PREMIER'S PLAIN TALK.

the House of Lords.

Salisbury Discusses Transvaal Affairs in
the House of Lords.
LONDON, July 29.-In the house of
lords the Earl of Camperdown calla1
attention to the Transvaal situation
The Earl of Dunraven and others fol.
lowed, all declaring that any departure
from the recognized policy of the gov
eminent would be an act of inestimable
danger to the position Of Great Britain
not only in South Africa, but it might
shake the imperial existence of Great
Britain itself.
The Earl of Selbourne, under secre-
tary for the colonies, made statement
similar in purpose to that made in the
house of commons by Mr.. Chamberlain.
Lord Salisbury reminded the house
that he absolutely dissented from the
policy of 1881, which was tainted with
grave fault of optimism. Nevertheless
President Kruger assented in the proto-
col of the 1881 convention to friendly
cooperation of the races, while he has
since taken an absolutely opposite line,
his only effort being to separate the
English and South African govern.
ments and to reduce the English to the
status of subjugated race.
The premier declared that if the lat
est concessions were genuinely carried
out the government might look for
ward to peaceful solution of the cri-
sis. Her majesty's government, he
said, had put their hands to the pillow
and certainly did not intend to with
draw them

tho Peace Congress.
NEW YORK, July 29.-Among the
passengers who arrived per steamer
Britannia from Liverpool and Queens
town were Archbishop Ireland, the
Rev. Thomas Bradbury, Harold Dick
inson and the Rev. Creighton Spencer.
The archbishop said that he had had
delightful time while abroad, and had
met many notable people. Asked if he
would say anything about the recon-
struction of the Catholic church in
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines,
the archbishop replied that that was
ancient history.
Regarding the peace conference at
The Hague the archbishop said:

on the part Of Great Britain, because it
will undoubtedly force the Transvaal

Present Situation Admitted to
Be Dangerous to lmpe-
rial Interests.

LONDON, July 29.-Speaking on the
Transvaal question in the house of
commons Joseph Chamberlain said a
crisis in South Africa had been reached.
The grievances of the Outlanders,
Mr.. chamberlain said, were admitted
on all hands to be serious, but the most
serious part was that the outrageous
treatment to which they were subjected
was part of the settled policy pursued
by the Beers. The situation was dam
gerous to imperial interests. AS regards
the racial feud growing out of the war,
race antagonism already existed and was
poisoning the community. The danger of
disaffection in Cape Colony and the
Orange Free State was entirely due to
the action of the Transvaal. TWAS not
a question of five or seven years fran
chise, but of the power and authority
of the empire and of the position of
Great Britain in South Africa. Con-
tinuing, Mr.. Chamberlain said:
Cannot Back Down Now.
1--WE have undertaken the cause Of
the Outlanders and are bound to see it
through. We shall not rest until con-
clusion satisfactory to us has been
reached. anticipate that the efforts
towards settlement will be successful,
but we will not tie our hands in regard
to measures that may be necessary to
fulfill anticipations.
Mr.. Chamberlain justified imperial
Intervention because it was the right of
every civilized power to protect its own
subjects; secondly, because Great Brit
ain had the right of Intervention under
the convention as the suzeFain power;
and, thirdly, because the convention
had been broken in letter and in spirit.
The house adopted the colonial Office
vote without a division after pro-
tracted debate upon the South African
policy of the government

Death of Samuel G. Pond and John q,
Meradith.

Samuel G. Pond died at 2:25 Thurs
day morning at his residence on Hickory
street, which is occupied by E. Howard
and family. He was taken sick July
9TH with severe attack of pleuro-pneu-
monia, and while at first there were
hopes of his recovery these gradually
faded. The deceased was conscious to
the last.
Mr.. Pond was born at Sun Prairie,
Wis, Oct. 1, 1850, and was the oldest of
the family. He came to Mankato eigh-
teen years ago and engaged in the
clothing business with his brother,
George. Several years ago, he retired
from the firm on account of his health,
considering that an occupation that
would take him out of doors more
would be better for him. He then en-
gagged in the manufacture of brick in
Riverside Park addition until last
spring, when he sold out. In Wiscon-
sin, he belonged to the 0. 0, F. One
brother, George Pond, of this city, and
one sister. Mrs. c. B. Bird. of Chicago,
survive him, being the only members
of the family now remaining. Mr.,
Ponds death causes general regret, as
he was we'll liked by all who knew
him. He was warm hearted and gen.
erous, of cheerful disposition, and al
ways had pleasant word for his
friends.
Funeral services were be held at No,
407 Hickory street, at three o'clock
Friday afternoon, Rev. Geo. Fl. Davis
conducting them. The remains will
then be taken to Sun Prairie for burial
beside those of the father and mother
of the deceased, leaving over the G. &
N. w. road at 4:45 o'clock. The bereav-
ed brother and sister will accompany
the remains to their final resting place.

II the sentiment, which was well nigh
unanimous, for keeping the Philippines,
IS losing ground as is being alleged. the
cause Of the change probably can be
traced to the fact that there is a belief
in some quarters. that somebody has
been doing a bungling job in connection
with the attempt to suppress the insur-
rection.
Alger has been held responsible to a
large extent for the lack of success up

and we shall see what we shall see.
Perhaps nothing could be done which
would tend more to aIlay public dis
satisfaction and apprehension than to
