Great Britain may now contend that, similarly
the Orange State thus participated in the Trans
walls dependence upon Great Britain 1t is not
at all unlikely however, that no such pretext
will be made, and that Great Britain will de-
prive the Orange State of its independence as
simple act of conquest and of punishment. pre-
cisely as Prussia dealt with Hanover In 1866
AS we have already pointed out, there will be
the more justification for that in the fact that
the Orange State on its part made this a war of
conquest against the British Empire.
1t is to be assumed, however that Great Brit
Her magnanimity will not go so far as to grant
independence to the Boer States But she may
well grant almost everything short of that If
the two States should unreservedly acknowl-
edge British suzerainty and confess themselves
members of the empire, If they should raze the
fortresses which they have erected for menace
to no one but Great Britain and abolish the mil
tary ornaments which they have created for
no possible purpose but TO fight that Power, if
they should grant in good faith full equality of
civil and political rights TO all white men of
whatever race, and If they should grant to Eng-
lish speaking men the same freedom and power
that Dutch speaking men have in Cape Colony,
then there seems to be no good reason why the
British Government should not permit the States
TO remain unchanged in name, in territorial in
tegrity and in republican form of self-govern-
ment. Great Britain does not want to create
another Ireland" in South Africa, but rather
another Canada. If she deals with the Beers as
she has dealt with the Frenchmen of Quebec
there should be peace with honor and with
friendship between the two races.

CHINESE MISSIONS

Bishop Gambler Says Work viii
Go on as Heretofore.
MISSIONARIES NOT SCARED
They Have Never Been Called from
China and Will Not Be Bishop
viii son to Hold Chinese
Conference

Macon, Ca, September 1.-Bishop War
rem A. Gambler of the Methodist Church
was asked today what the attitude of the
church toward the Chinese missions would
be in view of the present troubles in emma
THE church is absolutely unaffected by
the troubles in China, and the missions
the, will proceed as they have hitherto
said the Bishop. 1T will be the same as
when Paul went into Philipp These
troubles there had no effect on hum and his
going was vastly more important to the
world than the war which is in progress
The missionaries in China will lave
more influence on the future OF that ma
over.
Indeed we have nothing to do with the
results OF our labors in China. We have
the command to do it, and the work must
go on
.Will the missionaries be sent back into
Cana as soon as the trouble has abated
there?' was asked.
.They never have been called away from
Inere, and will not be. Some of them have
left their posts for the time being, but
Bishop Wilson has already gone to China
to hold the Chinese conference, and the
work will continue as heretofore.
"Oh, lie missionaries are not scared. 1t
is capital that is scared for them. Peo-
pie who want the missionaries to come
home are those who don't want to sup
port them"

ENGLAND'S ATTITUDE
Will Not Withdraw Her Troops With
out an Understanding

London, September 2-4:25 a. m.)-The
latest dispatches from the Chinese capital
being now ten days old, is arousing some
anxiety, but as the country between Pc
kin and the coast Is known to be swarm
ing with armed bands of Boxers 1t is not
surprising that couriers are not able to
reach Tien Tsin. Shanghai reports are to
the effect that heavy French reinforce
Chang, 1t is said, has told a diplomat that
Russia, considering the mission to Pekin
accomplished, has agreed to request the
powers to follow her example and with
draw their Ministers and troops The
French Consul however, declares that
such a request to France is entirely i'm
probable.
special dispatch from Berlin says 1t Is
reported that Germany has rejected the
Russian proposal for the withdrawal of the
troops and has made a counter propoca1
that Russia shall retire, leaving the other
powers to follow their own course.
According to news agency report, thee
it not much doubt in London official circles
as to the attitude of England. 1t pointed
out that the withdrawal from Pekin at the
present moment without a definite UNDER
standing with the Chinese government
would be simply counting recurrence of
recent events No undertaking by Ii Hung
Chang would compensate for the difficulties
of further negotiations from the coast
Until the powers receive direct assur-
ance from the Chinese government, Eng
land is not prepared to withdraw her
troops.

NEW BRUNSWICK
Reorganization of Cabinet Not Due to
Crisis

Fredericton. N. B., September 1.-The
resignation of Hon. Henry r. Emerson,
Premier of New Brunswick and reorgan-
ization of the Cabinet, announced last
night, were not due to a government Crisis
or difference of opinion. The changes
grew out of the political relations between
the Canadian and the Provisional Govern
ments. Both are strongly liberal and work
together in all campaigns.
The Ottowa Government is expected to
dissolve the House of Commons in short
time. and it is understood Premier Elmer
son resigns in order to strengthen the lib
erals in the Federal contest. In this Prov
ince they hold less than half dozen seats,
and strong efforts will be made to gain
ground. 1t is thought Mr.. Emerson may
be a candidate for the House of Commons

AMERICAN AGENTS
AFTER BUSINESS
Coal Operators and Representa-

IMPORTANT DEALS ON FOOT
Several Big Government Contracts May
be Secured-France and Russia
Are in the Market-Caused
by European Famine

London, Sept. 1.-American coal operators
and their agents are apparently swarming
to England and rumors of many important
deals have filled the air during the past
week.
W. P Rend of Chicago is here on his way
to Paris. He is hopeful of supplying both
the French and Russian navies with steam
coal from West Virginia. Mr.. ftend had a
long interview with the Russian naval at
tache today before proceeding to Paris.
E. NJ Hopkins of Philadelphia, this morn
ing closed a contract for 10000 tons of Penn
sylvania run of mines for immediate de-
livery at a Mediterranean port. Mr.. Hopkins
said to a representative of the Associated
Press: English consumers are not familiar
with American unscreened coal, but con-
tinental dealers are. Therefore, 1 am selling
them 1 do not anticipate trouble in secur-
ing charters.
President cassatt of the Pennsylvania
Railroad has gone to Paris on the same
business, while the presence of Robert
Pitcairn. superintendent of the Pennsylva-
MAS Pittsburg division, at the Carlton
HOTEL is occasioning considerable gossip.
Mr. Pitcairn goes to Scotland for a Visit 10
Andrew Carnegie early next week and 1t
has been said there is on foot scheme to
provide the Pennsylvania coal syndicate
with transatlantic transportation.
Mr.. Pitcairn said to a representative of
the Associated Press: MY visit to Mr.
Carnegie is not exactly upon the errand
Suggested. I am not quite sure how long
the present famine under existing condi-
tons in England will continue. My per-
sonal idea is that American mine owners
are apt to find a better market in Mediter-
ranean OF Black Sea ports than in coun-
tries where England herself will be COM
petitor. Under fair conditions l believe the
United States can supply England's former
customers on the continent with profit"

UNCLE SAM AWAITS
REPLIES TO HIS NOTE
No Responses to the Russo-American Proposals
Have Been Received at Washington

China comes as surprise and eXcites
great interest. The Mexican Herald says:
TT is a pretty definite intimatlon of an
existing alliance between Germany and the
most martial and aggressive South Ameri-
can Republic, the only one which is clearly
hostile to the ideas and views of the
United States. The Chilean army has been
drilled and disciplined by the German mill
tary instructors. Military men of the Re-
public are permeated with German ideas,
and any day that the German colonists in
Brazil give that country trouble it seems
reasonably probable that Chile will be
found espousing the cause of the German
settlers in Rio Grande do Sui. We have
pointed out that the time is coming when
the United States must fight a big war to
sustain the Monroe doctrine"

Ii HUNG CHANG IS ACCEPTABLE
Acceptance of the Russo-American Pro-
position Will Avoid a CONFUSION
in China and Minimize Dam
ger of Further Conflict

Paris, Sept. 1.-The Chinese situation, as
viewed In Paris, has assumed a brighter as
pect. The practical unanimity of the United
States, Russia, France and Japan, In the
desire to maintain the integrity of the EN-.
pire, Is regarded as disposing of any ques-
ton of partition England's position is I'M
doubtedly as strongly favorable to the FORE
going policy as Is that of any power men,
toned, but 1t Is more pleasing to France
that bonds of accord should be shown be-
tween the United States and France and
Russia, and that these nations should ap-
pear to be the controlling influence towards
peace.
Americas proposition to accept Ii Hung
Chang as go-between in the negotiations
is we'll received, although 1t is still desired
that he produce tangible evidence that he
is acting from the central power. In fact,
France Is ready to treat with any plenipo-
tertiary able to furnish proper credentials.
Russias proposal to withdraw the troops
from Pekin comedies with the feeling enter
tanned in Paris in favor of a conciliatory
policy.
The acceptance of the two propositions by
all the powers Is considered an important
step towards a satisfactory solution. and
one which will avoid causing a CONFUSION
within China, and will minimize the danger
of conflict among the powers. Germany and
Italy form doubtful factor In the pres
emit exchange of views, but 1t is thought
the weight of the pacif influence of the
other nations will bear down any belli-
cose intentions on their part in the scales
of European policy.
