PRETOrt-IA. 9opt. 19,-The reply ol the government of the South African republic to the latest dispatch, dated Sept. 12, of the British secretary ol state for the colonies, Joseph Cham berlain, was made public at the Trans vaal capital. In tone It was exceeding ly firm. It accuses Chamberlain ol sharp practice and blames on hjm tht continuance of the dispute. It de clares the adherence of the Transvaal to the agreement for a Joint coirTmls slon of inquiry and renews the offe.1 of a seven-years' franchise, denying . rrv PRESIDENT KBUOER. that five years' qualification for natur alization ever was offered. Most im portant of all, the note declares that any question touching the complete independence of the Transvaal cannot be presented to the volksraad. - The reply, however, concludes: "II her majesty's government Is willing and feels able to make this decision, a Joint commission as at first proposed by Mr. Chamberlain would put an end to the present state of tension. Race hatred would decrease and die out and the prosperity and welfare of the South African republic and the whole of South Africa will be developed and furthered and franternizatlon between the dif ferent nationalities will Increase." Meanwhile,' "work on the fortifica tions Is being pushed forward with In creased seal. During the past few months the fortifications, situated on a slight eminence about half a mile beyond the town, have been the scene of feverish activity. Burghers and the boys' brigade have been lndustiiously drilling along the slopes, and, omin ous sign, in the open spaces of Johan nesburg itself lied Cross wagons may occasionally be seen in readiness for emergencies. ' RECEIVED IN LONDON. . The ( Hl.hirt Will Meet anil Ilerlile the - Nt Step to He Tnken. LONDON, Sept. 19. The reply of the Transvaal government to Mr. Chamber lain's latest nolo is eminently of tht "negative and inconclusive" character, which Mr. Chamberlain declared would compel the Imperial government to con sider the situation afresh. It practi cally repudiates suzerainty, reverts to the seven-year franchise, and declines to give equality to the Dutch and English languages in the volksraad. In short, It (ls politely negative and de fiant. The full text may not be available for a day or two, but It will not change the aspect of affairs. The cabinet will probably meet on Wednesday or Thursday to consider the next step. War Is now considered to be very near. Significant Wonl On What lit Coining. LONDON. Sept. 19.

It Is said that as a rtsult of the forcible collection of taxes by the emissaries of the insur gents, who take all they have got, the natives are In a state of semi-starvation.

The agents of the insur gents endeavor to force the natives to Join their forces, which they will not do. The condition in the island, it Is asserted, Is rapidly approaching riot and anarchy as the heavy and continued drag upon them in the form of tribute exasperates them, and they, the letter says, threaten desper ate resistance it It continues.

The Pr a prints the following: "To the Republicans of the First Maine district: . "While I am naturally reluctant to obtrude myself again upon public at tention even here at home, I am sure no one would expect me to leave the First Maine district after so long a ser vice without some words expressing to you my appreciation of your friendship and my gratitude for your generous treatment. Words alone are quite In adequate and I must appeal to yout memories. During three and twent) years of political life, not always peaceful, you have never questioned a single public act of min'e. Other men have had to look after their -districts. My district, has looked after me. This, In the place, where I was born, where you know my shortcomings as well at I do myself, gives me a right to be propd of my relations with you. No honors are ever quite like those which come from home. "It would not be Just for me to with hold my thanks from those Democrats who have bo often given me their votea. This frelndship, I can acknowledge with all propriety even in a letter to Republicans for both they and you know that I have never trimmed a sail to catch the passing breeze or ever flown a doubtful flag. Office as a 'rib bon to stick In your coat' is worth no body's consideration. Office as oppor tunity le worth all consideration. That opportunity you have given me untram melled in the fullest and amplest meas ure and I return you sincerest thanks. If I have deserved any praise it' be longs of right to you.
