"I don't know bow it, is here," said a visitor at cne of the hotels, "but over in Georgia the phrase, 'lick the name,' is still quite enrrent on the country side.

Among the most important points that President Paul Kruer, of the Transvaal republic, and Sir Alfred Milner, governor of Cape Colony and British high commissioner for South Africa, will have to discuss at their conference here in regard to the de mands of the outlanders will be the question of the dynamite monopoly, under which the outlanders are groan ing, and which the IJritish secretary of state for the colonies, Joseph Cham berlain, has used his utmost endeavors to remedy. But a blue bonk on the sub ject. Issued last night, shows that mat ters in this connection have practically reached a deadlock. Not Significant of Peace. The blue bcok opens with a letter from Chamberlain, dated Jan. 13, re viewing the whole question and pro testing that the monopoly was Incon sistent with the London convention'. To this the Transvaal government replied under date of March 9, controverting the arguments of Chamberlain and stating that her majesty's government was not entitled to a protest. Chamber lain on April 21, however, renewed the British protest, adding that her ma jesty's government reserves its rights. In answer to this the Transvaal gov ernment replied on May 22. with two curt .sentences, to the effect that it abided by the views expressed in its communication of March 9. - "We Co Strong on Mediation.
