Three of the Five Jfe-iv Battle-ships Will Have Them. WASHINGTON, June 25. Secretary Ixmg today approved the finding of the NavaA Board recommending that three of the five new battle-ships dhail be built with superimposed and -waist 8-lnch tur rets and that the remaining' two battle ships shall have cuadrl-laterally arranged S-rnch turrets. "- This turret question has been a source of lively controversy In Naval circlets, oral after the regular Naval Board of Con struction, consisting of the bureau chiefs, had passed upon the question, a. special boaird was created, made up of line and staff omoers of recognized ablKty on ques tions of naval construction, to consider It. The chief division was as to retaining the superimposed turrets, as on the Kentucky and Kcarsartre. or going back to the sys tem of placing turrets qu-adri-laterally, S3 as to fire In broadsides. On this the hoard divided, seven favoring the superimposed turrets, 'while five were for quadri-lateral turrets, and Captain Barker favored a compromtee. buildursg part of each type. The report of the board says: "In view of the strong minority of five membeis. Captain Barker dissenting frcm elti-XT proposition, it was finally decided to recommend three la-tt'o-ohlps with Bupenmpored S-inch turrets and two with independent S-lndh turrets arranged quad-ri-laterally. This was agreed to Dy 12 of the 13 members constituting the board. Naval Constructor Tayfor only voting aeulnst it." Constructor Taylor, In Ws dissenting report, says: 'To divide these vessels between two classes is to definitely advertise to the world tihat. although wo have completed tiwo frjperimpoped turret vessels, we do not know whether or not tlhey are better than if they had been built with separate turrets'. As a further reason "fcr my dis sent. I beg to say that if It is admitted or detormlred that the advantage of be ing ale to concentrate six-inch gunn on either broadside, Inertead of four. Is suffl clontfly grefn to warrant seme sacrifices In other directions. I believe that thte result can readily be reached by an ar rangement Involving disadvantages lesn grave than tOiose following- the supposed principles." Genernl Wheeler's evr Post. CHICAGO. June 25. Brigadier-General Joseph Wheeler assumed command of the Department of the Likes today, relieving ircnerai james F. Wade, who will return to his former post at St. Paul, to direct the affairs of the Department of the Da kotns. General Wheeler expects to re main.

A movement has been started in this state to cornbln the two enterprises of erecting a monu ment to Nancy Hanks, the toother of Abraham Lincoln, aad of establishing a National School of Domestic Science. The proposition is to "build a great training school for teachers of domestic science near the grave of the -woman whose life was spent in the home, and whoselnflu ence, so potent in the future history ot the country, was exerted in the home. Many prominent persons are interested in the movement. THE PENDHTG QUESTION. Boarke Cecteraa ea the Right te Govern. Oar Ifevr Pesscssleas. NEW HAVEN, Conn., June 25. W. Bourke Cockran addressed the graduat ing class of the Tale Law School this afternoon at the anniversary exercises. He said the voung men of the graduat ing class were entering their profession on the eve of the rnimt momentous decis ion ever given by a court, referring to the pending question before the ipreme Court oft me United States on the Con stitute ' aspect of acquired territories. "Should the Supreme Court decide that the Constitution applies to the newly ac quired islands and that their products and their people have free access to our shores, to our ports and to our marts of trade, both political parties -will be as earnest in their desire to be rid of them as one party already seems to be," said Mr. Cockran. "The United States right to take territory is not disputed. The annexation of Canada is a wish of many Americans. The annexation of Mexico is not an Improbability, nor the taking in ot South America an impossibility. Nor is the annexation of part of China today quite so fanciful as three years ago the annexation of the Philippines would have "been considered. It is not impossible that 12 months hence the annexation of a part of the wall of China may be a burn ing political question. "If, on the other hand, the Supreme Court should hold that the annexation of the United States does not hold, then, too, the consequences are momentous. A government's policy can be changed, but the decree of courts stands Irrevocable. What might be the status of the Presi dent In any countries In which Congress would set up the government? The Pres ident might. It Is quite conceivable, re main a Republican magistrate only !n the original republic, and his status range from that in the dependencies to a des potic military ruler. Indeed, Congress might remove the capltol from Washing ton and set It up outside the bounds of the power of the Constitution which cre ated it. It levies taxes, not for the ben efit of the governed, but for the benefit of the governors. These are consequences which might flow from a decision of the court. Tou can now measure for your selves the magnitude of the question which the court can decide by its decla ration." Class Say at Yale. NEW HAVEN, Conn.. June 25. The class-day exercises at Tale -were held on the campus this afternoon, beginning at 2 o'clock, in the wooden amphitheater constructed for that purpose. The amphi theater, seating 1400 people, was comfort ably filled. Many of the auditors were from distant parts of the country, being friends and relatives of the 327 members of the academy class. The exercises con sisted of the singing of college songs, in terspersed with reading of personal rec itations bj the members of the class. As each man's name was reached In the reading, he was hoisted to the shoulders of his classmates. The historians were: Charlton B. Thomas, of Covington. Ky.; M. P. Gould, of Waubanze, Kan.; Ashley D. Leavltt, of Melrose. Mass.; E. B. Hill, of Yonkers, N. T., and C. H. Draper, of Hopedale. Mass. The reading of the his tories was followed by the planting ot the class ivy at the Chittenden Library. Eden College. ST. LOUIS. June 25. The semi-centennial of Eden College, which began yes terday, was continued today with fairer weather. Yesterday, despite the rain, at least 10,000 persons attended the exercises, and that number was augmented today. At least half of those present are from other states. Eden College Is the only theological seminary of the Evangelical Lutheran Church In the Western Hemis phere. This -was alumni day, several hun dred graduates of the colleges being pres ent. Addresses were made by prominent church men and professors. A SPANISH GUN FORGOTTEN One of the Maria Teresa's Guns Hid den Away in a Barn. Minneapolis Times. With the tiny threads woven by an In dustrious spider scaling up a muzzle that was designed to spitefully spit steel .mes sengers of death, the big gun one of the big guns that during our late unpleas antness with Spain received the loving pats and rubs of the gunners on board Admiral Cervera's flag-ship, the Maria Teresa lies forgotten In a barn on the east side. After the men behind the guns on the American battle-ships had sent shot a'fter shot Into the hulls of the Spanish war ships on that never-to-be-forgotten 2d of July, and the news of the victory was flashed North, the citizens of St. Paul learned that the guns from the battered Iron wrecks that had once been the pride of the Spanish Navy were to be shipped to the navy-yard, and they decided that they should have one of these guns hi their city. The Naval Veterans' Association in Min neapolis was not to be outdone, and the veterans wrote and secured a gun. The gun, a Scinch steel breech-loading rifle, cast in 1S97, was shipped to Minneapolis at the expense of the Naval Veterans, and when It arrived was placed on exhibi tion. After the curiosity of the citizens had been sated the gun was removed from its place of exhibition and then It disap peared. No one seemed to care, for the war was over, and the war fever had died out. and every one forgot the gun. It was so completely forgotten that a search for It proved a hard one, but at last It was located. Some one had seen It carried to the cast side, and there It was discovered, stored away In a barn. It was stored there by the Naval Vet erans, and It will remain there until some plan Is devised to secure funds to build a pedestal on .which to mount It. There has been some talk among the naval men of sending It to St. Paul, where It could be mounted In front of the new State Capltol, but there Is considerable objec tion to this plan, and in all probability the gun will bo brought forth, again, and after being- polished up, mounted In one of the city parks. The gun is still In good condition. The Naval Association Is taking care of It, but there Is no prospect of Its being brought out In the near future unless some feasible suggestion is made where by a good location and funds for the mounting can be found. Filipino Character .Not Trnstvrerthy. Scrlbnerfs. From our point of view, all of them seem immature, by which Is meant that their characters are comparable with those of AndO'Saxfln bovs rather trinr. with those of men of our race. Their principles do not seem fully formed. A native servant will he faithful and hon est for years, and then steal a paltry sum. perhaps to buy a trinket for his sweetheart. They require frequent ad monitions to duty. They have much amour propre. are even touchy, and think more of a slight than of an "Injury. They are presuming and generally on the watch to see how far they can go. They are both suspicious and credulous. They are generous and hospitable, but give the impression of neither expecting grati tude for favors, nor feeling It. This, however, .Is a somewhat uncertain point, for they are extremely reluctant to be. tray their feelings In the presence of white men. They are not frank; and their word is not to be depended upon In most cases. A RESTRAINING ORDER ST. LOUIS STRIKERS 3CU5T ROT DT-. TERFERE "WITH MAIL CARS. Carmen's Oaly Hope Nevr Lies la the Boycott Resalt f the laauest. ST. LOUIS, June 25. Judge Elmer B. Adams, of the United States District Court, today granted a temporary In junction in the case of W. D. Mahon and all members of Division No. 1311 of the Amalgamated Association of Street Rail way Employes of America, restraining them from interfering in any way with the running of mallcirs over the lines of the St. Louis Transit Company. None of the defendants were present. They were represented by W. S. Anthony, while Dis trict Attorneys Hitchcock and Roslere acted for the Government. In summing up the contents of the affi davits presented, Mr. Anthony declared that It was not shown that any of the defendants named had been guilty of law lessness. "On the contrary." he added, "the strike leaders and all the members of the Street Railway Men's Union have counseled law and order. The Transit company Is not responsible, perhaps, for the unsettled conditions which existed. It Is the union men who have been made to suffer and bear the brunt of all the disturbances. The president of the union, Mr. Patterson. Is dying in the hos pital as the result of being stabbed by an assassin." At the conclusion of the arguments Judge Adams rendered his decision sub stantially as follows: 'Tt Is conceded by the defendants that this court has Jurisdiction over the ques tion at Issue. In the cise of the United States vs. Debs, it was held that where it was shown there was unlawful Interfer ence with the malls or Interstate com merce, the power of the Court ot Chan cery could be Invoked. The authority of the Government is binding upon 11 the people. No distinction Is made ..r the young or the old, the rich or the poor. The question here Is whether the defend ants have been shown by the affidavits to have been Interfering with the Instru mentalities and the agencies of 'the Fed eral Government "The court. In passing upon the point, does not undertake to punish If the af firmative position is sustained. The .in junction process Is Intended as a deter rent, a preventive of lawlessness, and Is a declaration and warning to all the people. The Issue as set forth here Is not one between the Trinsit Company and the members of the street-car union, but of the United States against the strikers and all persons who may Interfere with the operation of the malls. Irrespective of whether this or that person has been guilty of an act of lawlessness, a reason able apprehension as to a. violation of the laws of the United States Is practically all that is necessary to determine the issuance of an Injunction. "Soon after the present st-ike was In augurated there were scenes of lawless ness throughout the city. It Is admit ted that the m&llcars have been Inter fered with and their prompt operation rendered Impossible. The defendants and those who have acted In concert with them ordered the strike. From this it follows that, whether they are guilty of the lawlessness or not, as complained of, they must be held accountable for the necessary consequences of their acts. If It Is true, and I hope it Is. that none of the officials his been guilty of interfer ing with the mailcars. then tho Injunc tion can certainly do no harm. How ever, my ruling Is not based upon that conclusion. The motion for a temporary injunction Is accordingly granted." This afternoon the Transit Company and the union men seemed satisfied with the situation. A. M. Morrison, of the Grievance committee, said: "Our hope lies in the boycott, and If the friends of organized labor will stand by us, we will win In the end, or something will burst." On the other hand, the company claims that, as tho danger from violence de creases, the cars have more passengers, and that as soon as all fear is removed the normal traffic will resume. About 9C0 members of the Sheriff's posse comltatus were furloughed today, under orders from the Board of Police Commis sioners. A force of 500 Deputies will bo retained for guard duty at the various car shops and power-houses. The Inquest that Is trying to establish the responsibility for the death of Thomas. Rlne and Burckhardt. strikers who were shot and killed In front of the posse barracks. June 10, was concluded today, and the Jury retired to consider the testimony. After being out several hours, the Jury returned three verdicts. The verdict In the case of Edward Thomas Is that he came to his death by a gunshot wound inflicted by a member of the posse, which was at the time act ing In the discharge of Its duty. The verdict in the case of George Rine and Edward Burckhardt Is that they came to their deaths at the hands of parties unknown, and that the shooting was not Justified. Both Gardner McKnight and George W. Cox, deputies, are exonerated from all blame. Conference on Xetv Wage Scale. DETROIT. Mich., June 25. A committee of 26 members of the Amalgmated Iron. Steel and Tin Workers met representa-ti-es of the Republic Iron & Steel Com pany and the American Steel Hoop Com pany at the Griswold House this after noon and began a conference on the dif ferences on the various points of the new wage scale. ICE IN HOT COUNTRIES. Nearly Everybody Gets Along With out It. New York Sun. Ever since tho trade In artificial Ice be gan manufactures of lce-maklng plants have been seeking markets In hot coun tries, where no natural Ice Is procurable, except In the neighborhood of lofty moun tains. They have sold some Ice plants In tropical cities, but It Is doubtful If they would have met even with moderate suc cess If it had not been for brewers and a few other manufacturers who find Ice dc drable in thrtr business. The people gen erally get along very well without Ice, as their fathers did before them, and com paratively few have learned to appreciate Its desirable qualities since the opportunity of buying Ice was presented to them. Our Department of State, some years ago. collected facts about the Ice industry ana consumption In tropical countries. It has just published In the Consular Re ports the result of the latest Investigations In the same field. Both these reports show that the people of the tropics care very little for Ice, and that no real progress Is making toward the general Introduction of ice In hot countries. In Guatemala, for example, ice is used mainly In saloons, restaurants and hotels and very few -families own a refrigerator or buy ice. The City of San Salvador, with a population of 30,000, consumes only 5000 pounds per day; there Is no cold storage In the city, and all meat sold on the market Is killed the previous night. There Is not a single Ice plant in Bolivia, but some natural Ice, brought by the In dians from th& mountains, is sold In La Paz. In the large seaport of Bahla, Brazil, the first attempt at lce-maklng waa aban doned because there was no demand. For three years past, however, one small plant has been maklnsr about 14 tons a day, which Is sold to the hotels and drink shops patronized by the foreign population and a few foreign families. The Ice Is not used to preserve food, but only to cool drinks. The laws require that all meat killed one day shall be sold before noon next day, and just enough meat Is killed to supply the average dally demand. In tho City of Barranqullla, Colombia, there are no refrigerating plants or cooUng rooms, and meat, not salted soon after the animals are killed, becomes unfit for food. The Deputy Consul at Colon -writes that no town In his Consular district, except Colon, would -consume enough Ice to Jus tify the erection of a plant. The only Ice factory to Ecuador Is run by a brewing firm at Guayaquil, and the firm consumes -the entire product. In Uruguay there la a prejudice against cold drinks or food re frigeration. Consul Goidschmldt writes fro-m Venezuela, that: the email demand for ice there is due to the fact that victuals and meats are not kept over night, but are dally bought In the market for Imme diate use.

Practice "Work of Hnrvnrl and Yale Crews on the Thames. HARVARD QUARTERS. GALE'S FER RY, Conn., June 25. The Harvard 'Varsity eight went ont on the river under a new captain today, while Captain Pete Hig glnson languished on a cot, suffering from a broken leg, sustained while play ing ball yesterday.

They rowed In one stretch up the river for a mile. The shell traveled only fairly, and plainly showed the loss of HIgglnson. YALE QUARTERS? GALE'S FERRY, Conn.. June 25. The principal topic of discussion here today was the unf omnia ce accident to Captain HIgglnson, of the Harvard 'Varsity crew, and on every side were keen expressions of regret and sympathy. All three crews were on the river for a short time, but thi practice was very light, the crews remaining out less than half an hour. On the Ifatfiinn. HIGHLAND, N. Y.. June 25. Tho most ideal conditions prevailed for practice In the racing shells today. Tae Cornell crews, 'varsity and freshmen's eights and 'varsity fours rowed down to the srirting point, where they were advised bv Coach Courtney a few minutes and then rowed over the four-mile course, and turned back to their quarters. The Pennsylvania 'varsity and freshmen got Into their shells and rowed up the river, with Coach Ward following on the launch. A yacht came up to the Wiscon sin boathouse and took Andrew O'Dea, their coach, on board. Then tho lta.lger crews got Into their shells and s.t.irtea off for regular practice. -Columbia l.ad not yet appeared on the water, but there were signs of activity about their boat house.

The Most Popular Official in the Ad " ministration. By nature an artist and student, by profession a lawyer and financier, and by accident a politician such Is Charles Gates Dawes, of Evanston, Controller of the Currency, just now conspicuous be cause he Is aiding Grosvenor In booming Dolliver for Vice-President, says a Wash ington letter to the Chicago Journal. By unanimous consent he Is the most popu lar man In the Administration, and stands closer in the President's confidence than any other man In Washington save Hanna. To say that Mr. DaVea owes his pres ent position to William Jennings Bryan might seem like straining at the sensa tional. Certainly no one would be more prompt than Mr. Dawes to deny that ho owed that gentleman anything. But in a certain sense it appears to be true. For seven years prior to 1S94 Mr. Dawes was a resident of Lincoln, Neb. He was a near neighbor of the celebrated advo cate of free silver, and had quite an In timate and pleasant acquaintance with that gentleman. They belonged to the same debating club, and frequently crossed swords In Intellectual combat over financial and economic questions. It happened that casual verbal con troversies led to serious study of the sub ject to which his attention had been di rected, and In the course of time re searches took the form of a book en titled "The Banking System of the United States." Mr. Dawes was bom In Marietta, O., August 29. 1S65. In' 18S5 he followed the advice of Horace Greeley and went West to Nebraska. For seven years he mixed up law and railroading, the combination finally resulting In his making a spe cialty of railroad freight rates. Two years were devoted to a special study ot the subject. Then came the hearing which led up to tha passage of the lnter ntate commerce law. Mr. Dawes made the fight for the shippers, and- there was a real, 'live debate, in which he met all tho experts and special attorneys of the united railroads of the country- It was In this wrangle that he won his spurs, and he is more proud of that work to day than of any other thing he has ac complished. In 1894 ho moved; to Evanston, where ho had become interested' In the local Vis lighting company, and in 1895 he was se lected by Mr. McKlnley to organize the McKinley movement in Illinois. During the past four years Mr. Dawes has established close personal relations -with all the prominent politicians of Illi nois. Thero are few men In the state who have as wide an acquaintance and as few enemies. In a quiet way the Controller of the Currency Is a practical philanthropist. There are more widows and self-supporting women on his patronage list "than on that of any other man who controls pa tronage. They are -what the politician would call "dead ones" meaning that they yield no political return for their appointment. He is one of the few men In tho Government service who has no use for a doorkeeper. There is no ante room, no cards. One of the strongest -traits of Mr. Dawes ds his aversion to anything which savors of snobbishness. He will go out of his way to avoid even tho appearance of ca tering to greatness. On one occasion ho was urged by the President to ride with him In his carriage at some big function at Arlington. The Controller declined firmly, urging pressing business, and then attended on foot. Asked by a friend why he had done so, he explained that he didn't like tlw part. He wanted to stand before the people for what ho was, and, while he was very fond of Mr. McKlnley, iho did not like to be regarded as "Kbo friend of the President." Th& sincerity of his attitude in this mat ter is evidenced by the fact that he does all his visiting at the White House under cover ot darkness. At least three nights In tho week Mr. Dawes calls on Mr. Mc Klnley between the hours of 10:30 and 12. Another characteristic which is a corol lary of others named Is fidelity to his CM Mi Time was when Cancer was considered as incurable as leprosj. Physicians and friends could eive little relief or encouragement to one afflicted with this terrible disease. Even now doctors know of no remedy for this fearful malady ; while admitting it to be. a blood disease, they still insist that there is no hope outside of a surgical operation, and advise you to have the Cancer cut out, but at the same time cannot assure you that it vn'.: not return. You may cut or draw out the sore, but another will come in its place, for the disease is in the blood is deep-seated and destructive, and beyond the reach of the surgeon's knife ox caustic, flesh-destroying plasters. The blood must be purified and strengthened, the system relieved of all poisonous effete matter before the Cancer sore will heal. ' S. S S. is the only medicine that can overcome this powerful and contaminating poison and force it out of the blood. It butlds up and invigorates the old. and supplies new. rich, life-giving blood. S. S. S. is a purely vegetable remedy : no minerdl can be found in it : the roots and herbs from which it is made contain powerful punfving properties that act directly upoa the blood system and make a safe and permanent cure of Cancer. It has cured thousands, why not you ? Cancer is not always inherited ; yonr family may be free from any taint, yet your blood may become so polluted that a sever or nose, a small lump on the jaw or breast, a harmless looking wart or mole, and other causes so insignificant as to attract little or no attention. If you have an obstinate sore, don't rely upon salves or ointments to cure itbegin with S. S. S. at once; it will cleanse your blood and prevent the formation of cancerous cells. Mrs R. Shirer.

Dr. Copelamd's Earnest Advice to AH Chronic Invalids is to Take Advantage of Favorable Climatic Conditions for the Medical Atten tion They Require. Of the hnndreds of cases of asth ma, lnasr troubles, rkenmatism and catarrhal diseases treated and cared at the Copcland Institute daring- the past seven years, ander the Inexpensive syntem now no popular vrlth the community, statistics prove that the average time occu pied in a cure, with patients begin ning: dnrina the Summer months, is from one-third to one-half less than with those beginning: a coarse dnr ina the rigors of Winter. The aim of the Copcland physi cians is not only to care the dis eases that meike so mncli of the gloom and sorrow of life; nor is It their sole aim tto brlna relief to snf ferlng: at the lowest possible cost to the sufferer. Beyond this humane and most useful consammatlon, It has been Dr. Copeland's great ambi tion to cure di-iease in a far briefer period of time than was asually considered necessary. DISCHARGING EARS AND DEAFNESS Mrs. SI. Douthlt, Postofflce address Portland: Many years ago I had diph theria and since that time have been troubled with my ears. There -was a con stant discharge from both ears. Some times it was merely a little watery dls- charge, at other times It was thick and foul. I had sharp shooting pains through the enrs and a terrible Itching. At times this would nearly set me wild. The ears were dry and scaly. My hearing was very dull. I could not understand the common tones of the voice. At church I could not hear what the minister said unless I was right up In front. I could not hear the clock tick except when close up to It. There was a continual buzzing and roaring In my head and a stopped-up feeling. I was suffering intensely when I be gan treatment at the Copeland Institute, but almost from the first day I saw an Improvement. The discharge and Itching began to disappear, the ears healed, and my hearing got better. I live a shortl distance out of the city, but will gladly answer any letters, for I am always pleased to recommend the Copeland treat ment, which has done so much for me. Consultation Frzz. Mrs. M.

His friendship is not a fair weather one. A contemporaneous illus tration is at hand. Mr. Dawes is a great friend of Senator Beveridge. No man Is more unpopular at the present moment than the young Senator from Indiana; but Mr. Dawesi will listen to no word against him. He says Mr. Beveridge Is honest, and that tips the balance against everything they may say against him. If Mr. Dawes were not all the other things which be Is, be would- be literary. Tho real man Is to be judged by t&at which he admires. All his instincts turn In this direction, and In the leisure which, remains from the press of administrative duties he turns from, statistics to the hu manities. A story well told, a picture well painted. Is to him a positive pleas ure. He enjoys if and- wishes to pass H on. " Ho is the kind of man who keeps a sorap-book and marks good passages In the classics. He kept up a year's corre spondence once to reproduce an extempo raneous speech delivered1 by the lata Gov ernor Oglesby, of Illinois, and was re warded by the feeling that a good thing had' been preserved.

THE SWIFT jaBfc JHHV jpsrap. sHrlfl mm mjnym MSW&0 There arc maladies that it rcqaires time to master. Asthma requires time. Seated luns troubles require time. CrippllnE rheumatism, re quires time, the rot and poissa at catarrh require time. According- to Dr. Copeland's idea, the Intelligence and the humanity exercised in delivering: an invalid from the agony and dejection of dis ease by a course of direct, masterly and telling treatment, when ell aaatic conditions may he depended apon to aid nature and science, is much shorter than when science un aided must bring about the care. Dr. Copeland feels that when ia aaa beings are to be lifted from the pit there should be expedition. His earnest advice to all who contem plate treatment at the Copcland in stitute Is to begin now, while Sum mer lingers with her balms and all the pleasant climatic Influences strengthen the effort of science to make recovery sot only certain, bat expeditious i HOME TREATMENT.

William Dinwiddle In Harper's Weekly. The problem confronting South Africa today has a far deeper significance than the mere question as to which races English or Dutch shall dominate the territory. The great vital principle un derlying this conflict is whether or not a people who have paid for and own over half the geographical area of the Trans vaal, who represent considerably over three-fourths of the actual moneyed wealth of the country In permanent Im provements, who pay a full nine-tenths of the taxes of the state, and who slight ly outnumber the Boer population, shall control that government, or at least have a voice In determinlng the methods of administration to be pursued. The above .is a precise outline of the conditions ex isting in the Transvaal today, and the citizens of the United States, reared upon democratic principles, will have even less hesitancy than the Britisher In declar ing that the right to govern belongs to the majority, especially when It Is re membered that that majority represents all the material advancement of the country.
