prompted by sincere desire to put an end
10 the prevailing disquiet, President Steyn,
before the receipt OF this dispatch, had
made the same proposal to both myself and
Sir Alfred Miner. We both accepted the
invitation, and the well-known Bloemfon-
tein conference met on the 3lst Of May, 1889,
and lasted several days. With me were
Schalk Burger and A. ID. w. Wolmarans,
members of the Executive Radd, and j, G.

Fischer, member OF the Executive Raad
OF the Orange Free State, kindly offered TO

demanded. however, that the franchise
should be made to depend on the possession
OF certain amount of property and nat
uralization on the production of proof that
the individual concerned possessed civic
rights In his own country. l also asked
that, as a compensation for the conces-
sionS which was making, the British gov
eminent should accept the principle of ar
b1tration in the case of differences between
the two States. Sir Alfred Miner, how
ever, declared that the concessions were
quite insufficient.
During this conference / pointed out to
Sir Alfred that a quantity of the sigma
lures appearing on the petitions to the
Queen were spurious, whereupon the latter
answered:
Very we'll, we will investigate the mat
ter"
He asked me whether the petition which
had been addressed to the government of
the republic did not also contain false sig
natures. L denied this positively, and said
L was prepared at once 10 appoint a COM
mttee to inquire into the genuneness of
both petitions. L said L was further pre-
pared to grant the British government the
right of nominating Englishmen to act as
members of this committee Only the COM
mittee must not be appointed from Eng

this might make ii appear as though the
republic were under British. suzerainty.

and said:

For the rest he continued to insist upon
what he called 'his irreducible minimum 4"
He declared that he had other grievances,
which would remain, even if the franchise
question was settled, and refused to pro-
duce them until the franchise question had
been settled in his way.

musical composition.

CHARLIE FRANKS VISIT
 REVIEWS BASEBALL TALK
ErstWhile Manager Spent Day in Montgomery and Declares He Will Have Team Here
 Next Season.

self yesterday morning. Just what ar rangement was made Is unknown, as MT. Semmes said he could not give any par tic ulars just now.
 President Ragland of the Montgomery Traction Company, as was stated In The Advertiser some days ago, has the fran chise for Montz omery in the Southern League and last night he reiterated the statement that there would be baseball at Pickett Springs or on his line. Now if any arrangements were made yesterday by which Frank gets the ball grounds at Highland Park. it certainly looks like there will be a pretty lively baseball war in Montgomery next sum mer By getting grounds in Birmingham and possibly Montgomery, it looks like Franks people are slowly but surely drawing the lines and getting things in shape.
 The question now Is whether the new league has secured Highland Park or not, aId to people interested in baseball It IS 8 throbbing burning question.
 There are numbers of people who nrmiy believe that the entire matter will be harmoniously settled before the Decem- Der meeting, but one fact remains. the visit of Charlie Frank yesterday has stirred up matters baseball in Montgom- cry to a boiling seething pitch. Frank left last night for Birmingham, and possibly something may develop there today, Squire Brown.

And the nlot thickens.

And the plot thickens.
 The fifteen puzzle is like adding up two and two compared to the very much be- fuddled baseball situation in the South, and more especially in Montgomery.
 Charlie Frank spent yesterday in Mont- gomery.
 A world of significance turks in that simple statement. There was time when the announcement that Charlie Frank was in any old place would scarce ly be of passing interest. This was long before the halcyon days Of Charlie prominence as a stellar baseball magnate. Now his arrival in a town is not only full of interest to people interested In baseball. but to certain people he is looked on as children look on the myth ical "booger" man.
 Frank observed his usual auietness while in Montgomery yesterday, the morning being spent in talking to certain local people, street railway men and others. He made one unqualified state ment, however. and not even the most stringent search could locate any sign of string attached to it.
 We will most assuredly place a club in Montgomery he said, and we have all the financial backing necessary at that
 Franks presence in Montgomery yes- terday was the result of the peace con- ference held in Memphis few days ago between James Palmer. of Nashville, chairman of the Harmony Committee of the Southern League. and Gen. s. T.. Carnes of Memphis, who is the financial power behind Franks new league.
 This meeting as was told in Associated Press dispatches. Time failed in its ob- ject That was to make a compromise between Frank and the Southern League.
 General Carnes is not only extremely wealthy, but he is very determined and at the close of the Memphis meeting he announced that all arrangements for or ganizng a new league would be pushed as rapidly as possible. It was undecided at that time whetter Montgomery or Augusta, Ga, would form one of the circuit. but the result of Franks visit yesterday shows conclusively that Mont gomery has been selected.
 Just who will have charge of Frank s interests in Montgomery is a matter that is shrouded in mystery at present Bill Stickney was with him all day yester- day, but last night stated that personally he cid not know thing about either Franks league or any other league. and that he did not think that anybody would know until after the meeting-or, rather, two meetings-in Birmingham next month. General Manager Raphael Semmes of the Montgomery Street Railway Company said last night that an understanding of some kind was had between Frank and him.
