Transvaal Question Displacing Venezuela
In Public Interest.
LONDON, Dec. 3O.-The Times pub
fishes long dispatches from Cape Town,
Paris and Berlin bearing on the Trans
vaal question, which seems to be dis
placing the Venezuelan question in the
public interest.
The Paris dispatch quotes The Debats
as saying: The London Times seems to
be avenging itself on the Beers for the
moderate tone it was obliged to adopt
towards Uncle Sam. The Debats then
proceeds to argue upon the danger to
French interests of allowing England
to seize to Transvaal.
A dispatch to The Times from The
Hague says that Hollands attitude on
the question is apparently one OF in
difference.
The Berlin dispatch says: The &C.
ton of the Uitlanders in the Transvaal
has given rise to an unusually violent
explosion Of anti. English feeling in the
German press.
The National Zeitung is quoted as
follows: Germany, Portugal, and pos.
sibly France, cannot allow the Boer
republic to become the exclusive prey
of England, and especially Of such q
dangerous parsonage as MIR. Cecil
Rhodes.

Two hours passed and neither the
doctor nor the hired man returned. A

son place was reached DR.. Young was
found lying in the front yard dead.
Near the body was large Indian club
covered with blood, which told how the

The hired man who came to Buffalo
after the doctor was nowhere to be

murdered and the body hidden away.

Miss Kate Field Interview President

CHICAGO, Dec. 90.-The Times Herald
published an interview with President
Sanford B. Dole of Hawaii had by Miss
Kate Field. The interview is elaborate,
filing several columns and touching
closely on Hawaiian policy and inter.
national questions.
Miss Field called Mr.. Dole's atten-
ton to the fact that his government
had been said to be characterized by an
insane desire to perpetuate itself in
Office. Mr.. Dole said:
1.-THE fact that the government is
working for annexation to the United
States is a good denial of that charge.
Annexation may deprive Us, or some OF
us, of Office. We are
Az. Working in Good Faith
and believe the people appreciate the
fact. As to the form of annexation
that would best meet our requirements,
it is difficult to say. A territorial form
Of government unmodified from the
form obtaining in the United States
territories would scarcely be suitable.
A new system would have to be in
vented to suit our conditions, much the
same as is the practice of England in
establishing a new colony. There is
no set of system. Each new colony is
organized as the necessity Of the case
demands"

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3O.-Official cal
culations made in Russia and trans.
mitted to. the state department by
United States Consul General Karel at
st. Peter sburg, show that the present
years harvest Of grain in the whole
world is much smaller than last years
and compared with 1894, the decrease
is, in wheat $50, 467, 900 bushels. and rye
12S, 1911 900 bushels. Other grains
turned out better. In Russia, the har-
vest was short 55,371 900 bushels Of
wheat, and SS,345. 900 bushels of rye.
The Russian financial organ therefore
commends the policy adopted by Rus
sian dealers of holding back their grain
to obtain better prices later on.

with two little babies near st. Jo-

were attracted by the noise of the
wings and saw the bird when it was
within a few feet them. Getting
near each other the women yelled
and threw clods of earth ann clubs
at him Thus discouraged he re-
treated, flying the while in circles
and making darts repeatedly at
them. The women continued their

it will be your duty to keep your

"But it will be hard to watch
two men and the bank at the same
time"
"Two men, how?'
why, sir, it was only yesterday
chat the manager called me in for a
talk, and he said you were one of
the best men in the city, but it
would be just as well to keep both
eyes on you, and let the directors
know if you hung about after
