ERNAiENT ON WHICH DEMAND
CAN BE MADE

Washington, Jan. 29-In obedience TO the request
contained in the Senate resolution OF January D.
the President to-day transmitted to that body the
correspo ldence bearing the claim of R. E.
Brown a citizen of the United States, against the
South African Republic. Most of the papers trans
mitted had already been printed but the Secretary
OF State makes report, in which he says:
With letter dated July 10 1899, Mr. Brown filed
with the Department Of State extended memo
rial alleging that denial Of justice had been COM
mitted in to which he party by the
caused by the interference of the Executive. While
from the showing made there appeared to be
grounds of complaint, yet on account OF the out
break of shortly afterward and of the disap-
pearance OF the organized Government of the South
African Republic which followed, the Department
should be either restoration of that Government
or a new Government definitely organized upon
whom request might be made. If proper, for pay
ment of the claim If it should finally appear that
the claim was we'll founded. end that all judicial
remedies had been exhausted for the correction of
the alleged error in the decision OF the court.
In the mean time there appears to be no organ
lied Government Of that republic upon which the
demand can be made. and this Government has not
yet been advised of the establishment OF a new
Government, with courts organized and authorized
to assume jurisdiction Of cases pending before or
decided by the courts of the South African Re
public.
The only other original communication included
among the documents is a request from Mr.. Brown
for intervention by this Government with Great
Britain for the payment of the claim the ground
that the territory of the South African Republic
has been annexedTo Great Britain.

dignifed footing, and the feeling seems TO be
that it Will prove a success. a good deal of de-
rision excited when the plan first an
nounced owing TO the lack Of prominence Of the
Glen Echo club. The organization did not belong
to the United States Golf Association, and owned
no links. but since that time it has engaged James
Fouls one Of the best professionals in Chicago,
lay out its course, and has started work a
elaborate clubhouse. By the time the champion
ship takes place there is no reason why it should
not be as handsomely equipped in both these re-
spects as any club in the country.
The United States Golf Association has not yet

to lay the matter before the Executive Committee
at its next meeting, when definite action may be
expected. The chief object Of the Glen Echo pay

from both this country and England. and TO accom-
plish this they have promised prizes aggregatng
more than $4,000. \ committee has been ap-
pointed TO confer with other clubs in the vicinity

II IS possible that whatever Grand Jury takes up

NEW COLLEGE GOLF LEAGUE.

An intercollegiate golf tournament may be one Of
the features of college sport in the West next
son. The present Intercollegiate Golf Association
consisting OF Yale. Harvard. Princeton and Coum-
bia has confined its tournaments strictly to East
ern links. and hardly hope for support from
the fresh water universities. For this II is
believed that the Western clubs will take matters
into their hands and organize Western
championship. Badger University. in Wisconsin
has golf club Of more than one hundred members
similar organiza lions have been eSta blIshed at
Northwestern Michigan and Chicago universities
Efforts are now being made 20 bring about
agreement with view TO intercollegiate tourna-
ment in the spring. Among the good players OF
Chicago University Walter Helyer, who
the Riverside championship last year; Milton Fl.
Petit the bicycle rider Lees Ballinger and others.
II the plan goes through independent assoca tion
will probably be organized TO confer the title OF
Western intercollegiate champion.
