London. Oct. Z, | a m:-Viscount de Mateha.
formerly Consul-General and special plenipo-
tentiary for Portugal in the Transvaal has
issued pamphlet reviewing the administration
In South Africa during the last quarter of a
century The viscount throws little light on the
political intrigues of the Boer Government. He
states that Conyngham Greene. the British rep
resentative at Pretoria kept well Informed
OF the doings of Mr.. Kriiger and the prepara-
tons that were being made by the Beers for war
Mr. Greene was also supplied by friends with
the correspondence of the Transvaal representa-
tiVes and agents in Europe with Pretoria, detail
ing their interviews with different foreign min
listers on the European continent besides copies
OF official and secret correspondence that went
from Pretoria TO Europe. 1t is only fair to
sumo that Mr. Greene forwarded all the docu-
1nents that came into his hands to the British
Government, that 1t becomes more difficult
than ever to understand Englands unprepared-
ness for this war. Copies of the secret corre-
spondence are, says the viscount, still in exist
ence for all that is known to the contrary Be-
fore hostilities broke one of the parties who
held the information sent the particulars out of
arrival Of Lord Roberts Pretoria an order
was given to send the pa pers back to the Trans
vaal capital. Directly afterward it was deemed
ut TO countermand this order. but lest the pa
pers should be lost, the ciphers confded TO
Major Poore, provost marshal at Pretoria.
The writer of this. pamphlet expresses the
hope that when the time is ripe and seasonable
the press will be in a position to publish this

Many people consider that the contest is
international one private individual should
be permitted to try and bring back the trophy
TO this country The challenge should. it is

body and there is club in the United King
dom that has a better claim to represent the
British yachting interests than the Royal Yacht
| Squadron. So far is known. however. there
is no intention on the part of the famous Cowes
club to take any steps in the matter. Some
stories are current in Glasgow of new challenges,
| and it is said that the German Emperor
has an eye on the Cup. but little reliance need be
placed rumors of this nature.

ganda in London and has been holding Sunday
meetings to promote what il calls useful work
One of its teachers whose instructions it aims

| anarchist. Yesterday the society held meet
| ing to listen to lecture by a New-York man
named Kelly. who had been invited to give
anarchist view OF President Mckinley. The
| form of Keys address not especially vio-

one of excuse for the assassination OF the Presi-
dent. There was no condemnation OF the crime;
| in place of 1t Kelly expressed the conviction
| that if the killing OF President Mckinley opened
the eyes of capitalists and induced them to treat
| their workpeople better great good would be
| done. one of the speakers who followed the
| lecturer simply regretted that the bullet was
wasted on Mr.. Mckinley, whom he characterized
| a mean creature. The Standard" refers TO
! this meeting in it's editorial columns for the
| purpose of drawing attention to the criminal
methods taught in London. and concludes by
| saying:
