LONDON July 23 ( New York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram ) England -will
selzo the Tranveaat and overthrow the re
public beyond a doubt unless the legislature
nt Pretoria adopts a law giving the fran
chise without restriction to every Outlander
who has been In the countrj seven jcars
nnd formally acknowledges British suzer
ainty.
The most significant thing In last nlght'B
debate In Parliament was Mr. Chamberlain's
ollcnco when challenged to say whether a
fcucccssful war would mean the annexing ot
the republic or merely the enforcing of the
leforms.
The liberal opposition , though holding In
the main that there Is no cause for warlike
intervention , Is afraid a strongly hostile at
titude would bring on a frc-h schism in
its own party , which contains a considerable
jingo element The opinion expressed by
politicians of nil shades In the House of
Commons lobby Is that war Is Inevitable , as
the Doers' Indignation at British demands
is so deep and their determination Is so
strong that even If President Kruger desired
to concede everything he would be over
thrown and General Joubert would take the
responsibility of the fighting.
Dr. Leyds , the representative of the Boer
republic In Hurope , says-
"Under the franchise now insisted upon
toy Mr. Chamberlain we Boers would be a
liolplesa minority ia our own Volksraad In
three years. Our past experience of British
nggresslon which durlug sixty years has
driven us from Capetown to Pretoria , with
remorselees persistency shows that we have
nothing to expect once wo surrender our
jmwor. "
The republic Is now suffering for Its stub
bornness , for if it had granted moderato
concessions from tlmo to time the agitation
never would have reached the present
pitch. England Is making every prepara
tion for war. A military officer who Is a
member of Parliament tells the World cor
respondent that Jioknows eight additional
cavalry regiments have just received orders
to hold themselves In readiness to embark
for the Capo on a week'a notice and that
regimental reliefs coming from India num
bering 4,000 men are being sent by the Capo
route , Instead of by the Suez canal , while
the manufacturing and packing of all kinds
of ammunition at the Woolwich arsenal are
proceeding with the utmost dispatch.
Still , dctiplto the confident tone of the
minority and the overwhelming cry for
force from the ministerial press , It IB prob
lematical whether such a war would bo pop
ular with the countrj' . There Is an uneasy
feeling , coupled with a suspicion that It Is
bolng provoked , not on account of the necefl-
sltle of Imperial prestige , but In the Inter
est of the Hhodeslan ring of speculators ,
who are * now striving to obtain by this
moans nnd nt the ccst of the British tax-
paors what they failed to achieve through
the Jameson raid.
DUBLIN BECOMES INDIGNANT

DUBLIN , July 29. ( Now York World
Cablegram Special Telegram ) Dublin
Is frantic with Indignation over the emascu
lation by a House of Lords committee of a
bill promoted by the Dublin corporation in
Parliament to enable it to extend its bound
aries by taking in a number of townships
which have grown up around Its borders.
Those townwhlpa , which are practically a
part of Dublin , are mainly residential , and
in iill except one the lories have control
of the governing bodies. They gain all the
ndvnntngcs of proximity to the city , of which
00 per cent of their residents use the roads
and enjoy the public facilities ; but because
the Dublin corporation baa a nationalist
majority the townships fiercely resist any
inclusion within the city boundaries.
The bill passed through the House of Com
mons , where it was bitterly fought for
twenty days , though the corporation to dis
arm the townships conceded them a prefer
ential tax rating and offered them a far
larger representation in the proposed new
governing body of greater Dublin than they
were proportionately entitled to. In the
House of Lords the bill -was referred to a
committee presided over by the duke of
Northumberland , with four other peers , all
except one of whom are unionists.
The ground landlords of two of the prin
cipal townships opposed to be Included In
Dublin happen to bo peers , the carl of
Pembroke and Lord Ardllaun , while some
other pecis also own land in the other
townships In question ,
ntervthelinliiK Cnne Made Out ,
The case made out for the bill was overwhelming -
whelming , but after fifteen days' considera
tion the duke ot Northumberland , without |
giving any reason , announced that the com
mittee could only pass the bill on the con
dition that the townships be excluded , The
other powers sought lit the bill are unlm-
portent So the decUlon Is equivalent to a
rejection of the bill after the corporation
had spent $200,000 promoting It.
Prlvato bills are supposed to bo dealt with
by the committees purely on their present
merits , at least a majority of them are ; but
in this rose the unionist people had a chance
of obliging their Irish colleagues while- deal
ing a blow nt an Irish nationalist corpora
tion and they could not resist the tcmpta-1
tlon. i
The bill cornea back to the House of Commons - I
mons on Tuesday for an agreement with the
lords admirals , and the nationalist party ore
endeavoring to get It restored to its former
ebapo , but if they succeed it will certainly
be thrown out by the lords , Hitter resent
ment Is felt throughout Ireland at this
scandalous abuse of Its powers by the House
of I < ords and the only hope of the Dublin
corporation now is In the support of the
Gladstonlan party In the House of Commons ,
thourh a abort time ago the corporation re
to give It a site for n Gladstone me
morial.
Every new nationalist movement In Ire
land now appears to produce a fresh schism
nnd the proposal to erect a monument to
Parncll Is no exception to the rule. A meetIng -
Ing with that object was held under the
presidency of the lord miyor of Dublin tblfi
week and letters approving the projf-t wore
read from Dillon And Justin McCarthy , nhllo
John Redmond attended and spoke In Its fa
vor. But the extreme section , who are sup
posed to bo In sympathy with Redmond , de
veloped strong hostility on the ground that
until the movement for raising a monument
to Wolfe Tone of 1798 fame Is successfully
carried through Parnell should get no me
morial. Redmond argued that there wag
nothing material agalnit the project , but ho
could not allay the opposition , and the mo
tion In favor of a Parncll monument vvas
only carried after n hot Jebato and a di
vision , which showed its opponents to 1 o a
very considerable minority
So dissension spreads and flourishes among
the Irish nationalists This week a pro
posal has been made that Sir Charles Gavan
Duffy , the octogenarian pntrlot , should bo
given a frco hand to arbitrate between the
different Irish parliamentary factions and In
vitations were sent hy friends of his to Dil
lon , Redmond and Tim Healy , asking them
to meet and confer about the scheme Dillon
replied that since his retirement from tBe
chair he could not represent any one but
himself and expressed the belief that the
Irish people were brlnjlng about unity in
their own way. This Is understood to tie an
allusion to the spread of William O'Brien's
United Irish league , which is establishing
branches now In Munster and Lelnstor nnd
It Is said It practically has the whole of
Connaught under Its sway.
Redmond wrote offering to meet the repre
sentative factions and consider Duffy's offer.
Healy , it Is sold , made n similar offer , but
there will be no conference and If there was
It would bo useless , as a union to bo en
during must now come from the people and
not the readers.

LONDON , July 29. ( New York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram ) Wl&hard's
management of Richard's Crokor's horses
at their new training quarters at Exnlng
House , Newmarket , is already exciting un
favorable comment in the neighborhood
Wlshard Is attempting a policy of useless
secrecy with the horses , which are always
taken to the heath hy the back way and
at Irregular hours. With the exception of
Amerlcus and Bowling Green , the touts can
not tell one horse from the other and when
the question : "What are you riding ? " is
asked , Croker's lads Invariably reply : "Got
no name. "
This policy makes Croker and his trainer
needlessly unpopular nnd Is regarded as par
ticularly ridiculous In view of the wretched
form shown by Croker's horses this sea
son.
son.Croker
Croker was greatly disgusted at the per
formance of Amerlcus at Goodwood , where
ho was backed heavily. The horse caused
a long delay at the post by his bad temper.
Ho ran niwny from the rest in an amazing
way for the first five furlongs , but ho failed
to stay and his form was exposed ( without
result. Croker's loss is estimated to have
been at least $5.000.
The nonsensical story published In a New
York paper that Croker runs his stables on
a plan by which if horses do not win the
trainer pays his own salary and also for
the feed of the horses brought a grim smile
to WIshard's face when the extract was
shown to him. Although Croker's cleverness
IB admitted , he has not yet achieved the
feat of running a , racing stable at the ex
pense of his trainer.

whose accredited state Is Nebraska , la en

already arrived In thin country and an
nounced that ho will not return to the Islands
In any capaclt ) .
Mr. Osboru , strange to say , Is quite
satisfactory to the German government , and
presumably also to the English government
as well , and that may account for his being
retained In the position of general high
executioner during the Interim of the high
joint commission leaving and the presence
of other consul generals. But Mr. Osborn ,
according to private advices , Is quite tired
of his job. He would like to get home to
the states or rather would like to have a
transfer to some other country , where the
possibilities of war are not as great as they

ways , from West Qulncy to the Missouri and
Iowa state lines.
Commissioners Flory , Hennessey and Me-
Cully left West Qulncy July 20 , and , ac
cording to their report , found the properties
In extremely bad condition. They say
"We find the roadbed from Weal Qulncy
to Trenton In very bad condition The sides
are badly washed , all cuts' sa\e a few rc-
centry opened arc badly flllod and In many
places , by virtue of docajcd and broken
ties , the rails are almost hidden from sight.
From Trenton to 1'attonsburg the same con

to the Iowa state line the conditions arc
about the same The ties generally In the
lines are old and rotten and fully one-
third of them are worthless , except between
Trenton and Pattonaburg , where thej arc
new and reasonably safe. Halls on the curves
arc badly worn and with heavy tralllc ciinnot

The board made the following order.
j'lrst AH defective bridges , as Indicated
in the report , must bo repaired and rebuilt.

PLATTSBURG , N. Y. , July 29 President
AIcKlnley's flist caller today nas George
( McCurtls Treadwell , Governor Roosevelt's
military secretary , who bore a message
from the governor bidding the president
welcome ito New York stato. The president
spent most of the day In reading the news
papers and attending to his correspondence.
Mrs. McKlnley felt stronger than she did
yesterday. After luncheon a two-seated
carriage was brought up , with a driver , and
the president and his wife took a short
drive around the hotel grounds. The drive
proved too much for Mrs. McKlnley , how
ever , and they returned to the hotel In
less than half nn hour. The prc&ldent , as
sisted by Secretary Cortelyou , helped Mis.
McKlnloy from the carriage to a wheel
chair , in which she was wheeled to her
apartments. The president Is familiar with
the roads in the vicinity of the hotel , and
after Mrs. iMcKlnley Is moie able to ac
company him , they will enjoy the many
drives along the lake shore and back lo the
mountains.
Both Mr. and Mrs. McKiuley expressed
their sorrow on learning of the death ot
two members of the Twenty-first regiment ,
which was In the thick of the fighting in
the last battle near Manila. The Twenty-
first regiment wai stationed at Plattsburg
barracks two years ago , while the presi
dent was here , and each morning a guard
mount was held on the lawn in front of
the hotel , after -which fhe troops were re
viewed by the president. Mrs McKlnley
gave the regiment a handsome silk flag ,
which they carried all through the Santiago
campaign and which they are now defend
ing in the Philippines. The regiment came
to bo known as the "President's Own , " and
both he and Mrs. McKlnloy take a special
interest in their movements
Tomorrow the president has been Invited
to attend services at the First Methodist
church , but owing to Mrs. McKinley's Ill
ness It is doubtful whether he will accept
the invitation.

TRIESTE , July 29 ( New York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram ) Admiral
Dewey read the alleged Interview ( printed
in the Now York Herald in which ho Is
made to say "Our next war will bo with
Germany" ) with disgust , and then said :
"I have no time to read , let alone affirm
or deny , all the lies and Irresponsible rub
bish which have been printed about me since
my arrival In Trieste. "
Whereupon he went on with the occupation
he had in hand. Those of his officers who
enjoy his confidence , if anybody does , hay
that If he never made such remarks In pri
vate , It Is unlikely ho would do so In an
Interview. One officer suggested the Inter
view miiht have been done for spite. Com

NEW YORK , July 29 ( Special Telegram )
The Interview to which Mr. Palmer refers
was had by him with Admiral Dewey In
Manila April 2G. The following are the
significant paragraphs :
"He showed me a letter from Admiral
von Dlcderlclis of the German navy , con
gratulating him on his deserved promotion ,
and also his letter In reply , which closed
with the words 'all our differences were of
newspaper men. '
"Admiral Dewey also sajs ho is on the
most friendly terms with Prince Henry of
Prussia , who succeeded Von Dlederlchs as
ccmnnnder-ln-chlcf of the German fleet In
Chinese waters.
Before sending this cablegram , I showed
the original to Admiral Dewey and he made
It official by endorsing It with this line.

ing with praises of 1ho gallant Nebraskans
and In the face of this the croakers will
have no show.
The Nebraska boys In the hospital at the

Soon lie Here ,
SAN FRANCISCO. July 29. ( Special Tele-
gram. ) A Nebraska party visited the In
diana today and Inspected the Filipinos who
are heio under charge of H. M. Dallcy , ready
to go to the Omaha exposition. They have
been hold hero eight days on account of
contract labor laws , but permission to land
ia expected today or tomorrow. There arc
thirty-four Filipinos In all , including several
women and children. All Room healthy and
not affected by the change of weather. There
is also a considerable- amount of nativa
goods for the exhibit , which is bolng loaded
on the cars today.
WASHINGTON , July 20 ( Special Tele
gram ) The failure of the appeal taken In
the Filipino case from the decision or Com
missioner North of the Immigration bureiui
nt San Francl > co to reach Commissioner
Powderly in this city is accountable foi the
delay In rollevlng the Filipinos now at the
Golden Gate. All day Commissioner Pow
derly waited upon the malls to bring him
the appeal , which ho understood had been
sent fiom San Francisco last Monday , but
at 4 o'clock this afternoon be stated that
nothing could bo done until next Monday ,
when ho hoped that the conditions would
bo favorahlo to take up the matter and 'Us-
71030 of it to the satlnfaction of all con
cerned.
There Is little doubt but that a prece
dent may ho found In the Glenn Inland
case for the liberation of the Filipinos
who came to the United States for exhibi
tion purposes at the Greater America Ux-
positlon That tano waa made largely by
the cornmlHBloner himself upon the ground
that It would not bo fair to the natlvi >
who had coma 10000 mllnt to shut them
out Incontinently , ropeclally In view of th
fact that their education might he of con
siderable advantage to the American people
upon thtlr return to the Philippine islands ,
and It la presumed that a like condition
of affairs v\lll bo reached In favor of thi
fifteen FillplncH who are now housed In
San Funclsco living upon the steamship
compan ) during their term of probation ,
while their frlemlH aru doing all they pos
sibly can to secure the rt. vernal of Commis
sioner Norths opinion which held that thry
were contract laborers and nut arilbla in any
eente of the term.
