WHY JAMESON FAILED.
lie Was Promised Aid Tbat Failed tn Ma
tcrializC.

LONDON, Jan. The belief has
been expressed here that the cxpcdi-
ton of DR.. Jameson INTO the Trans
vaal involved an understanding that
there was tn be an uprising of the
uitlandcrs in Johannesburg in coop
Grafton with DR.. jameson, and that
his raid would have been succcs,-
full If he had received the eX-
pected assistance from Johannes
burg. The abstiuation of Johannes.
burg from taking part in the fight at
krngcrsdOrph, where Dr. Jameson
met his disastrous reverse. is partly
explained by c%ablegrans received
yesterday dated December 80, which
was the day before DR.. Jameson's start,
stating that President Kruger had re.
ccived a deputation OF the aggricyci
residents and that he had made them
promises that he would take Off the
duties on food stuffS and would sup
port equal subsidies for the schools of
all languages. lie would also,
he said. advocate the desired change
in the franchise. This seems TO have
fully satisfied the UitinnderS. and it is
asserted that the leading men of all
nationalities were combining in an
active endeavor to circumvent the agi.
tation which was understood was be-
ing promoted by certain capitalists
with n view TO promoting collision
with the authorities, and thus to cs-
tublish u cause for imperial intcrycn.

THE LATEST BOND ISSUE.
Senator's are Not Inclined to Discuss the
Subject.

Senators are Not Inclined to Discuss the
Subject.
WASHINGTON, Jan. T.-Senators are
not disposed to talk about che bono
call issued by Secretary Carlisle.
democratic Senators generally ARE
non .committal. Senator's Harris and
vest, both members of the finance
committed, said they had not read the
call and had nothing 10 say. Senator
Gorman said that the call was ali
right, and was the sumc as the frs,
Two bond issues by this administration.
There were not many Republican
senators about the capitol. Most OF
them were reticent. Senator Morgan,
CHAIRMAN OF the finance committee,
SAID there was nothing to say; the call
spoke for itself.
Teller said that ne was graft.
hcd mat the president had decided
upon a popular loan aud he had no
DOUBT that the people would respond
in u way to justify the course decided
upon. Mr.. Teller did not believe that
the entire sum of 100 millions asked
Tor would be necessary. For himself,
ne ana not consider that any bonds
Were demanded, and he thought that
even from the presidents point of view
q smaller sum than 100 millions would
be sufficient.
The call was Il surprise to the House,
ior IL IA not been expected to appear
before the middle of the week. nor
had IL been anticipated. The plan is
generally approved by members of
nn,h M ~ ips ,vI., I,l.,.. H. "
cessity for bonds, and those who are
opposed to bond issues altogether.
THINK that the call for bids il much
better than the arrangement with tho
new York syndicate, which was gcn-
orally expected. There was some dis.
satisfaction expressed because the
president had not seen fit to wait until
the Senate waited on the House rcye-
nue. bill. although there is no expecta-
ton that the bond bill will pass the
Senate.
Among the Democratic enemies of
bonds talk was heard of a resolution
declaring the sentiment of the house
10 be against their issuance, but this
was considered impracticable as well
Us exceedingly unlikely to pass.
PERSONS well qualified to Judge of
the result OF the issue do not lool, for
large subscriptions from private in
divlduals, and the opinion is expressed
that the svndicate's bid for the entire
issue will be accepted. II is recalled
that private subscriptions to the first
loan of $50. 900, 900 amounted to about
$4,000, and to the last loan but little
more, and The bid submitted by the
syndicate, containing the condition
that they be awarded the entire
amount or none, left the government
no option in the matter.

Nicaraguan government is being urged
to annul the charter to the existing
