long Bloemfontcf dispatch which states
that the deputation from the Orange gov
ernment which was sent to Pretoria was
shown documents proving the plot which
was alleged in IA dispatch from Transvaal
sources in South Africa on Jan. 12 to ex-
ist. This dispatch asserted that it was the
intention Of people of the Chartered South
African company to set loose savages 90
Invade the Transvaal from all points, Ia
Kill every white man, and that provision
stations had been arranged for all over
South Africa the object being to destroy
Pretoria and To present England with the
accomplished fsct OF the conquest. IL IS

War tn the Knife.

FRANKFORT, Ky, Jan. 20.--The city Is
filling mp with the friends OF Blackburn
and Hunter. Although the leaders of both
had agreed Tint there should be no bal
loting for senator until Feb. T. or until
after the successor OF Wilson had quail
fed, yet the nominees of the caucuses
seem 10 be so suspicious of each Other that
they are marshaling their forces here for
balloting In both houses separately tomor-
row. The war between Hunter aud Black
burn. with their fighting friends on the
ground, is expected 10 make trouble. Both
sides arc very determined.

GERNIANY'S FUTURE.
Is Uncertainty Shown In the General
Lack OF Enthusiasm.

LONDON, Jan. 2o-The Berlin CORE.
'pondent OF The Times, in the course of
ong special article recalling the splendid
enthusiasm of the victory of 1871, says:
Can it be said that the heart of the Ger
nan nation responded yesterday with the
ktme enthusiasm or that in many minds
its splendid memories of the past were 10
some Cxtcnt dimmcd and marred by dis
appointed cxpcciations and uneasy appre-
Tensions The death of two empcrors has
made room for n sovereign Of a strangely
different type, of whom all that can bo
safely said is that in the 36th year OF his
age and the eighth OF his reign his chief
characteristic is his youth.
The correspondent then proceeds TO refer
to the absence of Prince Bismarck, the
King Of Saxony the Grand Duke of Baden
and General Blumcnthal from the fetes.
and, reviewing the internal troubles and
the menacing outlook abroad, he says:
Few Germans can look forward without
apprehension TO the issue of the great
conflict upon which Ii is universally felt
the destinies of tho young empire still
hang. Between the lines OF the dithyram-
bic leading articles one may read even to-
day something of the disappointed weari-
ness, uncasiness and restlessnoss which
have cast over the glorious memories OF
the past the shadows of the anxious fu-
ture.
The appeal to aid him in binding the
greater German empire across the sea,
though formulated at Saturdays banquet
for the first time in such impressive and
emphatic form, has probably possessed the
kaiser's mind for a long time, and prob
ably furnishes the key To Gernany's re-
cent action.in China and the Transyaal.
Saturdays ceremony was invested with
every element of spectacular pomp, but
even in the moderate papers complaints
are rife that it partook more of the charac-
ter Of state pageant than OF national
festival. The Kolnische Heitung and The
National Zeitung are bitterly sarcastic
over tho exclusion of the press.
Prince Bismarck received over 600 COM
gratuiatory tcicyrains, including one from
Emperor Joseph and one from King Hum
bert and from nearly ali the German SOW
ereigns.

Dunraven'. Charge. without Foundation.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2o.-1he New York
Herald prints this morning the complete
story of the investigation by the special
committee appointed for that purpose of
tho charges OF fraud made by Lord Dun
raven against the Defender in the match
for tho Americas cup last fall. The mem
bers OF the committee were Messrs. Phelps,
Mnhnn, Morgan, Whitney anu Rves
Their fairness and the honesty of their in
vestigation cannot be impeached AS
every good American has not only hoped,
but believed, the Investigation shows that
Lord Dunraven's charges were absolutely
without foundation-that they rested on
nothing more material than what he and
those with him thought they saw.

working Toward Perfection.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.--Thc weather bu-
reau, under tho direction of Professor
Moore, Is now engaged III experiments in
tho management OF acroplanes Of kites
that promise 10 bs OF high scientific value.
Ii is tho purpose of Professor Moore To de-
wise system OF kites which can be relied
upon 10 carry considerable weight two
miles above tho surface Of the earth. The
kite adopted tor tho purpose is of cellular
construction and Is intended to carry up
to this great altitude instruments which
will automatically record the conditions
OF the atmosphere above. Professor Moore
feels that tho weak spot that remains in
the weather service is in the prediction OF
rainfalls. According to his theory n vast
improvement In accuracy In this respect
can be attained 10y full knowledge OF
what Is going on In the air, far above the
enrth, and this he expects to ascertain by
means OF his kites.
