PRETORIA, Wednesday, March IA.
State Secretary Reitz's refutat0n of
Lord Salisbury's arguments in the
reply to the Bloemfontein joint note
was issued to-day.
Mr.. Reitz says:
''The British government after the
Blcemfontein conference endeavored
to enforce by threats changes in the
civil government of the Transvaal Re-
public, contrary to the London con-
vention. They also imported troops in
great numbers and broke off negotia-
tons with a threat to take their own
means to remove the grievances of
their subjects.
after waiting a fortnight, while an
army corps was prepared and the re-
serves were being out by the British,
President Steyn asked the reason of
these proceedings. Sir Alfred Miner
refused to reply
Meanwhile Mr.. Chamberlain, in
his speeches, showed the world that
England had decided on war Accord

render.
LONDON, March 1.-THE Standard
has the following dispatch from
Bloemfontein, dated Thursday, March
Is:
"The civil authorities here definitely
made up their minds to surrender on
Monday. A stormy meeting was held,
presided over by Mr.. Steyn, whom Mr..
Frazer denounced as coward, charg-
ing him with a want of enough moral
courage to accept the situation.
1.-THE late president was, however,
not to be persuaded, and when the
meeting broke up he left for the
north.
"The occupation was extremely or
derby and we'll managed. The spec
tacle was most impressive when the
Sixth division marched through in
grand style, Notwithstanding that,
like the rest of the army, it had COW
cred forty miles in twenty-seven
hours.
Large numbers of the burghers are
surrendering their arms. Many have
fed to their homes. Others are trek
king to the east or to the north with
their cattle and goods. During the
last few days the Inhabitants bf
,Bloemfontein had grown in deadly
fear of the violence of the Transvaal-
ers, and consequently the city resem-
bles rather a relieved, than a captured
city. Mr.. Wassels, president Of the
Rad, has gone to England to solicit
public sympathy and plead for the in
dependence of the Free State"

The Colonies Are Asked How Many
Soldiers Are Available for Imme-
diate Service.
NEW YORK, March ia dispatch
to the Journal and Advertiser from
London says: A private cablegram
from an unimpeachable source in
Paris, says that the minister for the
colonies sent cipher cables yesterday
to the governor of every French col
ony, asking, almost in the words OF
Mr.. Chamberlain to the British COL
onial governors, how many soldiers
were available for immediate service.
NJ Decrais asked for detailed state
Ment from each governor of the num-
Der of reservists and colonial forces,
lists of officers, non-commissioned Of
ficers and men.
1t is also said that cables of a SIM
liar tenor were sent to French con-
suls, asking for lists of French SOL
diers in foreign countries, who could
return to France in the event Of their
services being needed.
The news will cause a sensation
here when it becomes known. For
England is watching with eyes of won
der the preparations that her neigh
Dor is making for war. Coming as it
does right after the announcement
that the autumn maneuvers will be a
demonstration by 100000 men on the
English channel, it will cause the
British war office and admiralty to
bestir themselves in anticipation OF
hostilities, for it really does begin to
look as if France meant war.
France and Russia are working hand
in hand and Salisbury's diplomacy
may be called upon for supreme efforts
if he desires to avoid the greatest war
the world has ever seen.

LONDON, March 15.-Mr. Montagu
Whites threat, in an American news
paper that the Beers will sacrifice
johannesburg and raZe 1t to the
ground if necessary, is not taken very
seriously. Mr.. Chamberlain's state
ment that Kruger has already been
warned as to the consequence OF such
conduct is regarded as showing that
sufficient precaution has been taken.
The Times suggests that burgners
should be warned that their farms will
be taxed as a guarantee against any
damage to British property, but no
serious apprehensions are entertained
at such conduct as Mr.. White is said
to have foreshadowed. ]. B. Robin
son, the millionaire mine owner, says
he does not believe the Beers would
be so foolish.

Who will Be Chairman.

NEW YORK, March 24.-Certain in
fiuential Democratic national au-
thorities, close to Mr.. Bryan, decid-
ed last night to make the authorized
statement that the Hon. James X.
Jones chairman of the Democratic
national committee, Will not succeed
himself. Every effort on the part
OF Mr.. Bryan's friends who made this
statement was in the direction of
speaking Of Senator Jones gently and
nicely, but. without doubt, they said
Chairman Jones must not be allow
ed to conduct the Democratic nation
al campaign this year.
In fact 1t may be put down positive
ly that Senator Jones will not be the
fighting chairman for the national
Democrats this year. There was
not Democrat, national, state or
local, who did not speak we'll of
Senator Jones. They said that be
was very pleasant gentleman, mis-
guided on many important questions
In word, the Democratic national
convention, which Is to meet in Kan
sas City on July 4, will not select u
national committee which will sup
port Senator Jones for reappoint-
ment as chairman of the Democrat
ic national committee.
1t was said last night by compel.
ent Democratic national authority
that either one of the four following
gentleman will be selected in Senat.
or Jones' place: Ex-Governor Will
liam ]. Stone, of Missouri; E. M.
House, Of Austin, Texas; ex-Repre-
sentative Tom l.. Johnson, of Ohio,
and Brooklyn, and the Hon. Elliot
Danforth, who was born In Scoharie,
county, N. Y.
The Hon. Henry Watterson in an
authorized interview in the Sun last
Monday morning, announced that he
was not In any conspiracy to defeat
the denomination of Bryan at the
Kansas City convention of National
Democrats. 1t was learned last
night that within week or two GER
tain conferences are to be held in
New York city. for tho purpose of
discussing the Democratic national
situation.
The fact that ex-senator David B.
Hill, Of Albany, has been in New
York city a number of times of late
has been interpreted to mean all
sorts of things. AS matter of fact,
Senator Hill is practicing law and
Is giving very little attention to poll
tics. He Is ready to talk with all OF
his old friends as to the weather, art,
science and literature, but he will
not talk on politics.

To Be Used to Report Fire Alarms to
Engine Houses.

CHICAGO, March, 22.-Fire alarms
will be shouted into engine houses
OF the city by means Ct phona-
graphs, If newly patented auto
matte machine tested yesterday
afternoon comes into use in Chicago.
The new device is the invention Of
George G. Hale, chief OF the Kan
sas City fire department. He in
vented the Hale tower and auto
matte harness used by the Chicago
department.
The new machine is based upon
the increase of temperature result
ing from fire. When the temper
ature goes above the maximum
fixed for the building, an electric
circuit Is opened that puts into OPP
Grafton a phonagraph which talks
into telephone, telling fire head
quarters that there is q fire at
whatever address the alarm is
located.
Mr.. Hale believes his automatic
alarm will solve the problem of
prompt alarm. The new device
has been adopted In many New
York and Boston business houses
and it is said reduction In insur-
ance rates has been made In each
case.

On Advertising.

Every man who puts out sign
asserts his belief In the virtue oi
advertising.
Occasional advertising may pay
sometimes, but persistent adver.
tising always pays.
Don't measure your ad. by your
neighbor'a. If you can use more
space, use it.
If you cant write catchy ad.,
employ some one to do it for you
All men are not constituted alike
nor are all men good ad. compos.
ers.
Different communities require
differently worded adver rtisements,
If one style fails to produce good
results try another. But don't stop
advertising.
Don't permit your prejudices to
prevent you from patronizing a
good medium OF advertising. That
would not be business.
Would you depend upon a single
introduction to person you desire
to become acquainted with? No,
you would moi. You would meet
him as frequently as possible and
recall your introduction to him for
fear he might have forgotten 1t.
Then advertise on the same priu-
c:ple. You can't appeal to your
constituents too often.
Importuning is the strongestevi-
dence of desire aud proof OF APP
probation. Keep after the public
and the public will feel battered
and literally respond.

Easy For GrOsvenor.
John f. White is Elected Delegate to
the National Convention.

ATHENS, OHIO. March 27.-When
the Eleventh District Congressional
Convention was called to order at IL
O'Clock by Major l.. M. Jewett,
Chairman of the Congressional COM
mittee, each Of the six counties of
the district was represented with
full delegations excepting Perry.
The opera house was filed with
delegates and spectators.
There had been rUmors throughout
the day that General Grosvenor
might still have opposition, not
withstanding the fact that he had
enough instructed delegates to NOM
mate him. 1t was we'll known that
number of the delegates even from
his own county, were not friendly to
him. The friends Of the General,
evidently fearing delay, rushed the
business Of the convention, and when
the Perry County delegation arrived,
few moments after IL, Colonel Z.
P. Brooks, of Meigs County, was
placing the name Of Grosvenor be-
fore the convention, and moved his
nomination by acclamation. This
was seconded by ex-senator d.
Meade Massie of Chillicothe, and
carried, and General Grosvenor was
announced the nominee Of the con-
vention before the Perry County
delegation was fairly seated.
The General was sent for and re-
sponded with twenty-minute
speech, denouncing the course of the
Democratic party in Congress and
trying to explain the position of the
Republican party on the Puerto
Rican tariff measure. William l..
Stinson, of Ross County, was nomin-
ated for Elector, and n. s. Berry, Of
the same county, for alternate
Elector. The delegates to the Re-
publican National Convention are
John f. White, of Hooking, and G.
S. Rannalls, of Vinton. Alternates: {:
T. B. Stanbury, Of Meigs, and J. D..
Axline, Of Perry. Byron Lutz, of
Chillicothe, was Chairman of the
convention.
This is the sixth time that Colonel
Brooks has placed General Grosven-
or in nomination for Congress, and
the eight time that he has received
the nomination. He has heretofore
been elected in this district by ma
jorities ranging from 1000 to 5000.
Mr.. Grosvenor returned to WASH
ington City tonight. Foraker, Han
ma and Governor Nash were indors-
ed. The policy of the President to-
ward Puerto Rico was indorsed.-

Good Sense.

Judge Bright, has drawn an
amendment to the centennial bill
which he intends to offer when the
bill comes up for consideration in
the Senate, the object of which is
to make the burden of the centen-
MEL fall upon the counties in true
proportion to the benefits received,
Judge Bright is opposed to the bill,
and was quoted in The Press Posts
poll Of the Senate last week in that
way.
He proposes In his bill that five
per centum OF the money raised by
each county for the centennial,
under the bill, shall be refunded to
them at once, and that in addition
to that there shall be refunded to
them also one-tenth of one per cent
of it for each mile that the county
seats are distantfrom Bay View
park, where the centennial is to
be hsld--the distance to be measur.
ed by railroad or other common
means of travel. The auditor,
clerk and probate Judge of each
county shall submit to the govern
or ten names of citizens of their
counties and from them the gov.
ernor shall select three persons to
form county centennial commits
sion who shall have charge OF the
whole matter In their county.
To these respective commissions
the proportionate amount due each
county as provided In the amend
ment shall be paid over from tho
proceeds of the sale Of the certifi-
Gates of Indebtedness or from the
appropriation for the exposition,
deposited in the State Treasury.
The funds shall be used, under the
direction of the deputy commits
sions, in aiding in procuring suit
able space for the respective coun-
ty exhibits on the centennial
grounds, in helping to bear the ex-
pense of the shipment of the sever
al county exhibits TO Toledo and In
aiding the citizens Of the county in
question, who may wish to attend
the exposition, to defray the ex-
pense Of their visit. Any surplus
which may remain, after all these
things are done, shall be turned In
to the various county treasures.
