NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Sept. 16.-The
final business session Of the 18th annual
convention of the United Typothetae of
America was held The heated discus
sion which was expected in connection
with the anti-union resolution did not
materialize This resolution urged the
employment of non-union foremen and
superintendent only. 1t was very qui-
etly dropped c. w. Edwards Of Phila-
delphia, the proposer, offering the fol-
lowing substitute:
Resolved, That the members of the
United Typothetae of America, in con-
vention assembled. reserve to them
selves the right to employ whomsoever
they see fit in the management of
their respective offices"
This was unanimously adopted
Kansas City. Mo-, was chosen as the
place of the next convention, the date
being left to the executive committee,
and the Kansas City Typothetae.
The following officers were elected:

that five years qualification for natur-
alization ever was offered. Most i'm
portant of all, the note declares that
any question touching the complete
independence of the Transvaal cannot
be presented to the volksraad.
The reply, however concludes: "If
her majesty's government Is willing
and feels able to make this decision, a
joint commission as at first proposed
by Mr.. Chamberlain would put an end
to the present state of tension. Race
hatred would decrease and die out and
the prosperity and welfare of the South
African republic and the whole of South
Africa will be developed and furthered
and franternization between the diff
ferent Municipalities will increase"
Meanwhile, work on the fortifica-
-tions is being pushed forward with in
creased zeal. During the past few
months the fortifications, situated on
a slight eminence about half a mile
beyond the town, have been the scene
of feverish activity. Burghers and the
boys brigade have been industriously
drilling along the slopes, and, omin-

CARD FROM REED.
The Ex-Speaker Thanks the People Of
the First Maine District.

PORTLAND, Me-, Sept. is. = The
Pr prints the following:
"To the Republicans of the First Maine
district:
while 1 am naturally reluctant to
obtrude myself again upon public at
tention even here at home, l am sure
no one would expect me to leave the
First Maine district after so long a SER
vice without some words expressing to
you my appreciation of your friendship
and my gratitude for your generous
treatment. Words alone are quite in
adequate and 1 must appeal to your
memories. During three and twenty
years of political life. not always
peaceful, you have never questioned
single public act of mine. Other men
have had to look after their districts.
My district has looked after me. This.
you know my shortcomings as we'll as
| do myself, gives me right to be
proud Of my relations with you. No
honors are ever quite like those which
come from home.
1T would not be just for me to with
hold my thanks from those Democrats
who have so often given me their votes,
This friendship, l can acknowledge
with all propriety even in letter to
Republicans for both they and you
know that have never trimmed a sail
to catch the passing breeze or ever
flown a doubtful flag. Office as a rib
bon to stick in your coat is worth no
body's consideration. Office as oppor-
tunity is worth all consideration. That
opportunity you have given me untram-
melled in the fullest and amplest meas
ure and l return you sincerest thanks.
If 1 have deserved any praise 1t be-
longs of right to you.
Whatever may happen, l am sure
that the First Maine district will al
ways be true to the principles of lib
erty, government and the rights OF
man. THOMAS B. REED"
