and If thy are beaten no excuw-s can
be offered on' the strength of lack of
condition. No o'dd- nts of any kind
have overtuk' ti the American., In which
th.y have W-en particularly fortunate.
Kven the change of ulr and diet had no
deterrent eff''t.
Tho shell, which wm received after

found to lx' slightly Injured, a few

thee wer repaired In a short while.
D-mpey ha. hid much opportunity
to observe the other crvws which ar
now on the Heine, and sern. more than
ever plea-d with the American'

rior to the old going crews.
Tho crew representing Germany has
iirilved her. The Swiss, Austrian,

been choH-n from the three chief unl-

The f'rst beat of th elght-oared shell

the finals will take place on Sunday.
One thing that has caused consider

of one tmtl n. the Vespers are the pick
of but one single American boat club.

New Phase of the Mill Strikes at San
Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 24. The
Building Trades Council, representing
twenty-eight trade organizations, has
ordered a general boycott of all goods
turned out by the nine-hour planing

that under no circumstances would they
consent to arbitration or accede to the

ordering the trade unions to refuse to

adopted by a unanimous vote of the
council.

"Pretoria, Aug. 23. Baden-Powell

NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-A dispatch to
th Tribune from London says:
The government has published a num
ber of confidential letters from promi
nent politicians In England and at the
Cape to Presld?nt Steyn and members
if the Transvaal and Free State gov
ernments. The correspondence Includes
letters from Dr. Clark. M. P. and John
E11K M. P. In addition to those of
Henry Labouche're. which latter have
already been printed In Truth.
But the most Interesting documents
In the collection are letters from Sir
Henry De Vllliers, chief Justice of the
Cape Colony and Mr. Merriman who
was lately In the Cape cabinet and la
now leader of his party in the colony,
which sympathiie with the republic
strongly. As both writers supported
the Afrlkaidf?r case they were most
emphatic 'n urging President Kruger,
during the months preceding the out
break of hostilities, to grant reasonable
concessions to th ultlanders. De Vll
liers. who was one of the commissioners
to sign the convention of 1S81, goes so
far as to declare that he would never
hav? advised the British government
to grant the Independence of the Trans
vaal If he could have foreseen Kru
ger's narrow. ollar.;h'jl policy. Mr.
Marrlman writes in the same strain.
He directly warns the president that
continued denial of political rights to
the ultland?rs must provoke an ex
plosion, and draws a vivid picture of
the evils which the reactionary atti
tude of the dominant party in the
Transvaal was bringing upon the coun
try. The whole correspondence will
doubtless supply material in the com
Irg general election to ministerial
speakers who will maintain that by the
admission of the .Transvaal advocates
themselves war was Inevitable unlesa
Mr. Kruger altered his system.
