There is a revival of the report, this
time from Washington, that Senator

nomination for president and conduct
ing large literary bureau to push his

He believes the Republican convention

President Kruger of the TransyaaI
has done an uncommonly shrcwd thing,
if the cable reports are to be trusted, in
taking DR.. Jameson. the leader of the
filibustering expedition, after he had
been condemned TO be shot by the
high court of the South African Re
public, and surrcndering him to the
British athorities. Dr. Jim is Just
at present a hero in the eyes of the
English people, and Austin, the poet
laureate, has Just ground out a string
OF poor verse in his honor, and any
severe punishment melted out to him
would arouse the greatest Indignation.
On the contrary, slight punishment
for such an outrageous act would dis
credit the government and go TO show
that, while outwardly rcpudiating his
expedition, in reality il sympathized
with Jameson and would have been
pleased if tho invasion had succeeded.
Kruger is playing to European
audience and this is just the fact he
would like 10 impress.

afterwards RENTED. Several weeks

and an execution was issued. Freis
had sent a written request to
the company to pay all his
wages to Gunderson Bros, and the re-
quest was obeyed. The company re-
fused to apply any money on the Turk
judgment and was cited into court to
show the whereby and whyfore. II APP
