VIDE LAND CONFLICTS.
Work by the Land Commission Delayed
Because OF Them,

Olympia, Dec. 29.-Special.-Land Com
missioner Forrest has delivered to the
state board of land commissioners an alb
stract of conflicts OF applications so pur-
chase tide lands in front of Seattle, and
has certified all papers relating to the
same TO the board, which body now has
the matter in hand and notices TO parties
fixing time for hearing are now being sent
out.
There is an insufficient force in the office
volume of business. and owing to this fact
there is delay in the disposition Of tide
land matters at Tacoma. Steilacoom. Cos
mopOlis, Hoquiam, Ballard supplemental,
and a great amount OF tide land along the
Columbia river in demand for fishing pur-
poses, together with "A large number OF
applications 70 oyster lands and shore
lands. All Of these have been materially
delayed by the vast number Of conflicts IN
Seattle. The greatest lack OF force IL in
the engineering department for checking
up plats OF surveys. and where especial
care and efficiency is required Beside
checking up conflicts the engineers must
furnish the land commissioners with certi-
fed copies Of all applications IN conflicts.
and where the conflicts are so numerous
the amount Of work thus made necC ssary
SIS enormous. besides, the form Of tho APP
piications are not uniform and this makes
the work unnecessarily arduous. Land
Commissioner Forrest and his force are
working in6ustriously for long hours 10

DISTURBANCE IN AFRICA.
oregners Want Equal Rights With the
Native HOer.

johannesburg, Dec. 29.-The political
situation here IS acute, on account OF the
struggle of foreigners in the Transvaal
to obtain equal political rights with the
Beers. There are rumors of "a secret
arming OF the miners and warlike prepa-
rations, on account of which ladies and
children are leaving. Gen. Joubert, COM
mander-in-chief Of the Transyaal forces,
has been summoned 10 Pretoria from
Natal.
The Americans and Germans are siding
with the Transvaal government in the
controversy over conceding right TO for
eigners.
London, Dec. 30.-The Times this morn
ing publishes long dispatches from Cape
town. Paris and Berlin bearing on the
Transvaal question. which seems 10 be
displacing the Venezuelan question. The
Paris dispatch quotes the Journal des De-
bats as saying:
THE London Times seems to be aveng-
ing itself on the Beers for the moderate
tone IL was obliged to adopt toward Uncle
Sam The Des Debats then proceeds TO
argue upon the danger TO French interests
Of allowing England to seize the Trans
vaal.
a dispatch to the Times from The Hague
says that Hollands attitude on the ques-
ton is apparently one of Indifference.
The Berlin dispatch says: THE action
given rise to an unusually violent exploit
tation of anti-Irish feeling in the German
press"
The National Zeitung is quoted as fol-
lows: Germany, Portugal. and possibly
France. cannot allow the Boer republic to
become the exclusive prey of England, es-
pecially Of such a dangerous parsonage as
Mr.. Cecil Rhodes"
The Times dispatch then continues:
The Koelnische Zeitung. the Kreuz Ze-
tung and other papers express similar SEN
timents. II cannot be denied that while
the relations between the English ana Ger
man governments are in no way cordial.
a widespread feeling Of anmOsity against
England exists fin Germany"
London. Dec. 30.-Thc Times has a coll
umn article explanatory of the Transvaal
trouble which says: Equity OF represen-
tation with taxation. language law, re-
spOnsibiltY OF the administration 20 the
legislature, and the removal Of religious
disabilities are among the chief of the Tit
landers' demands while they desire 10
maintain republican institutions"
An editorial in the Times complains that
the French and German press is criticising
England without properly graspiug the
history or geography OF the question.
The Times believes that no desperate rem
edy. such as an appeal to force. will be re-
quired. Some reasonable concessions
even though not all that the Uitlanders
might rightfully claim. might avail TO
postpone conflict.
