Kruger and Chamberlain.

Pretoria, May 12--President Kruger
has declared his unbounded astonish-
ment of the British governments de-
fence of Cecil Rhodes and the British
South African company in the British
house of commons during the debate on
the Colonial estimates last Friday, and
has expressed the wish that he had been
personally present in order to refute the
arguments of Mr. Chamberlain.
The alleged. intrigues between the
Transvaal government and Germany
he declares to be the merest soap bub-
bles. The South African republic,
President Kruger says, wishes to be
friendly with all nations, but those who
engineered the recent plot against the
Transvaal must be punished and there
will be no rest in South Africa until
this Is done
DR.. w. ]. Leyds, secretary of state
of the Transvaal republic, has address,
ed a message to Sir Hercules Robinson,
governor of the Cape Colony, in which
he says the Partially shown by Great
Britain toward the directors of the
British South Africa company, and de-
clares that the British South Africa
company as at present controlled, is a
source of danger to the whole of South
Africa

SAW THE SEA SERPENT
W0NDROUS TALE OF SAYBROOk
POINT LIGHTHOUSE KEEPER.

Corroborated, it is Said, by His Wife and
Ship Captain-The Serpent's Enor-
nous Length and Bulk-After Frislsing
About 1t Departed for New Scenes.
Saybrook Point, May 12.-The inter-
esting topic here tonight is the story
told by Keeper John d. Skipworth of
the new light on the end of the jetty
The keeper says that on Sunday after
noon he sighted from the light a mon
strous sea serpent sporting on the sur
face Of the sound. In his estimation
the serpent measured three hundred
feet long and had monstrous head,
which it raised occasionally several feet
above the rest of it's body, and again
spouted water in the air like a whale TO
heighth of from ten to fifteen feet.
The serpent seemed to have an i'm
mense body, and, judging from what
was visible above water, Keeper Skip
worth says, it must have been ten or
twelve feet through half way between
head and tail. The monster was clear
ly marked and showed a great num-
Der of white spots and stripes, and at
the time resembled the hull of a down
turned yacht. 1t was headed for the
light and disappeared in the west. The
time that 1t was visible was short.
The railroad people here regard the
matter as a joke, but the keeper is I'M
doubtedly in earnest in the matter He
fastened over to the Point early yes
terday morning and told what he had
seen. He does not ask anybody to be-
lieve the story who is inclined to doubt
it. Unlike others who have sighted sea
serpents Keeper Skipworth has people
to corroborate his story. These, he
says, witnessed the monster and its an
tics. First of these to be mentioned by
the keeper is the captain Of the schoon-
err Emma, which is now unloading at
Chester, this state, q few miles above.
The captains return to these waters is
anxiously awaited. The keepers wife
was with him in the light and is sec
ond witness to the truth of the SER
| penis appearance.
There We're two others who saw the
monster from yacht not far from the
| jetty, but the keeper does not know
who they We're.
| John D. Skipworth has been keeper
of the new light two or three years now
and is well known all about here. He
came from Fire Island, where he was
promoted from the position of assistant
keeper by the government.
The monster has not been seen since
| Sunday.

Russia and England Clash.

London, May PA dispatch from
says that the Russians, through the
medium Of American Agent Smith,
have taken possession of disputed ter
ritory at Che Foo, over which the Brit
ish maintain claims.
The dispatch says that six Russian
warships and four United States war
vessels are lying at Che Foo.
A later dispatch from Shanghai to the
Globe confirmed the news agency adj
vices that the Russians have taken
possession of the disputed territory of
Che Foo
The dispatch adds that the seizure
was made in defiance of England's le-
gal rights.
The Russian Steam Navigation COM
pany secured tract or foreshore be-
longing to the English firm of Fergus
son at Che Foo and proposed to build
a pier thereon. Other firms objected to
the Russion company having posses
| sion of the property, whereupon the
Russian government interviewed and
| compelled the Chinese authorities to
accede to the full transfer of the prop
erty to the Russian company.
| The Globe, in a special article on the
| subject, says that England is bound to
| regard the affair as an unfriendly act
and that the result will be awaited with
| the greatest anxiety.
| The government has not received any
| information that Russia has seized any
| English territory at Che Foo and the
authorities say that they will be great
| ly surprised if Russia has really taken
| such an aggressive step.

supply of coal is imperative, and can
be had. The cost of such a plant as
would supply New Haven and Bridge
port would be 100000. There is still
another source of income derived from
the by-products. These are worked ur
by chemical companies and will net the

several items work SO we'll together that
no coal combination can effect them
no gas combination would injure them

Another Citizen Speaks on This Topic
Great Possibilities and Advantages Set
Forth-A Possible New Haven Industry

OsslDlllllte INV ScU
Forth-A Possible New Haven Industry
of the Future-Interestlng Statements.
To tho Editor OF the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
In your issues of May and May II
you have articles on "By-Product Coke
ovens"
Your first article, by Mr. Cowles,
shows the possibilities, and in recent
conversation with me he stated they
were the greatest things of the age.
Having made coke four years l can
state from u practical point that the
subject is one of great Importance to
| the citizens of New Haven, and equally
so to the citizens of Bridgeport When
one sees such men as Mr., Whitney OF
Boston, Wiedner & Elkins of Philadel-
phia, x-Congressman Johnston of Ohio,
with corporations like the National
Tube works, Cambria Iron works, Stan
dard Oil company and Dominion Coal
company, taking the matter up there
must be money in it. Then again, when
we consider the number Of charters be-
ing granted in Pennsylvania for gas
companies, we are still further strength
ened in this opinion.
The question, then simply comes
home to the citizens of Connecticut,
Shall we build these ovens or allow out
siders to do so? Shall we reap the adj
vantages entire or allow others to do
so?
The first consideration in this matter
is the cost and next the returns on the
investment.
The first cost is necessarily large, but
not nearly as large as that of electric
railways, while the returns will be bet
| ter
Coal can be delivered at sound points
for SO per ton; it will require for one
| ton of coke $500 worth of coal at the
above figure. To water, draw and load
this coke for shipment will require la
Dor amounting to IS cents per ton, max
ing the total cost of coke $4.25. 1t sells
in this vicinity now for IS and $3.50.
This coke is used in foundries for iron
smelling, but can be used as readily
for domestic purposes, some consider
| ing it better than anthracite coal by
one-fifth; |. e., if anthracite were SELL
ing for $3.50 domestic coke would be
