BRITISH ULTIMATUM Appears to Have Reached Rulers of the Transvaal at Last. - the MAZES CERTAIN PLAIN DEMANDS And Insikts on a Prompt Acceptance Thereof Says Nothing. It Seems, About the Suzerainty lioers Said to Have Ac cepted the Proposal for a Conference Chamberlain's Note Read in tbe Kaad I'robable Delegates from the Transvaal. Ix.ndon, Sept. 13. A special dispatch from Pretoria s:jys the British note, which was read iu loth raads yester day, is regarded there as a virtual ulti matum. The corresjioiideut says: "It projtoses a live years franchise, a quar ter representation for the gold lields in the volksraad. equality for the Brit ish and Jititch iu the volksraad and quality for the old and new burgners iu regard to presidential and other i'loctious. If these conditions are ac cepted a conference between repre Kentatives of the two governments Fhall follow for the purpose of drafting the necessary measures aud of avoid ing the introduction of unnecessary Conditions by the Transvaal calculated to defeat the reforms. Acceptance Demanded at Once. "In view of the fact, the note goes on to say. that the present state of af fairs in South Africa cannot be pro longed, the definite acceptance of this proposal is demanded without delay. Otherwise her majesty's government will immediately take the whole situa tion under reconsideration and will act m as to bring about a settlement. The situation is acute." Read in the Roer Volksraad. Pretoria. Sept. 1.1.

Y olniarand. one or the two non-official members of the Trans vaal executive council. and Mr. Fischer. who has figured prominently in some of the recent negotiations as the spe cial representative of the Orange Free State. LONDON KDITORIAL COMMKXT. Kill tors Say Little While Waiting for the Text or the Note. London. Sept. 13. Owing to the un derstanding that Chamberlain's note Is to be published simultaneously in London and Pretoria, only an inade- piate summary has yet been tele rraphed The Loudon papers are in clined to withhold comment until the text is available. Despite the fact that the note is dest-rilied as an ultimatum, the balance of opinion tends to regard it as a rather moderate document, since apparently it does not lix a definite time limit, leaves the real crux of tne dispute for the proposed conference, and does not raise the question of suzerainty. In a word, the note seems to leave the way open to furfher negotiations. The Times, which considers the sum mary obviously imitttrtaut. says: "It is incredible that all mention of suzer ainty anil the other matters in con troversy have lieen passed over or ignored.' A special dispatch from Pictermaritzhurg. capital of Natal. says: "President Kritger. it is asserted n reliable quarters', is prepared to at tend the protsised conference at Capo Town unconditionally, provided lie is issjired that Mr. Chamberlain's latest bspatch represents all that will be de- aaudfd by t'reat Britain. A peaceful solution, therefore, is highly prob able." STRANGE STORY OF TRAGEDY. Which Is Being Considered by the Su preme Court of Wisconsin. Madison. Wis.. Sept. 13.
