded to their
care. their first attention must be direct
ed TO those Of American citizens These
are by no means incOnSiderable in extent
and value. The best information that the
state department has been able to gather
tends to show that there are no less than
l.CnJ American citizens in the Transvaal
and Free State alone. These Americans
are as d rule mon Of standing, represent-
ing in many cases great american manu-
featuring and exporting concerns, as well
as being charged with supervision over
the interests OF American capitalists who

fields to the extent of many millions of

MAY NOT BE ABLE TO VOTE.
Twentieth Arrived n Little Too Early
and n Little Too Late


TOPEKA, Oct. 11.-(SpeciaD Unless
some satisfactory agreement is entered in
30 between the various political parties of
the state. many of the Twentieth Kansas
volunteers Will be deprived from voting
at the coming election in November.
large majority of the volunteers come from
first ard second class towns. where the
registration law applies. and 1t will be i'm
possible for them to get back IN time
to register for the fall election The
only way they can legally vote would be
TO stay in Frisco and not be mustered out
until after the election. There is a spc-
cial Kansas law which gives volunteer SOL
diers the, right to vote while they are in
the service. 1t was under this law that
the Kansas boys voted last year while
sailing across the Pacific ocean. But there
Is no law that permits private citizen
away from home to vote, and when the
regiment IS mustered out the boys will all
| be private citizens. They, therefore, can't
vote i'll Frisco or on the train while home
ward bound. Neither can they vote if they
| live in a first or second class town with
out registering. The registration books close
ten days before election. This shuts them
out completely
| y plan has been suggested by the Repub-
| licans, however, which. If adopted by all
parties. would solve the problem. 1t is
| to waive the law and permit the soldiers 10
vote upon the exhibition of their discharge
papers and proof of residence to the judges
| of the election. The Republicans are anX-
| ious for the volunteers TO vote. and they
| would willingly enter into an agreement
Of this kind. Just what the other parties
| win do is a question. 1t is thought that
none will dare oppose such a plan. but
all must consent 10 1t before it can go
| through.
| Probably 900 of the regiment live in
| country precincts. In those instances no
| registration Is required, and If the boys
get home in time there will be no ques-
ton about their right to vote. Ii IS only
! in the first and second class cities where
| they are likely to be cheated out of their
| votes
The election takes place on November I.
| General Shafter says that 1t Will take at
| the least calculation three weeks to mus
ter out the regiment. That Will keep the
regiment in Frisco until November l. 1t
will take four days to make the trip 10
| Kansas. One day win be spent in Topeka.
so the boys will not get to their homes
until about the day before election.
