A BoER CONFERENCE.

The Boer delegates In this country,
Messrs, vessels, Wolmarans and
White are evidently laboring with
some specific end In view. though what
that really is. does not appear clearly

their dasire is TO raise up friends for

about secret meeting between these
Beers and Dr. b. c. Clark, a former
member Of Parliament, who Is said to
be one Of the strong leaders of the
English peace party The meeting was
arranged with great secrecy and Or
Clark, Il seems, was annoyed when he

The decision of Judge Coke OF the

tsry Of the Treasury Gage, that an
American citizen lost his citizenship by
a residence abroad Of more than five
years was right and sensible, An
American citizen never loses hiscitizen-

the United States and takes the oath

Mr. Cages ruling was arbitrary and
absolutely without authority of law
It was an assumption by an executive
officer of both legislative and judicial
powers If secretary Of the treasury

citizenship by remaining abroad more
