MAY APPEAL TO ALL EUROPE The Uitlandcrs \Varned to Give Up Their Arms at Once—Cecil Rhodes In Dis- favor and His Brother Arrest- ed For High Treason. JonANNEsnune, Jan. 11.—TWenty-two members of the reform committee, in- cluding Colonel Rhodes, brother of Mr. Cecil Rhodes, ex—premier of Cape Colony; Sir Drummond Dunbar, Mr. Lionel Phil- lips and D. Sauer, were arrested at the club yesterday evening on the charge of high treason and were conveyed under es- cert to Pretoria. The Kaiser's Plans. LONDON, Jan. 10.—A dispatch from Berlin states that unless Great Britain sat- isfies the demands of President Kruger, which include the abrogation of the con- vention of 1884, by the terms of which England exercises suzerainty over the Transvaal republic, Germany will urge Kruger to appeal to the European powers to support him in his demands. A dispatch from Cape Town to The Pall Mall Gazette, under the date of Jan. 8, states that it is asserted there that Cecil Rhodes was aware of the whole plot which led up to and included Dr. J ameson’s raid into the Transvaal. Rhodes, the dispatch says, is ill at Cape Town.‘ , A dispatch from Pretoria states that the Transvaal government is greatly displeased at the sloWness of the uitlan’ders in deliv- ering up their arms. They are reported to have had in their possession 30,000 rifles, whereas only 2,000 have been handed over to the authorities. In consequence of this the government has issued a proclamation declaring that unless all the arms are delivered up imme- diately the defendants will be dealt with according to law. Those who comply with the. demands of the government will be pardoned, with the exception of the leaders of .the revolt, who will have to suffer the penalty of their acts. A dispatch from Pretoria dated Jan. 8 states that prior to the issuance of the Transvaal government’s proclamation commanding the uitlanders to deliver up their arms Sir J acobus- A. De Wet, the British agent at Pretoria, went to J chan- : nesburg to hasten the work of disarming the revolutionists. Boers Are Determined. A government commission was sitting at Johannesburg with the object of insur- ing the execution of the conditions of sur- render. Sir J. A. De Wet was to attend the sittings Of this commission and render it all the assistance possible. The dispatch adds that 10,000 Boers were under arms and would not return to their homes until the matter of disarming the uitlanders was finally settled. The government has received a cable- gram from Sir Hercules Robinson, govern- or of the Cape Colony, embodying Presi- dent Kruger’s reply to the message corp- municated to him by Mr. Chamberlain ex- pressing the satisfaction of the queen at President Kruger’s decision to turn over the British South Africa company prison-~ crs to officers of the imperial government. The reply is addressed to Governor Rob- inson, and is as, follows: “I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of the telegram received by your excellency from the secretary of state for the colonies requesting you, by command of her majestythe queen, to inform me of her message, in which her majesty ex- presses her satisfaction at my decision to hand over the prisoners to her majesty’s government. “As I have already informed your excel- lency, it is really my intention to act in this sense so that Jameson and the British subjects under his command may be pun- Ished by her majesty’s government. I will inform your excellency of my final decision in this matter as. soon as Johannesburg shall have reverted to quietness and order. “In the meantime I request your ex- cellency to assure the queen of my high appreciation of her words, and in proifer- ing her my respectful good wishes to ex- press my thanks for the same.” A Full Investigation. Mr. Chamberlain has cabled to Hof- meyr, the leader of the Afrikander bund,‘ a party having a large majority in the Cape parliament and a supporter of Cecil Rhodes and the British South Africa com- pany, informing him that there will be a full inquiry into the British South Africa company’s raid into the Transvaal, and '7 that further violation of the territory of the South African Republic will be we vented. , It is reported that the inquiry will conducted by a royal commission, which will investigate the origin , and circum- stances of the whole affair. It is reported that Dr. Jameson will be taken to Natal, where he will be embarked for England to be tried upon charges of violating the forei n enlistment act, which declares it a punis able offense to prepare a warlike expedition against a friendly state. _ The Maxim-Nordcnfcldt company, man- ufacturers of arms at Erith, on the Thames, has obtained permission from the British government to consign two truck- loads of small arms to Pretoria for the Transvaal government. The arms have already been shipped. A diSpatch from Cape Town, under the date of Jan. 8, states that Messrs. W. Z. Schreiner, crown advocate, and P, H, Fanre, colonial secretary, decline to co-op- crate with the new premier of Cape Colony, Sir J. Gordon Sprigg. The queen has addressed an autograph letter to Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, secre- tary of state for the colonies, thanking him for his services in connection with th disturbances in the Transvaal. - A Serious Complication. The mOSt ‘important aspect of the South African situation today is the credence lent in manyquarters, to a report that Great ~ Portugal. Britaih'has phi—chased Dél'agoa Esteem If this is the case, ‘it mayturri out to be the real cause for the assembling of the powerful British fleet which will be anchored off Portland on Tuesday. ‘In view of the reported demands of the gov- ernment of the Transvaal; among other things, that Great Britain forego her right to obtain possession of Delagoa bay, and that Germany may look upon England’s possession of it as a move which would so riously threaten the future of the Trans- vaal, confirmation of the report would add to the seriousness of the situation. Efforts are now making to obtain a confirmation or a denial of this report. There does not seem to be any change in the attitude of Germany toward Great Britain in regard to the Transvaal. The tone of backing down is still noticeable in the German press utterances, and great importance is attached to an article in the Hamburger Nachrichten, which is said to have been directly inspired by Prince Bis- marck, in which the paper indirectly dis- approves of the government’s‘attitudc, say- ing, “The duty of the government is more ' to defend the internal and external peace of the country against disturbances than to promote foreign enterprises.” The Times says: “The main point for England to remember is that in time of peace attempts have been made by an os- tensibly friendly power to induce another friendly power to depart from its neutral policy in order to facilitate an attack upon British interests in South Africa. Great Britain must also remember that unless the whole German demonstration at Lou- renco Marques is to bear the illusory and ridiculous character now assigned to it by the German press we must suppose that there was a more or less settled determina- tion to cross Portuguese territory, even in the face of a Portuguese refusal. ” The Globe this afternoon says it is sus pected in well informed quarters that a treaty was concluded in 1885 between Ger- many and the Transvaal, and that the pres- ent attitude of Emperor William toward Great Britain is based upon the provisions of this treaty. War Preparations In Canada. VICTORIA, B. (3.,- Jan. 11.——Great activ ity is being shown by the naval authorities at this station. The officers have been tak- ing a great deal of interest in the dis- patches regarding the tiff between Great Britain and Germany, and more ofi‘icial dispatches than usual have been going be- tween Admiral Stephenson and the ad- miralty office in London. It is stated that two large ships will come out to join the Pacific fleet besides one which is intended to relieve the Royal Arthur. Work on he] majesty’s ship Satellite, now in the Es- quimalt dock, is being rushed both night and day. ' The. Satellite met with an acci- dent in the south Pacific, and when she arrived here it was announced that she would be in the dock for Six weeks. All this has been changed now and the men at work on her say that she will be ready for service in a few days. Van Blokland Is Busy. AMSTERDAM, Jan. 11.—+Dr. Beelaerts Van Blokland, minister of the South Af- rican Republic to Germany, the Nether- lands and France, has gone to Paris to confer with the French government in re- gard to the situation in the Transvaal. ‘BAT SHEA MUST DIE. The Commission’s Report “’ill Refute hIcGough’s Confession. ALBANY, Jan. 11.—The report of the commission sent by Governor Morton to obtain a sworn statement from McGough, the Dannemora prisoner who alleges that it was he and not Shea who shot Robert Ross, it may be stated authoritatively, will form a complete refutation to the confession which McGough sent to the governor and which Shea’s counsel will take to the courts. This being the case, it is believed that the courts will refuse to grant a new trial. This will call for Shea’s electrocution on Feb. 4, when the govern- or’s respite, granted during the pendency of the investigation of the McGough sen- sation, will expire. . Messrs. Hitt and Norton, counsel for Shea, called at the executive chamber to- day and sought to obtain a glimpse at the report of the commission or at least to see the deposition of McGough which it con- tains. They urged that as counsel in the matter it was no more than right that they should be alloWed to know its con- tents. Governor. Morton, hOWever, re- fused, saying that as they were Shea’s ad~ visers and not McGough’s he could not permit it. The two gentlemen made no effort to conceal their anger as they left the chamber. ' ’ District Attorney Burlingame of A1- bany, who is the governor’s personal counv 561 in this matter, had a long conference with the executive today. He delivered the stenographic report of the commission oi inquiry and gave a long verbal account 01 the examination of McGough by that body. Governor Bradley’s Message. LOUISVILLE, Jan. 11.—Governor W. O. Bradley’s message to the general assembly of Kentucky was laid before the twc houses at Frankfort today. It contained about 12,000 words and dealt mostly with local state affairs and made recommenda- tions for retrenchment, reform and econ- omy in all departments. Victims of Escaping Gas.

CLEvELAND, Jan. 11.——The bessemer iron ore interests on the Mesaba, Vermil- ion, Gogebic, Menominee and Marquette ranges have combined to limit the output of the Lake Superior mining region and give the iron market in all its branches a stability which it has not enjoyed for years.

HILL scores” PRITGHAERD. The New York Senator Accuses North Carolinians of Inconsistency—Mr; ' lilorgan’s Remarkable Trans- vaal Joint 3050] ution. WASHINGTON, Jan. , 11.—,—During the morning hour in the senate, on motion, of Mr. Voorhces (Dem., Ind), a resolution was adopted appropriating $250 for the purchase of a portrait of the late Allen G. Thurman. . Mr; Pritchard (Rep, N. C.) called up the amendments he had offered to the rev- enue bill to increase the duties on certain kinds of clays, marble, iron ore, timber, live stock, cereals, fruits, wool and coal for the purpose of addressing the senate thereon. He favored the rc—cnactment of the McKinley law and the free coinage of silver. ‘ He denouncpd the southern Democrats for their recreancy to their own section. Their tariff law, he said, had brought un- exampled prosperity to the New England manufacturers and bankruptcy and ruin to the farmers and producers of the south. When Mr. Pritchard had finished, Mr. Hill (Dem., N. Y.) chided the former for the inconsistency of his state. North Caro— lina, he said, occupied a peculiar situation in congress, and he did not see how her people could be gratified. Some time ago the same legislature in Nortn Carolina had elected two senators by the same combina- tion. A few days ago one of them' (Mr. Butler) had denounced the Democratic party for being false to its pledges of tarifl reform. Today the other ‘end of the com- bination told the senate that he favored the re-enactment of the McKinley law. The senate, on Mr. Hale’s motion, then agreed to adjourn until Monday when the adjournment was taken today. ' Mr. White (Dem., Cal.) consumed the re- mainder of time before the expiration of the morning hour with a speech in favor of some practical modifications of the sen- ate rules. He did not mince words in his characterization of the rules and the “an- cient fictions” they perpetuated. The great evil which he especially inveighcd against was that which permit-ted interminable debate on anyquesticn and placed it in the power of a single senator to hold the sen- ate' at his mercy so long. At the conclusion of Mr. White’s speech Mr. Morgan (Dem., Ala), formerly chain man of the committee on foreign rela- tions, introduced a joint resolution con- gratulating the republic of Transvaal in Africa for the stand for liberty which it had taken and directing the president of the United States to transmit the action to the republic of TrunsvuaE. Mr. Jones (Dem., Ark.) then took the floor and made a speech or. the free coin- age substitute for the muse bond bill. The Morgan resolution was referred to the for- eign relations commit-tee. In the House. ‘In the house Mr. Tawney (Rep., Minn.) offered a resolution relating to pension claims. It recited that it was frequently charged by pensioners and applicants that the medical division of the pension bureau fails to properly regard the reports and findings in pension claims made by various boards of United States examining sur— geons and declared that it was due to the officials of the department, to pensioners and the public that the truth or falsity of the charges be made known. It called upon the secretary of the interior to fur- nish copies of the reports and findings by boards of examining surgeons, irrespective of locality, in the first 50 claims for original invalid pensions rejected on medical grounds after Nov. 1, 1891, after Sept. 1, 1893, and Oct. 1, 1895. An objection to its consideration was made by Mr. McClel— lan (Dem., N. Y.). Mr. Odell (Rep, N. Y.) offered a resolu- tion- to direct the committee on banking and currency to report an amendment to the general banking laws giving power to banking associations to invest not to exceed 50 per cent of their lawful reserves in bonds ‘ of the United States, to be hereafter issued under the acts of June 14, 1875, and May 31, 1878. When the rule giving to certain commit- tees leave to report to the house at any time was reached, it created a decided breeze. Mr. Walker (Rep, Mass), chair— man of the committee on banking and currency, asked why that committee, which had been allowed the same right in the last congress, had been omitted from the list while ten other committees were included, and offered an amendment to in- clude his committee. Mr. - Bailey (Dem., Tex.) said that it would be impossible for any financial measure to be brought forward without an amendment to the rules or the favor of the committee on rules and offered an amend- ment to Mr. Walker’s amendment adding the committee on coinage. It was lost. The Sugar Witness Case. WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.—The proceed- ings in the trial of the Chapman Sugar trust witness case were enlivened today by the production as a witness of Secretary and Treasurer John W. Scarles of the trust. The defense immediately objected to his testimony. The prosecution asked him questions as to name, etc., but when‘ questioned regarding other matters Scarles refused to testify. The Commission’s Meeting. ’ WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.—The Venezuelan boundary commission will meet in. the diplomatic room of the state department at 10 o’clock tomorrow for the purpose of perfecting its organization for business so far as possible at this time. The office of secretary is regarded as the most impor- tant one to be filled. Postmasters Appointed. WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.—The fourth class *postmasters appointed today were: ,' . Pennsylvania—Duckrun, Mrs. M. I. Marchell. ‘ Connecticut—Sterling, C. C. Barber. M . THE OLD-EST} OBELISK. It Stands on. the Banks of the Nile Not Far ’From-j Cairo. The oldest of all the obelisks is the beautiful one of rcjsy granite which stands alone amongvtjhe green fields-on the banks of the Nile not far from"- Cairo. It is the grayestone of a‘great city which has vanished and left only this relic behind. T—liat city was Beth- shemes of Scriptu‘r'e:.§',the~ famous On, which is memorable to all Bible readers as the residence of the priest of On, Potipherah, whose 'tfllaughter Asenath Joseph married. rte Greeks called it Heliopolis, the city (if the sun, because there the Worship of. the sun had its chief center and its most Sacred shrine. It was the seat. of thejmost ancient uni- versity in the world,tto which youthful students came from:é all parts of the World to learn the 0 _ult wisdom which the priests of Onialorfe could teach. Thales, Solon, Eudoxus, Pythagoras and Plato all studitd there; perhaps Moses too. It was alsb the birthplace of the sacred literature“; of Egypt, where were written on papyilus leaves the orig- inal ichapter of the eldest book in the world, generally knoijvn as “The Book .of the Dead,” giving? a most striking I account of the conflicts and triumphs of the life after death,_‘a whole copy or fragment of which evéryjzlgyptian, rich or poor, wished to . ave buried with him in his coffinkand‘ portions of which are found inscribed On every mummy case and on the walls 'of every tomb. In front of one of the principal temples of the sunin this magnificent city stood, along with a companion long since de- stroyed, the solitary 'belisk which we now behold on the sp t.' It alone has survived the wreck of; all the glory of the place. It was constructed by User- tesen I, who is supposed to have reigned 2800 B. 0., and has outlived all the dy— nastic changes, of tlfe land and still stands where it originally stood nearly 47 centuries ago. What appears of its shaft above ground is .68, feet in height, but its base is buried in the mud of the Nile, and year after yearthe inundation of the river deposits its film of ' soil around its foot and buries it still deeper in its sacred grave. —Pall Mall Gazette. LONDON’S GRSAT PARK. The Hum of‘the Metropolis Penctrates It “’ith Ever Varying Cadence. The greatest attractéon of Hyde park is one which Londoners and most visit- ors fail to discover and appreciate. It is a unique and subtle charm whose mean- ing only those can know who have fall~ on under its spell. Hyde park, be it re- membered, is the only great plot of verdure in the world set in the very center of a great city. Boston Common .is but a garden compared with it, Cen- tral park may soon be hemmed in by New York’s teeming millions, but not yet. Hyde park is a grateful refuge of silence in the midst of turmoil. Only upon its outer borders does the restless mob infringe. Within, awe, from Rot- ten row, away from carriage drive and fashionable promenade, there is always rest, tranquillity, silence—no, not si- lence, but in its place the thing which is the mysterious charm of the spot. Find a seat upon a bench in the midst of the wide, sweeping, open green where the eye sees only grass and trees, with no sign of the vast city on any side. Sit for a few moments and listen——listen, and there will come to your ears the most wonderful sound in all the world. It is the voice of London—an ever changing, inarticulate, pregnant solil- oquy.‘ One day it, will be the gentle murmur of a sea she‘ll. Again it is the harsh grinding of the mill of the gods crushing human grain beneath its upper and nether millstones. The mighty but distant reverberation is sometimes a triumphant harmony, sometimes a minor note, melancholy and despairing. The myriad tongued voice which comes from the east is sullen, protesting, enduring; that from the west is a careless chorus of pleasure and prosperity; that from the north is a hopeful strain of patient progress; that from the south is a ea- dence of struggle and sorrow, and the whole is a symphony of human life, ma- jestic, inspiring, infinitely pathetic. Nowhere save in this spot does the greatness of London impress itself upon me.—Boston Transcript. ’ [------— ~ 'v". ,M“ Ten- ¥ Sweet Caporal , Little Cigars “Equal and Exact J ustice to all .Men of Whatever State 0r Persuasion, ReligioLI/s or Political.”-'—Je]7'erson. “u OSTON'SO‘ NGRWALK, CONN. - , _ z = g5 "Pr ice ouster I THE GREATEST sans: on o .1, ».‘ .._. _ -'« ‘ afi.‘ D ’ \ EVER.
