THE GREAT NORTHERN,s PREsI.
DENT EMPHATICALLY DENIES
REPORTED CHANGES.
VERlEST SWAsH AND DRlVEL.
HAVE NOT EVEN THE MERIT, HE
SAYS, OF YELLOW-BACKED
NOVELS.
NOTHING IN THESE RUMoRs.
But the Road, the Gentleman Says,
Reserves the Right to Make
Chunsss.

Whatever may happen in the future
there will be no change at this time of
Great Northern officials in any DEPART
ment.
This is on the authority of President
James j. Hill, who stated last night
in substance that the many changes
which 1t was rumored would take place
with the advent of the new year are
the result of the overwrought magma
ton Of idle gossips and shiftless news
papers.
The changes spoken of for the past
fortnight have been quite as impossi-
BILE as numerous, and relate to several
departments of the road. 1t has been
variously stated that General Mana
ger Warren and General Traffic Man
ager Shute would resign; that Mr.
Shute was to succeed Mr.. Warren
and that General Traffic Manager r
b. Clarke, of the Northern Steamship
company, was to fill a similar position
with the railroad. 1t was further inti-
mated that Vice President WP CIough
would sever IFS connection with the
road at this time. Published state
nents have contained the names Of
with the road who were said to be
slated for new positions in it's admin
istration.
Mr.. Hill was seen last night at his
residence and asked if there was any
foundation for the many rumors con-
corning changes. He was plainly an
noyed at the character and frequency
of the absurd stories, and was un n is
takably emphatic in declaring them ut
terly groundless.
"All we know about these changes
is what we see In some Of the pa
pers," he said. Really it is getting so
bad that we've almost to adopt heroic
measures. These stories which have
appeared in the papers about changes
in the Great Northern are the veriest
swash and drivel, and have not even
the merit of a yellow-backed novel,
which sometimes is based on fact.
There is nothing in it at all. It's sick
ening."
Does that apply generally to all the
rumored changes" he was asked.
There is nothing in these rumors at
ALL"
In reply to query as to the posi-
bility of changes in the near future
Mr.. Hill remarked simply, 1--WE always
reserve to ourselves the right to make
changes"

TRYING TO AVERT TT.
--anberlain Doing HIS Best, bu
Jamison Cut the Wires,

LONDON. Jan. 1.-The secretary of
state for the colonies, Joseph Cham
berIain, has issued the following state
ment of the Transyaal question:
Having learned on Monday evening that
Dr.. Jamison had entered the Boer country, |
nave since been continuously engaged in an
en1eavor to avert the consequences of his ex-
traordfnary action. Sir Hercules Robinson
has by proclamation publicly repudiated DR..
Jamison's act and has enjoined the British
Dr. Jamison and his officers have also been
ordered to retire immediately. 1t is hoped

with. have called upon the chartered com
pany TO repudiate Dr.. Jamison's proceedings.
OF which the company says it is entirely fg-
1oIant, 1oT Mr.. Cecil Rhodes premier of Cape
Golony) mas stated that DR.. Jamison acted
without his authority. AS soon as he heard
that ne contemplated entering the Transvaal
ne endeavored to stop him but found thai
the wires were cut
1t is reported that Dr. Jamison wrote
TO Commandant Marice, who cautioned
him to retire, as follows: IT have in
formed you that 1 intend to proceed
with my original plans, which are not
hostile against the people of the Trans
Yaal. But we are here in reply to the
invitation OF the principal residents Of
the RandS, to assist them in their de-
mands for justice and the ordinary
rights of every citizen of a civilized
state"
1t appears from this letter that DR..
Jamison was not induced to take the
ordinary step Of invading a friendly
country in time Of peace by the fear for
the lives of women and children or a
native uprising, but in order to sup
port political movement which is in
the nature of a constitutional agita-
tion for a redress Of grievances

ecutive council Of the National union,
the only member in London, discussing
the situation in the Transvaal, said:

NOT TO BE TOLERATED.
The German Papers Raise Roar
Against JamisOn.


Against JamisOn.
BERLIN, Jan. 1.-The news of the
invasion of the Transvaal republic by
an armed British force has created a
decided sensation here. The Kreuz Zei-
tung commenting on the news says:
Everywhere the same greed and bad
faith. Today it is Africa, yesterday it
was South America
In discussing the invasion Of the
Transvaal by the forces of the British
South African company all the news
papers declare that DR.. Jamison's ac-
ton constitutes serious and unjusti-
fable breach Of the peace, against
which Germany must protest. The Ma
tional Zeitung remarks that German in
terests demand the maintenance of the
independence of the South African re-
public and it expects that the govern
ment will vigorously defend and come
to President Kruger's aid in case Of
necessity. The Vossische Zeitung says:
1.-The action Of DR.. Jamison cannot be
tolerated It is the duty of the German
government to Immediately take ener
getic steps to protect endangered Ger
man interests and at the same time
those Of our kinsmen, the Beers. 1t is
impossible to protest too strongly
against this act Of violence on the part

CHAMBERLAIN pREC1pITArE.
London Times Thinks He Has Taken
Too Much on Himself.

IL
Too Much on Himself.
LONDON, Jan. 2.-The Times in an
editorial thinks that Colonial Secre-
tary Chamberlain censure of DR..
Jamison for the invasion Of the Trans
vaal, In the absence Of the man who
has undeniably rendered great and dis
tinguished services to his country, is
somewhat precipitate. The Belfast
Evening Telegraph publishes a pri-
vate letter from Buluwayo, South Afri-
ca, dated Nov. ], stating that there
was talk even, at that time of the Eng
rsh seizing the Transvaal and that
the South Africa company's troops had
gone south for that purpose under Sc
cret orders, with ten guns and many
wagons.
A dispatch from The Hague to the
Times says that the Rotterdamsche
Courant regards DR.. Janlison's action
in the Transvaal as a most fragrant
example Of British arrogance. It ad-
mits that Holland can do nothing for
the Beers, and fears that England
will seize the opportunity to wipe out
the stain of the Majubhill incident. It
also expresses the hope that Germany
will come to. the rescue. The Berlin
correspondent of the Times says:
1.-THE orlsis is clearly endangering the An
glo-German relations. Public opinion Is ex-
cited and angry and without doubt the gov
ernnent will interfere because relations have
gradually arisen between the Transvaal and
Germany which have assumed, in the public
mind. almost the shape Of a moral protec-
torate by Germany over the Transvaal."
Tho following dispatch received from Jo-
hannesburg is undated, but it is presumed 1t
was sent on Sunday or Monday. There is no
indication, however. that DR.. Jamison's ac-
ton was publicly known when it was dis
patched from Cape Town:
German spectators here have circulated
q petition to President Kruger assuring him
of loyal support, but only twenty signatures

mans. At. mass meeting of Australians

LONDON. Jan. 2.-It is stated that
President Kruger has telegraphed to
Colonial Secretary Chamberlain pledg-
ing his government that Beers shall
temporarily adopt passive attitude
toward DR.. Jamison's force on it's ar
rival outside Johannesburg. An impor-
tant feature of this arrangement is
that all responsibility for hostility will
rest with the South Africa company.
The Berlin correspondent of the Daily
News says: Il have reason to doubt
the correctness of the statement that
Kruger has offered Germany protec-
torate over the Transvaal. Such step
would imply a violation Of conventions
with England"
In it's financial article the Times says:
The outcome Of the crisis in the
Transvaal is bound to be an improved
administration there, and that it there
fore behooves holders of African shares
to keep cool and not to throw them
away in a panic"

GRAVITY OF THE s1TUATIoN.
Danger of Serious Rupture With
the kaiser.

LONDON, Jan. 1.-The news from
Pretoria. Transvaal republic, today,
tends to confirm the gravity of the sit
uation there growing out. of the invasion
of the Beer Territory by an armed
force of the British South African COM
pany. numbering about TOO men. with
six Maxim gins, led by DR., Jafnison,
the British commissioner, A dispateh
received here from the Transvaal by
are advancing to meet Jamtson. A con-
f1ict is hourly expected.
The afternoon newspapers comment
at great length Oh this fresh trouble
which the British government has TO
face. They recognize the fact that the
invasion Of the Transvaal, although
made upon the urgent request OF thou-
sands of Englishmen and others, who
complain that they have to pay the
whole revenue of the country while be-
ing denied representation, is liable to
give particular offense to Germany,
whose friendship at this critical stage
the MARQUIS of Salisbury is most anx-
ious to cultivate. AS the telegraph
wires are believed to have been cut
behind DR.. Jamison,s force. and as the
Boer forces, well armed and equipped,
have been modified under Gen. Jou-
bert, news of bloody conflict Is ex-
pected. The Beers can put In the uelu
about 5000 good fighting men. support
ed by Maxim guns, and to oppose this
force DR.. Jamison may receive the d1-
rect or indirect assistance Of about 1000
unframed and badly armed Engltshmen.
However, JamisoH may be able to call
to his support 1000 men belonging to
the Deberes company, whose headquar-
tiers are at Kimberly. These men are
well equipped and would prove an eff
fective reinforcement But as the lat
ter is already said to be advancing on
johannesburg he may meet the Beers
and the issue be decided before any re-
Inducements can reach him, Great
Britain, through the colonial secretary,
has offered to arbitrate the matter, but
1t is feared that the offer has come too
late and that the most serious conse-
quences are to be apprehended.
The Globe this evening says a rumor
has reached London that DR.. Jamison
mas arrived at Johannesburg.
DR.. Jamison, the leader Of the invad-
ing party, Is the administrator for the
British South Africa company's terri

Orders to Rush Work on the Big

WATERFOWL (Mass.), Dec. 2-The
orders from Washington to the Com
mander of the Watertown arsenal are
that thework on the gun carriages that
have been under process of construction
for several months must be pushed for
ward as vigorously as possible.
Major Reilly has received three tele-
grams from the War Department au-
thorities in Washington directing him
to ship Immediately to Sullivans Is
land, Charleston Harbor, s. c., the four
gun carriages that have been made for
the forts on the island. One is now on
the way and the remaining three will
be ready to be sent South in a day or
two.
Eight special cars were built by the
Fitchburg Railroad for the transporta-
ton of these carriages, each of which
weighs about forty tons These car
riages are for 12-inch breech-loading
mortars, and the emplacements for
them are almost completed at Charles
ton, where a large force of Government
employees have been at work upon them
for the past four months.
All this rush at the arsenal has been
the cause of much speculation among
the employees as well as the people of
Watertown, who have been interested

it indications of fear that the Govern
ment may yet have trouble with Spain.

CHICAGO, Dec. -Four children
locked in a house at 1916 Fifty third
avenue We're smothered to death dur
ing a fire in pile of clothing in a room
where they were all playing to-day.
Mrs. Mary Barth. the mother left the
house at 1890 O'Clock to go to the Chi
cago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway
yards to pick coal, locking the door
behind her. The children, Joseph, i
years; Rosa, 4 years; John, years,

mother they secured box of matches
and it is supposed ignited the clothne,
in their play. The curtains over the
only window in the room We're burned,
and the easements We're scorched.
The distracted mother returned two
hours later, to find the house filled
with smoke. The heap of burned
clothing was still smoldering, and the
bodies of the little ones were lying on
the floor. An empty bucket was near
by, indicating that an attempt had
been made to extinguish the blaze I'm
able to open either doors or windows
and having exhausted the supply of
water in the house, the four children
were overcome in the dense smoke that
filled the house and were dead before
assistance came.
John Barth, the father, is a team
ster, and had left home to attend to
his work early this morning.
