the home of Dick, where the people
knew him best.
1t was warm one that Johnson
handed out, even though it was a small
question, and 1t almost caused the
Republican organ over there to throw
a fit.
johnson said to the 1000 or 5000
people assembled to hear him that as
Dick had asked him why he did not
pay his taxes he presumed to have the
right to ask why Dick did not pay his
debts.
Then the vast audience shouted, and
it was several minutes before Johnson
could 60 on. When quiet was restored
Johnson said that he observed that
the people were acquainted with Dick.
The shouting was resumed, which in
dicated that Akron people knew some
thing about Dick and debt
OF course this question from john
son was regarded by some Republican
cans as an outrage perpetrated in
Dicktown and an abuse of the general
and almost Of the army.
But everything is fair in politics. as
in love and war. If JohnSon's taxes
alleged TO be due and never collected
by Republican officials are an issue
in this campaign then Dicks debts are
an issue.
The next general epistlc Of the gen
eral should contain something about
payment of debts before having any
thing to do with the campaign.

ARGUMENT OF PR0.B0ER
LETTER TO PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
ON THE MULE QUESTION.
Peter Won vIissinger Thinks 1t Is n
Violation of Treaty to Permit Brit
ain to Buy Animals Here.

CHICAGO, April 1s.-Peter Van Vlissin-
gen, who has been one of the most active
friends of the Beers in Chicago, to-day
sent TO President Roosevelt an open letter
advancing an argument against the British
mule traffic in the United States. He de-
clares the traffic is in violation of the
treaty of Washington. Article 6 of that
treaty" the letter reads, lays down three
rules by which erbitrators are to be gov
erned. The second rule declares "a neutral
government is bound not to permit or suffer
either belligerent to make use of it's ports
or waters as the base of naval operations
against the other or for the purpose Of re-
newaI or augmentation of military sup
plies or arms or the recruitment Of men,"
Further along the letter says: Great
Britain made no scruple of asserting the
terms of the treaty of Washington against
this country on the first and only occasion
when our government was at war with a
foreign state. April 20. 1898, the day after
war was declared between the United
States and Spain. Queen Victoria issued a
proclamation Of neutrality, insisting upon
the observance of the treaty. saying: In

British Terms to BE Submitted to n
PIebiscite, According to the
Laws of the Beers.
AN ARMIsTICE NOT GRANTED
But LORD KITCHENER WILL FACn-
TATE THE PLEBIsCITE.
Announcement by Mr.. BaIfour, Who
Also Said the Result Would Not
BE known for Three Weeks.

LONDON, April Is. - The government
leader, a. ]. Balfour, in the House of Com
mons to-day made the following important
statement:
AFTER two conferences between Lord
Miner, the British high commissioner
of South Africa, and Lord Kitchener
and the Boer delegates at Pretoria, Lord
Kitchener, while refusing to grant an
armistice on military grounds, has agreed
to give facilities for the election and meet
ing of representatives of the Boer COM
mandos to consider the position. The Boer
leaders nave therefore left Pretoria to
carry out this plan"
Mr.. Balfour added that it was not expect
ed that communication between the British
authorities and the Boer leaders could be
resumed in less than three weeks time.
Mr.. Balfour's statement made a generally
favorable impression. 1t was argued among
the members that the action of the Boer
leaders demonstrates that, at any rate, a
majority of the delegates favor the ac-
ceptance of the suggested British peace
terms. The submission OF the question to
a plebescite of the burghers is according
to Boer law, which requires the leaders
of armed forces in the field TO take the
opinion of their followers. before concluding
peace.
1t is officially asserted that the continent
tai statements TO the effect that the Boer
leaders went to Pretoria at the sugges-
ton of the British authorities are abso-
lutely unfounded. The action of the Beers
was entirely spontaneous, and this is re-
garded here as the best evidence of a
genuine desire to bring about a settlement
by peaceful negotiations and as indicative
of the character of the advice which will.
be given TO the burghers by the leaders,
