BIG WAR SUPPLIES.
British Concerned Over the
Transvaal’s Armament.

 

 

LISTING PEACE lS“ ENDANGERED.

 

'A‘ Local Paper Thinks That the
Transvaal Government lVould
Back Down if It Could Do"

So With Dignity.

CAPE TOWN, Aug. 25.—The Dela-
goa bay incident, coupled with the re-

cent transit of a large amount of am-'

munition, has directed the attention of

. the British officials to the. immense ac-

cumulation of munitions of war in the
South African republics, especially in
the Transvaal. ,

The uitlanders, being debarred from
carrying arms, the supply of weapons,
as shown in Lourenco Marques (Dela-
goa bay) returns for three years, is
greatly in excess of the burghers’ re-
quirements, and consequentlythcre is a
growing feeling among the British com-
munity in South Africa that no settle-
ment of the existing crisis will insure
lasting peace unless it includes a pro-
vision tor the reduction of armaments.

The Barbertdn News claims to have
information regarding the intention of
France and Germany to interfere, with

a view of participating in the proposed

inquiry and that the Transvaal govern-
ment entertained their demands regard-
ing the dynamite contracts, hoping to
make it an international question.

According to this authority, when the
volksraad’s commission reported against
the cancellation of the contracts, the
French and German consuls communi-
cated with Paris and Berlin in order to
ascertain if their governments would
support‘the request of their subjects and
would ake steps to secure oflicial rep-
resentation on the commission of i‘h-
quiry. No replies were vouchsafed,
which was regarded as equivalent to re—
fusal, and the hoped for countenance of
the French and German governments is
thus withheld;

The Transvaal government, it is as-
serted by the Barberton News, desires
an opportunity to'climb down without
offending the amour propre of the
burghers, but if no opportunity is af—
forded then war will not be shirked.

A dispatch from Bulawayo says that
a Dutchman named Petrus Vilgoen was
charged there yesterday before a local
magistrate upon a warrant signed by the
British high commissioner, Sir Alfred
Milner, with inciting the natives of
Bechuanaland to rebel against the Brit-
ish authorities. Vilgoen was remanded.

Sending Munitions to South Africa.

LONDON, Aug. 25.—A special maga—
zine has been constructed in the steamer
Umvoti, which leaves the Thames today,
for the conveyance of ammunition and
stores to Natal. The consignment in-

.cludes a million rounds of machine gun

cartridges, :1 thousand saddletrees and a
hundred tons of general military stores.

Great Britain May Compromise.

LONDON, Aug. 25.—The Johannesburg
correspondent of The Morning Post says:
“The general impression, both here and
in Pretoria, is that Gi'eat Britain is pre—
paring to accept the proposed compro-
mise.”

Still More Voluntee'i's.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.——Ordcrs for
the‘enlistment of more volunteer regi-
ments will be issued soo by the war
department. The (juotao 35,000 enlist-

.ed men for the volunteer army authoriz-

ed by corgress has een nearly exhaust-
ed, and only four regiments can be ob’-
tained from the remainder, nearly 5,000
men. At least one of the new volunteer
regiments will be composed of negroes.
Black soldiers have given such good ser-
vice that there is now no fear that they
will prove unsatisfactory if placed under
oificers of the regular army. Whether
the military authorities will organize
more than two new regiments of volun-
teers cannot be ascertained, but it was
said at the department that the question
of whether it is advisable to enlist more
than one negro regiment was under con-
sideration.

Consul Bedloe Accused.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.—Dr. Ed-
ward Bedloe of Pennsylvania, United
States consul at Canton, China, has been
suspended from his consular duties and
is now on his way home to answer seri-
ous charges. One of 'the allegations
against Dr. Bedloe is that be granted
an American register to ‘a steamer en-
gaged in carrying arms to the Philippine

‘insurgents, and it is said that it has been

represented to the state department that
in taking this action the consul was
aware of the suspicious character of the
steamer. Involved in the case are other
matters which, it is believed, will operate
against the return of Dr. Bedloe to Can-
ton in an oficial capacity, even if 'he is
cleared of the charges in connection with
granting the register to the filibuster.

 

Lightship Ashore. -
WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-——Captain

.Perry of the life saving bureauhas re-

ceived information that the Diamond
Shoals lightship at Cape Hatteras, which
was torn from her moorings and drifted
ashore during the recent hurricane, is
high and dry on the coast near Creed's

life saving station. The lighthouse tender, ‘
Maple, dispatched to her relief, was una’}: ‘

able to get her off, and Captain‘Perry is
making arrangements with a wreckin
company. He thinks she can be float

unless a southeast gale should sweep ”if:

coast.

dryhouse of Samuel Debbie’s powder
mill, near Sheppton, this county, was
completely wrecked by an explosion.

PENNSYLVANIA REPUBLICANS.

Nominations nt the State Convention
at Harrisburg.

HARRISBURG, Aug. 25.—Republic-
an state convention opened in Harris-
burg Opera House and nominated Colo-
ncl James E. Barnett of the Tenth Penn-
sylvania regiment for state treasurer, J.
Hay Brown of Lancaster for supreme
court judge and Josiah It. Adams of
Philadelphia for superior court judge.
The nomination for supreme court judge
is equivalent to an election by reason of
two vacancies in the court, and no elector
being entitled to vote for more than one
person.

The platform indorses the administra-
tions of President McKinley and Gov-
ernor Stone, commends the executive for
his appointment of Colonel Quay to the
United States senate and pledges the
party to a reduction in the expenditures
of the departments of the state govern-
ment. ‘

A feature of the convention was the
presence ot‘ Senator Quay as a delegate
from Beaver county and the absence of
Senator 0.. L. Magoo of Pitt'sburg, who is
convalescin from a severe illness. Mr.
Magee has een chairman of the Allegha-
ny delegation for many years. Senator
David Martin was also missing from his
accustomed place in the Philadelphia (1
egation. In his place as the leader of
I‘hiladelphians was Insuranc Comm;-
sioner Isr 91 W. Durham. Senator Peli-
rose and ongrcssman Bingham entered
the ccnvention hell together 'and were
greeted with applause.

As one of our conntrywomen was

that lead from the house to the gar-
den, at the American embassy, she that
three or four young attaches of for
eign legations, who were entire stran-
gers to her, says the St. Louis Globe-
Democrat. Their politeness induced
them to stand aside for her to pass,
but their courtesy did not prevent their
making audible personal comments.
They seemed to take it for granted
that French was an unknown tongue to
Americans.

“Look at her yellow dress; it’s very
pretty," said No. 1. »

“Yes, but she has on white gloves,”
announced No. 2.
' ' “She has good teeth," said No. 3.
. “And an enormous mouth,” added
No. 4.‘ ‘
| “And she understands French per-
ffectly,” said the amend the enormous
imouth, turning suddenly upon them,
“and would like to say that her ears
are even bigger than her mouth.” This

The men had just enough presence 09

Surgical Operations on me'smmoh.

In a recent lecture Dr. 'Stendel, of
Heidelberg, gave an account of a series
of 290 operations on the stomach per-
formed by l’rof. Czerny during the last
eight years. The average death rate
was 24.8 per cent. In the first year it
was 45 per cent, but decereased to 16

The Famous Old Town Clock in
Rouen Has Kept Time for
510 Years.

 

Rouen, one of the principal cities of
France, and the greatest seat of its cot-
ton manufacture, possesses the oldest
public clock in the world. The great
'Rouen clock has held its place in that
city for 510 vears and is the pride of its
citizens. Placed in 1389, it has been
running without interruption from
that day to this, requiring nothing ex-
cept cleaning and a few trifling repairs
of its accessory parts. The great clock
had so accustomed the citizens to look
upon its exactitude as a matter of
course that when, in 1572, the breaking
,of a. wire prevented its sounding five
o’clock one morning, the population
was in a state of consternation. '

The magistrates summoned the cus»
todian—Guillaume Petit—and remon—
strated gravely with him.- Unti11712
the great clock had no pendulum. For
323 years it had no other regulator than
a “foliot,” an apparatus unknown to
the majority of modern clockmakers.
The pendulum in clockwork was intro-

, 'duced in 1650, but so well satisfied were

the people of Rotten With-“the time

keeping qualities of their famous old

clock that 53 years were allowed to pass
before a pendulum was substituted for
the “foliot.” Equipped with this new
apparatus" it has continued to this day
to strike the hours and chime the quar-
ters.

Growth of Life insurance.

In ten years American life insurance
companies have doubled their assets,
the amount rising from $657,128,642 in
1888 to $344,901,198 in 1898. The in-
crease has been decidedly the greatest
since prosperity returned in the coun-
try.
