THE TRANSVAAL TROUBLES
Can Only Be Settled at Present Stage By a
Resort to Arms.
UNCLE KRUGER’S REPLY IS NOT AN ACCEPTANCE
Britons Who Are Posted on Affairs See No Way to
Avoid War With the: Transvaal Government.
A London cable dispatch says: The
colonial office in confirming the dis
patch from Cape Town, saying the
Transvaal government had handed its
reply to the British agent at Pretoria,
says that Mr. Alfred Milner has tele
graphed a message to that effect. All
that the officials of the colonial office
would say in regard to the matter
was:
“The reply is not a complete accept
ance of the proposal of Mr. Chamber
lain.”
There is no longer any deubt that
President Kruger has refused to sub
mit to the demand of Mr. Chamber
lain for the appointment of a court of
inquiry. He may have done so diplo
matically or hedginglv, but that his
answer is regarded by the British gov
ernment as tantamount to positive re
fusal is now an established fact. The
colonial office is normally non-com
mittal, but there are other evidences
which amply justify the statement.
The report that President Kruger has
proposed new terms is somewhat veri
fied by the guarded comment of the
colonial officials and the irritability
displayed there.
There is not the slightest doubt that
they now believe that war is the only
way to settle the controversy.
The colonial officials would far rather
have a curt, defiant answer than the
temporizing answer which the Boer
president has sent. AVith the former
Great Britain would have plain
grounds for a quick commencement of
hostilities.
Under the circumstances which it is
believed now exists, aggressive action
needs considerable explanation to jus
tify it in the eyes of the world and the
English majority who still declare that
the war would be an outrage; however,
if Mr. Chamberlain has his way, it is
ELBERTON’S CARNIVAL OPENED.
Festivities Began With a Speech From
Senator Ben Tillman.
The Elberton, Ga., carnival was
opened Monday morning with a con
cert by Bearden’s band, of Augusta.
At noon the welcome address was
made by Mayor Adams. Hon. J. P.
Shannon then introduced Senator B.
R. Tillman, who made the opening
address. His theme was the elimina
tion of the negro from politics.
After referring to his boyhood days
spent in Elbert county, he launched
into his discussion with his old-time
vigor. The race question was a seri
ous problem and politics should be
freed from it. The disintegration of
the republic was apparent when people
had to buy votes and it cost $5,000 to
go to the legislature. It was time to
call a halt.
He explained the South Carolina
workings aud held up a constitutional
convention as the one thing which
would save the state, white primaries
would do for awhile, but would soon
be worse than now.
FOUR WERE BOUND OVER.
Willteeappem In South Carolina Will Be
Arraigned In Court.
The four men charged with whip
ping negroes in Greenwood, S. C.,
were arraigned before Magistrate Aus
tin for a preliminary hearing Monday
afternoon. They waived a prelimi
nary trial and gave bond in the
sum of SI,OOO each for appearance at
the circuit court. There have been no
further arrests and no more whippings.
Wage Agreement Signed.
The AA T estern Anthracite Coal com
pany, of Spadra, Ark., h as signed the
district wage agreement with the
United Mine AVorkers’ and their old
men have resumed work. Other small
operators have also signified their in
tention to sign.
DEWEY FAVORS AUTONOMY!
CorrKpondent of a Paper, At Nt
ple*, Interview* the Admiral.
The Naples correspondent of The
London Daily News telegraphs the
substance of an interview he had with
Admiral Dewey there during the ad
miral’s recent visit.
The admiral said in his judgment
the Filipinos were capable of self-gov
ernment aud the way to settle the in
surrection and to insure prosperity
was to concede it to them. He de
clared that he never was in favor of
violence toward the Filipinos and re
marked that after autonomy had been
conceded, annexation might be talk
ed of.
believed that President Kruger’s coun
ter proposals will meet with scant at
tention and unless the Boers complete
ly back dowu, which is not likely, the
crisis will quickly develop into war.
It lias developed that the war office
has been aware of the nature of the
Transvaal government’s move for sev
eral days, and that it was communi
cated to the war office, hence it is
probable that Great Britain will delay
the denoument as little as possible.
A high colonial official expressed to
a representative of the Associated
Press his disgust at what he termed
“Kruger’s cupidity aud hypocrisy.”
He said:
“The kind of game which Kruger is
playing must be clear to Americans.
The protestations of the Boers that
they wish to live quiet, agricultural
lives may be the tune of some on the
veldt, but the gaug in Pretoria is
simply after money. Though Presi
dent Kruger says many harsh things
of the Uitlanders, he never hesitated
to make money out of them, either by
fair or foul means.
“This Trausvaal question cannot be
judged by recent occurrences. You
must go back fifty years. It has been
hanging fire nil that time, and the
sooner it is settled now, the better.”
Though the official did not actually
say so, it was clear that he believed
war was the only mode of settlement.
It is learned that the government is
somewhat annoyed at the public’s
slight interest in the Transvaal.
The official above quoted said to the
Associated Press representative:
“Dreyfus seems the only thing that
our people think about, though Eng
land is in the most serious crisis. This
indifference is perhaps typical.”
A special dispatch from Cape Town
says there is great danger of an out
break of violence on the frontier, and
that the scum of South Africa are en
listing throughout the colouy and are
being sent to Pitzani and Jameson, on
the border.
COLORADO TOWN DESTROYED.
Bring; Built of Pine Timber, Building;*
Burned I.lke Paper.
Fire has utterly destroyed the busi
ness portion of the city of Victor, Colo
rado, causing a loss estimated at $2,-
000,000.
Beginning shortly after noon Mon
day, the fire raged until evening, con
suming everything in its way. It had
its origin, it is thought, in the Mer
chants’ cafe, adjoining the Bank of
Victor, on the corner of Third street
and Victor avenue.
A strong wind from the south fanned
the flames and in a few minutes ail the
N,
surrounding houses were afire. Help
was summoned from Cripple Creek,
but the town had been built in the
early days of the camp and was of pine
timber for the most part and burned
like paper.
Efforts were made to stop the prog
ress of the flames by blowing; up
buildings in their path by meons of
dynamite and all the afternoon the
hills roared with explosions, but the
effort was in vain.
“INTIMIDATION” CH ARGED.
Federation of Railway Employe* Hold*
Interesting; Meeting; at Atlanta, Oa.
The Atlanta Federation of Railway
Employes held an interesting aud en
thusiastic meeting in Atlanta, Ga.,
Monday afternoon at which the new
president of the federation, Mr.
Charles Daniel, arraigned the federal
courts for “their notorious unfair
ness” to labor unions, and he de
clared many of them are dominated by
corporate influences.
He also declared that some of the
road officials in Georgia are discrimi
nating against members of the railroad
orders and are trying to intimidate
and prevent their employes from be
longing to the organization represent
ing their class.
WILL ROOT RESIGN!
Story I Afloat That New Secretary of War
la Already Tired of Mi# Job.
Aa interesting story is going the
rounds in Washington that Secretary
Ro9t will resign his portfolio. In a
word it is rumored that the secretary
is already sick of his job and that he
will be forced to abandon his post in
humiliation if he does not protect
himself by an early resignation.
In view of the fact that the new
secretary of war has had charge of the.
department but a few weeks, this is
certainly a remarkable story to find a
start anywhere. But it is going around
and comes from apparently good au
thority.
RETURN MARRIAGE LICENSES.
Mr. Calvin’# Bill May Hare Better Sue
re** In Seittaglilitnre.
The echoes have already begun to
come in from the Herald’s editorial of
yesterday pointing ont the fact that
one-third of the marriage licenses is
sued in this county are never returned
for record. It has struck a popular
chord aud is hoped that, the whole
state will take up this matter and agi
tate it until the return of these licenses
for record becomes compulsory.
We received today the following
communication:
To thi Editor of The Herald—
Sir: I read with interest your excellent
aud timely editorial in The Sunday
Herald on the necessity for legislation
in the matter of the return of marriage
licenses, duly certified by the officiat
ing clergyman or magistrate, to the
ordinary for record.
The subject so ably and clearly pre
sented by The Herald is one in which
the people should manifest a live in
terest.
Seeing the defects in the law, I
sought in the house of 1897 to remedy
the same by imposing a fine of $lO in
each case on delinquent clergymen or
magistrates. The bill which I drafted
and introduced passed tho house, ayes
93, nays 0. It met with opposition in
the senate and was defeated, ayes 12,
nays 20.
In 1898 I introduced the bill. The
house passed it, ayes 91, nays 0. In the
senate the general judiciary committee
reported the measure unfavorably, the
report was agreed to and the bill killed.
It has been my purpose all along, if
I should be spared to resume my seat in
the house, at the npproaching session
which begins on Wednesday, October
25, to reintroduce the bill, aud use my
best efforts to pass it through the house
aud meet the objections of the senate.
Martin V. Calvin.
Augusta, Ga., August 7, 1899.
It was a matter of surprise at tho
time that Mr. Calvin’s bill did not go
through. The senate does not reflect
the sentiment of the state in opposing
this reform and it is hoped that Mr.
Calvin’s next effort will be successful.
