CAPE TOWN, Sept. 13.-It Is asserted
| in Afrikander circles here that the Trans
vaal government will accept the British
note, leaving the question of suzerainty
| on the basis Of the convention of 1894
The report as to the time limit of forty
eight hours arose from the fact that the
| British diplomatic agent at Pretoria,
| Conyngham Greene, in presenting Mr.
| Chamberlan's dispatch expressed hope
that reply would be given by the Trans
vaa1 government by Thursday.
The Cape Times and the Cape Argus
| both consider the British note generous
and conciliatory, and all the papers, in
| cluding the Krugerite organs, assume
! that the Transvaal will comply with the
British demands.
| 1t is believed that the Orange Free
State volksraad will be summoned to
! consider the situation.
Military developments continue and the
work of preparing for emergencies goes
| on.
Upon the arrival of the next batch Of
British troops the headquarters staff Of
| the royal artillery will be transferred to
Kimberly, whittier battery will proceed
to protect the diamond mines.
A dispatch from Pietermaritzburg, capi-
| tai of Natal, says that the outlanders'
council expresses great dissatisfaction
with the British note, claiming that the
imperial authoEities are willing to accept
| inadequate concessions in order to avoid
| war.
CALMER IN PRETORIA.
PRETORIA Sent 19-A oopo1o11pioo tion
has been received from the imperial gov
| ernment stating that although anxious
for prompt reply, the imperial authori-
! ties do not desire to tie the Transvaal
/ authorities down to forty-eight hours
| The reply will possibly come before the
J volksraad tomorrow. The decision of the
executive will undoubtedly be influenced
by the action of the Orange Free State.
The government is still willing to attend
| the joint commission originally proposed.
The Transvaal war Office denies any
| knowledge of the reported offer of 10000
! Irish-Americans to fight against Great
Britain.
| The imperial government, when esti-
mating that it did not desire to fix a time
| limit, pointed out that its chief desire was
only for reasonable promptness in order
to put an end to the tension
1t is understood that President Kruger
is awaiting the arrival from Blomfontein
of Mr.. Fisher, of the Orange Free State
executive council, before drafting his
reply.
BRITONS ENDORSE NOTE.
LONDON, Sept. 1.-THE Times regards
Mr.. Chamberlain's dispatch as Clear,
resoute and earnest, without being per,
emptory, not necessarily an ultimatum.
but prelude to an ultimatum should the
TransvaaPs reply prove unfavorable."
This fairly represents the feeling of the
London morning papers to-day. Even
the Daily Chronicle, which is virtually
pro-Kruger in its sympathies, urges the
Beers to accept "the imperial govern
ments' reasonable demands, which
threaten no Interior danger to the inde.
| pendence of the Transvaal."

CONsIN, IN DISCUSSING PUR-
CHASE OF PHILIPPINES
MUST FIGHT IT OUT now
so LONG AS THERE is ARMED RE.
SISTANCE TO AMERICANS THERE
IS NO RETREAT
PREDICAMENT UNFORTUNATE

Proposition to Keep the Philippines
as Part of the United States, Says
the Governor, Is Contrary to All
Principles of This Free Country
People Should Be Ready to Meet
Issue at the Polls.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Sept. 13-Gov
Scofeld addressed a large crowd of peo-
pie at the state fair grounds today, the
occasion being state day at the fair The
governor devoted a considerable portion
of his remarks to the Philippine ques-
ton, taking occasion to criticise the policy
Of the administration. On the subject of
the Philippines, the governor spoke as
follows:
II was among those who did net be-
lieve this country should be pressed into
a war with Spain. I still believe that
that war might have been averted had it
not been for undue pressure on the part
of some of the members of congress The
present trouble has como as natural
outgrowth Of the other, and our first
duty i'll the premises is to accept the
responsibility. 1t is the extreme of folly
to talk of withdrawing our troops from
the Philippines al the present time We
have certain duties to perform, one is
to suppress tnsurrection and to that end
an army large enough to do it promptly
should be furnished; and the next is to
see to it that as rapidly as possible a
stable government for the people of that
country is established.
"The president of the United States,
whose conduct from the beginning of the
unpleasant contrversy with Spain up to
the present time has been digni6ed and
statesmanlike, has recently expressed
some views concerning our future re!a-
tions to those far-off islands which seem
to ME to be significant If the papers
have quoted the president directly as
saying the Philippine islands belong to
this country by right of purchase, and by
this is meant that when the insurrection
is suppressed those islands shall become
part Of United States territory: and il
the policy Of the war while it is in prog
ress is to be shaped to that end, believe
very serious mistake may be made l
do not think that this country should
attempt to attach TO itself a territory
thousands of miles away, and an alien
race, that it would take centuries to
analgamate With ours
I'VE are under sacred obligations to
these people growing our of the progress
Of events UP to this time, tut cannot
believe that these involve the attempted
assimilation of o people and territory
with whom we have nothing in common.
However, our future policy as to those
Stands Will be settled by the people: ana
the present duty of all patriotic citizens
is to warmly support the efforts Of the
administration to suppress insurrection
and establish peace. In lha meantime let
every intelligent citizen give earnest
thought to the problem of our future
policy as to that territory, to The end
that when the question conlrs before us
we shall be ready to meet it.

BRIBERY CASES.

London, December 10. The supreme
court handed down a decision in the
bribery case of Attorney General Monet
against the Standard Oil company.
1t will be remembered that the attorney
general furnished information to the effect
that he was approached by Charles Squire
of New York with bride of 100000 il
he would permit the cases pending against
the Standard Oil company to go by de-
fault. 1t was claimed that Mr.. Squire was
the representative of r. b. Squire, secre
tary of the Standard Oil company, Frank
Haskell and Frank Rockefeller, son of
the president of the compny.
The court dismissed the cases on the
ground that the information does not con-
meet the Standard Oil company with the
