AEEAlRs IN SOUTH AFRICA
A Large Force of Beers Near Mafekins
with Machine Gun.

with a Machine Gun.
LONDON, April 21.- The situation in
South Africa continues to absorb large
share of public attention and apprehen-
sions for the safety of Englishmen in Ma
tabeleland and particularly in Buluwayo
are not yet abated. There is an appreci-
able sense of relief over the news that a
supply train from Mefeking has got
through to Buluwayo and that the rein
forcements of imperial troops from Ma
feking are being rapidly pushed forward
for the relief of the place, which is to all
intents and purposes beleaguered, being SO
closely invested by the natives that nu-
merous skirmishes are occurring almost
in the outskirts of the town.
The Times publishes a dispatch from
Pretoria which says; president Kruger s
reply to Mr.. Chamberlain is friendly and
oonciliatory, but it fails to advance the
negotiation, 1t repeats that the president
cannot ask the volksraad to consent to his
visit to England until basis for the dis
cussion is settled. No agreement has yet
been arrived at. but hope is still enter
tanned of a satisfactory settlement, says
President Kruger. The Transvaal, he
continues, cannot admit any right of a
foreign power to interfere with its inter
nal matters. 1t relies upon it's independ-
ence in that respect provided by the Lon
don convention"
A dispatch from Mafeking to The Times
says: "A large force of Beers, estimated at
1900, is massed twenty-five miles from
Mafeking (Which is on the borders of the
TransvaaD with a machine gun. Their
purpose ostensibly is to prevent the spread
of the rinderpest, but they are really there
because another raid is feared, owing to
the massing of British troops here to be
forwarded to Buluwayo. DIR, Jameson 5
raid started into the Transvaal from Ma
feking."

noon. Hon. John r. Thayer, of Worces-

withdrawal of Ex-Governor William K.
Russell as candidate for delegate-at-
large has brought out several candidates,
among whom are James Donovan, chair
man. of the Democratic city committee,
John B. Moran, and John w. Coughlin,
of Fall River. 1t is thought that the
fight will narrow down to Donovan and
Moran, and that Coughlin, who is a per.

to withdraw. 1t seems to be the general
impression now that the convention will
indorse the presidential candidacy of ex-
Governor William u. Russell.

LEANS Under our form of government
every American citizen has the right to aspire
to public Office. The ambition is a laudablc
one; aud it is this general right that causes
so many TO thirst for political prefcrment.
Shenandoah is the largest town in the county,
and from Republican standpoint has never
had its quota of Office holders. 1t is true the
factonal feeling is not as strong as in some
other towns, but it exists all the same. There
is an undercurrent that works detriment to
the aspirations of Shenandoah Republican
! for political preierment, and is the one cause
that the towns full quota of plums are not
forthcoming. Get together, gentlemen, and
work in harmony.
The ante-convention canvass will be on
in all its glory soon, and among the list of
aspirants for county offices will be number
of Shenandoah Republicans either of whom
are worthy the honor they seek. Party fealty
and capacity for the official position make
them each strong candidates But let Their
canvass be made in the proper spirit, with a
fair field to all.
