KRUGER’WNTALK.

A Significant Statement From the
Transvaal President.

SUZERAIN TY NOT ADMITTED

“Oom Paul’s" \Vords Cause Grave Concern
In England — The Incident \Vhich
Brought Them Out —- The Bar-
court and Chamberlain Spat.

Pretoria, Aug. 26.——At a meeting of
the volksraad today President Kruger
delivered a speech which is likely to
cause the greatest excitement in Great
Britain. During the course of his re-
marks hesaid that the relations be-
tween Great Britain and the South Afri-
can Repu- c we‘re regulated at the con-
vention of'1884; that in the convention
of November; 1881, a reference to the
suzerainty f Great Britain did appear,
but that in‘the next convention, that
of 1884, not a single word appeared
bearing precisely upon that point, and
since then the suzerainty had ceased
to exist. _

This, he continued, did'not do away
with the fact that the South African
Republic and the whole nation recog-
nized the convention and would en-

 

PRESIDENT KRUGER.

deavor to maintain it entirely, but they
could not recognize the suzerainty of
Great Britain, because it was entirely
opposed to that convention. They wish-

' ed to maintain friendly relations with

the whole world, and in this way race
hatred would gradually disappear.
Wherever love dwelt, said the president
in conclusion, the blessing of God would
follow.

President Kruger’s remarks were
greeted with the loudest applause from
all present. ‘

 

A Significant Reply.

These utterances of President Kruger
are a reply to the British secretary of
state for the colonies, Mr. Joseph Cham-
berlain, who maintained recently in a
speech that Great Britain exercised su-
zerain rights over the South African Re-
public. His attitude on this subject led
to a violent debate in the house of com-
mons on April 29 last, after the presen-
tation of the budget by the chancellor
of the exchequer, Sir Michael Hicks-
Beach. One of the items asked for by
the government wAs'an appropriation
of $1,000,000 to “make a material in-
crease in the imperial garrison in South
Africa.” .

Sir William Vernon Harcourt, the
Liberal leader, opposed the grant, say-
ing that the sum asked for was for a
war policy in South Africa, which the
Opposition was determined to resist.
Mr. Chamberlain denounced these re-
marks as being “pernicious, dangerous
and unpatriotic," whereupon Sir Wil-
liam Harcourt accused Mr. Chamberlain
of trying to arouse a war feeling and of
using in all his recent statements “ex-
asperating language calculated to ex-
cite feelings of racial hatred in South
Africa,” adding that Mr. Chamberlain’s
policy had been defeated by the good
sense and feeling of the people of Cape
Colony, pointing to the adoption of a
conciliatory motion in the parliament
of Cape Colony as being a'condemnation
of this war policy.

Chamberlain’s Retort.

Mr. Chamberlain, in reply, asserted
that Sir William Harcourt’s statements

‘ on the subject of the conciliatory motion

showing that the government's policy
had been rejected by the government
and people of Cape Colony were abso-
lutely inaccurate. The policy of the‘
British ghvernment, he added, was to
maintain itsobligat-ions, not to engage
in any aggressiv’e‘operations, nor to at-
tack the independence of a friendly
state, but “to maintain our own'rights
andthe rights of the nation.”
Continuing, Mr. Chamberlain said: "I
had hoped that our policy would'contln-
no to be nonpartisan, but that hope has,
disappeared in the face, of Sir William
Harcourt’s speech, and I now challenge
him to raise the issue. Are the opposi-

tion prepared to take issue with us when

we say that while we intend to observe
our own obligations we intend that oblil
gations toward us shall also be main-
tained? The question between us and
the Transvaal is not interference in the
internal affairs of the Transvaal, nor an
attack upon the London convention up-
on our part, but breaches of the conven-
tion upon the part of the Transvaal,’and

’ we are calling upon them in friendly

terms to give us satisfaction.

;“VVe asked for £200,000 when every-
body knows that the Transvaal is ask-
ing for a million and for hundreds and
The Transvaal
has been arming to an extent absolutely
unjustifiable by an ordinary policy of
defense. We have not complained, but
the present
armaments of the Transvaal are alto-
gether disproportionate to the defensive

. resources of Cape Colony, and the Trans-

vaal’s armaments, after expending con-
siderably ov‘er £1,000,000 upon them, are

'rs'tillgomg on. Batteries of artillery and
‘vmhigim"gguns, millions and millions of
, cartridges and hundreds of thousands of

*rllileshave been imported into the Trans-

V ‘ V8.31; ’

“I do not believe there is a feeling to
repudiate the policy of the government.

l

‘ish government is represented by a dip-

.Saledon, a Norwegian craft that traded

On the contrary, I believe the feeling
of every loyal British subject at the
Cape to be one of gratitude and satis~
faction with her majesty’s government.
I understand that they recognize their
position as the representatives of the
paramount power in South Africa and
are determined, in the often used
words, to maintain the integrity of all
our rights under the convention.”

There was a. tremendous outburst of
cheering upon the part of the Conserv-
atives at the conclusion of Mr. Cham-
berlain’s remarks.

The Transvaal's Status. .

The Statesman’s Year Book for 1897
outlines the constitution and govern-
ment of the South African Republic as
follows: - .'

“The South African Republic, also
known as the Transvaal, was origi-
nally formed by part of the Boers, who
left Cape Colony in 1835 for Natal, but
quitted that colony on its annexation
to the British crown. In 1852 the inde-
pendence of the Transvaal was recog-
nized by the British government. The
.constitution of the state, based on, the
‘thirty-three articlesfi' was passed May
23, 1849, and the ‘grondwet’ or funda-
mental law on Feb. 13, 1858.

“On April 12, 1877, the Transvaal'was
annexed by the British government,
against which, in December, 1880, the
Boers took up arms, and a treaty of
peace was signed March 21, 1881. Ac—
cording to the convention ratified by
the volksraad, Oct. 26, 1881, self govern-
ment was restored to the Transvaal so
far as regards internal affairs, the con—
trol and. management of external af-
fairs being reserved to her majesty as
suzerain. A British resident was ap-
pointed, with functions analogous to
those Of a consul general and charge
d’affaires. Another convention with
the government of Great Britain was
signed in London Feb. 27, 1884, ratified
by the volksraad Aug. 8, by which the
state is to be known as the South Afri-
can Republic, and,the British suzerain—
ty restricted to control of foreign rela-
tions. Instead of a resident, the Brit—

lomatic agent.
“The constitution has been frequently
amended down to September, 1895."

 

SAD TALE OF THE SEA.
—_J_
Terrible Experience of the Crew of the
Saledon on a Lonely Island.

New York, Aug. 26.—A sad tale of the
sea has just been recited over the cable
to the Maritime Exchange in this city,
thereby clearing up an ocean mystery

Of twelve months’ standing.
The unfortunate vessel was the bark

principally in the Pacific ocean.

On July 13, Of last year, the Saledon
sailed from Newcastle, N. S. W., for
Honolulu, with a full cargo of miscel-
laneous freight. She was under com-
mand of Captain Jaeger, and carried a
crew of about 20 men.

It appears that soon after the Saledon
left Newcastle a fearful storm assailed,
her, and continued to prevail ‘for several
days, increasing in fury and strength
each successive day. For some time the
oark battled successfully against the
storm, but after being racked and torn,
and almost ripped asunder, she gave up
the struggle and went to the bottom.
The crew had been warned of her dan-
ger, and during a temporary lull in the
gale managed to get the lifeboats over
the side and succeeded in escaping in
:hem. '

There were two boatloads of men,
and though they made every effort to
keep together they soon became sepa-
rated and were finally lost to each oth-
er. One boat, that containing Captain
laeger and the second mate and several
seamen, managed, after considerable
ielay, to reach Starbuck island, an iso-
Eated knoll in the Pacific, landing there
in August, 1896.

The other boat and its occupants
have never since been heard from, and
there is no reason to doubt that they
were lost.

The men on Starbuck island fared
badly from the day of their arrival
there. In their haste in leaving the
sinking Saledon they took with them
only enough provisions and water to
last a few days, and when these be-
came exhausted, they could find but
little with which to replace. them. Hun—
ger andpthirst soon attacked them, and
then sicknes sadded its terrors to their
predicament. In desperation Captain
Jaeger decided to abandon Starbuck
island and seek relief elsewhere. This
they found in a measure on Sophia is-
land, some distance away, but the rav-
ages of fever and hunger had made too
deep inroads on .the constitutions of
some of the men, and one by one they
dropped off. Captain Jaeger- was the
first to go, and scarcely had his body
been buried in the sand on the beach
before the mate followed.

Then the carpenter died, and the few
men left found themselves without a
leader.

'For a full year they remained on
lonely Sophia island, engaged in a des-
perate struggle for existence and only

occasionally seeing a sail that they--

could not summon to their aid. Final-
ly, about 10 days ago, their plight was
discovered by a passing vessel that im-
mediately went to their rescue and
landed them at Auckland, N. Z., on
Saturday last.

The men we‘re all in a terrible condi-
tion and told a most distressing story
of their experiences during their 12
months of exile.

 

Fell Into a Geyser.
. Lake Hotel, Yellowstone Park, Aug.
26.—George Ernshaw of Philadelphia,
while walking into one of .thepools'ln
the rear of the Fountain hotel tripped
on a stick and fell backward ‘finto one
of the bottomless boiling geysers; He
struck a‘ledge under five feet of water
and was slipping off its cone when he
grasped a pole overhanging the edge of
the pool and was rescued. He was bad-
ly scalded.

 

Big Candy Concerh Assigns.

Chicago, Aug. 26.:—_The M. E. Page
Confectionery company, one of the lar-
gest candy making concerns in the city,
made an assignment'io‘the Chicago Ti-
tle and Trust company today. Assets,
$100,000. Liabilities will not exceed $33,—
000. Difficulty in making collections is
said to'be the cause of the assignment.

 

Venturesome Sailors May Be Lost.

Port Townshend, Wash., Aug. 26.———No
word has been received of the two Nor-
wegians named Soelberg and Huland,
who left Ozette in a. small boat on Fri-
day, Aug. 13, to sail around Cape Flat-
tery and up the straits to this place. As
there were heavy winds about that
time, it is feared that the men are lost.
