The Transyaal Situation.

LONDON, Sept, 15.-Much, if not
all, depends on the Beers re-
ply which is still being de
hated in the Transvaal Rsai. A re-.
fusa to accede to Great Rritain's de-
mands would not necessarily mean in
slant hostilities, as time would have to
be taken while England sent genuine
ultimatum. However, oil adverse r.
ply from Kruger will make diplomatic
retreat most difficult. The greatest &C.
tivity continues in military circles here
and the recruiting offices are crowded.
The Times today prints dispatch
which forecasts the Beers reply IS I'M
favorable. 1t says the Beers are ready
to move Oh the frontiers as soon as the
reply is sent to London.
Manchester, EGG, Sept. 15.-The

graphs that he believes Kruger's reply

lions ct issue be submitted to arbitra.
ton. If war results, it will be because
Of England's refusal TO arbitrate and a
forcible assertion by that country TO
Judge its own case.

HANGED for HIGHWAY Robbery.

Richmond, Va, Sept. Is the first
hanging that ever occurred in Virginia
for the crime of highway robbery took
place at Pulaski today. Noah Finley, a
colorei giant, long notorious as man
of desperate character, few weeks ago
held up Maj ] H. Darst, prominent
merchant OF Dublin, on the way from
his store to his house. He handled
Darst roughly and fred at him three
times, when he broke away from the
robber. Before the night was over Fin
ley was captured on train at Radford.
He was tried at Pulaski. Only the as
surance that the law would act prompt
IL restrained the citizens when Finley
was brought to Pula~ki. The jury was
slow in reaching verdict, and they
were given to understand that if they
did not hang Finley the mob would.
Since then considerable pressure has
been brought to bear on the governor
to respite the negro. He refused yes
5erday to interfere on the ground that
the trial was fair, the verdict according
to law, and that not one mitigating cir
cumstance had been made known to
him. Finley was regarded as des
perado and had been convicted OF other
crimes.
A large crowd was present at the hargng
today together with a large number OF
armed officers and everything passed off
quietly. finley was perfectly calm and SEEM
cd resigned to his fate.

from Manila.

Manila, Sept. 10 The latest reports
received by Gen Otis regarding the
Filipino congress were to the effect that
toe body had become disrupted. Sew
ers members are in Tarlac, the rebel
capital, awaiting the expected capture
of the town by the American forces.
General Schwan said today in reference
to q report that the congress had re-
piled to the offer o. autonomy, 10 the
effect that American sovereignty might
have been recognized by the Fllipinos
had il not been ihat the Americans en-
!ertsined race prejudices against the
Flipinos, that no such reply had been
receiuad

THE Union Veterans Uoion has pre-
pared aud will ask Congress to enact a
bill to provide per diem service pen.
sion for all ex Union soldiers, in adcl-
ton to the pensions they are now IL
ceiving. This is certainly a stranee,
eventful age. Until now it has been
supposed possible that anything could
be run into the ground, but the pension
business has given that ID an efiec ual
quietus. At the present lick, the num-
Der of tax eaters will soon exceed the
number OF tax payers. The rich will
not mind this, as taxes are little or
nothing to them, but to the poor it is 3
very different matter.

NEARLY all the disinterested dele

Chicago take strong ground against the
protective tariff, IS prolific engenderer
and promoter OF trusts. The future

THERE ARE trusts and trusts, out
though the cotton planters of the South
could practically have the whole cotton
trade of the world in their own hands.
they have, so far at least, failed to avail
themselves OF their facilities for Great
lug a trust by means of which they
like the proprietors of all other trust.,
could increase the prizes of their pred
uct, and thereby derive some pr, f
from their expended capital and labor
But concerted action upon any thi, 6
else than politics is something of which
the people of the South seem to pe :
capable.

THERE ARE about twelve millior
people in the Philippine Islands, 9 :
vided into many different tribes, but
all deserted in the old Biographies as
Malays, as they are. But the admit :
tration says its negro aud white soldier II
will sweep them with the bosom OF d.
struction as soon as the rainy season
shall be over. Twelve million of pee.
pie who can live and grow fat on rio
and who are fighting for their ov n
homes, are hard to subdue, especially
so, when, as Professor Schurman, tire
chief of the Philippine commission, tells
the President, none of them is friendly
to the Americans.

inglon yesterday of the Grand Council
of Red Men reports were received from
the committees on degree of Pocehon-
tas, appeals, mileage, and per diem,
and from the judiciary committee,
which last has not quite finished its
business before the council. A change
was made in the method of representa-
ton from each State. Heretofore the
representation was limited to one dele
gate for each 600 embers, but from
now on there will only be one delegate
for each 1900, the total number not to
exceed eight.
At 2 o'clock the members repaired to the
White House, where a special reception was
given to the Bed Men by President McKin
ley.
The session was resumed at 4 o'clock and
continued until g. 1t is expected that the
council will finish its deliberations today.
The Washington tribes rendered the visit
ing members of the Great Council an excur-
sion to Marshall Hall lsst evening.

payers shouldn't be able to stand the
additional expense, raise the requisite

Mr.. WAsHBURN of Minnesota, like
Mr. Havemeyer of New York, al d
many other wis men, thinks the spee'-

trusts may be crippled, if not suppress

is no doubt of the fact t5at the protee-
tive tariff is the great eneenderer a. d

natural to suppose that the removal Of
