SENSATIONAL REPORT.
10 ID Said That tho Boer ENJOYS VIII Ash
President Mckinley TO Annex the South
African Republics.

Omaha, Neb., June 12.-Peace En-.
voy Vessels, in confidential talk
with one Of the best known men Of
Omaha, said the Beers would make q
proposal to the United States look
ing to annexation of the Dutch re-
publics. The matter has been under
serious consideration for weeks. Ithas
been urged upon them that by SO do
Ing, although they would give up their
present independence, they would be-
come part of the greatest and freest
republic on earth, and would be sure
to retain for themselves the greatest
measure Of civil liberty. Annexation
Of foreign countries has several pre-
cedents, notably that Of Texas and re.
Gently that Of Hawaii. In the case Of
Texas the proposition was once made
and rejected and later accepted. In
the case of Hawaii, after the treaty
OF annexation had been delayed the
end was accomplished by Legislative
enactment, which requires merely o
majority of both houses Of congress
The attitude Of President Mckinley
is still to be sounded, nor has the
proposition been submitted formally
to Secretary Hay, but there Is no
doubt It will be submitted this week.
The fact that congress is NO longer
in session would leave the decision
entirely with the president and his
cabinet.

80 One direction in which the colleges
Of the west excel the larger and more
influential institutions Of the east is
In the training of their students in
public speaking. In spite of popular
delusion to the contrary, there never
was q time in the history of the corn-
try when the man who is able to
think on his feet and to express his
thoughts eloquently had as much in
fiuence rs he has to-day. Sensational
political developments, which are still
fresh in memory, are sufficient proof
Of this assertion.
