Replies to Boers.
Chamberlain
-y \ ' , |
4 I Pretoria , Transvaal , Jan. 9. Mr.
4i [ Chamberlain , replying to the address
of the burghers for various measures

ed were decidedly generous and that
there was no prospect of a general
amnesty. He declared the government
purposed abiding by the terms of the
iVereentglng agreement , with which
the Boor leaders at the time of surrender -
render had complied. The cases of
-the burghers now In Europe would be
considered individually on their mer
its , said Mr. Chamberlain , and these
burghers should prove their loyalty by
accounting for the gold taken to Eu-
rope. The secretary said that the an
nexation of the Vryheld and Utrecht
districts to Natal was convf rtablo and
that the natives would be compelled to
observe their obligations. Ho declared -
clared that he would have been better
pleased had the address of the burghers -
ers , Instead of consisting merely of
demands , contained some recognition
of what his majesty's government had
already done for the Boers.

897. The association also adopted n
solution protecting against the un
leecHsmry stimulation of the migftr
and tobacco Industries of the Philip-

eductions , thus , as the resolution
tated , encouraging the people of
hoHO Islands , where the labor IB but
a few cents per day , to produce those
hlngs which this country can produce
ather than such commodities as they
are liable to produce.
The action of the association was
not unanimous , the vote on the pas
sage of the resolution standing 3 to 2 ,
although Henry T. Oxnard , the presl
dent of the association , said ho hud
enough proxies with him to make the
vote 12 to 2. Tha opponents of the
resolution claim there are thirty or
more factories In the association anil
that the representation at the moot-

There were five companies repre

were the American Beet Sugar com
pany , represented by Henry T. Ox
nard ; the Utah Sugar company , J. R.
Cutler ; the Wisconsin Sugar com
pany , R. G. Wagner ; the National
Sugar company , F. K. Carey , and the
Los Aliinitos Sugar company , J. Ross
Clark. Messrs. Wagner and Clark

ering was not a representative one of
Industry of
the sugar beet growing
( TTe entire
the country , Inasmuch as
rote , including the proxies held by
Mr. Oxnard , did not amount to one-
half of the sugar beet factories in the
United States. After the meeting had
adjourned they said .that they would
withdraw from further connection
with the association , as It had out
lived its usefulness and was dominated
by a one-man power.
Mr. Oxnard , when seen , contended
that the yearly output of the compa
nies which he represented and of
those for whom he held provles was
vastly greater many times than the
output of the companies whose repre
sentatives had opposed the resolution.

Not Help People.

the resolution would not accomplish
the result sought and that it infringed
the constitutional rights of the house
in respect to revenue bills. Aldrlch
said that a Democratic senate voted
to put a duty of 45 cents on coal In
1894 and that they favored free coa
except on the day when they couli
have voted for free aoal In the tariff
bill. Vest , In reply , said that the
duty on coal was the result of a "hold
up" by a few Democratic senators. To
confirm his assertion , that Dingloy
had made the statement that the Ding
ley rates were placed high in order to
negotiate reciprocity treaties , Vos
read from a letter addressed to him
by the editor of the Philadelphia Bui
letln , In which tae writer declared
that DlngU-y made the statement to
one of his Washington correspondents
Halo expressed his disbelief In tha
statement and feelingly referred to
Dlnglcy's services to his state am
