 Mr. Reitz, under date of May 10, wrote MT. Steyn that q meeting of the Trans vaal government had been held attended oy General Botha, General Viljoen and Mir. Smutz, to consider the national situ- ation. He went on to catalogue the diff culties, the numerous surrenders of burgh- CTS entailing heavy responsibility on the government, the rapidly decreasing sup ply of ammunition, the disintegration of the government and the lack of any def- nite assurances of European intervention.
 s'In view Of these facts, he said, ..the government has decided to address a mes sage to President Kruger pointing out the terrible conditions. 'The time has passed for us to let m. tiers drift as at presesS. We must take final step"
 MT. Steyn, replying May 15, upbraids MT. Reitz with weak heartedness, sdying:
 There is still sufficient ammunition to continue the struggle. You ask what pros pect there is of a successful termination. ask what chance there was for two small republics when they declared war against the mighty power of Great Brit ain. You will answer that we trusted Ill 1.,4 reason is there now to place less trust in God? I have seen recent European news papers, and I firmly believe that compH- cations will occur in Europe in the course of few months which will secure our good fortune"
 MT. Steyn also says the fact that Mir Kruger and the Boer delegates remain in Europe conyinces him that they consider the case not beyond hope. He adds that he has summoned General De Wet and urges Mir. Reitz to take no steps until he has heard further. from him.

The Amalga- mated people say they have their doubts as to that.claim being realized
 Developments at Duncansville are anxiously watched. A delegate from this city went there last night at the request of the men with the intention of organizing them, and if he succeeds they will all go out which means that every plant of the American Steel Hoop company will be idle.
 At Vandergrift, the situation is still favorable to the company and although the Amalgamated people are not leav- ing stone unturned to get the men to join them, their efforts so far are not met with any great success.
 Locally the situation presented no new features this morning. At the Painter and Lindsay and McCutcheon mills, the only signs of life were the few hands engaged at repairs. The strikers at these plants ys1el be paid off this afternoon. No trouble is expected in the billet mills and open hearth furnaces at Clafks works in the Law renceyille district were still working this morning but the other depart ments were idle
 There is a rumor that non-union men had been secured to operate this plant and that an effort will be made Monday to start up all the furnaces.

thuSiastic

Andrew Nelson, of Austin, read a very
able paper on "The Business Course. -
Manual Training was the subject of an
exceptionally practical paper by Supt
G. A. Franklin of Faribault He gave a
history of the manual training in Fari-
bault, and costs. He advocated that only
the. best of material be used when es-
tablished; that the cost of material add
ed little to the taxes. The discussion
was opened by George Neitbrecht, princi-
pal manual training, high school, ST.
Paul. He spoke from wide experience
and his remarks were to the point The
discussion was closed by Hon. F. NJ.
Currier, of Mankato. His remarks were
from a business point of view, and favor
ed manual training. He. thought it would
improve the accuracy of detail, in which
many high school students are careless.
This closed the largest and most sue
cessful meeting of the association. Over
