CONFERENCE WITH BOERS
CHAMBERLAIN MEETS BOTHA, DE
WET AND DELAREY.
Lords Kitchener and OnslOw Present
-PrOceedings Secret-Cheers for
the south Africans.

LONDON, Sept. 5.-The conference be-
tween the Boer generals, Botha. De Wet
and Delarey, and Colonial Secretary Cham
berlain was held to-day at Downing street.
The generals were escorted to the Colonial
Office by an official of that department OF
the government, and. drove there in an open
carriage. They received hearty welcome
from the considerable crowds assembled at
either end of the route. The Beers wore
immaculate frock coats and silk hats. and
repeatedly doffed the latter in response to
the cheers. Just prior to the generals de-
parture from their hotel Abraham Fisher,
the Boer delegate, had a conference with
them.
The conference with Mr.. Chamberlain
lasted two hours. Lord Kitchener and
Lord Onslow, under secretary of state for
the colonies, were present. The length of
the conference is said not to have been due
to the controversial character of the pro-
ceedings but. as the Beers spoke in Dutch,
considerable time was occupied in inter-
preting their remarks. Mr.. Chamberlain
has authorized the announcement that the
proceedings will be published later in a
blue book.
The faces of the generals, as they drove
back TO their hotel, gave no hint as to
whether they had derived satisfaction or
otherwise from the conference. They con-
versed together volubly, occasionally rails
ing their hats in response to cheers. Re-
porters were refused all information.

OF the Cincinnati Enquirer. explains how
Judge Parker. whom the Democrats desire
10 nominate for Governor in New York,
happened to be elected chief justice of the
Court OF Appeals in that State in 1897. The
Independents in New York city. who were
supporting the present Mayor Low for
mayor. by some oversight did not put the
name OF the Republican candidate for chief
Justice on their ballot. so that $1,000 60. 900
men who voted for Low did not vote for
chief justice. which elected Judge Parker.
Now that he will not be a candidate for

A CONVERTED MONOPOLIsT.

Tom L. Johnson, mayor of Cleveland and
autocrat of the Democratic party in Ohio,
announces himself as the great trust, mo-
nopoly and corporation smasher He does
not say exactly how or by what means he
will do the smashing, except so far as he
has shown a disposition to wreck the prop
erty of the street-railway companies in
Cleveland by giving franchise to new
corporation on the basis of three-cent
fares. His proclaimed purpose is the mu-
nicipal ownership of street railways and
ultimately the running of them free Of
cost to those who use them
AS Mayor Johnson is certain to be the
most discussed Democrat in the country
for time, it is entirely proper to inquire
erty and he is now several times a million
aire, how many times is of no consequence.
The Journal finds nothing to condemn in
that fact, since those who denounce mil
lionaires as robbers who have taken from
labor the millions they possess are more
or less Socialists and those who were the
most earnest supporters of Mr.. Bryan in
1896. All these in Ohio and many else
where who are now expressing admiration
for Mayor Johnson because he is a mo-
nopoly-smasher ought to be interested to
know by what means he attained millions
of dollars in twenty-five years 1t may
surprise them to know that no man in
this country is "a millionaire entirely.
because he has been a monopolist is
Tom L. Johnson. He is a man Of brains.
quick to see an advantage and to grasp
it, Therefore nearly every patent affect
ing the construction and running of street
railways, that had value he secured. Dur
ing the years that he was preaching free
trade he owned the patent for rail for
street railways under which he manufac-
tured and sold such rails at an exorbitant
price The Tom L. Johnson street rail
was the most complete and one of the most
profitable monopolies the world has wit
messed. With that rail and other facili-
ties he became an owner in part and the
controller of street railways in several
cities-a street-railway magnate, in fact
By the manipulation of such properties he
became a millionaire. AS was stated a few
days ago, he came very near selling to the
people of Detroit for s16O00,OOO a street-rail-
way system which could have been dupli-
Gated for about 100000. in the estimated
value of which he counted as worth several
millions, franchise for which not dol
lar had been paid. The swindle was headed
off. During several years Mr.. Johnson has
been turning his street-railway properties
into bonds and other properties. While
Mr. Johnson was entirely engrossed in the
business he did not advocate three-cent
fares and municipal ownership until the
Detroit affair. Probably few individuals in
the country have realized more from
straight scent fares than has the
Democratic autocrat in Ohio, who goes
forth wearing the self-gilded halo of mo-
nopoly-smasher-in-chi to be the Demo-
cratic candidate for President in 1904.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Sept 5.-The import tax
of 10 cents per pound on tea will be taken
off Jan. 1. 1903. as provided by an act of
the last Congress, but the American house
wife will continue to pay as much for her
tea she does at present. The willy
Japanese and Chinese exporters of this
commodity have been apprised of the re-
moval of the tariff, and have advanced
their prices in proportion, so that the aboli-
ton of the duty will not affect the price in
this country. Thousands of pounds of tea
are stored in bonded warehouses at every
port in the country, waiting for the begin
ming of the new year, when il can be
brought in duty free. Only enough now is
withdrawn to supply the immediate de-
mand, everyone being anxious to take ad-
vantage of the repeal of the old war
duty.

ROME Sept. 5.-The case of Princess
Rospigliosi who was Miss Marie Reid. OF
Washington. for the annulment of her first
marriage with Frederick Parkhurst, OF
Bangor. Me-. involves point of canon
law, the decision of which is considered in
church circles as likely to affect thousands
of marriages of Catholics and non-Catho-
lies in the United States. The application
for the annulment filed fourteen
months ago. 1t is now said the principal
reason for the delay is because the Propa-
ganda was unwilling to decide in favor of
the supplicant on point which might pos
sbly raise the question Of the legality of
many other marriages.
The princess's lawyers expect to secure
an annulment on the ground that there Is
no trace of a dispensation having been
either granted read in the church at
the time of marriage, which, according to
canon law, is indispensable, as Mr.. Park
hurst was non-Catholic.
