WASHINGTON. May 22.-The State
Department does not expect to have
any further communication with the
Boer delegation. Such interchange as
occurred was purely unofficial, it is
stated. If the Boer delegates had any
credentials giving them an official
status they failed to present them, or
even to refer to them in the course
of their talk with the officials. The only
sign OF the possession by them of dip
lomatic powers was the inscription on
the cards presented by them, indicat-
ing that each one of the delegates had
been sent out as a minister plenipo-
Tertiary by the Boer republic. 1t is
surmised that if they have credentials
comforting diplomatic powers upon
them the delegates have purposely re-
Trained from presenting them in order
to avoid dislocation of their plans
for the future.
1t is evident that the delegates made
a deep impression upon the officials
OF the government with whom they
came in contact yesterday, and it is
said that it was only the plain de-
mands of neutrality, as laid down in
Secretary Hays response to the Boer
representations, that prevented the
return Of an answer that would have
been much more satisfactory to them.
The delegates were disappointed at the
response made by Secretary Hay, indi-
eating that up to the last moment they
had cherished a hope that the United
States government would be favorably
moved. Now that the answer is re-
turned it is expected that the dele
gates will go at once about the second
branch of their business and begin a
series of mass meetings and public
demonstrations in the principal cities
of the United States, with view to
affecting public sentiment, and per-
haps indirectly influencing the terms
of the peace which will conclude the
present war. 1t is the opinion in Off
cial circles here that the prompt ac-
ton of the State Department in dis
missing the Beers application for in
tervention has indirectly gone far to-
ward bringing about speedy termina-
ton of the South African war. 1t is
assumed that the delegates here will
find some means to communicate the
unfavorable reception of their appeal
to Pretoria.

COMMERCIAL EDUCATION.
Germany Leads the World and Sets
an Example That May Well BE
Followed.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May %
Germany has led, and is still leading
the world in commercial education. .
says Consular Agent Harris, at Eiben
stock, in recent dispatch to the State
Department. The various commercial
schools, he says, annually send forth
large numbers of qualified young men
to take up lucrative and important
positions in the business world. These
young men, he continues, are selling
in distant countries products of the
German empire ranging from loco
motive to clothespin, invariably hav-
ing the advantage over their American
and English competitors of being able
to speak fiuently the language of the
country in which they attempt to sell
their goods. Consular Agent Harris
attributes the efficiency of German
commercial travellers directly to the
splendidly conducted commercial insti-
tutes in Germany and strongly recon-
mends the establishment of similar COL
leges in the United States. The found
ing of large commercial university at
Hamburg is in contemplation.

To Look After Their own Interests
ia Case Pretoria Is Invested.
PRETORIA, Monday, May 21.-An
open air meeting was held to-day by
the local Hollanders, two hundred of
whom were present, to consider the
situation in the event Pretoria should
be beleaguered. A committee was ap-
pointed to secure a place of safety for
the women and children. The consul
general of the Netherlands, Mr. Nieu-
wenhuys, was asked to advise his gov
eminent to take it's subjects.
One speaker said the position was
most dark. The British, he declared,
would be masters of the Free State
and the Transvaal; might would be
right; the capitalists would dominate;
the poor would be the sufferers, and
the Hollanders would have no chance.
DR.. Heymans contradicts the re-
ports circulated regarding the health
of President Kruger, which, he says,
is good Mr.. Kruger is transacting
all the work of the presidency
In accordance with an understanding
with Gen. Botha and President Steyn,
the government has issued a circular
stating that should the enemy succeed
in gaining a position in the Transvaal
and take possession of one or the other
districts the inhabitants would be free
to decide whether or not to leave their
families on the farms; but the men
must remain with the commands.

FRANKFORT. KY, May 22.-The
Kentucky authorities will not attempt
to mandamus Governor Mount, Of In

ernor Beckham for the arrest OF Fin

ter is wholly within the province of
the Governor of each State and no
legal action can be maintained to en-
force the requisition.
Governor Beckham issued an order
to-day dismissing the Democratic SOL
diers and they will leave for home to-
morrow. In transferring the militia
from the Republican to the Demo-
cratic administration, former Adjutant
General Collier said to his successor:
I'm my opinion it is due to you more
than to any one else In Kentucky that
trouble has been averted.'
Adjutant General Castleman replied:

far more to you. The conditions have

lie peace, TO a degree best known to
