London, Sept. PA special dispatch
from Pretoria says the British note,
which was read in both Raads yesterday
(Tuesday), is regarded as a virtual ulti-

1T proposes five-year franchise,
quarter representation for the gold fields
in the Yolksraad, equality for the Brit
ish and Dutch in the Volksraad and
equality for the old and new Burghers in
regard to the Presidential and other
elections.
IF these conditions are accepted,
co.. erence between representatives of
the two Governments shall follow 70"
the purpose OF drafting the necessary
measures and of avoiding the introduc-
ton of unnecessary conditions by the
Transvaal Government or the possibility
of any new bills calculated to defeat the
reforms.
I'm view of the fact. the note goes
on to say. that the present state of affairs
i'm South Africa cannot be prolonged,
the definite acceptance of this proposal
is demanded without delay. Otherwise

value of these natural forest products,
while Spain has pursued such policy
as to prevent Europeans or others from
developing the industry which they rep
resent.
About the only use to which the ma
tives put these great natural resources
Is to build of them their little matched
huts. Even in these bamboo Is much
oftener employed because of the ease
with which it is handled. In the sea-
oasttOwns, where civilization has made
some strides, one can find better class
of dwellings in which the valuable
woods are sometimes put to good use,
but they are rarely seen in the interior,
where the natives are content to live
In the easiest manner possible, and with
none of the luXuries with which nature
has so bountifully surrounded them.
Here one finds the little hut of bamboo
with it's matched roof built In out-of-
the-way places of the forest, where nn-
ture provides all that is needed for the
family without any eXertion on the part
of the occupants, and with the great
majority of the natives of the Philip
pines that is the ideal of existence.
They care nothing for the great wealth
which nature has placed ut their dis
posal, and IL left to themselves would
never develop 1t to any greater extent
than their own simple wants required.

told mineral wealth. Immense quanti-
ties of an excellent quality of Ignite,
which Is a satisfactory fuel for steam
ers and manufacturing plants, are
stored away in natures storehouses,
waiting for q more progressive race
than the natives to unearth it.
Aside from this the island promises
to become quite factor in the gold
production of the world. For years
the natives have been mining gold in
a crude way, but they have never recog-
nized Its value, and their methods of
mining have been so poor that half of
the metal Is wasted or washed away
with the debris. An English syndicate
is even now working some of the mines
of Luzon, but the lack of transporta-
ton retards their progress to greut

Aside from these, Luzon abounds in

place, with the exception of the few TO
be found around Manila. Men with the
means needed for the proper develop
ment of the islands found Spain hard
tuskmaster and would not invest un-
der the conditions which the mother
country demanded. AS for the natives,
they are but little II any better than Af-
rican savnges to a great extent. In
many of the islands they are living in
practically the same state of savageTy
that existed at the time of the discovery
OF the islands. Those of Luzon and
few other places have progressed TO n

the large majority are not, The trOp-
icnl forests afford them all that they
find necessary for their mode of life,
and the natural resources have been,
and will continue to be, neglected until
q higher state of civilization steps In
and develops them.
Still another industry that awaits de-
velopment is that offered by the vast
forests Of valuable timber. Dean G.
Worcester says that In the island of
Mindora alone he found 100 different
kinds Of wood, four of which were so
heavy they would sink In water, OF
the hard woods there are more than so
varieties, many Of which are of the most
valuable kinds. For sh!pbuilding and
house construction some of these woods
cannot be excelled, while others of
them are capable of taking beautiful
polish, and so would be valuable for
furniture and decorative purposes.
Among these woods ebony is noticed in
large quantities.

American people.
None of the islands of the Pacific are

The first thing needed in the Philip

the present time the islands have but
one railroad, q short line extending
from Manila to Dagupan, distance of
100 miles to the north. Throughout the
remainder of the islands, as well as the
remainder of Luzon, the only means of
transportation Is the native water buf.

ocean, bays and rivers. Between The

steamers ply, but the smaller places
must depend on the cruder means, and

SOLVES SERVANT PROBLEM.
Why a Wealthy Retired Merchant Ac-
cepted RestGnatiOns of
His Force.

Augustus Knight, wealthy retired
merchant of St. Louis, has solved one
phase Of the servant girl problem. He
has been widower for 1s years, and
his children, all grown up, welcomed
his marriage, fewpdnys ago, to an
estimable woman, also of st. Louis.
He neglected, however, to secure the
consent of the servants OF his house
hold, and when their new mistress was
introduced they retreated to the
kitchen to caucus. They passed reso-
lutions condenning the course of Mr..
Knight, and rendered their resigna-
tions. They felt that they had been
sighted In not having been informed
of his having fallen in love. They
"whereased" that he had done so with
out their knowledge or consent, and,
In order to administer fitting rebuke,
they resolved" that the preservation of
their self-respect compelled their res
ignation from his employ.
Mrs. Knight wanted to temporize, but
Mr.. Knight would not. lie accepted
their designations, and n new corps of
servants has been installed. At an
"at home" Mr.. Knight announced that
he had solved the servant girl problem.
