KAISER'S REPLY TO KRUGER.

Willing to Assist I'm Friendly Mediation If
Both Opponents Desire 1t.
PRETORIA, Wednesday, March A.
The German consul has handed the fol-
lowing dispatch to President Kruger:
"The government of Germany and
the emperor will be glad and ready to
assist in friendly mediation as soon as
the fundamental conditions to such are
apparent as soon as it is demonstrated
that both opponents desire mediation.
Whether the desire already exists on
the British side can be found by the re-
publics on direct inquiry at London or
through the good Offices Of third gov
eminent which has no important inter-
ests of its own to consider in South At
RIGA. The latter assumption is qualified
with number of nations in and out
side Europe, but not with Germany.
Any such step on the part Of the Ger
man government would awaken suspi-
cions and have other than a humane
tartan view. The increased mistrust
thereby engendered would not promote
a peaceable settlement. The request of
the republics to transmit their appeal
for mediation to the Austro- Hungarian
and Swiss governments, whose inter-
ests are watched by the German consul
ate, has been Immediately fulfilled.

CANNOT REDUCE FARES.
Sweeping Decision of a Federal. Judge in
Michigan.

Sweeping Decision of a Federal. Judge in
Michigan.
DETROIT, March 20.-Judge Swan, in
the United States district court, has
rendered a decision which denies the
validity of an ordinance passed some
months since by the city council, requir-
ing the street railway companies to re-
duce rates of fare to cents. The court
says there is nothing in the charter OF
the city which authorizes such an ordi-
nance, and allows an injunction to re-
strain the city from enforcing it. Said
Judge Swan:
ssTo enforce this ordinance, would be
an act not of regulation, but of spolia-
ton. The police power includes the
general management as regards the pro-
lection of life and property and the ac-
commodation of the public; but the
legislature itself could not affect the
fares agreed upon. 1t might be for the
welfare of the public that fares should
be abolished altogether, but that would
be confiscation and could not be toll
erated.'
A contention of the city, in defending
the injunction suit, wat that, since the
older ordinances provided that rates of
fare ''not exceeding cents could be
charged, that the city had power to
regulate the rates at reasonable" fig
ures. The court holds that the sub
stance or meaning, of all these ordi-
nances permits cent fares, which priv
ilege cannot afterward be annulled.

BECOMES GENERAL.
Machinists All Over the United States and
Canada to BE Ordered Out.

Machinists All Over the United States and
Canada to BE Ordered Out.
CHICAGO, March 20.-After the con-
ference between representatives of the
International Association of Machinists
and the administrative council of the
National Metal Trades association,
President James O'Connen of the union
declared that strikes would be called
Immediately in all parts of the United
States and Canada. Such strikes would
involve 100000 men and cause to be
shut down for an indefinite period
plants having an aggregate capital Of
millions of dollars.
Chicago labor troubles are responsible
for the disagreement which is expected
to precipitate the general machinists'
strike. Were it not for the fact that
leaders Of the machinists' union refused
to call off the strikes that now exist in
Chicago, Columbus, O., and Patterson,
N. j., the manufacturers and the lead
ers it is believed would have come to an
amicable agreement and arbitration
would have been
Permanently Established
between the National Metal Trades
association and the International Assoc
citation of Machinists. The members of
the executive board of the Machinists'
union, however, have refused to call off
the Chicago strike, as they declared that
if they did the Chicago local union would
secede from the international associa-
ton. When the refusal Of the machin-
lists to end the strike was presented to
the manufacturers they issued an ulti-
matum to the labor leaders and on their
refusal to agree to it's provisions all me-
gotiations were broken off.
Before leaving the rooms in which
the joint conference was held President
James O'Connell of the international
union declared that the union would be-
gin Immediately to call strikes in all
parts of the country. After all the
large cities have been tied up strikes
will be called in the machine shops of
all the railroads in the country.

KRUGER INTERVIEWED.

Transvaal President Talks to New York
Herald Correspondent-Not Giving Up.
NEW YORK, March 21.-The CORE
spondent of The Herald at Pretoria
sends the following under date of
Feb. 10: I have just had an interview
with President Kruger who received
me on the piazza of his house.
II am glad" said the president, 'to
welcome the correspondent Of The Her.
aid, as your presence insures that, what
ever may be the result Of this unhappy
war, the world will eventually learn
the truth. This war was forced upon
us by England, misled by Cecil Rhodes
and the mining millionaires who want
the country. The Beers yielded as far
as possible, until they saw nothing but
complete surrender of their indepen-
dence would satisfy England. Having
been forced into the war, the Beers will
conquer or die.
The Transvaal is willing to make
peace at any time, but we want no more
conventions-only absolute indepen-
dence is possible. We do not want more
territory, but are content with our pres
emit frontier, if we are permitted to live
peacefully. This is all we ask.
II recently learned that some Of the
Cape Dutch had been captured by the
British and were being tried in Cape
Town charged with treason. This gov
eminent cabled Salisbury stating that
il such men were not treated as prison.
ers of war, we would make reprisals on
the British soldiers held here. Sails
bury replied lodging the real point and
threatening, if we injured single
British prisoner, to hold me personally
responsible. I suppose he meant the
British would hang me. Such threats
are contemplate and cannot prevent me
from performing my duties to my coun-
try. The Transvaal replied today in.
forming Lord Salisbury that they des.
pise his threats.
It is too early to prophesy the out
come Of the war or it's duration. The
Beers are in Gods hands, and he will
not let us perish.
sour total fighting strength is about
10000, but with Gods aid we can pre-
vail. have about % blood relatives
fighting, and would rather see them all
perish than yield to England's unholy
aggression. This time it is liberty OF
death"

IS NOT ELASTIC
Beveridge Desires It Understood
the Constitution Does Not
Extend,
Except as Congress Shall Delare.
Porto Rico Excepted in Set
Terms.
His Bill Directly Opposed to That
introduced by Senator
Davis.

WASHINGTON, March 20.-Senator
Beveridge has offered the following sub
stitute for the tariff section of the Porto
Rican bill:
Cali articles coming into the United
States from Porto Rico, or going into
Porto Rico from the United States shall
be admitted free of duty, but this act
shall not be construed as extending the
constitution Of the United States or any
part thereof, over Porto Rico, and it is
hereby declared that the constitution of
the United States is not extended over
Porto Rico"
Speaking of the amendment offered,
Senator Beveridge said:
eve have followed the presidents
suggestion appropriating 100000 for
the immediate relief or Porto Rico,
which is more than the house bill would
have given the island in the entire two
years of it's life. This removes the rea-
son which members had for voting for
the bill, and restores us to the position
first announced by the president. The
OOJOSO VI LILY ID U1IC ouA1LO do
that of Senator Davis amendment, but
the latter extends all of the taxation
and revenue provisions of the Constitu-
ton over Porto Rico, and when any part
of the Constitution is extended it is for
ever. 1t may be that experience will
demonstrate that we shall want to
change the laws of taxation of Porto
Rico, and if so, fear that the extension
Of the taxing provisions of the Constitu-
ton would prevent us. On all questions
of power, congress should be left with
an absolutely free and unshackled
hand. I"

A TOPIC OF INTEREST.
Fate of johannesburg Causes Considerable
SDecuIati0n.

Fate of Johannesburg Causes Considerable
Speculation.
LONDON, March 21.-2:30 p. m.-For
all the news that has reached here in 48
hours, Great Britain might almost as
well be at peace. 1t is reasonable to be-
ieve that the relief of Mafeking may be
heard of at any hour.
General Kitchener has entered Prizes
ka, Cape Colony, without opposition,
the insurgents laying down their arms,
which merely confirms the previous re-
ports of their willingness to submit.
Generals Roberts and Butler are still
inactive, pending developments at the
theater of war.
Considerable interest is attached to
the fate of johannesburg. Comment
ing on the reported consultation between
Secretary Hay and the German ambas-
sador at Washington, DIR. Won Holleben,
as to proposition that both belliger-
ents be urged to leave Johannesburg
alone, the Pail Mall Gazette says:
Credited to DIR. Leyds.
"This time DIR. Leyds has, as we may,
without IMPROPERLY assume, put in cir
culation the tale to the effect that the
German ambassador at Washington
and the American consul at Pretoria,
are concocting little scheme of Ger
man intervention. That is really a
glorious yarn and one which shows to
what desperate straits the enemies of
this country are reduced. Just imagine
a government which has formally de-
clined all outside Intervention, permit
ting Germany to dictate the course Of
Lord Roberts march to Pretoria. The
German foreign Office knows better thar
to invite the snub 1t would infallibly re-
ceive if it ventured to whisper SO pre-
posterous proposal in Downing street. "

La W HELD VALID
Federal Supreme Court Upholds
the Texas Antitrust
Statute,
Against Which a Branch of the
Standard Oil Company
Appealed.
Federal Judge Denies Right o.
Detroit to Reduce Street
Car Fares.

United States supreme court an opinion
was handed down in the case of the
Waters Pierce Oil company, involving
its right to do business in the State of
Texas, contrary to the provisions of the
state antitrust laws of 1889 and 1895.
1t was charged among other things that
the Waters Pierce company was mem
Der of the Standard Oil trust, as organ
lied in 1882 and various other allega-
tions were made, but the court did not
enter upon general discussion of
trusts, contenting itself with discus
sion of the Texas law as applicable to
this case. The opinion sustained the
decisions of the state courts to the ex-
tent of affirming them, and was thus
opposed to the contentious of the COM
pany, but it did this upon the ground
that the state laws imposed condition
which the oil company had accepted
and hence was without ground of COM
plant.
The opinion, was handed down by
Justice .McKenna, who, reviewing the
case, said that the Waters-Pierce COM
pany was a private corporation incor-
porated in Missouri, which had begun
business in the state of Texas in 1889.
The suit grew out of the charge that
the oil company violated the statutes of
the state of 1889 and 1895, against
illegal combinations in restraint of
trade, thereby mourning a forfeiture Of
it's permit to do business in the state.
The trial was first had in the district
court Of Tavis county, in which the YER
dict was against the oil company. On
appeal to, the court of civil appeals of
the state, this decision was affirmed,
and it was brought to this court on a
writ of error.
Basis of the Action. !.
The basis of the action was the Stand
ard oil trust organized in 1882, and it
was owned that it's intention was to
control and monopolize the petroleum
industry of the United States in re-
striction Of trade, dividing the markets
Of the United States into various SUBJ
divisions, awarding Texas to the Waters
Pierce company. This decision is based
upon the propositions which were SUBJ
mitted to the jury in the original trial
Justice McKenna said:
.sThe transactions of local commerce
which were held by the state courts to
be violations of the statutes, consisted
in contracts with certain merchants by
which the plaintiff in error required
them to buy of it exclusively, from it
and from no other source, or buy exclu-
sively from plaintiff in error, and not to
sell to any person handling competing
oils, or to buy exclusively from plain
tiffs in error and to sell at price fixed
by it.
'.The statutes" he continued, "must
be considered in reference to these con-
tracts. In reference to the statute they
are now subject to our review on this
record, except the power of the state
court to restrict their regulation to local
commerce, on which contention is
raised" -

Explosives Connned and Cnconnnssl T
There is q widespread misapprehen-
sion in regard to the devastating effect
Of high explosives. When unconfined
the effect even of large charges Of them
upon structures is comparatively
slight. At the naval ordnance proving
ground, SO long ago as 1884, repeated
charges Of dynamite, varying from i've.
pounds to 100 pounds in weight. were
detonated on the face of a vertical tar
get consisting OF eleven one-inch
wrought-iron plates bolted to twenty
!pch oak backing, until $40 pounds Of
dynamite had been SO detonated In
contact with it, and yet the target re-
manned practically uninjured, while at
Braamfontein the accidental explosion
of fifty-five tons of blasting gelatin.
which was stored in railway vans, ex-s
cavated but 10000 tons of soft earth.
Thus at Fort Lee, on the Hudson, but
two tons of dynamite placed in a cham-S
Der in the rock and tamped brought
down 100000 tons OF the rock; at Lam
beris, Wales, two tons and a half Of
gelatin dynamite, similarly placed.
threw out 10000 tons of rock, and at
the Talcen Mawr, in Wales. seven tons
Of gunpowder placed in two chambers
in the rock dislodged from $4,000 to
100000 tons of rock.
