LONDON, Jan. S.-(Copyrighted, 1896,
by the Associated Press. THE gravity of
the political crisis here is increasing in
stead of diminishing. The attitude of
Emperor William toward Great Britain in
the matter of DIR. Jameson's freebooting
expedition into the Transvaal, upon closer
study, seems to have been deliberate and
long and carefully planned. The Trans
vaal incident, ii would appear, was only
the pretext seized upon by the emperor in
order to enter the field as an active oppon-
ent of Great Britain's policy of aggrandize-
ment in Africa. and her little misunder-
standing with King Prempeh of Ashanuee,
and her support of ItaIy's warfare against
Abyssinia are believed to have been the
irritating features which finally induces
his majesty to show his hand. OF course
this is only sample of the rumors in cir
culation here, but it shows the drift OF the
wind and has served to incense the British
a degree not witnessed since the war
, with Russia was threatened some years
ago.
To make matters worse it is now re-
ported that the Transvaal republic will de
mand an indemnity of $2,5O0.000 from
Great Britain as one of the results of DR..
Jameson's invasion of the little Dutch re-
public. If this turns out to be the case, no
doubt will be entertained that Emperor
| William in his recent interviews with DR..
| W. j. Leyds, the secretary of state for the
Transvaal, prompted this demand and
may also have announced his intention of
supporting it,
Dispatches from Berlin announce that
Emperor William had an important con
ference this morning with DR.. Kayser,
chief of the German colonial office, an
that further dispatches have been en-
changed between Berlin and Pretoria.
The report that orders have been sent to
Portsmouth, Davenport and Chatham for
the immediate commissioning of a flying
squadron of warships is confirmed this
afternoon and has caused a profound sem
sation in all circles. The flying squadron
is ordered to be ready for sea by January
IA, Tuesday next. 1t will consist of the
following ships: Revenge, iirss-class bat
tleship of 1880 tons; four 67-ton guns;
ten six-inch quick-tiriDg guns; thirty-six
smaller rapid firing guns; eighteen inches
side armor; speed, 17h knots.

men do, probably because of it's lack of
range. This defect they say will make it
possible for battle ships to lie beyond the
gums reach and ill be most effective
against land batteries. while torpedo boats
OF great swiftness could dodge the projec
tiles OH account of their slow velocity.
Eminent ordnance experts of the army
have contended that the pneumatic gun
would be of ncalculable value in dealing
with large fleet and that no ships would
dare approach within it's range, knowing
that the explosion of 500 pounds of gela-
tine i'm the vicinity of the vessel would have
a most disastrous result upon those upon
board. 1t is asserted further that one shot
from pneumatic gun would be worth more
than broadside from warship.

An Educational ORGAN

SACRAMENTO, Jan. S.-The state board
of education, which went into executive
session today to decide upon an official
educational organ for the state, decided to
allow the present organ, the Pacific Edu-
cational Journal, to continue in force until
June. They also decided to recommend to
the next legislature the abolishment of the
subsidy paid to the ofIiciul organ and hore
in this way that rivalry on an equal basis
without state aid will be an improvement
on the present condition Of afSairs.

QuarreIing
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Jan. S.-The
statehood meeting held here today was a
failure. The contest was over the question
of whether Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory ought to become separate states or go
into the union as one.
The delegates who favored single state
of Oklahoma and Indian Territory argued
that neither alone is strong enough to sup
port state institutions, but that united they
would bea great state.
The convention was turbulent one from
beginning to end. Charles Il. z. Hensley
was made chairman. At S:l5 tonight the
committee on credentials having been un-
able to report, owing to the strife between
the ''single staters" and the ''double
staters," Chairman Hensley declared the
convention adjourned sine die. For half
an hour afterward the utmost confusion
prevailed, and finally, when the uproar was
approaching the proportions of riot,
Sheriff De Ford turned out the lights and
ordered the delegates from the hall. This,
it is believed, will end all organized effort
to secure statehood from the present con-
greSS.

Coyotes and Cattle.

A novel scheme for saving his cattle
from the droyes of coyotes that infest
the region has been hit upon by q
rancher Of Glen Rock, Wash. He has
placed bells on the necks of a great
number of cattle in his herds, and the
result has been to scare the coyotes
away. In the two months since he
belled his herds he has not lost q sim
gle animal, while previously his loss
averaged at least one steer n day.
Coyotes are becoming more Of a pest

now the coyotes refuse to touch the

way OF killing them is by shooting
them, and this Is a feeble and wholly
inadequate a Occasionally the
residents Of a district combine and have
a grand roundup hunt, driving the
coyotes toward the center Of a circle
and slaughtering them there, and this
is the only means of appreciably thin
ming them out occasionally. In some re-
gions the packs of gray wolves are as
numerous and troublesome as the coy
otes. The coyotes are particularly
adept chicken thieves, and, indeed, are
a general pest around the farm yards,
