PiuvrcmiA Sept 14 President Km
Kuriiudtliu exeeutivo eouneil met liuru
to consider the reply to bo nmdu to the
British hecrotury of stnto for tlio colo
nics Mr Ohiunberliiin They lire btill
conferring by telegraph with the Or
unge Free State The decision is unx
ioubly awaited by the crowds outside
the exeeutivo building
The message is not an ultimatum in
the generally accepted sense of the
word It expresses the hope that Presi
dent Krugcr will accept the propositions
to relieve the present tension
The ouly part which is at all aggres
sive is the reiterated declination of the
British to discuss the matter of suzer
ainty in any shape or form
It is believed that the Orange Freo
lotuto volksraad will be summoned to
consider the matter
PitEToniA Sept 14 A communica
tion has been received from the im
perial government stating that though
nnxious for a speedy reply to the Brit
ish note the imperial authorities do not
desire to tie the Trunsvaal authorities
down to 48 hours The reply will
probably come before the volksraad to
day The decision will undoubtedly bo
influenced by the notion of the Orango
Preo State which President Krugcr
has consulted in regard to his reply
The government is still willing to at
tend the joint commission originally
proposod
The Transvaal war office denies any
knowledgo of the reported offer of 10
000 Irish Americans to fight against
Oreat Britain
The report us to a time limit of 48
Lours arose from the fact that tho Brit
ish diplomatic agent at Pretoria Con
yngluun Greene in presenting Mr
Chamberlains dispatch expressed a
hope that a reply would bo given by tho
Transvaal government by Thursday
The Capo Times and the Capo Argus
both consider tho British note generous
and conciliatory and all the other or
gans assume that tho Transvaal will
comply with the demands
British View of ClnuuhcrliUu Mlmlre
London Sept 14 The Times re
gards Mr Chamberlains dispatch as
clear resolute and earnest without
being peremptory without being neces
sarily an ultimatum but a prelude to
an ultimatum should the Transvaal re
ply bo unfavorable This fairly rep
resents the views of the Loudon papers
Tho Chronicle which is pro Kruger in
its sympathies urges tho Boer govern
ment to accept the British govern
ments demands which threaten no ul
terior damage to tho Transvaal

Cine oo Sept 1 Tho Civic Feder
ation conference on the uses and
abuses of trusts and combinations be
gan hero yesterday with less than half
the delegates appointed by the various
states in attendance
New York headed by W Hourko
Cookrun and Wisconsin weio most
numerously represented Tho meeting
took place iu Central Music hall unit
was called to order hy Franklin II
Head president of the Civio Federa
tion With tho progress of tho speak
ing it became evident that many of tho
delegations had come with linn convic
tions for or against trade combinations
The speech of Mr Wootou of Toxas
during the afternoon hammering
trusts iu a merciless manner arousod
tho wildest enthusiasm in tho ranks of
tho labor delegates iu tho western dis
tricts while the easterners smiled and
kept their arms folded Ho asserted
that the commercial and industrial bon
dage being rapidly imposed upon tho toil
and talents or 70000000 American citi
zens by tho syndicated wealth of u few
great corporate monopolies is moro diro
and dangerous than tho slavery which
bowed the heads and burdened tho
backs of 4000000 southern black men
The attempt to round tho uomowhat
shapeless mass of delegates into work
ing form resulted in considerable dis
order Suggestions for tho makeup of
a committee to map out a program for
tho conference came from every part of
the house with such rapidity that it was
with difficulty that tho temporary chair
man extracted the basis for resolutions
which were finally adopted This was
not accomplished until W Bourko
Cookran and August Guns a dologato
representing tho Knights of Labor had
become tho center of u scene which pro
voked uurostrained laughter Tho hoad
of the New York contingent in an en
deavor to bring a littlo order out of
chaos arose while Mr Gans in a very
loud tone was declaring that his dele
gation was of more importance than
that of any state When tho Now
Yorker began speaking the labor dele
gate fished from a hip pocket a pair of
opera glasses and at short range con
templated the speaker commenting
jtusiMially in such a waythat tho mer
riment attained a volume which
drowned tho voico of the eastern ora
tor It was filially decided that tho
Civic Federation through its head Mr
Gans should conduct the days meet
ing ami that a committee ou program
be appointed consisting ot ono man
fiom each state delegation and one
from each organization national iu its
scope
John W Hayes of the Knights of
Labor created something of a sensation
by declaring that ho did not intend to
bo classed with tho Now Jersey delega
tion oven if ho did vote in that cradle
of trusts Tho non attendance of
many delegates was not unexpected
and Secretary Easloy announced that
probably 100 of tho tardy ones including
Governor Pingrco would bo present to
day
The first tasto of the real business
confronting tho delegates came iu tho
papers dolivered by Professor J W
Jenks and Professor Henry Carter
