JAMESON ARRIVES.
Great Excitement in the Vicinity Of
Bow Street Court, Lon


London, Feb. 25.-Dr. Jameson land
ed at Firth on the Thames in a tug
from the troopship Victoria and took the
train for London. There was great eX-
element at Bow street police court at
3:15 p. M, when number of DR.. Jane
sons friends arrived. This was looked
upon as showing that the long-expected
invader of the Transvaal would soon
follow them
Among those present at that time
were the Duke of Abercorn, Viscount
Chelsea, the Earl of Arlington, Col.
Strategy, private secretary to the Mar
quis Of Salisbury; several colonial Off
GERS and officials, Charles E. Warde,
NJ. p, and many other people of note.
Inside and outside Bow street police
court, in anticipation of the arrival of
Dr. Jameson, the principal subject dis
cussed was the charge upon which he
would be arraigned. Lawyers have
claimed that he can be charged with
piracy on the ground that the acts he
and his followers committed are similar
to the acts committed by pirates at sea,
and that sea pirates and land pirates evil
IDENTIFY come under the same category
and should be punished under the same
provisions of the law.
Then again it has been asserted that
DR.. Jameson should be charged with
high treason on the ground that he was
caught bearing arms without the aV-
thority of his government in the terri
tory of foreign powers. This view of
the case, however, is combatted on the
ground that the South African republic
is not foreign power, as, according to
the treaty of 1884, it is practically under
the protectorate of Great Britain mas
nluch as it's foreign relations are subject
to the approval of the British crown.
1t is further recalled that previous to
called provincial act was passed, i'm
posing the penalty of death on citizens
of any foreign state at peace with Great
Britain who should be found in arms
against her majesty in Canada, and
there are people who have asserted that
this act could be brought to bear upon
DR.. jameson, although it is difficult to
see how he can be classed as a citizen
of foreign state. But it is true that
many Irishmen who joined in the Fenian
raid tried, after having been captured
and arraigned under the provincial act,
to reassert their British nationality, un-
successfully, in attempts to escape the
penalties Of the law.
DIR. Jameson, after having traversed a
circuitOus route in order to avoid the
crowds, arrived at Bow street police
court 1T 6:25 p. m. He was loudly
entire audience rising and uncOyering
upon his appearance.
Later DR.. Jameson and fourteen of his
fellow prisoners were charged with
warning against friendly state"
The case was adjourned for two weeks,
the prisoners being admitted to bail in
$4,000 ($1OO0O each.

upon this city. A strong detachment of
the Leonists has already left that town
and it is believed that Managua will be
attacked tomorrow or the next day.
The Conservative party in this city
met this morning and resolved to give
moral support to President Zelaya and
also determined to send ex-President
Cardenas and Gen. Alvigil to Granada
near Lake Nicaragua to inform their
partisans there of the determination to
support the President. The insurgents
are supported by a portion of the polit-
zeal party in power, but up to the pres
ent what is known as the opposition
party proper has not joined the rebels.
The antagonistic feeling of the people
of Leon and its vicinity and those of
Managua date from away back and are
founded upon jealousies having religion
as their basis and more modern ideas on
the other hand as their excuse.
Unhappily for President Zelaya large
consignment of modern arms and artil-
lery, purchased in Germany, which ar
rived here shortly after the occupation
of Corinto by the British and which at
one time it was feared would fall into
the hands of the B ritish admiral, have,
owing to political intrigues, found their
way to Leon and are now used against
the President and his supporters.
The excuse for sending the arms to
Leon was that a certain party here was
in favor of a dictatorship being de-
clared, and that therefore it was adj
visable that the modern arms and am
munition should be stored at Leon,
where it was asserted there was less
likelihood of a demonstration for or
against the government Leonists were
powerful enough to have their way in
this matter and it would seem from
the present developments that this was
the only feature of a plot to overthrow
the government of President Zelaya.

Poor TOMS difficulties seemed
thicken1ng around him.
In a few hurried words he told his
errand. The girl, staring wildly at
him, scarcely seemed to take III the
sense Of what he SAID.
At that moment the door above
opened.
Bring her up" bring her up, cried
frantic voice, which he hardly recog-
nized as Nelly's "She is dead! she is
killed! my child is killed, and you
have brought her home--let me see her

"Nly God! there seems nothing but
misery in this world"
Ay, but much that comes OF our err
rors!
Tom ran up the stairs and at the
top met Nelly, half dressed, in the
widest distraction.
"Where is she?" she cried. '.She
is dead! she is hurt! What have you
done with her?"
Ida is safe, Mrs. Franklen," said
| Tom: ''she isn't hurt--nothing's the
matter-only there's IL mistake, and
want to take you to her"
The poor mother threw her arms
around his neck, and blessed and
kissed him, crying the while very
much to the discontinue OF the print
er boy, to whom the experience was
totally new.

the case, at once consented to 90
advised that Nelly should remain;
but the mother, though as yet hardly
aware of the facts of the case would
not hear of it.
So a cab was fetched. The man
happened to know Tom, and had no
hesitation upon the subject ofhis fare,
which might otherwise been excus-
able.

which in such cases is usually ascribed

culated to inspire confidence in the
breast of even London cabman.
Mrs. Grejous little thought for what
her reputed solvency went bail.
They were not long reaching the
court. Tom had done his best to
prepare Mrs. Franklen for what
awaited her, but when she entered on
the scene, and beheld her child, who
had just been placed in the dock-a
policeman on one side, her little hand
held on the other by a strange woman,
with a swollen eye and face disfgured,
surrounded by officers and the I'M

position there made her one of them

STARTING OUT EARLY.
A Pair of Infantile Boys Who Are
ChiCken-SteaIers.

Yesterday morning Officers Fisher
and Maley learned that a number of
chickens had been stolen from Lands
hennery at Ninth and * streets, and on
investigation learned that the alleged
theft had been committed by two little
boys. aged and 4 years, respectively,
who live with their parents in the alley
bounded by Ninth and Tenth, X and
L streets.
The officers took the elder boy over
to the scene of operations, and while
there the little fellow said he and his
brother had stolen six chickens from
Lands yard at different times, usually
on Sundays, as on that day there was
no one around to detect them.
When asked what they did with the
fowls, the youngster stated that they
took them home and turned them
loose in their back yard, where there
was already a large flock. He de-
clared his ability to pick out the fowls
he and his brother had stolen, and sub
Sequently pointed out five which he
said had been stolen from Mr. Lands
yard. Those five chickens are now iv-
ing on the fat of the land at the City
Prison.
The small boys were taken before
Chief Drew, who declared that he was
rot running a foundlings' hcme, and
ordered them turned loose, giving his
men permission, however to make in
vestigations as to whether or not the
parents of the children might be sue
cessfully charged with having received
stolen property. The boys told Chief
Drew that they had been tempted to
steal by Roy Gould. the young firebug,
who has created so much trouble within
the past two years.
The mother of the boys, while the
officers We're starting for the station
with them, cautioned them in German
to keep their mouths closed.
Mr.. Lands, owing to the fact that
he has 300 or 400 fowls in his yard, is
urable to determine whether or not
those seized by the police are his.
