ORANGE FREE STATES DECISION

"Thinas Arc Serious. But a Pence

Pretoria Sept 23.-President Kruger
has been In telegraphic conference
with President Steyn regarding the
situation, and the decision OF the raad
Of the Orange Free State is awaited
with interest II is understood that
the secret session will continue until
next week
Large numbers Of local Danes Ger
mans Frenchmen, Hollanders and
Americans have offered their services
to Commandant General Joubert in the
event Of hostilities.
The elder burghers still fail to see
the grounds Of a casus beN. but If
MIR. Chamberlain makes what they
would characterize as "humiliating de-
mands,' such as, for instance, dis
armament, war would be inevitable.
A green book has been issued con-
tanning the report of State Attorney
SHUTS to the government on the pour
parlers between himself and the Brit
ish diplomatic agent, Mr.. Conyngham
GlGtue, ltdulIE 10 luG conditional NNe
years franchise proposal
Mr.. Smuts asserted that the pro-
posal was the result OF a private dis
cussion and an arrangement that both
governments should informally decide
about the offer and its acceptance be-
fore the offer should be formally sub
mitted. He also contends that the
exact draft of the offer was wired to
the British high commissioner Sir Al
fred Miner and that the imperial
government sent a dispatch to Mr.
Greene. which the latter interpreted
as an acceptance of the offer.
Mr. SHUTS says that had the Trans
yaal known any difficulty would be
made about suzerainty his government
would never had made the proposals,
but would probably have Immediately
accepted the invitation to a joint COM
mission of inquiry regarding the seven
year proposal. He also denies that he
promised Mr.. Greene that the new
members of the raad would be allowed
to speak English. All he said on this
subject, he declares, was that the mat
ter would easily settle itself, and he
shows that, in the telegram to Sir AL
fred Miner, no mention was made OF
this subject.
The government denies that State
Attorney SHUTS has informed Mr. Con
yngham Greene that further British
mobilization will be regarded as an
unfriendly act.
Mr.. f. W. Reitz, the state secretary,
says that when martial law is pro-
claimed it will apply to the whole
country.
Mr., Reitz has replied to an applica-
tion made by certain outlanders to re-
main in Johannesburg in the event of
war that all who desire may do so.
Commandant General Joubert, re-
plying to numerous requests on the
part of journalists for permission to
accompany the commandant, said that
applications were premature.
Writing to an intimate friend at
Cape Town President Kruger SAYS:
Things are serious and will become
graver, but a peaceful settlement will
be attained"

James Ferguson, of Yatesville, came to
town yesterday afternoon and took ON a
cargo of liquor, after which he sought the
Office of Chief Burgess Tabor and abused
him. Ferguson alleged that friend of his
had not been properly fed while prisoner in
the lookup for forty-eight hours. The Bur
CESS disclaimed responsibility for the
alleged neglect and told Ferguson to go
home and make his complaint after
soboring up. Ferguson did not take kindly
to the advice and, after repeated persuasiuns,
the Burgess became angered and placed the
man under arrest A moment later Fergu-
son was on his back in the street. The next
moment he was being hustled down Market
alley. Ferguson suddenly turned and made
a swing at the officer, but his blow only grazed
the back OF Tabors neck. Down Ferguson
went again, and when he next got upon his
feet the nippers were on him and the Bur,
CESS had assistance to make the trip to the
lookup. Several friends Of the prisoner in
terceded last night and the Burgess CON
sented to release.

ROOSEVELT ON HIS TITLE.
Not His Excellency and His Home Not
 the Executive Mansion.

Albany. N. Y, Feb. Ex-Governor Roosevelt does not like the title your excelIency." He does not think any governor of any state should be ad- dressed by it, but since his jurisdiction stops at the borders of New York he gives notice that within that territory the title for the chief executive is gov ernOr, and gov is good enough for him. The house where Col. Roosevelt lives is called the executive mansion by most people, and in 9 way that is official, but the present tenant says it is the governors home.
 And. by the way, the eX-assistant secretary Of the navy recalled a re- ceptiOn in Washington at which a lady was introduced as Mrs. -ex-Third As sistant Deputy Secretary of Agricul- ture, and was received as such.
