England Promises to Strictly Uphold
the Regulations OF the Con-
vention of 1854.

Cape Town, Jan St is reported that
Hon. Cecil Rhodes. premier of Cape Colo

lain has telegraphed asking if it were true
that DR.. Jameson was shot. adding that
Mr.. Rhodes had telegraphed a positive de-
NAL OF the rumored gathering of a second
force Of the chartered compauy's troops at
Buluwayo. President Kruger has replied
that he had given no orders 10 shoot free
hooters who had been taken prisoners. but
that they would be punished according TO
law. He said they had been treated with
the greatest consideration by the burgh-
ers, despite the fact that the latter had
more than once been forced 10 take up
arms In defense OF the republic. President
krueger adds:
Our confidence in Mr.. Rhodes has re-
ceiEed such a rude shock that his repu-
diation Of the proceedings at Buluwayo
ought to be received with the greatest eau
ton Even now we have news that an
armed force is collecting on our borders
II that be true. / trust not the word of
Mr.. Rhodes. but the influence OF your gov
eminent viii suffice TO prevent the fur
Their incursions OF freebooters. although Il
was not successful in arrest.ng the ad-
vance Of DR.. Jameson"
Secretary Chamberlain in his reply to-
day thanked President Kruger for his as
surances, and adds that he had always
felt confidence in his magnanmity. He had
sent an imperial officer. he said. 10 Bulu-
wayo TO see that his orders were oheyed
and TO prevent the possibility OF any fur
Their raids, and assuring President Krue-
ger that he might rest confident that he
would strictly uphold the regulations Of
the convention Of 1854.
Berlin, Jan. 5-President Kruger, Of the
Transvaal. has sent to Emperor William

Polling invasion:
Il testify TO your majesty my very deep
and heartfelt thanks for your sincere con-
gratuiations. With Gods help we hope

NOW 1T is DIR. BROWN.
His Flock No Longer Believe
Him TO Be a Martyr.
HIS PULPIT FILLED BY ANOTHER.
A Feeling That He should Demand n
Church Trial or Resign His
Passionate.

San Francisco. Jan. 5.-The Chronicle
says: A crisis seems approaching in the
relations between Rev. {. %. Brown and
his flock. During the early days Of the
church scandal the members OF the con-
gregation were loyal TO their pastor in
the hour OF his difficulty, and lookeo
upon him as a martyr. A change has
come, and one that portends daSkly for
the man who Is prosecuting Mrs David
son for blackmail The loyalty and stead
faStness OF his church Is melting ami dis
sipsting, and in its place is crystallizirg
d sentiment adverse TO HIS interests
For the first time in the history Of the
First Congregational church is pastor,
overcome by the worry and shame incident
TO a police court scandal, was absent to-
day from its pulpit His place was taken
by Prof. r. R Lloyd. of the Pacific theo-
logical seminary Of Oakland Prof Lloyd
spoke at both the morning and the evening
services. No reference occurred in his dis
course 10 the real cause OF his presence
there. The curious crowd has found itself
to the church We'll as 10 the police
court. There were q great many strangers
in rodays audience. But II they expected
TO see anything outside Of the prosaic, they
were disappointed. They missed a view OF
DR.. Brown, because he was not at the
church at all.
a friend had brought word 10 the con-
to mis- bed, overcome by the fatigue and
worry incident TO attending the trial in
the police court the preceding day. There
was an air Of gloomy, nervous excitement
apparent in the countenances of the more
devout and earnest members of the con-
gregation. There was a marked aversion
on the part of the members of the church
TO mention the name of DR.. Brown or
Matte Overman. But the most remark
able aspect OF the case was the radically
changed opinions of those who referred 10
II. A week ago DIR. Brown was the victim
of d conspiracy, now DR.. Brown IS CEN
trail figure in a scandal, and the church
has achieved much undesired notariety.
For the first time the religious probity OF
the pastor is doubted by some OF his par
ishioners, and sympathy for Miss Over
man has given place TO caustic criticism.
The feeling is growing that Or. Brown
should resign his passionate, or else de-
mand a church trial TO investigate the
truth of the charges made against HIM
1t was rumored that the pastor would not
preach again In the church until he was
fully exonerated.

London. Jan. 5-The belief has been ex-
pressed here that the expedition OF jane
son into the Transvaal involved an UNDER
standing that there was 10 De an uprising
or the Ultlanders in Johannesburg IN CO.
operation with DR.. Jameson, and that MS
raid would have been successful II ne nad
received the expected assistance from Jo-
hannesburg. The abstention Of Johannes
burg from taking part in the fight at krue-
gersdorf, where DR.. Jameson met his as
astrous reverses, is partly explahed oS
cablegrams received today dated December
30. which was the day before Dr. Jameson
start, stating that President Kruger has
received a deputation of the ag-
grieyed residents and that ne nad
made them promise that ne
would take of the duties on foodstuns
and would support equal subsidies for the
schools Of all languages. He would alSo' ne

All the newspapers this morning con-
graduate Colonial Secretary chamberlain
upon his concise statement or the I'M
fiinching policy of the government IN the
Transvaal, which he regarded as reply
TO Emperor Williams telegram to Presl-
dent Kruger. The Times voices the gen
eral opinion in saying:
eve shall not alter our reading OF our
own treaties or relinquish our historical
claims al the bidding of the German en-
Deror. nor shall we fail to maintain them
il the necessity is forced upon US by sac
rifices similar to those upon which they
were founded"
The Times confines: IF the Venezuela
difficulty encouraged Germany 10 nout
England, the very different reception CIV
en- her interference from that accorded
our American kinsmen serves as a warn
ing The point where serious conse-
auences will follow is not far off.
A special from Berlin gives an interview
with W L. Leyds. secretary OF state q
the Transvaal in which he said he could
not express mis- opinion upon the probabil-
ity of a German protectOrate being eStao-
lished in the TrausyGal, as negotiations
were still proceeding.
A Vienna dispatch to the Daily Tele-
graph SAYS &c is reported that Prince Hatz-
field the German ambassador, has inform
ed Lord Salisbury that Germany refuses
IN recognize the British suZerainty over
the Transyaal and that it is believed that
Austria supports Germany in this view.

from Gov Sir Hercules Robinson at Pre-
toria. at o'clock Sunday morning, repre-
senting that Hon. Charles Coventry has
