SOUTH AFRICAN TUMULT.
Members OF the VOlksrad Bitter Against
Cecil Rhodes.

LONDON, May la Capatown dis
patch to the Times says: at is stated
from Pretoria that the interdiet upon
the property Of the reform prisoners
has been removed except in the case Of
Charles Leonard and DR.. Wolff.
In the vOlksrad of the Orange Free
State to-day several speakers denoun-
eed the British Chartered South Africa
company and Cecil Rhodes, the "Would-
be dictator of South Africa" They de-
clared that the sending Of British
troops to MRtabelsnd was q mere pre-
text to get troops into Africa.
President Steyn advocated the abro-
cation of all treaties with the company
which, he said, was a danger to South
Africa. He urged calmness, however,
and said he felt sure Mr.. Chamberlain.
the British colonial secretary, would
do his utmost in behalf of peace.
The Times, in an editorial, protests
against furnishing Cecil Rhodes for his
connection with the johannesburg raid
to sppease the Beers, "who," says the
Times. "srs eager for his downfall, not
from hatred, but from policy, he being
8 formidable champion Of British as
tendency. 1t is inconceivable that be
has been actusted By enmity to the
Dutch. His whole policy has been
based upon the cordial cooperation OF
the British and the Dutch. Is it a time
to deal harshly with the ablest and
most devoted imperialist in South
AfricaH"
The Times also has a dispatch from
Pretoria, which says: "The progressive
burgheFs think Punishment and a small
fine viii suffice as a punishment for
the convicted members of the JOhan,
nesbuFg national union. But the in
fuenee Of the Hollanders causes diff
culties."
The Daily News says editOrially
"MF. Rhodes has assumed the role Of
revolution mOnger, he ought to resign
his dictatorship in the Chartered com
pany."

THE PERSIAN SHAH AssAssINATED.
His Death Alleged to Be Due to the Ma
ehinatiOns Of His Son.

h-s Oeath AIieged 70 Be Due to the ma
ohinatiOns Of His Son.
LONDON, May 1.-The Shah of Persia
was assassinated by fanatic this after
noon just as be was about to enter the
inner court of the shrine of Shah
Abdul Aim, six miles north Of Te-
heran.
The assassin used a revolver and the
first bullet proved the fatal one, pass
ing through the heart. The physician
attached to the German legation was
sent for in haste, but before he arrived
the Shah was dead.
The assassin, who was promptly ar
rested, is said to be a sayid from Ker-
man, or from the province of that
name. It is believed the murderer has
sccomplices.
The heir apparent, Muzafer- ed Din,
was Immediately advised of the assss-
sination of his father and will leave
Tabriz, where he was sojOurning, for
Teheran as soon as possible.
LONDON, May ct is rumOred here
that the assassination Of the shah of
Persia was brought about by the ma
chinations of his eldest son, Massoud
Mirzia, governor of Ispahan. The late
shah often rebuked Mirzia for his IN
ruliness; and in 1888 recalled him and
allowed him to return to Ispahan only
after disbanding some of the regiments
and ordering him to pay more than the
usual tribute. Massoud Mirzia, who is
also known as the Tiles Sultan, OF Shsd-
Ow of the Kingdom, resented this treat
ment, and it was believed that he might
make an attempt to usHrp the throne.
Massond Mirzia is enormously rich. He
is very unpopular on account of his
cruelty and intolerance.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, May 6.-The strike
of the street car men is still on this
this city With promise Of important de-
veI0pments before the end. Not car
is being run. The time given by
the company to 90 to work or lose their
places has already expired, and it is
thought that new men will be put on.
There are reports this morning of large
gangs of men being brought into the
city TO take the strikers places. If this
is done, and an attempt made to run
the cars, trouble will certainly result.
The temper of the great crowds on the
streets shows that. The labor Organi-
cations of Milwaukee will not tolerate
the running of cars by new men.
There was a riot on Reed street on
the South side yesterday. A mob
stopped a car and lifted it from the
track and the police had hard work to
prevent the crowd from smashing it.
On the Twelfth street line a portion Of
track was torn up and and big stones
rolled on it. A special meeting Of the
city council has been called for to-

strike matter. A movement is on foot

Senators Teller and Sherman Run Foul Of
Each Other on Finance.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-Two notable
speeches by Senator Teller and Senator
Sberman-representing opposing ele-
ments on the financial question-were
heard in the senate Wednesday. Mr..
Teller addressed himself particularly
to the Ohio senator, contrOVerting the
views held by him and maintaining
that no honest effort had been made in
the present congress to pass a tariff
bill. The senator referred in passing
to the Mckinley candidacy, saying that
the motto of advance agent Of prosper
ity" was delusiVe, as no prosperity could
come until financial conditions were re-
formed. The climax Of Mr.. Teller's
speech was reached when he anROunc-
ed that be would vote as he spoke and
that he would not hesitate to seperate
himself from the great party with which
be had been allied for 40 years if it pro
nounced for the gold standard. Mr.,
Sherman answered Mr.. Teller, arguing
against a 5O-cent silver dollar and an
nouncing that the time had come for q
decisive opinion from the people. BE
appealed the case, he said, to the tFibu-
nal of the American people at the com.
