spectators could lay claim to
the control of a country
over which British authority
has never been established, and
which has been frequented by bnrgh-
ers Of the South African republic
for forty years. Now the imperial
question has cropped up behind the
question ofthe chartered company's
rights. The High Commissioner
seeing that the claims of the char
tered company fail to inspire res
ptct has taken up the ground that
the country beyond the Linn
popo1 is British territory, in
order to prevent another
and more formidable "Trek." 1t
is such declarations as these that
have aroused the strongest indigna-
tion of members of the Volksraad,
and have tended to revive the re-
collection Of old grudges which were
beginning to be forgotten. The fact
is, they have left state of things
which contains all the possibilities
Of destructive and disastrous wal
and which is tending to paralyze in
dustry throughout the whole of Soutf

NASHVILLE, Tenn, July H.
The sensation of the hour in the
Tennessee capital is the charges
against State Comptroller Allen of
retaining commissions to which he
is not entitled and placing State
money in bank to his individual ac-
count. The Legislature of 1887
made a law allowing the State Comp
trOller l l per cent. of all railroad
tax for collecting the same, but it is
claimed that the law was repealed
in 1889. Nevertheless, Allen has
continued to deduct the commissions.
He has placed the money collected
in bank in his own name, which
eminent legal authorities declare is
in violation of the law which COM
pels him to turn over all collec-
tions Immediately to the Treasurer.
Allen claims to have done nothing
wrong. There is considerable
amount involved.

Of the over-issued stock; that
an agreement had at one time been

which involved the delivery of mon

before a certain date, but the deliv-

Afairs IN the Iransuaal and the
South african Republic.

LONDON, July 11.-There can be
no question that during the last few
weeks the relations between the
South African Republic and the
British government have been ex-
ceedingly strained, nor can there be
any doubt that the popular feeling
among the burghers Of the Trans
vaal has been one Of strong and,
from their point OF view, justinable
Indignation at the unfriendly
and captious spirit displayed by
the British High Commissioner.
Ibis unfriendliness is not thing
of yesterday. In August last the
negotiations about the Swagiland
convention were handled with an
necessary severity, when the same
even better result could have been
attained by the display Of more
generous and appreciative spirit on
the part Of Sir Henry Lock. The
common conviction then was that
it was not really the desire Of Her
Maesty's government that any
untriendliness should be shown
in the negotiations, and thsa
the exhibition of harsh
and threatening demeanor was ow-
ing partly to the influence exercis-
ed by the domineering temper Of
the Premier of Cape Colony, Mr..
Cecil Rhodes. The same cause is
now assigned for the strained rela-
tions existing at the present mo-
\ ment. The scheme of a great boor-
: trek recently formulated for the
purpose Of founding Northern re-
: : public alarmed the British South
African chartered company and
strenuous efforts were at once made
{ by Mr.. Rhodes, not to stop the trek
: at all, but to make it conditional on
: the acceptance of the authority Of the
Q company, almost completely ignor
!" ing the fact that British imperial
:, authority was concerned IN such 6
/ movement, and that the British
y government, which had declared
the territory to be sphere Of Bri

thing to say in the matter. MIR

SHELBY, n. ~, July 1.-THE
quiet town of Lincolnton is great
ly excited over the tragic affair in
which Samuel MOtz, prominent
young citizen, was killed, and Chas.
Motz his cousin and Robt. Michael
were wounded.
Some four weeks ago Miss Mag
Gle Motz, a beautiful young girl, be-
came mother ofan illegitimate child.
1t was claimed by many that Mich
ael was the father of the child, while
by others it was said that Rev. w.
Y. Fife, known as the drummer evan
gelist, was the author of the young
lady's downfall. Committee inves-
tigated charges against Fife and ex-
.onerated him.
Miss Motz made confession aft,r
cbild's birth, charging Michael 18th
being its fat.,er. Trouble between
the MOTIFS and Michael has been
expected for sometime, as the latter
made no effort to marry his victim.
Directly after dinner to-day Michael
and Samuel Motz, cousin to young
lady, hired buggy and started tt
Lithia Springs, three miles from
LincolntOn. When about a mile
from town they were fired upon from
ambush by John, Charlie and C"ld
well Motz, brothers to Miss Mag
gle. There were three shots fire.
and Samuel Motz was instantl,
killed, falling out of the buggy
Michael was shot through the thigh
arm and hand. As Samuel Mot
fell from the buggy, the brother
started to run, when Michael Dire,

her father at once suggested that they
settle the question by racing their trains
for the next three days. the one getting
70 the switch twice ahead of the other to
be the winner. The proposition was
eagerly grasped by the conductors and
acceded to by Sallie. All agreed upon
secrecy, except that the conductors
should make confidants of their engi
neers.
Anxiously the father and daughter
awaited the coming of the trains the
next afternoon. Fully twenty minutes
before schedule time the familiar
whistle rang out, and Billy's engine
came to n standstill just as Jacks train
came around the bend. Billy was ex-
ultantly happy The next day. however,
Jack was sitting upon the porch talking
serenely to the prize when Billy's en-
gine came into view.
The following day would decide it,
and the morrow found four eager hearts
wondering what the result would be.
About ten o'clock, however, a steady
rain set in, which apparently settled
the question of fast time being made
that day. AS Billy passed down the
line and saw the soaking woodpiles he
felt exceedingly blue, but while ponder
ing great thought came into his brain,
and his countenance cleared in an in
stant When he got to the end of the
run he took the engineer aside and ex-
planned something, which caused
broad grin to overspread the features
of that worthy. Billy was next seen in
\ provision store. and ere the train de-
oarted an odd-lOoIing barrel marked
Sugar Cured" was put aboard the en-
zine. His train made glorious time that
afternoon, and when the passengers
asked how the engineer managed to
keep up steam Billy smiled, but said
nothing. He felt no forebodiRgs of de-
feat now. Poor old Jack must be a
dozen miles down the road, and right
around the curve was Yocum's. ''Ilur-
rah.'' Billy said to himself. "Hur-"
he did not finish. From the car plat
form he saw something that made him
rub his eyes in aStoniShment. Was IL
Jacks train lying there so quietly on
the siding, or had his senses deserted
him? \ wild screech of triumph from
the waiting engine made him realize it
was indeed true. His rival had won the
third heat.
Jack, taking warning from his de-
feat the first day, had wisely bargained
with the wood-station man for a spe-
cial supply Of dry pine-knots, and these
were supplemented on the rainy day
with a barrel of pine tar.
Billy danced at the wedding, but the
sight of ham has filed him with dis
gust ever since.-Chicago Journal
