District Mem Do Not COMPLAIN.

District Mem Do Not Complain.
AS stated. the District of Columbia has
no complaint whatever to make regarding
the failure to win the Hilton match. The
District team was defeated purely and
simply because it did not shoot as well as
did it's competitors. And there is a reason
for all this. When it first engaged in com
petitive rife shooting the District began
the organization of a brigade team. The
work of organization was continued year
after year and the Hilton trophy was taken
to Washington four times. The District
team in 1895 established the worlds record
in the match. the score being 1.O87.- It
won the trophy again In 1895. but in 1897
did not enter the competition. Last year
there was no meeting. Since 1896 the ma
jority of the brigade team members have
severed their connection with the National
Guard through discharge and removal from
the District. . The team this year was an
entirely new organization. the majority of
the men never having shot before in a big
match.

RIGHT TO HOLD UP TREATIES.
Extent of England's Suzerainty Over
the Transvaal Republic.


AS the assertion Of suzerainty by Great
Britain over the Transvaal republic is now
come to be the main object of contention
and the most dangerous element in the sit
uations, it may be of some interest to re-
cord the fact that just before the devel-
opment Of the present crisis between Great
Britain and the little republic our govern
ment had occasion to examine into the ex-
tent of the suZerainty claimed by Great
Britain and the soundnesS of the claim. 1t
was found that. admitting the assertion,
the extent of control claimed by Great
Britain over the Transvaal under existing
conventions was limited to narrow sphere.
namely, that of passing upon treaties ne
gotiated by the republic. 1t is not claimed
that the Transvaal may not negotiate
treaties with foreign nations, but simply
that Great Britain may exercise a veto
power in case the treaties appear to in
juriously affect British interests.

NJ. Demange pointed out that the Dreyfus
