MADE UNOFFICIAL CALL.
Mckinley Received The Boer ENJOYS Yes
terday.
NO CREDENTIALS PRESENTED BY THEN
TransvsaIers simply Paid Their He-
spects to the, President-Hay's
Statement Is Final.

Washington, May 22.-Messrs. Fischer,
Vessels and Wolmerans, the three Boer
commissioners who are now in this city,
visited the White House at 10 o'clock this
morning, according to previous arrange
ment, to pay their respects to the presi-
dent. No official status was given the
visitors and they presented no credentials.
The ENJOYS we're received in the blue
parlor, no one being present but them
selves, the president and Secretary Cortel-
you. AT first the conversation touched
upon variety OF subjects. The Beers
talked about Washington and told how
they admired the city. whereupon the
president escorted them to- the porch at
the rear OF the executive mansion. wnere
a splendid view is obtainable of the
washington monument and the Potomac
river.
President Kruger's name was finally
mentioned and the visitors then stated
their purpose In coming TO the United
States. They said that they understood
what Secretary Hay told them yesterday
was final and that the position of the
United States was that this country could
not itself intervene in the struggle in
South Africa.
The president confirmed this view. He
said that the action he took some time ago,
when at the request of the government
of the Transvaal that this government
should intervene. he offered his good Of
fees to England to bring about peace, he
took with great pleasure in the hope that
1t might possibly bring the conflict to an
end This offer had been declined by
Great Britain and he said there was moth
ing further that the United States could
do in the promises.
The ENJOYS intimated that they were
glad to feel that they had friends in this
country and then babe the president good
bye.
