At the time the child was run over the

CONFIDENCE IN HIM.
Kruger Has Been So Assured by the
VOIksraad,


Pretoria, July 24.-President Kruger had
been absent from the government building
since Friday afternoon, and it was under
stood that, owing to the opposition shown
him by the executive council and the
Volksraad regarding the question of the
Johannesburg fort and the dynamite mo-
nopoly, he had arrived at the conclusion
that he no longer possessed the Volkraad $
confidence and threatened TO resign. To-
day however a deputation including Gen.
Joubert, the vice president; Herren Schall,
burger and the chairman of the Voiksraa1
waited upon President Kruger and induced
him to attend a secret session of the Volks-
raad, which lasted over three hours
Meanwhile an anxious crowd had assem-
bled outside the building, waiting expect
antly to learn the outcome of what was re-
garded as a momentous debate.
Late this evening it was announced that
the Volksraad had finally assured the
President that ii had the utmost conf
dence in him. 1t is thought, however, that
a majority of the members of the Raad
still differs from the President on the dy-
Mantle monopoly question.

ANTI-GOEBELITEs MET.
W. c. Owens Sent Letter 10 the
Bowling Green Meeting.

Bowling Green Meeting.
Bowling Green. KY. July 24.-The anti
Goebel meeting here to-day was largely at
tended. Ex-Congressman w. c. owens
sent letter condemning the movement in
augurated by so-called Democrats in East
ern states to abandon the principles of the
Chicago platform. indorsng William Jen-
nings Bryan for President, and charging
that the state convention In Louisville,
which nominated Goebel, "was perverted
from It's true purpose by corruption, fraud
and force, by intrigue and treaohery, by
Infamous rulings of the acting chairman,
thereby setting at naught the time honored
principle of Democracy that the will Of the
majority Of the people shall be the govern
ing power"
The resolutions deny that the ticket Is
entitled TO or should receive the support
of the party in this state. The convention
repudiated the so-called nominee and "in
order TO preserve the integrity of the party
and 10 secure the election of Democrats"
requested a provisional executive com
mittee" of twelve TO meet at Lexington
Aug. 2, and, meanwhile to take steps 10
secure a full representation at that meet
ing of Democrats throughout the state
who are in sympathy with the movement.
The meeting ended in the greatest dis
order. Personal violence was resorted TO
several times before the convention adj
journed one man was struck from the
rear with brass knuckles Several others
were struck, and for a time 1t threatened
TO become a general riot. Pistols and
knives were drawn, and, but for a tenn
porary adjournment, more b.oodshed would
surely have resulted.

British Comment ON the Close of tho
Peace Conference.
London, July 25.--AH the morning papers
devote editorials to the closing of the In
ternationaI peace conference at The Hague
and note with satisfaction the progress
made In the direction of arbitration which,
cheapened by the institution of a perma-
nent court, will tend 10 wider resort
to arbitration In minor disputes, and, ie
successful, will accustom the Powers to
ITS gradual extension to more serious mat
ters. In other respects they declare the
conference achieved little, but that, as the
Times says, was not the fault of the con-
ference for the Cars project was inn
practicable"
The correspondent Of the Times at The
Hague says:
THE delegates to the international peace
conference are quite bouyant at the un-
hoped for results achieved. Sir Julian
Pauncefote expects, despite the failure OF
the disarmament plan, 1t will be difficult
to continue on the same scale as before.
while, now that a permanent court Of ar
bitration is crowded for at triflng cost.
conflicting states viii no more turn their
backs on arbitration than would a huns
gryI>nan fail to enter a restaurant pros
wiling good, cheap fare"
The Standard expresses the opinion, ed
itorially, that the British government Will
not countenance the reassembling Of the
peace conference, since il would be sum-
moned chiefly to condemn methods and
appliances which the British prefer Ia
employ
