learned by The Associated Press that
the government has at last decided up
on plan for the civil settlement of
South Africa. The details are kept
most secret, but it can safely be said
that the Orange River Colony and the
Transvaal will become crown colonies,
the latter probably being renamed the
Transvaal colony. Sir Alfred Miner,

opposition he has incurred.

New York, Nov. 26.-Four govern
ments, says a Washington special to the
Herald, have been requested to author
lie the United States to establish coal
Ing stations on their territory and a
fifth is to be approached.
Because Of the Importance of domn-
ating the termini of the projected Mic
aragua canal, the authorities are anxious
that the navy shall have convenient
bases from which to perate for the de-
tense Of the waterway. 1t has, therefore
been tryig to acquire the Danish West
Indies and sites on the Isthmus at Chiri-
qui and the Gulf Of Dolce and one of the
islands of the Galapagos group. Up to
this time it's efforts have not met with
success, but during the next few weeks
1t is proposed to renew the attempts. In
the case of the Galapagos islands, Ecua-
dor was seemingly suspicious of the pur-
pose of the United States and fatty re-
fused In naval circles there is apparent

the guilty Chinese who may be designate
ed by the representatives of the powers

indemnity land in this connection our
government suggested reference nj the
subject to The Hague tribunaD and final-
ly, for the maintenance of a legation
guard at Pekin. The latter. however.
was to be temporary until congress acted
on the matter.
Unless the minister at Pelin has made
a very substantial change in the require
ments off the French note, therefore, it
may be predicted that our government
will feel obliged to make some alterations
in the arrangements before 1t gives its
adherence. There is some reason to be-
lieve the indemnity proposition has taxi
en- such an extreme form as to make It
mlposs lble for the Chinese governments
to meet the demand and this, taken in
connection with the unreasonable de-
mands CT some of the powers respecting
punishments, may oblige our government
to endeavor to have the demands mod
Grated. There are indications, too, that
in these efforts our government Is to re-

at Pekin, but it is not regarded as eX-

It may be stated. however, that the
agreement stands a very poor chance Of
receiving the sanction of all the powers

less some additional amendments are

from Pekin that the basis of the agree

two points which, if presented in their
original shape would not meet with the
unqualified approval of this government.
For instance. the president expressly re-

that the Taku forts be dismantled. He
also withheld his approval Of the French

Convention Held II Chicago Has Tended TO
Greatly Increase Interest in the
Subject in the East
MERCHANTS ARE AROUSED
GEORGE H. MAXWELL CHAIRMAN OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMIT
TEE, GIVES HIS VEWS-LITTLE OPPOSITION
is EVIDENCED

Chicago. Nov. 26.-The delegates to
the ninth annual convention of the Ma
tional Irrigation congress. which closed
here last Saturday, unanimously de-
clared that greater interest In the irrl-
cation of the arid lands of the United
States had been reached by this conven-
ton than any previously held.
1--WE believe that the Chicago conven-
tion of the National irrigation congress
has accomplished a great object" said
George H. Maxwell. chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee. 1T has placed be-
fore the people of the whole United
States the Importance Of the problem OF
national irrigation and has particularly
brought it to the attention of the people
of the east in manner not otherwise
possible. A genuine interest in the SUBJ
ject seems to have been awakened. So
much good would result from the carry
ing out of the policy by the national
government. and result in 50 many diff
ferent ways that people who have no in
terest in irrigation itself are being at
tracted to the idea.
1T would accomplish the colonization
of the west and the creation of great
market for manufacturing; it would re-
development of mining, in assistance to
irrigation. to the prevention of floods
and in relief for the congested condition
of our cities in supplying material for
thousands of small rural homes
Last year. continued Mr.. Maxwell,
"CscAgo was fixed upon as the meeting
place for this years congress, and work
was at once begun by the National Irri-
cation association TO bring the subject
before the people Of the United States

The merchants Of Los Angeles began the
work by correspondence with several
thousand of the eastern merchants and
manufacturers who find a market for
their goods in that city, city which is
such a magnificent object lesson of the
