M'KINLEY AND BRYAN M ILL, HEAD THE TICKETS IX lOOO, SAYS JONES, OF NEVADA. He Also Asserts Trusts "Will Be the Chief Issue Hoes Tickled When Tamnianyltes Yelled for Bryan. NEW YORK. July 5. Senator John P. Jones, of Nevada, is quoted In an Interview as saying: "The Democrats certainly will make a strong fight against trusts in the next presidential campaign. Just how the subject should be treated I will confess I do not know at present. It 13 a difficult problem. It is easy enough to shout 'Down with trusts but what are you going to do about it? Take the one that is most often made the target the Sugar Trust. You go to the members and they say: 'Yes, we own all the sugar refineries; we are Incorporated according to law.' Now, will we pass a law that a concern shall own only so much property, or what shall we do? What difference would it make to us if there were a thousand independent refineries and as many middlemen? I am strongly opposed to trusts. The exact remedy for the evil Is not clear to me. There would be no trusts if it were not for the gold standard, the shrinking currency and falling prices." "Does the anti-trust idea for a Democratic campaign Issue mean that Bryan will be the candidate?" -Certainly. It will be Bryan and McKInley over again. That does not mean that the silver issue will be shelved, either. It will be rather overshadowed probably by the anti-monopoly movement. There are many people who will never understand the currency question, and in the face of a eemblance of prosperity the silver issue may be submerged for a time. It will 'not ttav down, however." "How is the Fhilippine situation regarded in the West?" "In California, where all the troops have been shipped, the people have made money out of it. and may want the Philippines. I cannot see what any one else can want of them. I think the question is weakening President McKnllcy in other parts of the West." What Tickled Mr. Hokk. NEW YORK, July 5. Ex-Governor James P. Hogg, of Texas, who stampeded the Tammany Fourth of July miss meeting for Bryan said, last night: "I did not know there was a Van Wyck boom on. I did not expect to attend tho meeting at all, much less to speak. You know what those liveminute extemporaneous speeches are. A fellow never gets a chance to say all he wants to say, and what he does say is more than he ought to say. What I. say is. what's the use of meeting any way unless a fellow can fay what he feels like saying? I feel very kindly toward Tammany. Its leaders have always shown me the utmost courtesy and cordiality. Therefore, I don't want anybody to think that I was anxious to get an opportunity to spoil a Tammany meeting. Nobody told me anything about Van Wyck and how could I be expected to know. What tickled me was the way the boys hollered when I said Bryan. I tell you there is no use talking, Bryan and Stone are the men for i:;." Toledo Jones Heady for Sacrifice. TOLEDO, O., July 3. Mayor Jones today gave the Associated Press a signed statement concerning his opinion of the recent Buffalo conference. He denies the recent published interviews that he is not ready to be an independent candidate for Governor of Ohio and states that he is ready if the people want him. Among the thinRS he says of tho conference are: I certainly never have had the pleasure of meftinp; an assembly where there was more genuine spirit of devotion. There was a notable absence of the long-haired man and the short-haired woman. It is true that the man with a cure-all was slightly represented, but only slightly. The conference was entirely optimistic and believers in Independence in politics. Of course the conference was socialistic. It based the hopes of mankind on socialism and not Individualism. Iubllc ownership of all utilities was held as the only solution of the present dirliculty." Social Labor Party Ticket. LOUISVILLE, Ky.. July 5.

Buffalo Reformers Denounced. KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 5.-A dispatch to the Journal from Topeka, Kan., quotes United States Senator W. A. Harris, Populist, in discussing the recent reformers' convention at Buffalo, as follows: "The proceedings of that convention are too absurd to be taken seriously by the American people. The meeting reminded me of the oldtime Populist conventions. Wl.en our party first came into existence it war composed of men who had Ideas of their own. They left the other parties because they would not adopt those ideas. When they came to our party they all tried to get their freak ideas into the platform. That's what they came for. That Buffalo convention was made up of the same class of people, only more radical, if anything, than the wildeyed Populists of Kansas in 1S0O. On account of its radical action the convention plans tfor accomplishing .good will misKentccky Republican Politics. FRANKvXRT, Ky., July 5.-Rumors that Auditor Stone's name will not go be 'ore the Lexington Republican convention and that the Stone-Pratt combine, supported by a full slate of candidates for minor state offices, would unite on John W.

Taylor people, it is said, hope in this way io pun away mucn or Taylors instructed vote through the "combine" of their candidates for minor offices, and nosslhlv r?pfnt Taylor, who now has more than enough votes to nominate.

Thurman to-day gave out an interview, the first since the Chicago conference, regarding the Vice Presidency.

Tin-Plate Workers and Employers to Meet iu Chicnso This Week. PITTSBURG, July 5. Another conference on the tin plate workers' wage scale has been arranged. It will be held in Chicago on Friday-by the committees of the Amalgamated Association and the American Tin Plate Company. The officials of the Amalgamated Association have received the results of the meetings throughout the country on the tin plate scale, and the committee has been granted discretionary power, but It is urged to. insist on the original demand for an advance of 20 per cent., which was rejected at the last joint conference. There seems to be no doubt that a settlement will be reached at the coming conference and that all the factories in the country will be in operation again next Monday. Street-Hallway Employes Pacllled. CLEVELAND, O., July 5. Through the mediation of the special committee that settled the recent street-railroad strike a con ference was held to-day by officers of the Big Consolidated Company and a commit tee of their employes. The latter were of the opinion the company was not living up to the agreement which ended the strike and had made complaint to the special committee. The matter was discussed be hind closed doors and the employes were given such explantaions as convinced them the company was fulfilling the agreement as rapidly as was possible. There is no possibility of a renewal or the strike, which has been threatened by certain radical members of the union. Striking Miners Sent to Jail. SPRINGFIELD, 111., July 5.

BRAZOS VALLEY FLOOD

ADDITIONAL DETAILS OF THE RE CENT DISASTER IX TEXAS. Water Ten Feet Higher than In 1883 40O Xeg-roes Huddled on Slound Flood In Kansas. GALVESTON. Tex.. July 5.-The Texas flood situation results from four days steady rain, beginning June 2$, which at some points partook of the nature of cloudbursts. In some cases the rainfall was two Inches and at several places it was reported as eight inches. These heavy rainfalls1 caused rivers to overflow, in some cases reaching the highest points known. In the central part of the State the flood reached its height Saturday and Sunday. The Brazos river at Waco flooded part of the town, but there was no loss of life. At Hearne and Navasota the same was true. The Brazos valley at Calvert, Robertson county, was flooded so suddenly that plantation hands could not reach high ground. Reports were circulated that fifty people were drowned. As the waters recede near Calvert the facts are found to be that fourteen lives were lost. All of the victims were negroes except one. Many head of cattle were drowned. On Monday the railroads in the central part of the State were in fair condition. All roads were resuming through traffic when, on Tuesday, the floods, reached the southern part of the State. To-night the flood connditlon In the lower Brazos valley at Brookshire, Wallls." Richmond, Rosenberg. Thompson, Duke, Areola, Fulshear, Chenango and Columbia is very bad. Wallis reports the Brazo3 is ten feet higher than In 1SS3. , Backwater within one mile and a quarter of the town Is ten feet deep. The San Antonio & Aransas Pass bridge at Wallls is two feet under water. The Southern Pacific, west of Houston, is washed out near Rosenberg and Richmond: The Santa Fe is washed out near Thompson. It Is feared when the rise now at Wallls gets to Rosenberg and Thompson the consequences will be serious. At 8 o'clock tonight the river is rapidly rising at Thompson. The International & Great Northern is open north and will be open to San Antonio to-morrow. All communication from Galveston and Houston via the Sante Fe, Galveston, Houston & San Antonio, the San Antonio & Aransas Pass and the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railroads is cut off. The only lines open are the Texas & New Orleans, the Houston, East & West Texas, the International & Great Northern and the Kansas City, Pittsburg & Gulf. The little town of Brookshire, in Waller county, where the Missouri. Kansas & Texas Railroad crosses the Brazos river, is surrounded by water. Many hands were caught in trees. Those driven out of the valley flocked to the town and are being fed. The citizens of Brookshire appealed to Governor, Sayers for help. Governor Sayers appealed to the citizens of Houston. Galveston and San Antonio. The first carload of provisions was sent from Houston this morning. Two carloads of provisions were sent from Galveston. Many contributions were sent freely. Rumors were current that many lives were lost at Brookshire, but there is only positive information that two lives have been lost. Congressman Hawley has wired Governor Sayers to ask the secretary of war for authority to send boats from Galveston up the Brazos river to rescue the people caught in the flood. Boats have already been sent from Houston. Others have been made on the scene of the flood. One fact which tends to discredit heavy loss of life In the lower Brazos valley is that the planters knew the flood was coming and had time to warn their hands. Outside of the disasters at Calvert and Brookshire there have been about six drownings during the past week at different points in central and southern Texas due to the floods. The News correspondent at Sealey has just returned from the Brazos river. He reports 400 negroes, destitute and home less, huddled on a mound. The people of San Felipe have reached the limit of their ability in assisting them and appeal for outside aid. Bacon and" meal are needed. A negro, who recklessly attempted to swim his horse across the river, was drowned. The Gulf. Colorado & Santa Fe Railroad sent a relief train to Thompson this afternoon to rescue a party sent out on a work train to sandbag the bridge. The people of Thompson were also invited to come away. The train returned to the city to-night after accomplishing its mission. An Appeal for Aid. AUSTIN, Tex., July 3. The Governor received the following from Galveston tonight: - "My information this afternoon shows appalling conditions from flood, with continued rise and spread of waters until probably 25,000 square miles are under water south of Calvert. Relief should be Immediate, and, I fear, on a more extensive scale than private subscriptions, no matter how generous, can provide. Under the circumstances I deem it expedient to make the situation known to the secretary of war and ask that relief boats now in Galveston be permitted to ascend the rivers, and at points inaccessible to them to use their launches ard yawlboat?, and at the same time provide for the distribution of ten thousand rations. If you concur I have the honor to suggest that you wire the secretary of war accordingly. Meantime Galveston and doubtless other committees will proceed with the work of relief to the full extent of their mean?. I await your action and will join. If desired. TV Hf.cnntrh nM9 signed hv It.

The Governor's dispatch to the secretary of war follows: "Please immediately order by wire boats at Galveston to ascend rivers, nclnfT lniinr-hM and vawis to rescue Deoole from the waters which are widespread over the lands of the lower Brazos. Please also order commanding officer at San Antonio to nt'ira ut mv rl I c; rwvs rt 1 fnr Immediate distribu tion 10,000 rations.

Prompt action very important. Answer." Ttvo Hundred Said to Have Perished. CHICAGO, July 5. A special to the Tribune from Fort Worth, Tex., says: "Tonight a telephone message from Deputy Sheriff Swerenl, of Calvert, says fully two hundred lives have been lost by flood within a radius of thirty miles of Sealey. Last night and to-day nearly one hundred were drowned in the .vicinity of 'the mound a small piece of high land near old San Phillpl. to which hundreds of negroes fled from the Brazos bottoms, taking their horses and cattle. The waters have gradually encroached upon them until only about half an acre of space remains and this the water probably will sweep over be fore morning. There are three hundred ne groes huddled there to-night with death staring them in the face. Drowning is almost sure, while starvation is certain. The nearest point of land is three miles away." V Wheat and Barns Afloat. CIIANUTE, Kan., July 5.-The Neosho river is out of its banks at this place and steadily Tiring. . The levees are broken at several points and the bottom lands for miles up and down the river are flooded. Trains on the Missouri, Kansas & Texas road, from Parsons, and Atchison. Topeka & Santa Fe trains, from Pittsburg, are compelled to go by way or uherryville on account of the noodintr of the bridges. Thousands of dollars' worth of wheat in Stacks la floating down the river with barns and outbuildings. The biggest flood In the history of this section was July.

All small rivers In this section are out of their banks and three bridges have been carried away In Allen county.

William Jennings Bryan has refused, by proxy of his wife, to accept either a carload of Georgia watermelons or the unpaid freight bill for the same. Some warm-hearted Southerner, whose idea of the Silver man's eating powers was apparently somewhat overdrawn, sent from Marion, Ga., a. carload of the Southern product with his. compliments and the wish that the Nebraskan might spend the happiest sort of a Fourth- of July. The shipment was received a day -too late. As Mr. Bryan is out of the city, and as the family feel unequal to the task of disposing of the fruit, Mrs. Bryan declined with thanks to accept the melons or the unpaid freight bill. . GEN. GOMEZ MUST STAY PR03HXEXT CUBANS DO XOT WANT HIM TO LEAVE THE ISLAND. Committee to Collect Funds for Building: the Tatrlot a House and Pro Tiding for Ills Support. HAVANA, July 5. Thirty-two district clubs of the Cuban national party have held meetings and decided to oppose even the temporary withdrawal of Gen. Maximo Gomez from the Island. A commission has been appointed to visit all parts of Cuba and to collect subscriptions to. a fund for building Gomez a home and furnishing him with money enough for the rest of his life. This decision is universally popular. In the opinion of all Cubans, even his political opponents, he deserves such a recognition after his long service and self-sacrifice In behalf of the Cuban cause. One politician, who is violently opposed to him, said: "I believe this would be the best method of removing Gomez from the political field, as It would satisfy his vanity and desire for distinction. I would willingly contribute $CO0 to the fund If I could be convinced that he would not interfere again In Cuban affairs, as I consider him the chief disturbing element." The Cardenas Herald publishes a letter from Senor Quesada, special commissioner for Cuba In Washington, thanking the paper for defending him against the attacks of the malcontents. The writer says: "In the service of my country I attempt to avoid discrediting men of sincere convictions, although I may oppose them because I deem their proceedings detrimental to the country and preventive of security and peace, without which It Is impossible to establish civil government, much less a republic. My ideal since the termination of the war has been to see my countrymen return to work and my country prepare itself for true liberty. History will judge Impartially that what Is called treason by those who have done nothing for Cuba will prove her only real salvation. What we should all work for is country and not self." Marquis Arguelles.. on behalf of Spain, yesterday, requested Governor General Brooke to permit the sending to Spain of eleven convicts sentenced for criminal offenses prior to Jan. 1. It is supposed the convicts themselves have requested the transfer. Probably more than two hundred Spaniards are now incarcerated in Cuba, and General Brooke will doubtless lay the matter before tho Spanish consul general, with a view of ascertaining whether all are willing to go and whether Spain is willing to receive them. The echoes of yesterday's celebration are still the absorbing tdplc-of ' conversation at the clubs and cafes. .Most of-the papers say the Cubans sympathize with the Americans in their enjoyment of the Fourth of July, but point out that the Americans ought not to expect more than sympathy until Cuba's Independence is assured. Senor Jose Segrarlo,- Spain's first consul general in Cuba, arrived to-day. He was received on landing by a representative committee of Spanish residents and the entire party took breakfast at the Spanish casino. Senor Segrarlo will probably pay an official visit to General Brooke tomorrow. Many American officers are here who were in the Santiago campaign, and, without exception, when discussing the yellow fever outbreak among the American troops in that part of the Island, they say they do not believe there will "be any safety until the old Spanish barracks at Santiago are burned to the ground. El Dlarlo de la Marina strongly objects to having the proposed Improvements in the Havana custom house carried out by the government. It urges that the work should be done In the ordinary way under conThe temperature at 3 o'clock this afternoon was S6 degrees. The Fourth nt San Juan. SAN JUAN DE PUERTO RICO. July 4.(Delayed In transmission.) The Fourth was celebrated here yesterday with great enthusiasm. The events being a military and civil parade, a barbecue, athletic sports, fireworks and patriotic speeches. Governor General Davis gave a reception which was attended by all the prominent residents. The Republican party of Porto Rico, in convention here, yesterday, adopted a platform and passed a resolution to support the government in every measure tending to Americanize the island. The convention also Indorsed the work done In behalf of the inland by Drs. Henna and Zeno, now in New York. The celebration of Independence day and the holding of the convention! brought to this city from outside towns about 40,000 visitors. GLOVE TRUST NEXT. Eastern 3Ianufncturcra May Effect a Combination. NEW YORK, July 5. The World to-mor-row will say: "Orrington Ross, of Hall & Ross, of Chicago," has been In this city for several days negotiating with prominent glove firms fot the options on their business, the intention being to form a glove combination, with a capital of $15,000,00. Congressman Lucius N. Littauer, of LIttauer Brother?. Gloversville, . said last night he had been approached on the consolidation matter. 'Mr. Ross has, I believe he said, 'met a certain amount of success in his mission. I do not, however, believe a glove combination will be formed in the near future. Of course, I do not deny that such an organization as is proposed would be of great advantage to the manufacturers.' Mr. Littauer denied that an option had been granted by one firm which he represents. Table Glassware Combination. PITTSBURG. Pa.. July 5. Among th charters granted to-day at Harrisburg wa one for the National Glass Company, of Pittsburg. This is the concern which has been under way for some time as a combination of the table glassware manufacturers. It is expected that the combination will now be completed within a short time, and when the next fire opens the new concern will have charge of nearly all the table glassware factories In the country. The new combination will probably be capitalized at $20,000,000. RECEIVERS NAMED. Metropolitan Building Company Alleeed to Be Insolvent. NEW YORK. July 5.-Edward H.

In to-morrow's issue of the Independent will appear various articles on the foreign relations of the United States and expansion. Congressman Hitt, chairman of the committee on foreign relations,' writes: "There are some who say that the lust for military glory has been the cause of the downfall of all the republics of the past, but that is not true. The past had few or no true republics, certainly not any at all comparable with the United States, a Republic organized on the principle of representative government by all. We are making precedents. There seems to be a great war cloud forming over China and the forces mustering there are mighty enough to produce a war of the greatest magnitude. But I see no reason that will require us to join the conflict, if conflict there is to be. The only interest we have in the matter Is a trade Interest, and our great epoch-making wars have never had their origin In anything so sordid." Senator John T. Morgan, of Alabama, writes: "Those who lament and decry the conduct of our government in dealing with the Philippines as being - violative of our Constitution are too late to accept much else than to echo the pathetic appeals of Agulnaldo that wo do' not destroy our own government In order to save the Filipinos from tho fatal power of his dictatorship. It is not far to go, nor is the way obscure to find in the Constitution of the United States express power given to Congress to do what was done in Louisiana and Hawaii, and what our self-respect compels us to do in the Philippine islands. The flag we have planted on the Philippines is consecrated to the same liberties It shelters on the Capitol at Washington." iux-Senator George Edmunds, arguing against expansion, demands that the government disclose to the people precisely what took place before the capture of Manila and what promises were made the Filipinos. He asks if Spain had anything but a "pretended" sovereignty to cede, and demands the reason for the sudden turning of Filipino friendship into hostility. He concludes: "First let us know the whole truth of what has happened, and then, perhaps, tho advocates of glory or dominion, or trade or civilization, - and religion advanced by the cannon and the bayonet and supported by the blood and treasure of our people, can point out to us how these are 'the ways of pleasantness and the paths of peace. J DEWEY AND DIEDRICHS. Exchange of Letters That Foil owed the Former's Promotion. BERLIN, July 5. The Neueste Nachrlchten to-day publishes letters exchanged between Admiral Dewey and Von Diedrlchs, The latter's letter is dated March 17, and reads: "Sir I have the honor to acknowledge tho receipt of your communication of March 4, informing me your Excellency has been promoted admiral. While congratulating your Excellency sincerely on this new token of recognition, I beg you to believe your good news has given me the greatest satisfaction." Admiral Dewey replied on April 16, saying: "Dear Admiral Von Diedrlchs I wish to thank you most heartily for your cordial letter of congratulation on my promotion. It is a great pleasure for me to feel ray advancement is a source of satisfaction to you, and I rejoice that our differences have been of newspaper manufacture. Honing to have the pleasure of meeting you again before leaving this station, I am very sincerely," etc. o WELC03IE AWAITS : THEM. Volunteers to Be Given a Hearty Greeting on Returu from Manila.

General Otls's report Indicates that there is a fair prospect that these unfortunates will be set free; If not ail of them, then certainly a large number. It Is not known whether the captives of the Yorktown's crew are to be included in the prisoners to be released, but It is feared that, owing to their different status, they will be held by the insurgents.

Uott the Unarmed English Are Ruled by the Doers. London Daily Mail. Can an Englishman, or. Indeed, any ultlander, obtain fair play in the Transvaal? The answer to this simple question is both yes and no but mostly no. The Boers as a race are so cunning and wily, pr as they say in their own language, "banje slim," that they think It rather clever and smart to "best" a man, even if they know that they are In the wrong themselves. Speaking broadly and generally, the bestserved department of the Transvaal public service is the judicial. The judges are honest, upright, well-educated gentlemen, who are as. just and Impartial as it is in their power to be. But they are dragooned (there is no other wqrd for It) by the Uitvoerende Raad that Is, by the government. Instead of the bench being entirely independent, It is submissive to the wishes or Instructions of the Volksraad, which means, of course, to the autocratic personality of Paul Kruger. A notable instance of this was the notorious Dorcs case, which occurred a few years ago, and Is typical of the subjugation of .the bench. This man Doms claimed certain farms which the government found it Inconvenient to grant. Doms applied to the High Court, and would inevitably have won his case, but the day before the hearing the Raad passed a resolution to prevent Doms from having access to the court. President Kruger said it was necessary to pass this resolution "because if Doms were allowed to come Into court he would assuredly win and the farms would have to be given up to him, and for political reasons this could not be allowed." Doms was not. heard. He is now, or was quite recently, a destitute cab driver in Pretoria. He Is a ultlander. Thus was precedent created. More recently Chief Justice Kotze, an honorable man of the utmost integrity, was forced to resign because he refused to subordinate his high office to the wishes of the President. This was an outrageous case and raised a great talk at the time. The chief justice was universally respected as a man of unimpeachable hlgh-minded-ness, and the drastic autocracy which forced him from the bench was adversely commented upon by every legal authority in the world. Again, when the unfortunate, misguided reform committee prisoners were arraigned at Pretoria after the Jameson raid the government could not trust any of their own judges to be sufficiently severe, so they imported from the Orange Free State a certain Judge Gregorowski, who simply obeyed instructions in the sentences he passed. There was, further, a gross miscarriage of justice In that the prisoners were induced to plead guilty to the charge of "gekwekste majesteit," which is equivalent to treason, on the distinct understanding from high quarters that they would be let off lightly and that none of them, not even the four principals, would be sentenced to death. We know what happened. No,, justice is travestied In the Transvaal In more ways than one. It is not to be bought, at least in the High Court, by actual pounds and shillings they have no pence in the Transvaal but at the same time the ultlander Is at a great disadvantage. The only one who has scored time and again, even over the government Itself, Is the journalist, Mr. Henry Hess, who Is not entirely unknown as a successful defendant in London' courts. But he is the exception that proves the rule. - For instance, there are constant disputes occurring in connection with "mynpachts," which are reserved mining rights on a proclaimed gold farm. If they come before a country landdrost, or magistrate, and the litigants are Boer rarmers ana uuianaers, there Is no question as to which way the verdict will go, whatever the weight of evidence may be. It is an astounding but perfectly safe assertion to make that five out of six Boer witnesses are suborned. Their idea of truth is as elastic as their oaths are unreliable. Only burghers are eligible as Jurymen. The coAsequence is that the jury box, except at very special . and important trials. Is packed with a lot of Ignorant, vacuous peasants, who have not the vaguest idea as to what the case is about. And these burghers, If you please, have to give their verdict upon matters often affecting large sums of money and involving most Important interests. If the parties to the action are of different nationalities that is, Boer and ultlander there is no question with the jury of right or wrong, but their verdict is according to their patriotic sympathy. . Of course, all the proceedings throughout the law courts of the Transvaal are conducted in Dutch not high Dutch, such as s spoken in Holland, but a mongrel patois known as the "taal," which even Hollanders find hard to understand at first. This is the more ridiculous, as every one in court Judge, plaintiff, defendant, Jury, counsel and witnesses talk English, and would much rather use that tongue. But it Is forbidden, and so ridiculously strict Is the rule that the landedrost of Johannesburg, a most worthy individual, was recently fined 3, and that amount was actually deducted from his salary, because he allowed a witness to give his evidence In English. In the Cape Colony, by the way. both languages havo exactly equal rights. There fs a Judge of the High Court in Pretoria who, although a fully-qualified burgher, is a Scotsman by birth. To hear him "praat de taal," or speak the language, with a strong north of the Tweed accent, is most comical. ..... m .v. The recent trial of Von Veldtheim for the alleged murder of Mr. Wolf Joel was a ridiculous burlesque of Justice. The judge was not at fault, but the office of the public prosecutor certainly was, for the Jury was Instructed to find him guilty or not of murder, without the alternative of manslaughter. If Von Veldtheim had been tried on the latter count he would certainly have been found guilty and sentenced to fourteen years' hard labor. In the outlying districts of the Transvaal, away from the towns. Justice, of a kind, is administered by the landdrost. or magistrate, ordinarily an Ignorant Boer, which is saying a great deal. He dispenses a rough sort of Justice according to his own particular lights, and without the slightest reference to the "Grondwet." or law of the land. Quarrels about cattle and disputed boundary marks, or "beacons," as they are called, are of the most frequent occurrence. He is readily amenable to reason in the shape of a bribe, and it is really a question of who bids highest for the verdict. In his dealings with natives he is harsh, unfair, and something of a slavedriyer. He collects their hut tax. sometimes twice over, and then forgets altogether to remit the amounts to Pretoria. He fines them two or three head of cattle for the most trivial offense, and his own herd soon waxes numerous in consequence. . A man In this position In the Spelonken district, who was afterwards promoted to a high position in the police force, amassed a considerable fortune, and built himself a lordly pleasure house, out of the fines and penalties inflicted upon the natives. Young Sarel ElofC. a very near blood relation of Paul Kruger, while in his official capacity of lieutenant of police on the Krugersdorp race course. Insulted her Majesty, the Queen, In a dastardly manner. He was mildly reprimanded, and subsequently promoted to a more responsible position. It Is not the place here to enlarge upon the insecurity of title to property, which is a necessary corollary of the lax legal methods prevalent in the Transvaal, where anything may be upset at a moment's notice by a Volksraad resolution Instigated by the President. But it is a real danger to the many financial corporations, who have literally spent millions in the exploitation of the auriferous Witwatersrand. In the High Court of Justice at Prstorli. above the heads of the Judges, is the Transvaal arms, with the motto. "Eendraagt maakt magt," which means "Union makes strength;" but there is very little evidence of the wish of those in authority to gain solidarity and strength by union with those whose financial aid has brought the country from the verge of bankruptcy to effluence.

The world is made awar that the educated women all over the world are thinking about such matters. Their opinions are widely read. If not entirely accepted, and some influence at least is likely to be exerted upon those who are charged with the power of legislation. Tho educated women have a much stronger influence In almost every field than they ever had. It Is easier to weed out the impracticable things in the theories of women than It is to stir the women to action. ( Congresses of this kind arc evidence that the women are thinking, ana the woman who thinks and writes down her opinions Is a much more important factor In the world than one who declines to take the trouble to think or act. . .

McKinleys record is compared with that of Cleveland and others of his predecessors, and he is earnestly besought to revise the order at once. The letter in part follows; 'While the good of the service may have required a tew exclusions from the classified positions, there can have been no valid reason for the exemption of some lO.uuO places from the operations of a tried and beneficent law. A revision of the civil-Mrvice rules at the instance of known friends of reform would be one thing, a revision at the demand of its avowed enemies is quite another "Among those who sign the letter are Gen.
