London. Sept. 15.?A Blue Book, con?
taining the last Transvaal dispatch of
the Secretary ot Stale fo. the Colonies,
Mr. Chamberlain, relating to the mat
tens which led up to dispatch being
sent, was issued to-day. The text ot
Mr. Chamberlain's note Is Identical
with the dispatch as cabled to the As?
sociated Press. September 13th. The
only Important feature revealed Is a
telegram troin the British High Com?
missioner. Sir Alfred Milncr, dated Au?
gust 31, referring to the commercial dis?
tress and saying:"
"I am receiving representations from
many quartern to urge the Imperial
government to terminate the suspense.
British South Africa is prepared for
extreme measures, and Is ready to sul*
fe much more in order to see the vin?
dication of British authority. It Is the
prolongation of the negotiations, end?
less and Indecisive, that is dreaded. I
fear seriously thai there will be a
strong reaction i?f feeling against the
policy ot the Imperial Covernment if
matters drag."
The Blue book thrown no new light
on the situation us it Is to-day, except
to show that the commissioner's pa?
tience ha? reached the ebbing point.
PRESIDENT KitUQER TALKS.
A published Interview with President
Krugcr. said to have taken place at
Pretoria yesterday. Is far more Im?
portant. He Is quoted as saying: y
"I have tried all along In place the
aliens in the Transvaal on the same
footing, politically, as the burghers.
Mr. Chamberlain says I have not kept
my promises. This," thundered Presi?
dent Kr?ger, "I deny."
Continuing, President Kiuger Is re?
ported to have added:
"The siliens of the Transvaal have
the same commercial rights as the
burghers, and have always enjoyed
them wltaout interference. I wanted
to let thlm have the same political
rights, but they would not avail them?
selves of this. Roughly, Iiicrc arc more
than HO.OUO aliens who have been hero
more than seven years and have regis?
tered, thus being eligible to the fran?
chise. Yet of the British subjects who
have availed themselves of it the chief
part have been Afrikanders and not
English born. This shows that the
British in the Transvaal do not want
the franchise.
"In my opinion, there is no cause
Whatever for war. Everything could
he settled by arbitration,"
A .second edition of the London Times
to-day prints a special dispatch from
Newcastle, Natal,.'dated September i?,
which bears out the British High Com?
missioner's statement, as it ways the.
Qulllnnders council has transmitted to
the Imperial Government whnt practi?
cally amounts to a protest against fur?
ther delay.
The Times' correspondent adds:
"There is nothing to confirm the re?
port that the Boers will concede to
Mr, Chamberlln's demands. On the
contrary, ll Is stated th-at three thou?
sand men will he dispatched to the bor?
der Immediately after the Transvaal's!
reply Is sent. Every thing points to the
prospect of an early conflict."
The advices from Cape Town to-day
t<nd to confirm the pessimistic views of
the Times' correspondent at Newcas?
tle. The news that a strong force of
Boers has been stationed one hour from
l.amathlahama, commanding the Pre?
toria and Johannesburg roads, has cre?
ated great Indignation at Cape Town.
TUOOPS REACH CAPE TOWN.
The first battalion of the Manches?
ter regiment arrived at Cape Town to?
day, disembarked and marched through
the streets. The soldiers were wildly
cheered. After they had been reviewed
byb Lieutenant General Sir Frederick
"Walker, commander of the British
troops in South Africa, the battalions
embarked and proceeded to Natal.
These troops, forming the first instal?
ment of the reinforcements were sent
from Gibraltar to C-apc Town.
The Colonial Office has not yet re?
ceived the formal reply of the Trans?
vaal, and the Consul General of the
Transvaal here, .Air. Montagu White,
does not expect It to-night.

ber of Parliament tor Mi ntroseburghs.
while addressing a peace meeting in
this city this evening, at which a son
of the late John Bright, the distin?
guished British statesman nnd friend
of peace, presided, was frequently In?
terrupted by cries ot "Mnjuba Hill!"
and other anti-Boer demonstrations.
In retorting to the interruptions, Mr.
Morley said:
"A year or two ago the United States
saw only one aspect of war: and what
are they doing to-dpy? They are re?
penting. They have their yellow press,
nnd we have our yellow press. If I am
asked to speak In this hall a year or
. two later, I will find ihose who now
oppose me repenting also."
THE TRANSVAALS' REPLY.

the acceptance of the joint conference
and maintains the convention of 18S1.
FORECAST TRANSVAALS" REPLY.
London, Sept. 16.?A special dispatch
from Pretoria says:
"The Transvaal's reply will be on
the following lines:
"The Transvaal adheres to the seven
years' frunchise law, but is willing to
consider and, if necessary, to adopt
any suggestions Great Britain, may
miiko with regard to the working of
the law.
In regard to Ihc other points of Mr.
Chamberlain's dispatch, the Transvaul
I boldly stands by the London conven?
tion. It Is said that the reply is
couched In polite terms.
"State Secretary Reltz. in the course
(if an intervie^v to-day, expresses some
doubt as to* whether any alteration
would be made In the existing fran?
chise law, but said he believed a way
should and could he found to establish
an arbitration court. As 10 suzerainty,
the least said the soonest mended, re?
marked the State Secretary.
fin the forecasts of President Kru
Kcr's reply then' is undoubtedly a large
Imse of truth which seems to bring the
dispute within a measurable distance of

gard the crisis as bavins' reached Its
most acute phase. It Is understood that
a Cabinet Council will be summoned as

Chicago, 111., Sept- 1")?The exciting
joint debate looked for to-night be?
tween "William J. Bryan and BourUc
Cockran on trusts before the Civic
Federation Convention did not take
place. Central Music Hall was packed
with an eager audience, but the people
present had to content themselves with?
out the oratory of the famous Nebras?
ka.!), who, however, occupied a seat on
the platform.
Mr. Bryan reached Central Music
Hull early in the evening. He went
direct to a room upstairs, where he was
greeted by Chairman Franklin Head.
Congressman Galnes, Ralph M. Easley
and other members of the program
committee of the Civic Federation Con?
ference on Trusts. Mr. Bryan surprised
the committee by declining to speak at
the night session with W. Bourke Cock
ran, in accordance with the program
previously arranged. Mr. Bryan ex?
plained that he did not wish to let the
impression go out that he was to enter
into a debate with Mr. Cockran. For
that reason he said he would not speak
with Mr. Cockran at the same session.
Mr. Cockran wns sent for und he and
Mr. Bryan discussed the situation. The
committee withdrew to allow the two
orators to nettle the dispute among
themselves
A PROPOSITION DECLINED.
Mr. Cockran wanted to talk at the
same session with the noted Nebraskan
nnd offered to' flip a coin to determine
who should have the privilege of de?
livering the closing address.
Mr. Bryan would not accept this
proposition. Mr. Cochran then agreed
lo appear at any time the committee
desired. The program was then chang?
ed to meet Mr. Bryan's wishes. Mr.
Bryan said he was anxlou3 to addresi
the conference and repeated lhat his
r.nly reason for changing the program
was lo avoid any Indication of a public
debate with Mr. Cochran. Mr. Bryan
will speak at io-morrow's session.
Though disappointed In failing lo s?t
such a spectacle as Bryan and Coch?
ran pitted against each other the au?
dience nevertheless enjoyed a rare
treat, as Mr. Cochran was at his best
and his speech was punctuated with
frequent and prolonged applause. When
Mr. Bryan made his appearance nt ih'^
entrance It was the signal for tumultu?
ous cheering which lasted until the
Nebraskan bad taken bis seat on the
speaker's stand. Mr. Foulkc, of In?
diana, who was In the middle of au ad?
dress when tBo outburst occurred, put
the audience In good humor by remark?
ing, "I guess you came here to-night to
hear somebody else speak."
-At the tlose tif lil.-t spe'een the .Sew'
Yorker won the hearts of his listeners
by paying Mr. Bryan a well chosen
compliment, which the Democratic
leader blushlngly acknowledged.
ANTI-TRUST RESOLUTIONS.
Strong resolutions were drafted to?
day for presentation at future sessions
of the conference. They are as follows:
"Whereas, Trusts and Industrial
combinations have been formed for the
purpose of gratifying the greed of their
promoters at the expense of Ihe gen?
eral public, they destroy competition,
nullify the operation of the economic
law? of supply and demand, deprive the
young men of the country of oppor?
tunity lo advance; take away all In?
centive to invention nnd improvement
and hold out inducements to deteriora?
tion and base Imitation. Inspired by
no other or higher motive than the in?
satiable greed of their promoters, they
hold the small merchant, the wage
earner and consumer subject to their
arbitrary dictates. They are the evil of
the hour, and their suppression is of
momentous Importance to the American
people. Therefore be it
Resolved first, That we are unalter?
ably opposed to all trusts and monopo?
lies as In derogation of . the common
right.
Second, that we demand of the sev?
eral States and cities that they take
such action" as will lead to the public
ownership of all public utilities, and
we demand of the Federal and State
governments such legislation sis will ef?
fectually control the railways and pre?
vent extortion and discrimination.
Third, that we demand of Congress
nnd the Legislatures of the several
States that they abolish all special
privileges and take whatever action Is
lenuired to destroy monopoly.
Fourth, that in our judgment no can?
didate for public olllce Is entitled to the
suffrages of his fellow citizens who does
rot earnestly declare his hcJstlllty to all
combinations In restraint of trade or
the further granting of any special
privileges and openly avow his purpose
to favor such legislation as will sup?
press them.
Fifth, that it Is the duty of the peo?
ple by organized effort to secure the
nominations by the political parties of
the opponents of trusts nnd who have
the integrity, courage and ability to de
I fend the rights of the people against
impending Industrial slavery.
Sixth, that the growth of private in?
dustrial corporations under the general
laws of the several States and the ad
I vantages given to persons by* such
! laws, threaten the extinction of all nat
utal persons, as competitors with them
in every line of business.
We. therefore, recommend that the
several States take Immediate action
to limit the purposes for which such
corporations may be formed and dis?
courage their further formation by the
adoption of such measures as their
wisdom may advise."

DREYFUS LETTERS.
WHAT A POLITICIAN AND A
i PREACHER THINK.
(By Telegrnph to Vlrginlan-Pilot.)
London, Sept. 15.?The papers are
still flooded with Dreyfus letters, the
most remarkable to-day being from Mr.
Michael Dvivltt. the Irish Nationalist
member ot Parliament, and the Rev.
Hugh Price Hughes, editor of the
Methodist Times. Mr. Davltt says Eng?
lish sympathy for the prisoner Is en?
tirely due to tho fact that Dreyfus Is
a rich Jew Instead of a poor one and to
tthe desire to Injure ft civil nation.
MRS. MAYBRICK'S CASE. ?
"No absolutely Innocent man." con?
tinues Mr. Davltt. "was ever convicted
twice In any civilized country by a jury
of his peers. No civilized country could
produce a conspiracy of men educated,
cultured and responsible like the
French military chiefs to stoop to the
baseness and Infamy of plotting to ruin
an Inslgnlllcant petty ofllcer. The sup?
position Is too monstrous to be enter?
tained by any mind unwarped by anti
French feeling. "What have you to say
about Florence Maybrlck? Your Lord
Chief Justice Is said to believe her in?
nocent. So do many eminent English?
men nnd tens of thousands of Ameri?
cans. Why has she not had a second
trial If Innocent? She has suffered ten
times more thnn Dreyfus could suffer.
She Is an American citizen abandoned
more or less by the press and publle
opinion of her, which can repeat the
London-phrased Insults to France for
the alleged miscarriage ot justice but
which do not have n word of protest or
of reproach against England which re?
fuses to listen even to the petitions of
mercy addressed by their unfortunate
country women's British gaolops."

WILL WlTHDRAWN/HtS APPEAL
FOR REVISION.
(By Telegraph to Vlrginlan-Pllot >
London, Sept. 16.?M. de Blowltz, the
Paris correspondent of the Times says:
"I learn that Captain Dreyfus will
shortly withdraw his appeal for a re?
vision of the Rennes trial, which will
leave the ground clear for the govern?
ment to take Immediate steps to par?
don him. This pardon will not annul
the civil and military consequences of
the verdict, and he will, therefore, no
longer belong to the army.
"There Is nothing, however,. to pre?
vent him from applying to the Court of
Cassation to quash the Renne* trial
whenever the new fad required by law
Is produced. "When liberated he will
settle In the south of France, as the
members of his family do not wish to
expose him to such demonstrations of
sympathy abroad as might be used
against him by his adversaries at
home."
