Editor Hesse Talks.

LONDON, Jan 3.-Editor Hesse, of
the South Africa Critic, says he has a
cable dispatch referring to the recent
events at Johannesburg, sent since DR..
Jamieson's defeat, of such a grave
nature that he declined to publish It,,
until it is confirmed from other
sources. Hesse has had a long ex-
perience in the Transvaal, and
his previous news regarding points
in the crisis has been accuratee
In the course OF an interview today he
was quoted as saying: "If Johannes
burg is the safe town knew, the city
has risen, and either succeeded or
failed in the attempt to liberate janet
son. am satisfied that all foreigners
there, including Americans, would
help the English There are practi-
cally no Beers at Johannesburg, except
armed burghers who are parading the
Streets" ~

RUN ON GOLD RESERVE.
Large Withdrawals For Domestic seques-
tration.

Large Withdrawals For Domestic seques-
tration.
CHICAGO, Jan. THE Posts Wash
ington special says:
The fears entertained of a run on the
gold reserve bid fair to be realized.
Information was received at treasury
department today that orders for the
Importation Of gold had been cancelled
and SO, ,0eo, 900 will go out by tomor-
rows steamers.
Private advices from New York also
tell OF large Withdrawals for domestic
sequestration. This is what the ad-
ministration feared more than the
Withdrawals for export.
Scare dispatches poured into Wash
ington this afternoon, from Wall-street
news agencies, asking for the latest
about the treasury situation. 1t is not
improbable that the secretary Of the
treasury may be forced to abandon his
popular-loan programme and make
another syndicate deal within ten days
or two weeks, to preserve against nihi-
lation the reserve which will be down
to S5s, s,00o, 900 by tomorrow night on
known figures.

DEMANDS ON TURKEY.
Our Vessels May Force The Passage of the
DardanelIes.

Our Vessels May Force The Passage of the
Dardanelles.
CHICAGO, jar. A dispatch to the
Times-Herald from Washington says:
"Warships flying the stars and
stripes, and manned by the American
bluejackets, may force the passage
OF the Dardanelles and Bosphorus,
anchor at Constantinople and show
the sultan that Uncle Sam is not to be
trifed with. 1t transpires today that
the Bosphorus is likely to be the desti-
nation of the North atlantic squadron
OF American battle-ships, instead of
the Caribbean sea. =
Z "According to the plan arranged by
Secretary Herbert and Admiral Bunce
the squadron should have sailed from
Hampton roads for st. Thomas De-
cember 81. Though every ship was
ready for sea on the date, the feet of
seven vessels has been held for some
reason, which the secretary of the
navy has declined to reveal, and which
the officers of the feet have not known.
SIT is now stated that Admiral
Bunce, when he visited Washington
December 10, was given sealed instru-
ction, which postponed the Southern
cruise, pending certain development
in Turkey. Now the cruise in southern
waters may set sail for the Mediter-
ranean at almost any hour.
Secretary Herbert had q consulta-
tion yesterday with the president
about the situation. December l6
cable was received at the state de-
partment from Constan tinople, which
Secretary Olney sent in substance to
the senate. He said:
"Mintser Terrell expresses the grav-
est apprehension about the safety of
American citizens in the disturbed
regions unless the appalling massacres
can be stopped by the united efforts of
the Christian powers. He sees no hope,
however, of European concert to that
end. He says that If the missionaries
wish to leave Turkey he can procure
them transportation to Christian ports.
Ifthe men wish to remain he can fur
nish escort for all to the seashore,
whereupon the men can return, but he
adds that the women and children
should quit Turkey.

ceives the Association Press report,

somethinr i. wrong,

A correspondent of the Roseberg
Review has discovered some peculiar
fact connected with the assessment Of
[certain classes Of property In 1895 as
compared with the census report Of
1890, which disclose either an alarming
shrinkage Of values In those few years,
or decided under valuation by the
assessors. The correspondent says: (
SIN today's Oregonian see q tabu-
lated statement OF the assesable prop
erty OF the state as complied by the
state board of equalization. Just to
advance little thought on the subject,
will you permit me through your val
ued paper to state few plain, un-
adorned statistical facts?
"By the q. s. census of 1890, tie
value of the railroads of this state are
reported at $4,000, 900. and the live
stock at s27 200, 900, Thus the rail-
roads were then worth nearly three
times that. of all the live stock.
By this table the live stock is assessed
at s8,5l7 900 and the railroads at tS5, lbs
900. The railroads were worth In 1890,
s4s, 600, 900 more than all the live stock,
and in 1895 are assessed at 50, ,392, 900
less. The live stock is assessed at 31S
per cent of its value in 1890, the rail-
roads at only Z per cent.

To be a Public Loan

NEW YORK, Jan. "A special to the
World from Washington says it is
given out by senator, who has on pre-
vious occasions represented bhe admin
istration, that the president has defni-
tely broken with the Morgan syndicate.
Mr.. Cleveland, so the senator. says. is
intensely angry with Morgan, and de-
clares that the syndicate's action in
preparing to take loan was entirely
unauthorized, and has greatly embar-
rassed the government. There will be
no bond call, it is said, till congress has
a chance to act, and then it will be q
public loan, If the president is able to
follow his Will.
