ON THE BRINK OF WAR.
lt.|.l> of Trunnvnnl Very I'naiitlifiti'lory
— Horn Mokii li> fright.
London, Sept. 19.—The reply of the
Transvaal to Mr. Chamberlain's latent
note is paid to cover nine pages. It is
eminently of the "negative and inoon
elneive" character, which Mr. Cham
lierlain declared would compel the im
perial government to consider the situ
ation afresh. It practically repudiates
suzerainty, reveits to the seven-year
franchise, and declines to give eqnalitv
to the Dutch and English languages in
the volksraad. In shoit, it is politely
negative and defiant. The full text
may not ho available for a day or two,
but it will not change the aepect o(
affairs. The cabinet will probably
meet on Wednesday or Thursday to
consider the next step.
It is Huppoeed that the next move
contemplated by the Transvaal is an
appeal to the poweis, begging them to
recommend arbitration on the lines of
the conference at The Hague.
Hai M. Kinl.-v Intervened?
The Capo Town correspondent of the
Daily Mail says:
"Afrikandei bund circles profess to

Washington. Sept. 19.—The secre
tary of war, in {espouse to numerous
requests, cabled General Otis regarding
the two men of the Sixteenth infantry
who, according to the press dispatches,
had been condemned to death in the
Philippines for assaulting native wo
men. A reply received tonight said
there was a third soldier now about to
be tried in connection with the same
rase, and that when the court-maitial
was concluded the papers would be
forwarded to the department. The two
men sentenced are Corporal Damphoffer
and Private Conine. The name of the
third soldier involved has not yet been
made public. The sentences will not
be executed until the war department
shall have reviewed tiie cites. The
papeis cannot teach Washington in less
than 30 days.
CUBAN CROPS FAIL.
rinr.ii stm* af •aeataMM WfWftjM by
VM anil UrHlltrr.
New Yoik, Sept. 20. —William
Willis Howard, general manager of tho
Cuban industrial relief fund, and who
hag tecently returned from Cuba, says:
"Cuba is in a pitiful state. Instead
of a rainy season, Cuba has had a
drought. N"t since 1 544 has there,
been such long-coiitinued div weather
during the summer. The result has
been disastious. The United states
weather buieati rei>ortß that all small
crops have been ruined. Sugar cane
has been so damaged that the crop next
year will be less than the crop ground
this year.
"The most distressing featuie of the
drought ig the destruction of the corn
cro|i. Kven under favorable circum
stances, the rum crop would have been
small, for it was planted in driblets,
here and there. The weather bureau
reports show that the corn crop will
yield not moie than 5 per cent. On
our relief farms we have better corn
than any I liave seen in Cuba, due no
doubt to the fact that we put n la
bor on the growing crop than anyone
'•i-'1 was able to do.
"Business in the cities is desperately
•lull. The hotels aie empty, restaurants,
idle and all small affairs are lifeless.
Large business concerns are KTapinf
along as best they may, in thn hope
that the future of the island may be
definitely settled.
"In the country the desolation
wrought by war ami weather still con
tinues without abatement."

The t^t of President Kruger's reply
was issued by Secretary Chamberlain
this afternoon. Tlie language in many
places is taken to indicate a Him, un
yielding position. The reply, how
ever, concludes:
"If her majesty's government ie
wilting, and leels able to make this de
cision a joint commission, as at first
proposed by C'liamhci lain, it would put
an end to the present state of tension.
Kace hatred would decrease and die

would increase."

This Mr. Head ilflaml highly IrnpOl
t.mt. Among the retlcctions of Mr.
Head on the conference yi'iieially arts
the following btiHcmentH:
"Tho Idea of the Civic Fe'era; ion
\v.i-i to have a full disonilion of all
sides of tho RfMral qnt'stion <d ttllttt
and trade conibinatiuns. It in a sub
ject upon uhich thpie li «Bdl«n coa

wo hoped ly giving all sides a fair
hearing to clear away much of the Sn\t
anil in i-1 ami lobfing the people unaier
together so that they tui^ht lie Hive of
the evils of these laige OOBlbinationi if
then were any and dajviM ieuieJns for
such evils.
"In almost every respect 1 think tho
conference lias been a d**idad IUCCCM.
Many of the papers offered wet« From
careful economic students mid pos
sensed not only great but permanent
value. Among these might be men
tioned the |.:i|'iTt contributi'il by
Henry C Adams, .7. W. Jenks, .lolitt
• iriiham Brooks and Professor Clark, of
Columbia university. Undoubtedly
the two speeches wlnah attract' 1 I roott
attention were those delivered hy W.
Bourke Cock ran nnd W. J. liiyan.
"As n result of the <!i-<u —i- ■ ■ it
seemed to me that the general impreH
ttoa of those present was thai tlio
growth of trusts nnd combinations
ehoulil be jealously watched ami guaid
ed and that there should be a careful
supervision of their operation! by the
state authorities and also ponlbly by
the federal government— tUpttvition
somewhat similar to that of our na
tional banks would be most dMiiabl*
and important—and that all such cor
porations should In' required to liave
caiefullv-kept books of account, show
ing all the general operations in their
business, and that the features of micli
statistics should he made public some
thing after the maner in which the sta
tistics of national banks ate made pub
lic. The objects sought through these
suggestions were not only for tiie bmie
iit of the general public who might be
consiitering an investment, but alto for
the benefit of the stockholders, who
might thus learn if the managers were
loyal to the interests of the stockhold
ers.
"There lias been Borne talk of there
being political capital in tlie malt of
the conference. Ido not know that
the result of the conference Could be
construed to have any political bearing.
The question of business tiu-i - ami
oorportaions is not a politiral question.
There are probably just as inativ Demo
cratic Btockholdets in these various
combinations as liepublican*. They
have entered into these combinations
with the belief that they are advan
tageous in the way of cheapening pro
duction and doing away with the exces
sive competition, which in periods of
depression ia often tunes fatal to all
parties »o the competition.
"Whatever may be the steps taken
to adopt some lemedieß or leetiiotive
measures which shall retain whatever
there uiav b« of benefit in the trusts,
while removing that which \a preju
dicial to the national good, in my opin
ion the conference held in Chicago will
piove a historical meeting, and its in
fluence as a source of education, aud
perhaps as a strnrting point of some
definite developments, will be felt for
a KniK time. The Civio Federation
is satisfied—yes, gratified—witli the
untile work of the conference."
