THE MOENING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, MAY 31, 1902. FUTURE OF CAPE COLONY DIFFICULTIES LIKELY TO COX FRONT THE BRITISH. IX the CoiiKtltutlon Is Restored tho Afrikunderuund "Will Dominate the Situation. LONDON, Hay 30. In connection with the resignation of Dr. J. W. Smart, Com missioner of Public "Works, from the Cape Colony Cabinet, -which was announced from Cape Town yesterday, an interesting fcidelight of the difficulties likely to con front the British administrators of South Africa after the conclusion of peace is furnished by an article which will be pub lished In tomorrow's Empire Hevlew, the editor of which claims to have excep tional sources of information. The writer of the article points out that Cape Coloney will present a. most serious problem after the closo of hostilities. The province, which is nominally self-governing, la now deprived of a constitution, is under military law and Is honeycombed with disloyalty from end to end. The author of the article declares further that If an attempt is made to restore the con- stltutlon, the Afrlkanderbund will surely dominate the political situation, and that campaign speeches will fan the existing race hatred to a worse state than before or during the war. The only safety for the whole of South Africa, according to the Review, lies in smothering the last epark of sedition and in transforming the Cape to a crown colony and governing It on that basis for several years to come. Speaking at Leeds tonight. Lord Rose bery advised the leaders of the Liberal party to postpone the announcement of the programme until there is some imme ' diate prospect of getting it carried out. Lord Rosebery said the first and greatest question before the public is peace, which he believes will b& announced In a few days. He said he hoped that all might be able to support the government's policy of pacification, but warned his hearers that the Ministry is not concluding peace with u crushed foe. to whom no further attention need be paid. The speaker said he hoped the government would be wise enough to adopt a generous policy and convert brave foes into brave friends. This certainly could not be done, said Lord Rosebery, on the lines heretofore sketched by Lord Salisbury, the Premier, who said: "A resolute government might be required for generations." Referring to the present financial policy of the government. Lord Rosebery said he thought the tax on corn was a prelude to a sort of zollvereln throughout the em pire. He said he could not summarily dismiss any proposal for the closer union of the British Empire, but the advantage must be demonstratedly great to justify such a departure as a zollvereln would necessitate and that this departure would mean giving up the control of Great Brit ain's financial system to the British colo nies. LONDON, May 31. Lord Rosebery's speech at Leeds last ulght, in addition to confirming the imminence of peace In South Africa, was a strong attack on the government because of the education bill and the grain tax, and in this respect it Is regarded as bringing him still further into. line with the Liberals. The Morning Pos Conservative, in Its Issue this morn ing, says: "It is the speech of a leader, and the most effective attack which has hitherto been made upon the government. The latter would be prudent to take warn ing thereby." Kitchener Ready to Harame. LONDON; May 30 The government has not 3?tp receded the decision from tthe Boer conference at Vcreenlglng, Trans vaal which was expected today and which was. to enable Mr. alfour, the government leader,, to .make, his state ment concerning peace next Monday. A dispatch received here from Pretoria says that the British columns In South Africa, especially the horses, have been greatly benefited by their long rest. All prep arations have been made, says the dis patch, and Lord Kitchener will again take the field if x there is any delay in the acceptance of Great Britain's terms by the .Boers. In the meantime, prepar ations are being made for the repatria tion at the Boer refugees upon the termi nation of hostilities. Kruger Will Slprn Peace Settlement. BRUSSELS, May 30. It is said here that the Boer delegates in Europe now admit that peace in South Africa has been secured, and that the settlement between the Boers and Great Britain will be signed in the names of the former citizens of the two fiouth African Republics who are now in Europe, Including Mr. Kruger, thus preventing the irreconcilables from con tinuing the guerrllL". warfare on the pre text that they are obeying the orders of the Boer delegates In Europe. Administration of the Cnpc. LONDON, May 3L The Times, this morning, dealing editorially with the mo mentous situation which has arisen In Cape Colony, advocates the temporary administration of the Cape as a crown colony as the only safe and prudent course. The necessity for such action, eays the Times, was realized by the late Cecil Rhodes, who devoted the last days of his life to the Initiation of a move ment with that aim. POTTS. AND THE KAISER. Sfaval Attache Undergoes a. Cross Examination. BERLIN, May 30. Lieutenant-Commander Templin M, Potts, U. S. N., who is to succeed Commander William H. Behler as naval attache of the United States October 1 next, was presented to Emperor "William today In the court-yard of the Castle. Lieutenant-Commander Potts, who was In uniform, was directed to wait until His Majesty returned from the Srrlng parade of the Berlin and Pots dam garrisons on the Tetaplehof Field, and then, after the ceremony of "troop ing the colors," Captain von Grumme presented the Lieutenant-Commander to the Emperor, who was on horseback. "With the Lieutenant-Commander stand ing by the side of his horse. Emperor "William and the naval officer conversed for about 10 minutes, His Majesty ques tioning the future naval attache with great rapidity as to where, he was born, had he ever been in Germany before, whe-e be had served, etc., eliciting almost a complete autobiography of the naval officer. The Emperor finally said he was glad Lieutenant-Commander Potts had come to Berlin, and thus closed an infor mal audience MAAEUVERS AT TEMPELHOF. Annual Sprlnjr Parade of the Berlin District Garrisons. BERLIN, May 30. The annual spring parade of the garrisons of the Berlin mil itary district was held today on the Templefiof field. The Shah of Persia and the Crown Prince of Slam were present. Emperor William led the Second Regi ment of the Guards past the Shah, who acknowledged the compliment by standing up In his carriage. The parade was unusually interesting this year. Thirty thousand troops, twice the usual number, took part in It for the edification of the Shah, who divided with Emperor William the attentions of the crowd. The Templehof field, splashed with the red, blue, yellow and white of the different regiments, looked like a vast tulip bed, amid which sparkled countless points of light from bayonets, lanceheads, pelmets and cuirasses. Wirlesa Telegraph War. BERLIN, May 30 The rivalry between the Blaby-Arco and Braun. systems, of THE DEAL WITH1 5 WEEK -INCLUDES THE GOVERNORSHIP The conspiracy between the Police Department and the District Attorney, looking to support of the fusion ticket by the slums of Portland, has become so universally known and understood that all pretense at denial has been aban doned. Every voter knows exactly the effect of hfs action as to Mayor. It has been arranged that Mr. Inman is to re ceive the "wide open" vote, in return for concessions that are to be made the thieves, gamblers, rumshops, prosti tutes and pimps of the North End. Meanwhile vice holds high carnival In the various disreputable quarters of the city. There is no fight upon it by the police force, which Is "standing In" to elect Inman. There is no concern In the District Attorney's office, which is con cerned only in the success of the con spiracy. Ab to the reception of this nefarious undertaking, so far as It relates to the Mayoralty, there can be little doubt. The decent element of the community will vote for Judge Williams. It Is suf ficiently understood that the chief en gineer and promoter of the enterprise Is Aleck Sweek, who aspires to be the boss of the allied official and "wide open" alliance a sort of Richard Croker on a small scale. In whose hands Mr. Inman, so far as the regulation of vice Is concerned, will be easily controlled. The perpetration of this alliance will be sufficient noHce to the law and order wireless telegraphy has reached an inter esting stage. The Allgcmeine Elektrl cltaets Gesselleschaft, the owners pf the Slaby-Arso system, made a legal test of the Braun patents by bringing an action against the Slemens-Halske Company, arid today the court handed down a decision sustaining the Braun claims. It is be lieved this suit will go to the Supreme Court of the Empire at Lelpslc If this latter confirms the decision, the Braun system will be the only syntem of wire less telegraphy having rights in Germany. It is believed that such a decision by the Supreme Court would prepare the way for co-operation between the two sys tems, in which one would supplement the other. Spanish Politician Makes Trouble. PARIS, May 30. It is announced in a dispatch from Madrid that Senor Sabrlno Arana, leader of the BIscayan Nationalist party, sent a long cable message to Pres ident Roosevelt, congratulating him on the establishment of the republican gov ernment In Cuba, and that the Spanish censor suppressed the message. It is fur ther asserted that the Spanish govern ment ordered the prosecution of Senor Arana, and that President Roosevelt has "instructed the United States Legation at Madrid to ask for explanations." WASHINGTON, May 30. Official circles here are Ignorant of the matters stated in the Madrid dispatch to the Patrle. The President has not instructed our le gation at Madrid to ask for explanations of the reported course of the Spanish government toward Senor Arana; and. In fact, the administration Is without any Information concerning the alleged pur pose of Senor Arana to send a congratu I latory cablegram to the President and its frustration by the Spanish government. Successor to Corrljcrnn. ROME, May 30. The statement pub lished by the Dally Mall, of London, that at the consistory to he held June 9, the Pope will name Archbishop Keane, of Du buque, la., to succeed the late Archbishop Corrlgan, of New York, Is without foundation ln-fact. It appears now tb be extremely improbable that the Pope will depart from his customary practice of ap polnfing an Archbishop's successor from among the clergy of the diocese In which the vacancy occurs. It is expected that three candidates will be Bishop Charles McDonnell, of Brooklyn: Auxiliary Bishop John M. Farley, of New York, and either Vicar-General Joseph F. Mooney, or "Vicar-General Charles Colton, of New York. Potash Agreement in Germany. BERLIN, May 30.

Courtol, chief clerk of Madame Humbert's solicitor, has made a declaration before a Magistrate that the responsible author of the Humbert-Crawford swindle was Madame Humbert's father-in-law, who was at one time French Minister of Justice. According to M. Cour tol, M. Humbert dictated the contract of 1SS4, between the Crawfords and the Hum berts, which has served as a basis for all the subsequent legal proceedings. Threaten to Exterminate Foreigners. LONDON, May 3L The Shanghai corre spondent of the Dally Mail cables that the Boxers are active in the province of Szechwan. They have warned the officials of Yanghslen of their intention to exter minate the foreigners, and they have de stroyed the Catholic and Protestant churches, killed and robbed people, and are enrolling members in every village. Troops have been dispatched to suppress the rebellion. T IIlcks-Bcacu's Intentions. LONDON, May 30. There Is no truth In the report published In the United States that Chancellor of the Exchequer Slr Mlchael Hicks-Beach will resign after the coronation owing to the persistence of the Colonial Secretary, Joseph Cham berlain, in the retention of the grain taxes, preliminary to his zollvereln scheme. Austrian Iron Combine. VIENNA May 30. The formation of an Austrian Iron combine was completed to day.

Kins; Decorates Dukes. I vested the Duke of , Marlborough and th element of the city to defeat Inman and elect Williams, Portland Is not yet ready to be Tammanylzedv But the full duty of the voter does not stop with the Mayoralty. It ex tends to the head of the ticket. One of the principal beneficiaries of the deal, as he is also one of Its principal con tracting parties, is George E. Chamber lain, who -is thus employing the office of Public Prosecutor to raise himself to Governor. The words of warning re cently addressed by the New York Jour nal to District Attorney Jerome, of New Tork, are fitting here "No man ever raised himself to the Governor ship by the back door of the saloon." It becomes the duty of the intelligent and conscientious voter to set the seal of his disapproval uponi this miscon duct of the District Attorney. He has gone too far. He should be taught In unmistakable terms that there are things which even in good-fellowship cannot be forgiven. A good, clean man, with no entang ling alliances with vice and crime in any form Is offered the suffrages of the people by the Republican party for the office of Mayor and also for the office of Governor. The ballot is a solemn thing, and its exercise should be sol emnly discharged. Alone with his con science in the election booth, every self respecting man should mark his ballot for George H. Williams and William J. Furnish. Duke of Bedford with the insignia of the Order of the Garter at Buckingham Pal ace this afternoon. The ceremony was more imposing than any similar events which had occurred for years. It being the King's intention to revive all the old tlnv pomp which formerly distinguished the ceremonies connected with this order. A notable company of Knights of the Garter, Including the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Connaught, the Marquis of Salis burj't tho Marquis of Londonderry and the Duke of Norfolk, attended.

Y., May 30 The closing session of the conference on in ternational arbitration was held tonight. The platform adopted says: "We look forward hopefully to the time when self-interest. In addition to the im perative cense of duty, will compel all nations to submit their controversies to the arbitrament of The Hague court. All our hopes will, however, prove illusory unless systematic, comprehensive and earnest work is done In educating and de veloping an enlightened, public sentiment and opinion which shall' both demand and support it. To this end we call upon all schools front the primaries to the univer sities; upon the press, the pulpit, boards of trade and commerce, merchants associa tions, trade leagues and all other organiza tions; upon all employers and employed, and upon all men everywhere to co-operate In creating a universal sentiment in tfavor of the judicial settlement of con troversies. "We, believe in the unity of the human race and the brotherhood of mankind, and that, being of kin, the spirit of kind ness and of justice should be and some day will be universal, recognizing no dis tinctions of class or race or nationality. In this spirit and in obedience to this law we seek the adoption of the judicial method of settling international disputes, in order that the ends of justice may be attained and suffering and burdens be avoided. "Arbitration and appeals to courts of justice 'Bra the only rational methods of settling disputes between individuals or nations which fail of direct settlement." IN- PAUNCEFOTE'S PUCE HON. MICHAEL HEXRY HERBERT MAY BE A3IBASSADOR. Pfovr Secretary to the British Em- 1 A W bassy at Paris His Official Career. LONDON. May 30. Hon. Michael Henry Herbert, who is nominally Secretary to the British Embassy at Paris, will prob ably be the next British Ambassador to the United States, in succession to the late Lord Pauncefote. Mr. Herbert's ap pointment will probably not be announced until the Temalns of Lord Pauncefote ar rive In England. Tho only question in regard to Mr. Her bert's eelectlon Is the approval of King Edward. The Associated Press under stands that His Majesty is taking a keen personal Interest in the matter of Lord Pauncefote'e successor, but he will not bo asked officially to confirm or disap prove the candidate of the Foreign Office until the period of time during which the government pays respect to the late Lord Pauncefote haft elapsed. While there Is no reason to believe that King Edward will object to Mr. Herbert, who has the official backing of both Eng lish and American diplomats, there must always remain an element of doubt In the matter until the suggested apppint ment receives the royal sanction, and es pecially In view of the acute attention which His Majesty has given to this im portant promotion. The determination to eelect Mr. Herbert as Ambassador to the United States was reached after many consultations with those who are best fitted to Voice ah opinion In the matter. While nominally Secretary to the British Embassy at Paris, Mr. Herbert was really Minister Plenipotentiary to France, and as such he frequently acted in most important caees in the absence of Sir Edmond J, Monson, Great Britain's Ambassador there. Mr. Herbert's marriage with Leila, daughter of Richard T. Wilson, of New York, as a result of which he became closely related to the Vanderbilts, the Og den Goclets and the Astors, will not In any way Interfere, according to opinion here, with his usefulness as Great Brit ain's Ambassador at Washington. Mr. Herbert's record at Washington as Charge d'Affaircs in 1SSS and 1SS9, and as Secretary to the British Legation there in 1S92 and 1S93, and his work as British agent on the 'Venezuelan Commission, eminently fit him. so official, belief in clines, for his proposed new and important duties.

May SO, as being the most suitable to make a military display On the other hand, for eign stations will celebrate it November 9, the actual anniversary of his birth. General interest In the celebration was apparently not seriously diminished by the expectations of greater series of events surrounding the coronation. The towns throughout the kingdom were gaily dec orated and the shipping at the various ports made the gayest display of bunt ing. The day was observed at all the home military and naval headquarters with parades and salutes. The chief cele bration was the ceremony of "trooping the colors' on the Horse Guards parade here, and the presentation of colors to the new Irish Guards. Stands covered with crimson cloth were erected on three sides of the parade grounds, and were oc cupied by thousands of privileged spec tators. Including the United States Am bassador, Joseph H. Choate, and Mrs. Choate, and the Secretary of the United States Embassy, Henry White. Thou sands of other persons were grouped closely around the lines of sentries. The troops taking part In the ceremonies were battalions of the Civil Guards, Grenadier Guards.

Lord Roberts, the' Commander-in-Chief of the forces who led the pro cession, also wore the uniform of Colonel of the Irish Guards. Queen Alexandra and other members of the royal family viewed the scene from the windows of the Horse Guards. The crowds present bared their heads while His Majesty proceeded to the saluting point. After an Inspection of the ljne of .troops and the presentation of the colors, tho ceremonies ended with a review of all the troops on the ground. The King, dur ing the afternoon, presented colors to the King's Company of the Grenadier Guards. The weather was wet and raw. - Social London had a busy night to night.
