the kilograms captured by the Beers
when Dr. Jameson was made a pris-
oner, continue to be the leading subject
for comment in the press and among
people of all classes. Everybody seems
to be waiting for events, and it is be-
lieved that still mort startling develop
ments are coming The general public
and the newspapers, as a rule.
ARE HEARTILY ASHAMED
of the whole business, and are calling
for the punihsment of Cecil Rhodes and
his associates, high and low.
1t is expected that the statement which
the secretary of state for the colonies,
Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, will make on
the subject in the house of commons
on Monday will decide the fate of the
British Chartered South Africa company.
The general opinion is that its charter
will be revoked and that steps will be
taken
TO PUNISH
those who were concerned in organizing
the raid into the Transvaal. 1t is recog-
nized on all sides that President Krue-
ger is master of the situation, and that
Great Britain will have to steer most
carefully to avoid race war in South
Africa.
According to the London correspondent
of the Novosti, OF st. Petersburg, who
claims to have obtained his information
from a British cabinet minister, Great
Britain'S aim in the Soudan expedition is
to reoccupy the equatorial province, and,
when she establishes herself on the up
per Nile, to evacuate Cairo and the lower
Nile.
This correspondent also claims to have
been informed that the operations against
the Dervishes will be conducted con-
Jointly by Great Britain, the Congo Free
State and Italy, from Dongola, NSuakim
and Uganda. A railway is to be run
across the desert from Suakim and thus
Great Britain will still
HAVE A HOLD ON EGYPT
by her occupation of the upper Nile, even
if Europe insists upon her evacuating
the country. and it is further said that
she will not object to the naturalization
of Egypt, although she will not allow
another power to establish itself in that
country.
THE FRENCH MINISTRY.
A very short life is predicted for the
new French ministry. Its existence de-
ponds entirely upon playing one group
against another and with the exception
of M HanotauX the cabinet is composed
of men of no great eminence. Its policy
will be to patch up a compromise with the
senate and adopt a series of state social
ism proposals. in which public works and
other age pensions will have leading
place. NJ. ttdnOIdu& Is pTOHOuuCeu
anglophobe and consequently his appoint
ment as minister of foreign affairs has
been received with little pleasure in Great
Britain. On the other hand, advices from
Russia indicate that M. Hanotux's APP
pointment especially and the change of
ministry as a whole have been very ac-
ceptable, though the impression prevails
that the present ministry Will soon be
followed by another, which may last until
the general elections. In the meanwhile
the socialists are becoming more violent,
the conservatives and Republicans more
warmed and the revisionist campaign
more active, indicating that President
Faure will soon have to face an exceed
ingly difficult situation.
THE HERR CASE.
The decision today not to grant the ex-
tradition of DR.. Cornelius Herr, the fam
Gus Panama lobbyist, who has been sick
and a prisoner here for over three years,
finally ends case which has been drag
ging YEARLY along. But it comes too late
to help the unfortunate Frenchman, who
seems to be upon the point of death.
Sir John Bridge, the chief magistrate of
the Bow street extradition court, and law
yers representing the French government,
Travelled to Bournemouth on Monday ac
cording to agreement and there conducted
an examination of the sufferer in his bed
room. This was in accordance with the
modification of the treaty of 1876 recently
arrived at between France and England so
as to allow any magistrate to conduct the
examination of an extradition prisoner
anywhere in England.
The examination in this instance took
place in DR.. Herz's bedroom. He was sup
ported by two nurses and his wife. The
scene
WAS A MOST PAINFUL ONE,
and Sir John Bridge today, in declining
10 grant the sick mans extradition, said
he did not believe any jury would convict
him upon the evidence produced and
therefore, declined to grant his extradi-
ton, adding that the proceedings at
Bournemouth formed the saddest specta-
Gle he had ever seen and filled him with
pity for the poor wife and children who
were so carefully attending the dying
man.
