JQl-IANNESBURG news ALARMING.
The Boers Are Dlscontented and Serious
Trouble is Feared.
London, Dec. ’30.—A disquieting sit-
uation is developing at Johannesburg.
According to the latest advices from
there the place is seething with dis-
content, as on the eve of the Jamison
posed government measures which the
Uitlanders regard as being a fresh se—
ries of impositions. ‘
In addition, racial animosity is in-
tensifying at the vexatious treatment
of the British Indian and Cape “boys,"
which is rousing much bitterness.
There was a serious development
last week, when a Boer policeman
murdered an Englishman named Ed-
gar, entering the latter‘s house and
shooting him.
The. policeman was arrested on the
charge of murder, but on the follow-
ing day the charge was reduced to
one of manslaughter and the police‘
man was allowed his liberty on bail.
The British agent demanded a res-
titution of the charge of murder and
a mass meeting which afltracted five
thousand Uitlanders was held at Jo-
hannesburg on Sunday to protest ag-
ainst the murder of Edgar and to
present the British consul a strongly
worded petition to the queen, reciting
the wrongs of the Uitlanders and ap-
pealing, for protection and such other
steps as may be found necessary to
“terminate the existing intolerable
state of affairs." .
There were no speeches, owing to
the laws prohibiting political gather-
ings, but ‘the demonStration was very
impressive.
The petition was presented to the
consul on the balcony of the consulate,
the whole multitude signifying their
assent by raising their hands.
References to the Boer policeman
elicited shouts from the crowd “Lynch
him!”
The meeting, however, was peaceful,
with the exception of a slight affray
with the police authorities at its con-
clusion.
BOOM IN THE STEEL TRADE.
Unprecedented Foreign and Domestic
Demand.
New York, Dec. 30.—Advices from
all the iron and steel centers report
an extraordinary condition of activity
in the trade. Prices have been hard
to follow. .
Big orders have been arriving with
a rush for steel rails and all sorts of
steel products. These orders represent
not only domestic demand, but a de-
mand from various foreign countries.
Russia has just placed a big order
for steel rails, and Australia a two
million dollar contract for water
pipes.
Philadelphia dispatches yesterday
morning‘quoted pig Iron at from ten
to fifteen .cents a ton higher than a
week ago; steel billets at from twenty-
fiVe to fifty cents higher; steel scrap at
fifty cents higher, and bars and plates
at $1 a ton higher.
The urgent demand is the extraor-
dinary ,feature of the trade, the mills
and furnaces now being at work npon‘
more orders than -alt any time on rec-
ord. I - . .
Another heavy order for steel rails
is about to be' placed by the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company. This order
represents Contracts distributed among
several of the largest steel companies
for an aggregate of one hundred and
five thousand tons of steel rails. The
rails are to be delivered some time
next year. '
The companies which got slices of
the order, with the amount they con-
tract to deliver, are the following:
Cambria Steel COmpany, thirty thou-
sand tons; Pennsylvania Steel Com-
pany, thirty thousand tons; Carnegie
Company, thirty thousand tons; Fed-
eral Steel Company, ten thousand tons,
and the Lackawanna. Steel Company
five thousand tons. . ,
‘Another large order for rails is ex-
pected to be placed by the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company after the first
of the year.
Death from Hydropllobia.
Boston, Mass, Dec. 30.-—-Mrs. Lind—
say M. Emery of Melrose, who was
bitten by a mad dog on November 13,
(lied yesterday of hydrophobia, the
case being so diagnosed by Professor
Fitz of the Harvard Medical School
and other physicians.
Mrs. Emery was bitten by a mastiff.
Her condition, though senious, show-
ed improvement until a few days ago,
when symptoms of hysteria appeared.
In rescuing Mrs. Emery at the time
of the attack, three men were also hit-
ten and fears are entertained that they
may be similarly affected.
Chicago’s Freight Record.
Chicago, 111., Dec. 30.'—The year of
1898 has broken all records in the an)-
ount of dead freight shipped from
Chicago to the east.
The total for the year, the last week
of the month of December being esti-
mated, is 5,679,935 tons.
. The total for the entire twelve
months of 1897 was 3,395,300 tons.
