NO ARMOR FACTOR!.
AMERICAN
London, May 12—The Boers eeem to
be on the eve of playing their last card
and according to many keen observers
in England it is being played, not in
South Africa but in the United States,
throngh the medium of Boer delegatee-
who sailed for New York from Rotter,
dam last week. As the bulk of British
opinion does not oontemplate for a mo-
ment Fisoher and his companions will
achieve snooess, it is only natural the
serious thought is now confidently pro
orastiuating the date when the Trans-
vaal will be ended, most of the esti-
mates agreeing hostilities will cease by
Jane, when President Kruger learns
the last country is appealed to,
namely the United States, will
afford no help and has no alternative
in the face of the overwhelming force
now victoriously sweeping into his ter-
ritory, but to sue for peace. What
Great Britain’s answer to that request
will be was unmistakably defined by
Chamberlain, secretary of state for the
colonies, at Birmingham yesterday,
when he delared the Boer republics
must become a crown colony, whose
initial state organization will be con-
trolled by military administration. By
agreeing to these terms President Krn-
ger must, of course, give np all for which
he has been fighting. But, on the other
hand, now that the terms have been so
emphatically ennnoiated, they must
either be granted or England will stand
defeated. The latter alternative, how-
ever, does not enter into England’s cat-
egory of possibilities. Her people firm
The Proposition Wan Defeated by a Small
Majority.
Washington, May 12—In the sen-
ate, daring consideration of the naval
appropriation bill, Chandler, of New
Hampshire, made the following state-
ment:
"I am prepared to show that the Har-
vey patentwas a fraud imposed nponjthe
patent office andmpon the government
by*a subterfuge,if not absolute dishon-
esty. When the government refused to
pay more than $300 a ton for the Har-
vey armor, the combined armor uianu-
faotnrers of the world endeavored to
obtain by subterfuge or by injustice an-
other armor. I do not believe the
Krupp armor they offered us has any
merit whatever, except it is hardened
deeper than the Harvey izsd armor by
the well known means of hardening
steel by means of oarbonization. There
is no secret about it worth a dollar in
any court.”
In the course of a speech, Spooner of
Wisconsin, challenged the statement of
Lodge that Germany was threatening
the Monroe doctrine. He said he had it
on the highest authority that there was
never a time when more cordial rela-
tions existed between the United States
and Germany than today.
The proposition to establish an armor
plant was defeated by 22 to 24

Paris, May 12—The American pavil-
ion at the exposition was formally
turned over to the authorities and pub
lio this afternoon. The inauguration
took place in the presence of the embas-
sy and consulate officials. A number
of high French fnnetionaries, foreign
diplomats and commissioners and such
a concourse of American citizens that
many who were provided with tickets
were unable to gain admittance to the
building.
French municipal guards and police
formed a cordon around the building
keeping the space in front of the main
entrance on the bank of the Seine free
for the passage of the official party.
The crowd assembled mainly on the
terrace around the building facing the
river, on which a special platform had
been erected for the Sousa band. Be-
fore the hoar set for the oeremony the
crowd became so dense orders were
given to the police to keep the people
at a respectful distance from the doors.
The French officers adhered so strictly
to 'the letter of their instructions that
even persons who held invitation tiokets
were not allowed to pass. Considerable
confusion resulted from this cause, and
the United States ambassador, General
Horace Porter, with his party found
their passage barred, nntil an official
perceiving him from the building,hast
ened to meet him. and the ambassador's
party scrambled through.
Tbe arrangements for handling the
crowd were very unsatisfactory and
many gave up in their effort to enter.
The interior of the pavilien was bright
ly decorated with American flags and
tri color bunting, while from the sum

earlier, peace and occupation.
Such is the average forecast of the
struggle in South Afrioa. May be it is
too optimistic, but tbe present successes
of British arms and the evidence of
their well defined plans and excellent
organization forms mnoh excuse for op-
timism.
In comparison with what 200,000 Bri
tish troops have been doing in South
Afrioa during the week, the events of
England itself perhaps are important.
Yet they teem with humane interest
and internal importance. The first and
foremost is the question of the Austral-
ian confederation. Delegates from this
great colony are ceaselessly speaking
pleasant words to London audiences
through the luxnrous medium of pnb
tio dinners and lnnoheons, to say noth-
ing of oopioua press interviews, but
meanwhile fighting oolonial sec-
retary, Chamberlain, is tooth and nail
in the endeavor to maintain Anstrallas
objection to having the English privy
counsel as a final court of appeal
for local oases. No compromise
has yet been reached and
Chamberlain will shortly introduce
the subject of federation in the house of
commons advocating the bill be passed
as forwarded to Australia, with the
exception of an amendment granting
the privy oonncil the power mentioned
above.

gle flew the stars and stripes and the
French flag. The balconies were occu-
pied exclusively by invited guests,
while on the floor of the building e
doable line of Amerioan guards with
white summer helmets formed an
aisle through which the official party
passed from the main entrance to the
spot where the presentation took place.
Behind these guards the Americans
who gained admission stood and wit -
□essed the proceeding.
The ceremony of transferring the pa -
vilion was quite and simple, consisting
of an address by Fred W. Peck, com-
missioner of the United States, handing
over the pavilion to M. Alfred Pickard
as -the head of the exposition, and the
latter’s response accepting the pavilion.
Sousa s band provided music and the
selections played were composed solely
of Amerioan airs exoept for the "Mar-
sellaise.”

pected the contest would be very close-
