Washington, March 2O-The impli-
cation. drawn from the review of the
worlds commerce for 1900. that the
United States has officially recognized
the annexation of the Transvaal and
Orange Free State by describing them
as British colonies is contradicted by
the state department register for 1901.
The register describes the Transvaal
and the Orange Free State as indie
pendent republics. The state depart
ment register conveys the official po-
sition of the government on the ques-
tion. 1t is Il publication of the state
department and is prepared under the
supervision of the chiefs of the depart
ment. The review of the worlds
commerce is prepared in one of the
bureaus of the department. OF course
neither publication could officially de-
termine the attitude of the govern
ment, but If either has any weight the
balance is in favor of the register.
