intended departure been shipped to
the unspeakable woman in this city.
It lis believed that these trunks and

The Death Sentence in the Reform
Commission Not unexpected.

LONDON, April 29.-The sentence
of the Transvaal commission ito death
has produced a great sensation in Lon
don In we'll informed circles, how
ever, the sentence has caused little
surprise. 1t has long been understood
mat a very severe sentence would be
passed in order that clemency which
President Kruger is certain to exer-
else might appear greater. 1t is
thought that probably the sentence Of
death will be commuted to a short
term of Imprisonment and a big fine
unless Mr.. Chamberlain's dispatch to
President Kruger, read in the house
of commons, should irritalte the chief
magistrate of the TransvaE into great
er severity than he would otherwise
