is becoming somewhat frayed about tho
edges and will not much longer answer
tho purpose Thoy mot for the avowed
purpopo of providing ways and moans
for successfully combating tho corpora
tions but tho eouferenco will undoubt
edly result in turning over this slight
detail to Mr Bryan and his co laborers
All that is now necessary is to resolute
against them against the administra
tion and its policies and declare that
we are tho only friends of tho dear
Buffering people If anything wore
needed to show that tho confereuco was
boing cut out to load into tho popooratio
band wngon but n short quotation from
tho resolution denouncing tho poudiug
curronoy bill is uocossary These say
that it places it in the power of tho
monoy londing class to contract tho

it must bo acknowledged amused them
greatly This one subject affords a
text for calamity wailors for at least au
other year ami will bo playod upon with
many ami astounding variations Tho
end of the govorumout is at baudpre
paroyo tho way of democracy
Tho assertion of tho leaders that tho
conference is non partisan is of no avail
to a man with half souse whou ho pe
ruses tho above resolution Tho state
meat that men of all parties are opposed
to trusts is true but aot all of them are
lockiug to the non partisan conference
for relief
The conference issues a very smooth
address in which tho abolishment of
legalized privileges is tho prominent
feature This may perhaps bo tho
proper remedy aud it may bo presumed
from a perusal of tho proceedings that
it can easily aud quickly bo accomplished
with justice to all but somehow there
will be a doubt in tho minds of many
that the question is so easily handled
The people now expect to see a great
effort made in orgauiiug against the
trusts until the imo of meeting of the
popocratio conventions when tho egg
laid by the conference hen will be slyly

Wahiiimiton Feb 15 Tho follow
ing signed statement was given nut by
Glinrlort K Mjicrum former Utillod
States consul at Pretoria
The situation in Pretoria yas such
first as an olllolui I could not remain
there whiio my government at homo
was apparency iu tho dark as to the ox
act conditions in South Africa Sec
ondly as a man and a citizen of thu
United States I could not remain in
Pretoria sacrificing my own Holf re
spect and tho people of Prototla while
tho government at homo continued to
leave mu in tho position of a British
consul and not nu American consul I
want to sny right hero that there was
not ono single request made of mo
through thu department of state look
ing to thu caro of Hritish interests in
Pretoria which I did not fulfill and re
port upon according to my orders On
tho other hand American interests in
South Africa wero in that condition
which demanded that tho department
of state should bo cognizant of thoni
1 issued tho statomout issued from tho
state dupurtuiunt that Americans must
remain neutral Iu the face of this
Amuricaiis uro constantly going to the
front and taking up arms in tho inter
ests of tho Hours I could not holp but
know that many of these wero citizens
of tho United Slates I also know that
many of them in utter despair at tho
apparont attitude of our own govern
ment wero taking tho oath of allegiance
to the Transvaal govorumout When
affairs had reached that stuto when
Vice Consul Van Anioriug closed up his
businoss took the oath of allegiance to
tho Transvaal and wont to tho front as
a burgher I thought the time had come
to make u report of the affair
Oninliil Mull Opiiiml by ill II Mi Connor
It was over four weeks nftor tho
opening of the war boforo I received a
siuglo dispatch or a porsonal letter from
the government Tho mail for tho
Transvaal had all been stopped at Oape
Town by order of tho high commis
sioner Whou this mail was finally
forwarded to mo after Colonel Stowe
tho consul general at Oape Town had
scoured its release Iliad the humiliation
as tho representative of tho American
government of sitting in my ofllco iu
Pretoria and looking upon envolopos
bearing tho ofllclal seal of tho American
govorumout oponed and ofllcially sealed
with a stiokor notifying mo that tho
oouteufs had boon read by tho censor at
Durban I looked up international law
but failed to find anywhero that ono
military power can uso its discretion as
to forwarding tho oillcial dispatches of
a neutral government to its representa
tive iu a besieged couutry
Aftk I ciiv oT Abionco
The misrepresentations which had
beon going on boforo tho war aud after
it opened woro of such a serious naturo
and would requiro such dotailod ex
planation that on Nov 0 I lllod a cable
to tho dopartniont stating that I wishod
leave of absence iu order to visit the
United States I sot forth in this cablo
that my vice consul had enlisted iu tho
Boor army that Mr Attorbury an
American whom I had known very fa
vorably for moro than a year could tako
charge of tho nflleo until my roturn In
reply to this dispatch I rcoeivod from
tho department a reply advising mo that
my presonco at Pretoria was important
to public intorost Nov 1 1 I again
wired the department stating that I
could not leave without permission
that I would forfeit my post if tho
reasons which I would niako to tho
department did not provo satisfactory
To this I received a reply which was a
reiteration of tho reply to my first cablo
Upon receipt of this reply I immedi
ately wroto to tho dopartniont accept
ing tho refusal to grant mvabsonce and
stating that I would abido by tho de
cision of tho dopartniont and attempt to
convoy an intelligence for the depart
ments guidance of tho conditions thero
in mail dispatches On Dec 1 I re
ceived a reply from the department to
my cablegram of tho llth It read as
follows
You may coino homo Put Attor
bury temporarily iu charge
llolll Taknt Churiit
A few days later I received a tolegram
from Mr Hollis consul at Dclagoa Bay
stating that ho had been instructed to
Iouio to Pretoria to tako charge of my
ii ico during my uusoiico and until a
iMin should arrive from Washington- I
hut Pretoria Deo 15 and arrived iu
Washington Feb 5 and reported to As
sistant Secretary Hill of the state do
partmoiit who ofllciully informed me
that Secretary Hays son had beon ap
pointed in my placo and that he was on
his way to Pretoria
I appreciated tho soriousness of the
conditions iu South Africa to the extent
that on my way to Washiugtou believ
ing that I was still tho consul in Pre
toria I refused to mako any statement
that would iu auy way iuvolvo tho de
partment or ombarrass it My one ob
ject was to lay tho information boforo
the department us to thu truo state of
affairs iu South Africa If tho dopart
niont thought theso facts wero of a
value sufficient to warrant the expense
of tho trip I had taken I oxpeotod to be
remunerated and return to Pretoria
leaving tho department to act as it saw
lit ou tho facts which I laid before it
Instead of this I fiud Secretary Hay
whether acting upon tho reports in the
newspapers or upon advice from tho
uisli government or bomo pther mo
ivn 1 do not know saw lit not to wait
umd 1 could present my reasons iu per--1

tremendous roar and looking up saw
a great herd of cattle stampeding down
upon me no fore I could get out of
their way they would be upon mo so
I crawled info ono of the pipes
On came tho thunder of thousands
of hoofs and then u mass of roaring
maddened cattle swept past my place
of refuge Scores of them stumbled
over the pipe in which I lay aud those
which fell were trampled to death
When the herd had passed 1 crept
out and found seven dead cattle about
the pipe Stray Stories
