Mr. Montague White, consul gener- al of the South African Republic in London. informed the Associated Press this afternoon that the Transvaal and the Orange Free State agreed some days ago to present a joint demand to Great Britain to withdraw her troops from the frontier; but he asserts that he advised against its presentation. and so far as he knows the demand has never reached the British foreign of- cc.

Consider- ing. however. the manner in which their five year franchise propoaals were rejected, after the government had ev- ery reason to believe that these would have been accepted. considering also the abandonment of the joint commis- sion proposed by Great Britain. as well as the declaration that the British gov- ernment regards all former proposals as abandoned and are formulating fresh proposals. the government of the South African Republic do not feel at liberty themselves to reformulate the rejected proposals. “If the desire for pace be earnest and ainierc. an excellent opening is af- forded by the Transvaal's acceptance of the joint commission. a proposition emanating from the. British govern- ment. which, it carried out. would un- doubtedly bring a satisfactory and honorable settlement. A London news agency publishes the following despatch from Volkerust.

The British foreign once at 5 o'clock this afternoon. assilred the Associatcd Press that absolutely nothing was known there of any Transvaal demand for the withdrawal of the British troops from the frontier.

The subject under consideration was the government's South African policy; and the meeting resolved to support the government on the reassembling of parliament, even at the expense of placing the present ofllciul leaders of the Liberal party in conflict with their former colleagues, Sir William Vernon- Harcourt and Mr. John Morley.
