"Jefferson's clause against slavery was stricken from the original draft. It is doubtful I1' the draft could have been adopted without this elimination. It was the best, it was nil that could be done ut that line. What Jefferson more than n hundred years before at tempted to write in the constitution of our country, Abraham Lincoln aiter wards wrote in blood." Reference was made to the fact that In tht constitutional convention at Phil adelphia, Washington made but one speech.

X"v York, May 17. A special cable dispatch to Ihe Sun siVys: It is becominK more dear every day that the polity of the prer-ut I'.ritisll Kovei unit nt is to sok'." anl retain Africa at all bas.aiiis, while it sacrifices liritish interests in the far cast and other quar ti is where the pressure has become too Kie.it to resist. Tlie Idea seems to have taken Possession of a lartte class of F.iutlishmeti that Africa is to lie the scene of the next epoch ill lnima,n activ ity ami pioKi'' ss. India, China, Amer ica ami Australia are all played out. It is in Africa that the star of empire is lis in?. It is there that success and fur tune await all coiners and that the fu ture greatness of tlie race will record itself. It is this belief In the minds of Lord Salisbury, Mr. Chamberlain, and tlie humblest admirer of the Jameson free booters which has appuivnlly destroyed or distoiied tiie moral perceptions of tlie majority of KiiKlishnien with re Kard to the whole African situation. I said more than a week up that Cecil Hhoiles and other cnfisplratnrs against the Transvaal republic, would not be- punished for their detestable crime by the liritish Rovernnient. This has now become obvious to the dullest observer of the situation. It was a mistake, at any moment, to expect such virtue and Justice from a ministry which periiiit'.od the ruthless slaughter of a people whom it hail sworn to pro tect axaiiist the bloodthirsty sultan, l'olltics Is the excuse in both rases. "Wither considerations" and "the "kcii er.il welfare" are vajrue terms generally Used in Juslilieation of these vile smirches upon the fair record of KukIIsIi "honor." CAMl'AKiN FXDKltSTOOI). The liritish ciimpaien in Africa is now clearly uinjei stood in Kuropenii diplo matic circles. It Is almost fin open secret that before the dose of the year C.ivat Hrltain will take the place of Italy in Abyssinia, and will, of course, push the Soudan expedition. Some re ward w ill lie secured elsew here to Italy fur the hiss of the remnants of her In terests in Abyssinia. Men.) time plans for seciirlnir liritish control of the Transvaal, in one way or another, will be persisted In. Tile doak of decency will be thrown over these efforts as far as possible, but liothitii; will be permitted to check them except the irioslKtilih interference of some preat power. Few now believe that Mr. Chamberlain was as ignorant as he pre tends of the real nature or Mr. Khodcs' plot against tlie liner republic. Some friends of the Colonial Secretary say frankly that they prefer to believe hull culpably connizant of the situation rather than tlie fool which bis Ignor ance, down to the time of Fresident Kruger's publication of the incriminat ing telegrams, would show hitn to be. Ills attitude since then has not been that of a man who had been hoodwinked by nn arch conspirator whom he pro fesses to regard still as ladisis'iisable to liritish Interests in Snulh Africa, KliFHFK SFRAKS. Pretoria, May 17. In an interview re garding tlie ultimate fate of the mem heis of the Johannesburg reform com mittee now In jail here,' Ftvsident Kru ger said that nobody desired more than himself to expedite tlie decision ns to the final .sentences lhat would bo passed on the prisoners. A majority of them had on Friday petitioned the govern ment to lie allowed to pay increased lines instead of being Imprisoned for two years and be banished from the Transvaal. President Kruger added that he was in favor of this proposal. Tin- delay in deciding tlie matter arose from the diiR culty oi discriminating between tho signers of the petition and the others wlio had refused to sign it. Personally he wanted all the prisoners to be re leased. A. P. A. AT VASIIINGTON. Capitol City Will Be Permanent Head quarters of the Society Officers Elected on Saturday (Eveuins. Washington, May 17.
