Berlin, June I2.-The London corre-
spOndent of The Frankfurter Zeitung
says: The idea of having the United
States mediate between Great Britain
and the South African republic is being

important commercial circles here 1t
is pointed out that at present no power
stands 50 close to Great Britain as the
United States. while at the same time
the fact that the republican form of
government prevails in the United
States would make WashinStons media
tion especially acceptable to the Beers.
1t is also thought that the prominent
social and political position occupied
by the descendants of the old Knicker-
booker Dutch in the east of the union
would be regarded by the Beers as a
factor recommending to them the
friendly intervention of the United
States a an arbiter"
London. June 12--Referring to the
foregoing dispatch from Berlin. il is
noted here that the admission OF any
foreign country TO arbitrate the case
would be the abandonment by Great
Britain of her claim to suzerainty
over Kruger's republic. This is what
Kruger was after in his conference with

suzerainty and want to be rid of it
Kruger offered certain concessions to
the OutIanders. provided. Great Britain
would submit matters to the arbitration
of a foreign power But this is what
the British will not agree to because it
would be abandoning the suZeraiuty.

Tie Seems Likely to Make The Hague Con-
ference ResultIess.

The Hague June 12.-An authoritative
contradiction is given to the report that
there is grave danger of the arbitration
scheme failing, owing to German op-
position. 1t is pointed out that although
Germany may hesitate to recognize the
principle she has not yet raised any
actual objections during the discussion.
\ feeling of disquietude is observable
among the delegates of the smaller
powers at the decisions of the confer
ence relating to the tender of good Of

this may be imposed on the lesser pow
