It is believed that the reply from Pretoria to Mr. Chamberlain's dispatch states tha the Transvaal Government is not unwilling to join in a conference to be held at Copetown - with the object of explaining the working of die franchise proposals.
Mr. Pakemann, one of the Uitlander leaders, has been arrested, and it is. said that 31r. Moneypenny, the Tinies correspondent, is "wanted" by the authorities.
Nevertheless the situation is regarded as more hopeful.

In view of the great need of money for arming and equipping a strong army for the protection of Peking, a number of high officials in the Eighteen Provinces of the Empire have arranged to take the lead in their respective provinces in contributing to a special armament fund, to which all-officials holding posts in the Imperial service, both Civil and military, are exhorted to give something. A Tientsin dispatch states that Ting Chicb (Manchu), Provincial Treasurer of Chikli, has headed the list of his province by contributing.Tls. 20,000, and that the other officials in Chibli have been asked to show their patriotism at as early a date as possible.-N.

THERE is an interesting story in a recent issue of the Age of Steel, which British manufacturers might read with advantage. A large manufac ring firm in the United States, says our trade contemporary, recetitly offered prizes in its employes for practical suggestions for improve- ments in machinery under their operation. The idea was, of course, that nobody would be so likely to detect defects or to see the passi- bility of improvement in machinery as the man who daily bandles it, but who, as a mere fac tory hand, has generally no stimulus to incite him to inventive observation. The result has been un-expectedly large. During the last half of last year over 8oo suggestions have been made, and over 250 of these have been lepted and adopted.
