QUESTION STILL OPEN.
Dom Paul Has Not Made Definite
Reply to England.

PRETORIA, Aug. 22.-It is ascertained
en- the highest authority that no definite
reply has been sent to the proposal of the
British secretary of state for the colonies,
Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, to submit to a
Joint commission of inquiry the effect
upon the Uitlanders of the recent fran
chise reforms. The precise situation is
that, as a result of the pour parleurs, a
communication was dispatched yesterday
to Sir Alfred Miner, British high COM
missioner in South Africa, and governor
of Cape Colony, which enbodies several
alternative proposals. For various rea-
sons these are kept strictly confidential,
but 1t is believed that they will admit of
the conclusion Of a modus vivendi.
1t is understood from various official
sources of information that alternative
proposals Of the Transvaal government
are for a five years franchise and one
fifth representation of the outlanders in
the first raad, provided the imperial gov

PARLIAMENTARY PAPER.
Document Bearing Upon the Trans
vaaI Crisis Issued.

LONDON, Aug. pa parliamentary
paper dealing with the Transvaal crisis
was issued today. 1t details the efforts
Of the Boer government during the past
year to have the question of the suzer-
ainty of Great Britain submitted to arbi-
traion, and Great Britain's repeated re-
fusals to discuss this basic point The
document adds that Sir Alfred Miner, the
governor of Cape Colony, and high COM
missioner Of South Africa, writing to Mr..
Chamberlain, the secretary of state for
the colonies, last June said:
The way in which the secretary Of
state juggles with the convention OF 1884
is rather irritating to plain man."
The final dispatch from Mr. Chamber
lain, dated July 13, 1894, to Sir Alfred Mil
ner, concurs with the Iatter's view as to
the untenable TransvaaI contention, add
ing that the British government had no
intention to continue to discuss the ques-

YESTERDAY A RED LETTER DAY

CERNED

Gov. Lind and Attorney General

That the State Cannot ApprOpri-
ate Money to Return Its Soldiers
Chief GOss Makes a FIatterine
Return From Police Department,
That the gallant members of the Thir-
teenth Minnesota regiment will have oc-
casion to hold st. Paul and the surround
ing cities of the state in lasting remem-
orance is more than evidenced by the
una animous manner with which the re-
sponse has been met for funds to bring
them from the coast to their homes with
out paying out a dollar of the money so
hardly earned while in the service of the
nation.
yesterday was red letter day in st.
Paul so far as the response for funds is
concerned, and the unfailing patriotism
OF the generously inclined people was
manifested in more pronounced manner
thaa ever, as shown by the eager way in
which the little silken badges were picked
up. In passing along the streets the
'A'ANOA must IlS6QS D6 struck by
the large number of people whose apparel
is decorated with the neat little badges
that cost so little and mean so much to
the brave boys who are en- route home.
ana the question was more than once ask
ed by strangers what great convention
was in the city, on the theory that the
badges were the insignia Of some big
order, as indeed they are, for that matter
In the report of an evening paper last
night a state official was quoted as say
ing that funds could be appropriated from
the state treasury for the purpose OF de-
fraying the expenses OF the boys back,
but this is not the fact, as both Governor
Lind and Attorney General Douglas are
clearly of the opinion that such a pro-
cedure would be contrary to law, so that
the good work must continue with ever
accelerating force.
Up to last night about two thousand
badges had been disposed of, which is
most encouraging, considering that the
good work has only fairly commenced.
Secretary Stine, of the Commercial club.
said last night that the sale had exceeded
expectations, and that While two thous-
and dollars had already been received
from the sale of badges, he considered
this as only a fair start.
All of the organized forces of the city
are at work, and yesterday Chief of Po-
lice Goss turned over $500, which repre-
sents only the central station, and it is
expected that the substations will realize
as much more.

Then NJ Labori asked If the witness as
sumed responsibility for the report Of
Nov. go 1897, which was attributed to a
foreign military attache.
The government commissary, Maj. Car

saying it referred to affairs of state, and
should not be answered except behind
closed doors.

In conclusion NJ. Labori said that thev

that protests and recriminations after the

DISLIKED ESTERHAZY.
NJ Grenfer, former prefect Of Belfort,
was the first witness called. He said he
considered Esterhazy to be an irresponsi-
BILE parsonage. Esterhazy, he continued,
was the orderly officer of the witness
father, who always praised his fidelity
and devotion, but .Esterhazy even then
was a disappointed man. He was alwavs
complaining of deception, grumbling at
fate and living in great style without
means to uphold it. He squandered sue
cessive legacies.
The witness, continuing, said he intro
duced Esterhazy to NJ. Jules Roche re
porter of the budget Of the minister of
war, who wanted an educated, intelligent
officer, capable of explaining military
technicalities. No one, according to NJ.
Grenier, was better qualified for this than
Esterhazy, who spoke every European
language and was thoroughly posted on
military science and the general military
history of Europe. At Esterhazy's re-
to get him into the ministry of war,
which Esterhazy declared was necessary
in order to enable him to pass for lieu
tenant colonel NJ. Grenier continued that
at the time Esterhazy attributed the re-
sistance which he encountered to various
people, including the late Lieut. Col.
Henry, but when the witness reassured
Esterhazy on this point, he exclaimed:
at is the last thing should expect
for Henry to be nasty
Col. Jouaust-Did EsterhaZy tell you
he believed in the innocence of Dreyfus?
The witness could not reply definitely
to this question. He said his recollec-
tions were not sufficiently exact He
fancied Esterhazy had said so, but he
could not swear to 1t.
WORK OF A SPY.
Lieut.. Col. Rollin, Of the intelligence
department, was the next witness. He
described the spy Lajoux, employed in
the department, as bad spy whom it
was found necessary to suppress.
NJ Labor asked the witness where he
knew Lajoux had offered to make rev.
citations in the Dreyfus affair, and the
witness replied that Latoux wrote to the

LADIES ARE JEALOUS.

The ladies of the city, both among the
organized societies and independently,
have taken hold of the matter with an
ardOr and zeal that is unequaled, and
the manner in which they succeed in ex-
changing badges for round silver dollars
is quite as refreshing as it is surprising.
The firemen are also doing yeornen
work, and by the time they are through
with the canvass they will be able to give
a good account Of themselves, as usual.
About 1 200 badges have been given to the
ladies of the several societies and they
will report to Miss Somrners at meeting
to be held Saturday afternoon at the
Commercial club.

idea, a letter was received from d. G.
Clinton, of Willmar, yesterday, asking
for fifty badges to be sent to Postmaster
Busch and Hon. A. E. Rice. D. c. Clin-
ton, of Atwater, also wrote Mr.. Kelly for
twenty-five badges, and similar requests
were also received from Shakopee and
other towns
In speaking of the movement Thomas
Cochran said:
''It is not a question of initiating Min
neapolis. If the states financial ar
rangements are so complicated that an
appropriation cannot be made for the
boys return and reception, then the only
way to raise the money is by subscrip-
ton. The other states whose troops nave
returned-Pennsylvan Oregon, Nebras-
ka, Colorado and KansaS-have brought
their volunteers home free of expense.
Can Minnesota afford to be the only state
that doesn't. The others recognize tn"
boys deserve it. We cannot do too much
for them"

Long Range Firing.

No one who reads about the des. perate fighting going on in these long, range, quick-fring days could have failed to be amazed at the small num- Der of resulting casualties. As a mat ter of fact, the firing begins when tha combatants are miles apart and ends before they can see the whites of each others eyes. There Is no "hand-to- hand" business as of yore. What kill. ing is done is miscellaneous and acci. dental. This is particul ly true with respect to the warfare now in progress in the Philippines. The fatalities among our troops mainly result from
 the fire of sharpshooters,. who pick their victims off from the safe cover of the jungle. The Filipinos have learned to protect themselves by keep ing out of range. Two or three severe lessons suf1ced.-Philadelp Record
