Result of British Cabinet Meeting
Wired to acknowledgements Is
Confident of Pence.


London, May 27.-The British cabinet
was in session for two hours to-day
discussing the communications receiv-
ed from Pretoria since the meeting of
the ministers on Friday last. 1t is UNI
derstood that the inner committee of
the cabinet will telegraph the result
of the deliberations to Pretoria this
afternoon. The Boer delegates at the
Transvaal capital will then probably
return to Vereeniging and report 10
the burghers who are still assembled
there.
According to the views of officials
here there is nothing to warrant the
pessimistic opinions expressed in some
quarters regarding the ultimate out
come of the discussions at Pretoria
and Vereeniging. The Associated
Press learns that the government con-
tinues to be satisfied that the nego-
tiations will result in peaceful settle
ment. Some minor points are still be-
ing discussed. but these are expected
to be fully disposed of within day or
two.

Reciprocity Endorsed.

The only contest in the committee on
resolutions was on the Cuban reciproc-

endorsement of the policy of President
Roosevelt and of the Ohio Republican
congressman with the exception of Gen.

has not co-operated with Congressman

was adopted with this single exception

The Big Boss Is the whole Thing ut

The Big Boss Is the whole Thing ut
the Ohio Republican Convention.
Cleveland, May 27-The feature of
the Republican state convention here
to-day was the unanimity of sentiment
in favor of Senator Hanna. lie has
been the center of interest since his ar
rival from Washington last Sunday.
The conferences of leaders with him
continued to-day, but when it came to
the meeting of the delegates by con-
gressional districts the sentiment for
him was demonstrated in an unprece-
dented degree. His friends had claim
ed eighteen out of the twenty-one dis
tricts and more than realized their ex-
pectations. Interest conferred in the Sc
lection of state committeeman
as the new state central COM
mittee, selected to-day, will
have control next year, when
members of the Legislature are elected
who will choose the successor to Han
ma in the Senate. 1t is claimed Tonight
that there was only one anti-Hanna
man selected on the new State Commit
tee and that he has been "reconciled. 4"
The drift of sentiment in all the pre-
liminary meetings was most enthu-
siastic for the senator, and in the con-
vention the delegates would not rest
until he got up and showed himself,
although he insisted that he would not
discuss the issues in advance of the
keynote speech of Gen. Grosvenor, who
is to be the permanent chairman.
The convention was in session but an
hour and transacted only routine bust
ness. The Committee on Resolutions
practically completed the platform to-
night
