ROW IN PRINTING OFFICE
Public Printer Palmer Requests
ResignRtiOns of Two
FOremeB.

WASHINGTON, Sept 2.--Publc Printer
Palmer has requested the designations OF
Oscar J. Ricketts,, foreman of printing and
l.. e. Hay foreman of the job division OF
the government printing Office. basing his
action upon their alleged continued acts
of insubordnation. Both officials have re-
fused to comply with the request, on the
grounds that they are not required to do
so until furnished with specific Instances
of insubordination and given sufficient op-
portunity to reply, as required by the civil
service regulations. Mr. Ricketts, tonight
issued brief statement of the case, at
the same time speaking in behalf of Mr.
Hay. In his statement he says:
We CHay and RicketsD know of no reason
why this request should be made at this
time, unless II arises from the fact that
we were called as witnesses and testified
in the matter of the investigation of the
purchase Of certain typesetting machines
and in that respect we gave evidence fairly
and honestly, as we were obliged to do
under our oaths.
We have declined to comply with the re-
quest for our designations and have sub
mitted the matter to the civil service COM
mission and to the president Of the United
States. We believe that a full and complete
investigation of the situation will result
in our being eXonerated from any charges
made by the public printer.

COLOR LINE IN TRANsvAAL
Negroes Desire 60 Know status of
Race Under Present sys-
TEN OF Law.

JOHANNESBURG. Sept 2.-(special ca
blegram to The Bee.)-The color Ques-
ton is causing no end Of trouble to the
ruling forces in the Transvaal. A deputa-
ton from political organization represent
ing the colored population OF the Transvaal
waited upon Lord Selborne and laid before
him certain grievances with respect to the
tenure " land, the franchise. railway trav-
cling, morality. marriage laws, education
and other important matters. Lord Sell
borne replied to the several points raised
by the deputation. He reminded It that
the franchise, as it now existed, was the
result Of the terms of the Vereening
agreement and was not the outcome OF
delibers policy adopted afterwards. lie
poip' ~ that the native and the col
o. .ons were not a simple matter, as
~ inferred from the language OF the
- -ation. and that unless the real diff
ities and complications of the matter
were recognized the country would not be
able to arrive at any solution of the prob
lem.
That the matter is one which will not
down at bidding is evidenced by the fact
that deputation of the Witwatersrand
church council. representing the Presby-
terrain, Wesleyan, Baptist and Congrega-
tional churches, also waited upon Lord
Selborne and protested against the legisla-
ton tending to restrict the rights of the
natives in the matter Of land tenure.
In the course Of the Interview the depu-
tation raised the entire question of the
status Of the colored people. They declared
that they took their stand on the principle
Of equal political rights for all the civilized
people of South Africa and deprecated the
imposition of any disabilities on civilized
natives They alleged that the latter had
been disappointed in the expectations they
had formed Of British administration and
referred to certain aspects of police admin
istration of municipal regulations as press
ing unjustly on the native population.
Finally they claimed to represent the views
of the moderate party, opposed to the ex-
creme negrophilists at home as well as
the extremists who oppose the negro in
South Africa.
Lord Selborne stated that he did not feel
called upon to put forth any final views
upon what was clearly the most important
| question that the government has to con-
tend with in South Africa. with regard to
the tenure of land by natives, however
the position taken by the government had
been clearly stated by the attorney general.
but in view of the desire expressed by the
legislative council, that land purchased by
natives should be registered in the name
of the commissioner for native affairs, he
thought that the government ought TO ac-
cede to that request. No control, however
would be vested in the commissioner.
| He strongly deprecated the vague state.
ments which had been made regarding the
prevalence of an impression among the ma.
| tives that the British administration wa.
| less just than the Boer government, and
| pointed out that 1t was the duty of every
individual If an instance came to his
knowledge which might give color to such
an insinuation, to report the matter to the
| authorities

BERLIN, Sept. 2.-(Special Cablegram to

BISHOP DENoUNCES TEACHERS
Those Who DishonOred Toast TO the
King Are called to,
Task.

DUBLIN, Sept 2-(Specal Cabegram to
The Bee )-Speaking at a meeting OF ma
tional school teachers at Tuam. Rev. DR..
Healy, Roman Catholic archbishop of
Tuam. referred to the recent disloyal dem
onstration at the teachers dinner at Sligo.
He advised the -eachers to conduct their
legitimate agitation with prudence and cir
cumspectiOn and not allow the behaviour
of a few irresponsible persons to bring dis
credit on their cause The inhabitants of
the west of Ireland always had been genu-
Inc loyalists in spite Of much foolish talk.
but the Orangemen of Belfast were not
genuine loyahsts at all. They only prated
about loyalty to the king but when their
loyalty was tested it was humbug. Their
western forefathers were loyal to Charles
I-perhaps more than he deserved-because
he was the king. They were loyal in their
day to James II-unworthy as he was-be-
cause he was the king, whilst the ancestors
Of those blatant loyalsts sold their king, a
king Of their own blood, and drove his chill
dren into exile. They in the west. were
loyal to King Edward They owed him an
absolute and unconditional loyalty as king
de jure and de facto. The Belfast Orange
men were loyal to the king only because ne
was Protestant king and If his majesty
were to become a Roman Catholic they
would kick his crown into the Boyne and
bring in an usurper These were the per-
sons who lectured national teachers about
disloyalty, when all of their own loyalty
was founded on the sectarianism of the
Bill Of Rights. not on the true principles
OF Christian loyalty. He hoped that no
Irish teacher or Irishman would ever fail
to pay due honor TO the oast Of Edward
VII" who not only royalty but personally
deserved that honor at the hands OF every
Irishman. But II anything could set him
against rising TO do due honor to the name
OF the king. II would he that he was called
upon to do so by loyaIists. who had no real
loyalty. and by hypocrites. who made their
boasted loyalty a pretence to preserve an

ANOTHER SCANDAL rs BREWING
British Navy Promises to he the Sub
ject of Some Unpleasant
Revelations.

LONDON, Sept. Especial Cahlegram to
The Bee.)-There are possibilities Of an
other scandal in connection with the Sc
lection of great naval headquarters sta
ton. II is said that number of insiders"
in army and navy circles are anticipating
turning a pretty penny as the result of
real estate speculations.
But there is a hopeless division of opinion
at the admiralty as to the plans for the
new station at Rosyth outlined by Arthur
Lee, NJ. P. Admiralty officials have ap-
parently been forced back to Rosyth by the
pressure of public and parliamentary opin-
ion at juncture when it was determined
to abandon that scheme. To give It up
would have created an extraordinary scan
dsl under the circumstances especially in
view of the high price already paid for the
site. But many of the navy officers still
cling to the Chatham idea There is stnl
a powerful clique which aims at moving
one of the admirals from. Sheerness, which
is his proper place, and locating him at
Chatham, where he can do nothing An
other proposition is to make a similar
change OF situation in respect of the Naval
School of Gunnery.
Some very strong comments upon these
amazing proposals have just been printed
in The Broad Arrow.
Chatham, that journal points out, is some
twenty-five miles from the North sea, the
usual training ground for naval gunnery.
and there is no place along the Medway
where they could fire a gun. Chatham, as
dockyard for building ships and for re-
pairing them, may be reckoned, says
The Board Arrow, as the best in the United
Kingdom, but to gather a large number of
ships and to keep them shut up In its
~
mistake.
Mr. Arnold Forster, II appears, is still
bent on carrying out his proposal to move
the headquarters Of the engineers from
Chatham to Tidworth and the School OF
